Same, even used the 3D disc on my old 600hz 3D Plasma.

A bit of a hard sell in the UK though being a movie based on a franchise that has never seen a prior UK release. Surprisingly the mid 2000s version was broadcast on Irish childrens tv.

There was another Re: Cyborg movie (I don't think it was a series?) that I saw later on where the Cyborg group was hiding out on a ranch somewhere, and were being attacked by the bad guys, I remember it vaguely because it's been so long since I saw it. IIRC I think it was a better story than 009. Is that perhaps the mid 2000's version you are referring to?

It was a series, it was broadcast in Japan in 2001 and was shown on Toonami in the US. It's one of the early 2000s series locked in Sony hell like Blood+.

From Wiki
A third television series, entitled Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 14, 2001 to October 13, 2002 on Sundays at 18:30. It spanned a total of fifty-one episodes.

The opening theme song for the third anime television series was "What's the Justice?" by Globe. The first ending theme was "Genesis of Next" by Globe followed by "Starting from Here" by Globe and later was replaced with "I Do" by Fayray.

The 2001–2002 series of Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier was dubbed by Animaze, Inc. and ZRO Limit Productions, and was shortened to its manga name. The English-dubbed version of Cyborg 009 aired on Cartoon Network as part of its weekday after-school action anime/animation programming block, Toonami in 2003 with the first 26 episodes, and was on its unnamed late Friday night/Early Saturday morning “Graveyard Shift” line-up in 2004 to air episodes 27 to 42, before it was dropped from their lineup. The edited version of the series was also distributed by Sony Pictures Family Entertainment Group, while the uncut version is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.

A series that has been available on Blu-ray for the past several years in the UK via MVM, & they are asking £40 for a CE. No way this is going to sell well. I will wait & pick it up in a sale, once it drops below £20.

Hopefully whoever they hire will start doing the monthly Newswire announcements again.

I just hope the job involves talking here as well (probably not I can understand this forum not being as big as other places for communication but would still like it).

Think of it this way. At least you're saving money
on something you really want, and for any essential spending you may have (if any).

There are quite a few already released titles I like myself, but I haven't been bothering with pre-orders lately, nor have I been rushing to buy them, because I chose to set aside money for holidays (mostly Glasgow trips) and for the essentials (e.g. car repairs), plus a few titles from other distributors (UK or overseas) that I want more (e.g. Tokusatsu titles from Discotek).

I'm still waiting for them to release We Rent Tsukumogami, which they picked up the license for about 5 years ago now... They've even responded to me here in the forum a few times over the years that it was still in the works and is coming, but it's been over a year or more since they last told me that, and I'm thinking their licence will be expiring soon if it hasn't already. sigh. I was super-looking forward to that release. :(
 
I'm wondering if we're ever getting the Cardcaptor Sakura movies as I know the second one was announced at least and I think the first was mentioned?

Though I've already decided I'll get the Discotek releases eventually and if we do get them, I'll replace them.

Along with We Rent Tsukumogami there's also Comet Lucifer, Gakuen Basara: Samurai High School! and High School Fleet which was announced way back. I personally feel they're never coming at this point but I'd like to be proved wrong.

From what I can remember, they haven't licenced the first movie. In the end, I chose not to wait any longer, and ordered myself Discotek's release of the two movies (alongside Metal Hero series Space Sheriff Sharivan and Mobile Cop Jiban).

But yeah, it is annoying when they announce something, and do nothing with it for so long to the point where the license expires before they had the chance to release it.

And regarding cinema releases, they haven't yet announced the nationwide dates for City Hunter: Angel Dust, Macross Plus: Movie Edition, Komada - A Whisky Family and The Concierge. The former two were announced last year, while the latter two was only a few months ago.
