Get the Japanese DVD


Probably the best version you can get hold of

Hi bigbro6060, would you be kind enough to post a link to a site where the Japanese DVD can be bought?

EDIT: On second thoughts, don't. Why would you recommend a DVD with optical fogging? I've been reliably informed that's how it is. I'm waiting until an American label picks it up, or it's verified that a decent (uncut and English subs) DVD is released. At the moment, the only (apparent) uncut option is the German DVD.

I watched my Japanese version last night. As for the optical fogging (and I agree, HATE HATE HATE it) it's very minimal. The fogging is (of course) to one of the guys wangers. A couple of shots of the female furry bush however are out in all their glory.

The other downside are the English subs. Almost every sentence that is said has been re-written by what must be a child.
'This' instead of 'These', 'Him' instead of 'They'. It can get quite confusing at times.
Thankfully the film doesn't have much dialogue and it's easy to figure out what is going on and why etc.

Depends on your patience really. I would prefer to have this version than have to wait for an American distributer which ofcourse, could never happen.

It's not the worst version around i'm sure and to be fare it didn't take anything away from the picture.

Thanks schramm2003

Gotta say, this doesn't strike me as a dialogue rich film. I can make my way through iffy subtitles without too much of a problem but cuts and censoring are a different thing.

Yeah they bug me too. I think my version of Guts Of A Beauty is the worst offender. Apparently every male in Japan has Spectrum ZX type fogging between their legs.

As I say, there's only really one full-on scene that's 'fogged' as such but i'm not too convinced it was even necessary. I don't think you'd really be able to see the 'offending shlong' anyway as his shirt is hanging over it. The fogging actually draws MORE attention to it than need be.
