Member bamboo spear Posted May 27, 2007 Member Share Posted May 27, 2007 Years ago I got suckered into ordering the Chinese adaptation of this, which was just horrible. Edo was Peking, Ishikawa Goemon was Pak Sung, etc. Absolute "engrish" subtitles. There's a boxset on Ebay which claims to be good quality for around 40 bucks (I think it's the entire run, too). Anyone familiar, or have a good link for another brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daisho2004 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 bamboo, Merlin over@www.samuraidvd.net/ is doing a remastered version of this series BTW the ones being sold on eBay were Scavaged from Merlin in the 1st. place so I would wait if you really want a new remastered set of this series, it is an Excellent series.

Guest inchilottaP Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Is the first poster even real? :lol The Edo=Peking thing sounds like it was actually a schill setup since i've seen the Chinese version and thats not what the subs say. Sorry in advance if i'm being a conspirator and this was all real somehow. 8o The only real way to own these if your a fan is to order the original Japanese dvds and get the subtitles from kloofy.net and make your own custom dvd. :hat It'll all cost you the same in the end given the non-ebay 'options' now.

Member bamboo spear Posted May 29, 2007 Author Member Share Posted May 29, 2007 It was pretty bad. I haven't seen it in years, but I remember all the characters going by the Chinese readings of their names. It was such jumbled Engrish, I eventually turned them off and braved the Japanese audio.
