With coming from Panasia Films, I'm a bit worried about the subtitles after what they did with their 20th Century Boys BD release. Does anyone know if they did the same with 20th Century Boys Chapter 2?

Yes, Chapter 2 was the same as the first.

I did not care for the Detroit Metal City Anime, so I will pass on this one...

What's wrong with the subtitles for that one?

20th Century Boys Chapter 1 & 2 both have English subtitles with forced Chinese subtitles. Its not as bad as it sounds and IMO you get used to it fast.

OrlandoEastwood · 10-07-2009, 12:37 AM

Oh, ok. I'm used to that. The Hong Kong Godzilla DVDs & VCDs are like that.

u_nick · 10-07-2009, 01:19 AM

Hmm, I love this anime. I might have to start importing for this title alone!

I thought this movie was really average. It wasn't that funny and the way Kenichi Matsuyama plays both his parts is way too over the top even for a Japanese comedy. It just took me out of the movie.

Just saw this, great film! It really needs to be re-released on blu ray or 4k.
