Forgive me if this seems a little paranoid, but it looks like we may have upset the folk at Madman Entertainment with our quickie review of their DVD release of Ninja Scroll. That right folks, in a lil under 2 weeks time Siren are unleashing a further 6 Monkey DVDs onto the Region 4 markets. With a further 3 episodes a piece and remastered video and audio, this series is one that fans don't want to miss. I've just returned from Singapore and have finally had a chance to have a sit down session with the Region 4 Ninja Scroll DVD release. In The Shell release have been cleared up this time for Ninja Scroll.
Subs appear in a perfect state of synchronization with the on screen action.
There's a trailer of the upcoming ADV cinema blockbuster Spriggan. With a side by side comparison of the DVD release and the VHS release it appears the VHS release looks much more vibrant. I'm no expert on editing and transferring video footage, but the effect is reminiscent of these DVD coming from a VHS master. It's horribly unfair for one country to suffer because of another country's censorship policies. Overall perhaps only 1 minute of footage was lost, but in the end it's still unacceptable.
