Zebraman they acquired like five years ago and Scrap Heaven they were supposed to release over a year ago. But Hair Extension and the Shaws sound interesting. Or maybe not the Shaws, they'll probably release then remixed, converted and in wrong language...

Years of waiting and then two distributors announce Five Elements Ninjas at the same time. But hey, I'm not complaining. IVL's gonna screw up their release for sure

And Five Elements Ninjas isn't the only MB SB title I'm gonna get, so yeah, looking good.

Why are IVL going to mess it up?

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 11 Jul 2007, 19:34

I think they're still doing PAL to NTSC transfers

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 11 Jul 2007, 19:56

Oh, right

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 11 Jul 2007, 23:01

Still beats Image's PAL-NTSC-NTSC speed transfers

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 23 Jul 2007, 12:32

It also relisted these Tokyo Shock titles: Zebraman, Devilman, EXTE:Hair Extension, Akihabara @ DEEP, 10 Shaw Brothers titles (Heroes Two, The Master, Challenge of the Masters, The Deadly Duo, The Brave Archer, Martial Club, Ten Tigers of Kwangtung, Black Magic 2, The Flag of Iron, Five Elements Ninjas), Kisarazu Cat's Eye 1 and 2, and Takashi Miike's live-action Crows Zero prequel (based on Hiroshi Takahashi's Crows schoolyard-brawl manga).

Blimey, I never thought I'd see the Kisarazu films picked up by a western distributor, that's very good news.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 23 Nov 2007, 06:32

They've acquired the Lone Wolf and Cub TV series.

Heroes, Brad, not Warriors.

What's wrong with the review? Appart from lacking caps I thought it was pretty informative.
