I noticed an earlier post mentioned a place someone stuck a PDF file at but I guess I missed that (that was 6 years ago). I do see there's this one page with a translation from 1996.... I suppose that'll suffice.<br />http://www.cyberspace.org/~n8rxs/main.htmChris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-63250021289776314102015-02-16T13:35:01.613-06:002015-02-16T13:35:01.613-06:00Wonderful news!

The atmosphere is just so other-worldy and dreamlike, and the story is very deep and full of interesting symbolism. Plus, that soundtrack. <br /><br />Been waiting for a proper English re-release of this for a long time.echoBlasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652657055115915791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-36861518140804108422015-02-16T12:17:35.994-06:002015-02-16T12:17:35.994-06:00I know you have some connections with Discotek, Da...I know you have some connections with Discotek, Daniel, and I was wondering if you could shed a bit of light on their marketing strategy. I've sent multiple e-mails to the company, but have never received a reply. They always promise that a blu-ray release will follow shortly, but have thus far failed to deliver on several big releases (Horus and Cagliostro being a couple of glaring examples). I understand that remastering and authoring in HD takes longer than standard definition, but this practice of staggering the releases and providing us with only vague details is frustratingly uncommon, even among the smaller distributors I've dealt with. Personally, I haven't purchased a DVD in years, and I don't know many cinephiles in my circle who have. I'm not saying there isn't still a waning market for them, but I think most of us are holding off on purchasing these titles until the superior versions become available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458123868350647272noreply@blogger.com
