I've known it was coming for quite a while, but it's nice to have a date (well, a month) for it.

Just went to go to their site and it says to register for info on the title. It also has a small box for suggestions on the release as well. Sounds good!

They've even updated their site which has Inuyasha on there under their Fabuki Rocks line. Hopefully they can get a bit of a momentum going now as they've now established a line for eastern product.

This link was put up on another forum, but the second paragraph beneath the main image has some info on the UK release:

3 13-episode sets sounds quite cool. Smile

never saw this as a kid but a mate who really cherishes this showed me an episode, very catchy theme tune. I just know he'll be happier than cold pig in warm mud when he finds out.

Here's another update, according to the HMV entry, and tvshowsondvd.com. (italics is their commentary, after speaking to Fabulous Films)

All 39 Episodes With Fully Restored Picture And Sound

Previous plans we posted about called for 3 different releases from Fabulous, each with two discs containing 13 episodes. Fabulous Films has instead decided to go with a 6-DVD set with all 39 episodes in a single package. They have not yet started the authoring and encoding process, so the number of discs could potentially change. They tell us this: "we want to get the DVD compression rate right, so the quality of the restoration (picture and sound) can be appreciated". Sounds great! There may be releases later on that break up the big package into smaller chunks, but for now they are going mainly with one Complete Series release.

Dubbing Cast Interview Documentary Featuring The 4 Lead Characters

Interview With Creators Jean Chalopin And Bernard Deyries

Interview With Composer Shuki Levy

While the above-mentioned interviews with the Cast and the Creators are already recorded and "in the can", the Shuki Levy interview won't be filmed until after the New Year holiday. There's no reason at this time to believe it won't be on the DVDs, but nothing is certain until the interview actually happens, of course!

Phillip Schofield Broom Cupboard Singalong

This item is pending legal clearances, so it is not yet certain to be included on these DVDs.

Karaoke Singalong

Original Storyboards

Unfortunately this extra cannot be included, because all of the storyboards could not be located. Instead, Fabulous hopes to substitute it with an interesting look at the development process, using some of the storyboards they do have, and comparing them to the final animations.

Original Concept Designs

Cast And Crew Biogs

Episode Synopses

Subtitles

English subtitles are confirmed; they are not yet certain if any other languages will be included.

Series Synopsis

Deleted Scenes

Deleted Scenes are not completely nailed down yet, but probably will be able to be included.

All 39 Original Documentaries

For those of you who don't recall, this item refers to the short features at the end of every episode, each roughly three minutes long, that went over the actual history of a subject that figured into the story just watched (such as the Amazon rainforest, or the Straights of Magellan, or an object quested after or encountered). All of them will be included, as originally broadcast.

Medallion

This gold medallion, a physical reproduction of the item from the show, is still not finalized for inclusion with HMV's release, but rather still "in discussions". However, if it DOES happen, then it would an HMV-only exclusive, so it wouldn't likely be seen anywhere in the USA...except for the unlikely event that a local retailer makes a similar negotiation to include it, or something similar to it. USA fans shouldn't get their hopes up on getting this item.

A3 Poster

A poster of the show. By "A3" they refer to the size of the poster, which is roughly 11 inches by 17 inches (43cm x 28 cm).

Booklet

6 Collectors Postcards

The number "6" isn't set in stone yet; it may end up being more or less than 6

HMV have this exclusively until late June at which point it's on general release. For those still interested play.com will have an exclusive CD soundtrack it seems: http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/3337194/Mysterious-Cities-Of-Gold/Product.html

I've been watching this for the last couple of weeks, and I have to say it's awesome. Just as good as I remember. Most shows date. This one didn't... much.

Well you can't do anything about the animation or the dub. But the story and the characters are just as addictive now as they were back then.
