If its listed on the packaging then you SHOULD get it otherwise it can classed as false advertising (i.e. advertising something that's not included).
Anyway I don't think this has been mentioned before, and I also don't think it is a "wide-issue" but I've just discovered that Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere - Season 1 (Blu-ray) does not work properly on My Samsung Blu-ray Player (Samsung BD-C5900) - the video plays but no audio is present (also won't allow me to change audio via pop-up menu etc).
It's a similar issue to Un-Go not working properly on Panasonic Blu-ray players.
I know its a relatively old title but I just recently picked it up so I thought I'd point it out.

Warning
Both super robot wars and koe De oshigoto have issues
Super robot wars episode 25 and 26 dialog is way way off
And
Koe de oshigoto keeps going back to the menu after each chapter
I wrote a message to media blasters on face book to ask if they can replace them and hopefully they will replace it.
And about the durarara blu-ray discs.........wasn't they going to replace the defaulted discs?........come on guys help me out here.

About durarara good.
I'm still waiting for MB answer
I'm afraid MB is outside of the scope of a UK disc thread, but I sent in my copy of Koe De Oshigoto (this is where we all admit to owning and liking that show) and have yet to hear back. They initially said they would replace the faulty discs for foreigners too, so I'm hoping it will eventually turn up :S

The UK Kaze Releases use the original (untranslated Japanese text) opening and closing; whereby the VIZ Media (Blu-ray releases at least) used translated text based openings; so I assume that the Kaze releases are uncut.
Basically the text (which lists people involved with the production of the series) is all in Japanese on the Kaze releases, while the Viz Media releases are all translated into English so you can read who was involved with the show.
In terms of 'differences' - does anyone know what was edited out? as I remember seeing blood in both UK and US releases of Part 1.

Here we are again. From MVM's Facebook:
Thing is, FtNW is a fairly recent Sentai release, and I thought they'd fixed whatever was causing this particular issue a while back. I can't find any mention of the audio at Fandom Post, either in the review or the forums, and that'd be the first place it'd come to light. And "Japanese orginals"? Yeah, I'm sure it's the fault of the Japanese that the English audio is out of sync.
I can't check this myself because my disc 2 is borked but MVM openly admit that the problem exists. Yeah we know about that, not our fault, kthxbai.

Wasn't the FTNW BD locked to Region A by Sentai? In which case Hanabee would have had to reauthor it in Australia for Region B. Which means the (Australian) buck stops with Hanabee.

Hmmmm I might hold off purchasing until there's an answer/conclusion for all this.
If someone with the UK (or Australian) release who can spot the flaw can confirm a good place in the episode to verify where it's cropping up, we can clarify this once and for all. It seems ridiculously unlikely that the US and Japanese fans didn't notice or care when two people have already reported it in that Facebook thread, so I'm inclined to believe Hanabee's quality control has claimed another victim.

It seems likely that Hanabee did re-author the disc because it has white subtitles, and as far as I know Sentai have never used anything but yellow subtitles. EDIT: Also, there are no English language credit scrolls following the Japanese ED, as there are in all Sentai discs. My replacement disc 2 should turn up in the next couple of days so I'll verify the details of the issue if no-one else has done so by then.

This was the first thing that struck me reading that comment. :lol: If you had told me ten years ago that incidents like this would still be cropping up regularly and with such little communication between the companies and the fans in 2014, well, I guess I would have been stupid not to believe it.fabricatedlunatic said:
