Now that I have all the Japanese DVD sets purchased (or on order), I thought I'd post a list of exactly which episodes are on each DVD, along with a sample picture of what the DVD artwork looks like. If anyone needs help obtaining these uncut (meaning 'original songs' - no replacement music) versions, just let me know and I'll be happy to assist.

Wow, that DVD design is pretty awesome and with the episode titles on it too. Sigh, we really got ripped off.

Each Japanese DVD has different artwork (different picture of one of the main 3 cast members) and all are in either RED, WHITE or BLUE (a nice touch). Job well done. -Frank

Hey Maxwell - F.B.I.,

My girlfriends brother is going to Japan for a week in July and I wanted to get him to pick me up the Japanese sets. Will they run in R1 players?

If not, is there a player here in the States that will play R2 discs?

Are the discs that you have R1 or R2?

I noticed that the Japanese discs seem to be released seperately rather than in a boxed set like we do here. Am I correct?

Sorry for all of the questions but I am really starting to think about getting some of those Japanese sets. ;D

No, the Japanese DVDs will not run on region 1 only players unfortunately. In addition, they're quite expensive, running $110 for box #1 and $160 each for boxes #2 thru #5 (the Pilot runs around $60 by itself).

If you'd like more info, there's more to tell, and I'd be happy to help - just write to me at: kolchak@ameritech.net

Then they will play in any DVD player that will play those formats.
