Past L-E Projects / Re: Wolf's Rain Anticipation

What about the US release of Wolf's Rain? Well, according to amazon.com and a couple other anime distribution sites, the current date for the first DVD is June 22nd. I've heard rumors flying around that the Limited Edition (which comes with Kiba plush and the absolutely STUNNING soundtrack) has been pushed back to July 7th, but as far as I know that's a rumor.

Say, question for those that are in the know, how many episodes of Wolf's Rain will be on each DVD? The Japanesed DVD put on 2-3 per release, and the American version can't only have one because according to amazon the total running time is 125 min. Anyone know?

Why not just start buying the American DVDs as they come out? (Beginning next month).

One step ahead of ya, Tofu. I've already ordered the L.E. DVD, and while I know it'll come next month, for me it's an issue of basic hot anticipation. I really want to see what happens next, this anime simply enchants me. Oh well, patience is a virtue or something like that, my parental icons used to pount into my head. It'll come, but until then I'll have to rely on Adult Swim for *shudder* dubbed episodes.

GAAAAAAAH!!!!

*slams face on keyboard*

Once upon a time I swore I'd never download, or for that matter, watch, any well produced media that deserved payment. A friend of mine gave me (as I have a connection that runs ENTIRELY at 14k a sec and I don't have cable/satellite TV), at my request, live-evil subbed episodes 1-2 of Wolf's Rain off of bit-torrent because I wanted to sample the anime before I pursued it. I wanted more, I needed to know what would happen next, it amazed my and exceeded my wildest dreams. Frankly, I was blown away. I decided that I'd buy the DVD immediately and withough pause. *checks Amazon.com for american version of DVD* Date released? June 22nd. I swear to god I almost cried at my desk. "It's okay." I said to myself. "I can rely on trusty live-evil after I've pre-ordered it! Cuz I can't live without knowing what happens next."

Damn. Live-Evil obeys the law. Well shat.

I know you guys do this to stay within legal bounds (or, for the most part anyway), but I will admit that I'm disappointed, yet I feel guilty for watching it at the same time. I knew something was wrong when I saw 'episodes 1-22' and not '1-30'. I'm afraid of seeing what I shouldn't on Cartoon Network, perhaps me seeing an episode further than I am, also, I don't want pesky censorship that CN is notorious for.

Well, I really wish I could ask for links/locations/items to satiate my needs for the first anime I have ever loved, but I suppose I will have to wait. Someone worked to produce this piece of art, and I don't want to steal it. I want it so badly, and although I know I will get it, I don't want to wait. Though this is my first serious interraction/obsession with an anime, I already hold a firm conviction it is one of the best ever.

Gah, ever does it hurt when the only way to satisfy my needs means crossing my morals. Can anybody help? Could I get a japanese DVD to work in an American player? Will the Kiba pluhie and soundtrack with vol.1 bring upon a rush of joy that will make it all worth it when my Limited Edition arrives in my mailbox in June?

Hurk... Bleagh.

p.s.: Did this seem pointless? It was. I just needed a place to vent. Sorry. *prays for a miracle*
