Re: Season 1, Part 1 coming out on DVD August 17th in Australia! Part 2 in October!

Quote:
All works of fiction deserve to be uncut, so I'd want that for Digimon purely on principle

I agree, but the Fox cast didn't dub an uncut version, and the edits were nothing more than skipping Mat and Tai throwing Joe into a bath, as well as a couple other things.

And I happen to find the Japanese cast to be superb (not to disparage the English voice actors--they started out rough and have quite a few miscast roles, but they still did a great job overall)

I found the japanese cast to be painfully average. I found the English voices to be brilliant, AND they have the nostalgia factor.

Quote:
Really, though--the music? You don't like the original score? The music is easily one of Digimon's strongest features. Quite aside from a superior placement (there were good pieces in the dub music, it very often didn't match the scene), I find Digimon is missing something without Kouji Wada.

Digimon adventure is all about these kids' adventures through this crazy new world. The pure fun English soundtrack is far more apt than the Japanese soundtrack, with it's dull pretentiousness being more suited to some religious show.

All the rest I can agree to disagree with, but this I cannot. There are some good pieces in the dub score, but there's no sense of arrangement. Big sweeping dramatic pieces play during peaceful scenes, and the battle song is...a campfire chorus. doh! Taking arrangement alone into account, the original score is superior (and I feel it does better display that sense of wonder you were talking about).

Seriously, even with a schizophrenic script, Digimon's dubs would have been THAT much better if they'd just kept the original scores.

Campfire chorus? It's light rock.

And you can't talk about arrangement while defending the japanese score, it doesn't suit the show in the first place.

Well, I think it does. And that's all I'll say on this subject, since this is just coming down to preferences, and we can't argue about those.

Re: Season 1, Part 1 coming out on DVD August 17th in Australia! Part 2 in October!

Hey,
Just an f.y.i.:
Yeah the video is definitely a fan-made one, cause well, I made it haha and some credit would be coolio smile
It wasn't meant to be pro, I kinda just made it to get the word out; Digimon is getting an official release!

Also just some information on the release:
This is the original Saban/Fox Kids English dub with the dubbed Soundtrack, no Japanese audio.
Madman rep's have said an uncut release would be impossible due to no uncut masters existing and a dual language w/ subs release would be unviable.
Only 2 Collections for season 1, 1st part August 17 and 2nd part due October.
The 'Check The Classification' thing, is Australia's rating system and the cover has been replaced with a yellow 'PG' rating for 'Low Level Violence' (also the PG isn't like the American PG-13).
Madman has said that so far they do not know if the US will be able to obtain rights for an official release from Toei.

Any other questions feel free to comment on my YouTube page.

Here is also a link to the artwork for Collection 2, hope you like it!

Also, I too am buying this for the nostalgia factor and love the English dub and Score.

DIGIMON FOREVER!

I've completely forgotten and the forum is playing the 'don't let me see earlier pages' game again, so was this release supposed to be 4 parts for Season 1 or just 2? Either way, I'm really hoping a US release is in the works as well.

Re: Season 1, Part 1 coming out on DVD August 17th in Australia! Part 2 in October!

For those who don't know, Digimon Seasons 1 thru 4 have all been released in Box-Set from on DVD. I am one of the few owners of these Limited Release Box Sets containing all 50+ Episodes.

[link removed]

However, I think most of you will shriek when you see the current pricing. Then again it DID start out as 79.99 and were very nice collectable boxes. Very well edited and restored I might say as well.

However, there were so few sold that the company Alliance Entertainment decided that it wasn't even worth trying to make a second run on any of these sets. So, a DVD release in North America would be a waste of FUNimation's time and effort.

For the record, what's done is done. Then again, I am quite fortunate to own all 4 of the best seasons. (Didn't care for Season 5)

If anything FUNimation might be even wiser to take on seasons or series that Haven't been done before.

This is coming from a Digi-Fan.

I'd like to see Season 6 (Digimon Xros Wars dubbed and released.
