Garo licensed for DVD
According to Tokusatsu Network, the first part of Garo season 1 will be out on Blu Ray on October 17th. I'm actually excited about this! What are your thoughts?

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
Japan just has phenomenal mark ups on Blu Rays across the board don't they?
If it's been licensed, I assume there is a market for it. Although with something like GARO, I assume most people that are into mainstream toku would have already watched it as it's usually one of the first fringe suggestions anyone would make.

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
Hmmmm... to be technically correct, it's being released on BluRay. I don't see a DVD listing on Amazon.... yet.
I'm thinking that the Garo animation was popular enough for them to release the live series. I have pre-ordered it even though it will collect dust on the shelf like DaiRanger and the upcoming MegaRanger DVD releases due to the previous TVNihon releases. It's the principal of it all.Catastrophe wrote:If it's been licensed, I assume there is a market for it.

Something happening on a show turns into a board comment.

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
Sh*t. Not just Blu-ray TV collection, but the streaming site as well. https://www.hidive.com/news/2017/6/23/l ... on-hidivet
Looks like the site streams the first four episodes as of this post.
(Sadly, I can't watch it on HIDIVE since I'm in the PH. But thankfully, I managed to download all of season 1 from Blu-ray Box.)

Four episodes of Garo streaming on HIDIVE, with rest of original series to follow

The release also goes out and says explicitly that Kraken has licensed the other movies and series, so TVN staff can do with that news what they will.

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand, I am excited it's coming to US but on other hand, often localization usually don't sub spoken English which iirc Garo season 1 had some. I did contact em couple months ago asking to make sure. They said they will look into it but no guarantee on their part.
For now I think I am luckier than most, since I can keep TV-Nihon's version as back up in case my fear came true.

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
Is there even a website for Kraken Releasing? I mean, I know it's basically a label outgrowth of Sentai Filmworks, S23 and the disassembled parts of ADV, but anyway.Silentwolfdog wrote:I have mixed feeling about this.

I'd check the Godzilla movies and such Kraken has put out, as well as the live action stuff from Sentai and Switchblade, to get an idea of what they may do. In any case, I don't think Garo proper had a whole lot of spoken English outside the OP and Kodama's moment in Garo Gaiden.
Puhleeze, do I look like their father? Come on...

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
I contacted S23 first since Kraken Releasing is their sister company for a contact information. They ended up giving my letter to someone in Kraken Releasing. That is as far as it is and at least I tried on my part.
I just hope it all works out. If not then ah well, still gonna support em I guess, even if it turns out that way.
Also, now I wonder, what resolution will they be using? Remaster version or? Can't find information on that.

Until they actually do it, the other series will still stay up. There's no reason to jump the gun.aresef wrote:https://www.hidive.com/news/2017/6/23/l ... on-hidivet

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
It's coming out on Bluray and only Bluray, so that, I imagine, is your answer.Silentwolfdog wrote:I contacted S23 first since Kraken Releasing is their sister company for a contact information.

As long as its region free disks, I will give them a try.

Re: Garo licensed for DVD
They most certainly do. That's why it's always a celebration when another Toku comes to American shores.Catastrophe wrote:Japan just has phenomenal mark ups on Blu Rays across the board don't they?
I'll miss TV-Nihon's subs but I applaud them for not holding onto subs for licensed shows. For those outside the US, you have my sympathies. My only advice is to invest in a multi-region DVD/Blu-Ray player, for good it can do.
I am excited they're going for Blu-Ray and hope it's as good/better than TV-Nihon's quality
Re: Four episodes of Garo streaming on HIDIVE, with rest of original series to follow
Good call. At this point, we don't know that the first release won't fail to sell, which would result in the later installments not getting released. They're taking a risk on a niche product. Only pull them once a release is announced.Phoenix512 wrote:Until they actually do it, the other series will still stay up.
