[QUOTE=Kirben;95318]Could you please remove that link, they clearly ripped those two episodes off the extras disc of the Australian Deluxe DVD set of the 1980s series, which anyone can buy online! Are you sure? It is out of stock at the moment, but maybe it will become available later. I certainly ...

Respectfully, many of your assumptions are I feel incorrect, and I'd like to share my logic here. Firstly, though I'm not running the project, I've said from the beginning personally I encourage people to buy the US release of the show (which I do own on DVD, though quite frankly, it's available on...

The 2003 series was recently re-released on DVD in the USA, due to the recent movie. So I don't see this petition making any difference to Sony Pictures (USA). A sub-license (unlikely) or license expiring (does it even expire?) would be only chances, of an uncut DVD release in the USA. I really doub...

Anyone else find this whole project wrong? you state fansubs, but this seems more like piracy. You don't seem to be translating anything at all, just ripping parts of the Japanese and Korean DVD releases, which you don't seem to own. And even asking for donations for this? If you really want to tran...

No group name is shown; There aren't any karaoke or subtitles for the songs either. It seems to be a straight Japanese DVD rip with accurate hardsubs added, and no further editing. Episodes 1 - 24 in high quality, with English subtitles sounds more like a rip of the Korean DVD releases. I don't thi...

The American market has American animation to choose from (Warner Bros, Hana-Barbera, etc), whereas there's really no Australian animation industry to speak of. We get a lot of Japanese animation. Not a valid point, as there is actually an animation industry in Australia. There have been many compa...

My favourite would be the Astro Boy 2003 series, based on what I have seen of the original Japanese version. There is more of a story throughout the series, and it is a completely different take on the purpose of Astro Boy's creation. With Astro Boy been the only free thinking robot, it makes the hu...

The Japanese DVD releases of the Astro Boy (2003 series) are still available (for sale) at the CD Japan web site.

But they only offer Japanese audio, and Japanese subtitles.

As I mentioned in original message, I was after a legal release. I would never buy bootlegs, as money doesn't go back into the anime industry and it usually ends up supporting crime. The subtitles of those bootlegs DVD releases are really shocking, that isn't understandable at all. I was hoping some...

In fact, the two sets you mentioned earlier are news to me. Please provide a link to them. There are images of the boxed sets of the Korean DVDs releases at the Ministry of Science web site. And they have been mentioned on these forums in the past. I imported the Korean DVDs releases through the Ye...
