Hi all!
quote: | Gatch II and F are available with Japanese subtitles (Japanese region) DVDs only. There are some fansubs out there with English subtitles, but they are bootlegs. |
|
Just to clarify, none of the Japanese releases of Gatchaman II or Gatchaman Fighter have any sort of subtitle/caption options, not even in Japanese. Japan really doesn't seem to go out of its way to help their handicapped. Just ask anyone in a wheelchair who needs to rely on the trains to get anywhere. Stairs everywhere at their stations!
So, if you were thinking of using them as a means to get the dialogue in a text format to translate, they'll be of no help. Both series have been released in Taiwan, dubbed into Mandarin, with optional Chinese subtitles, if that will help anyone. At least those sets are supposed to be Region 0, so they could be played on DVD players in North America!
As far as an official dubbed/subbed release in North America goes, there isn't one, and doesn't appear to be one on the horizon. Fansubs are pretty much your only option, if you can track them down, and I don't believe anyone has done the entire run of either series.
