Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discussion

[samuraix123]

Ah Thanks! Does anyone think that Funimation will get the right's to this and slap a double feature of this and the Remake of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans?
I would really love official release's And I don't even care if they Dub them. Just get them out!

It's not much, but it's something :

Thanks for the info.

Looks pretty good so far.

Y'know, I wonder if it ever occured to them to give us a time for when this streaming would occur.

[MCDaveG]

I tried some of the other videos listed on the page and was told "We're sorry this service is not available in your country.".

That's weirdly selfish of them compared to how nice they were back in 08' with not only streaming the special no matter where you were, but supplying subtitles too.
DB's got fans all over the world and they know that.

They care a lot if they can milk you off your money
That's not selfish, it's marketing. I actually was perplexed that they decided to stream 08' online worldwide, as usualy there is the sign: Made in Japan only for Japan )

One word, proxy.

One word, proxy.

If you can find a proxy that lets us play the other flash videos on the site, let us know, because all the ones I've tried just give me blue screens with no flash player.

[samuraix123]

I keep getting this video isn't available in your region Hopefully someone can find away around this.

Re: MCDaveG

Oh I have no problem paying money for it; I'd love to purchase the 2008 special if Funi ever gets their hands on it; the thing is Toei (or Shueisha) creating a product like this and then not making it available for purchase, even in Japan, that I find weird. You'd think that if you put so much effort into making a product that you'd want to also put it out on the market to make money.


Re: Craddle

This is true, maybe I just feel a little spoiled by that nice international feeling that went into what they did in 08. If I remember correctly they even had subtitles in Spanish and French as well. I'm sure it'll eventually appear somewhere unofficial at some point in the near future.

[JulieYBM]

It must be up because the video won't display for me.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

The spot where the EoB logo was is now just a white square for me, so I assume you're right.

[JulieYBM]

Mike seems to have confirmed it on Twitter, too. I guess they were waiting for noon...as I suspected!

[samuraix123]

So sad it tells me ''We're sorry Our current service is not available in your country'' Guess I'll haft to wait 4 or 5 months until someone uploads it

[JulieYBM]

Woah, weird. Are they re-using footage from the Bardock TV special in the opening?

[SonEric84]

It's a shame that we're not going to be able to watch it. I hope we get the chance to see it soon.

[lash]

I wonder how many people are pounding google looking for a Japanese proxy right now.

I wonder how many people are pounding google looking for a Japanese proxy right now.

I found plenty of them yesterday, but none of them support flash players. It takes up too much bandwidth.

[samuraix123]

Wait Kei17 is from Japan right? Maybe he might record it.

[Jackal puFF]

Aw man! Why build me up when you're just going to let me down.. It's too bad people outside Japan won't be able to watch this, oh well.

[VegettoEX]

Let's try to keep down the excessive:

"I can't watch it!"
"Me either!"
"Man, that sucks!"
"Yeah, totally!"

... types of discussions. Yes, it's up. Yes, it's region-locked. However, let's all do our best to keep the conversation relevant and helpful, as this thread will be getting lots more attention in the coming hours and days.

[jpdbzrulz4sure]

Region locked, huh? That blows.

Oh well, we could always hope it gets a retail release in the future, right?
