I've been downloading like crazy for the last few days, but the still, It would be nice with a DVD box you could give as a gift (I know a few girls who I'm shure would love Anne of Green Gables). <BR/>Also the A/V quality is better, and it's a better conversation piece to have people see the box for themselves in your DVD collection, than having to bring it up yourself. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I've already ordered Marco though and I want to thank you sincerily for bringing to my attention these excellent pre-Gibli Isao Takahata series and Hols, not to forget. I've heard of them before, but always brushed them off as 2nd rate TV bread and butter animation. Oh my was I ever wrong! Takahata is every bit the genius Miyazaki is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-68293036076006692642007-12-30T17:13:00.000-06:002007-12-30T17:13:00.000-06:00Thanks for the comment, Klaus.

I forgot about the link to the discussion thread, so I made sure to add it back in.<BR/><BR/>As for Squeak's question about Anne, I just checked the site this week, since I'm planning to buy some Marco box sets for gifts. The website says that the Anne DVD box doesn't include English subtitles, and I've never had any reason to doubt them. The Heidi set doesn't include English subs. Then again, 3000 Leagues does have them. Weird. It's a pretty inconsistent thing, and I really don't understand why this was the case. Some of the WMT series include subtitles, and some don't.<BR/><BR/>This isn't a problem for us, as far as Anne is concerned. Remember, we have the Anne of Green Gables fansubs, which are freely available via the links on this blog. It's only a matter of clicking a few links and downloading. Then you can watch on your computer, or burn to a DVD and watch on your television. It's all very easy.<BR/><BR/>One final note: I mentioned some time ago that I was scheming to press those Anne fansubs onto DVDs and share them around. It was pretty ambitious, actually, considering this was a zero-budget project. But I've found that so many DVD players have problems working with DVD-R's, that it wasn't worth it. Why these series aren't available commercially remains a puzzling mystery. Perhaphs only the biggest players (Disney, Dreamworks) could afford to assemble an American voice cast, which would likely be mandatory for any chance of success.<BR/><BR/>Then again, maybe I'm wrong on this, and you could succeed with only subtitles. Maybe that's something to bring families together. But I don't have the money to find out either way.Daniel Thomas MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406180871529775448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-6773641447955416732007-12-30T14:36:00.000-06:002007-12-30T14:36:00.000-06:00Slightly off topic, but did you ever buy this http...Slightly off topic, but did you ever buy this http://mall.jsdvd.com/product_info.php?products_id=379<BR/>(The Anne of Green Gables DVD box set)? Are there english subtitles? I know it says there isn't on the site, but since there english subs on the Marco boxset and the are by the same compagny I thought they might have enteres wrong data?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-63570471651852067812007-12-29T03:06:00.000-06:002007-12-29T03:06:00.000-06:00Wow, amazing discussion!
