Not a single one of my Japanese imports has included English subs or dubs. I do wonder if there is a connection between the ones that do, do they all share a common production committee, publisher or something?
Click to expand...
From what I've checked the majority are distributed by Aniplex (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero) or Bandai (Love Live! School Idol Project, Macross Delta). If either company has a seat on the committee then it's more likely the work will receive English support.
 
I can confirm the following, besides those mentioned above, have English subs:

Arknights: Prelude to Dawn
Baccano!
Black Rock Shooter (OVA)
Black Rock Shooter (TV) BD-Box
Bubble
Dog Days Season 1 LE Vol 1-6 (Later seasons do not have subs)

Fate/Grand Order: Divine Realm of the Round Table - Camelot Box Set
Fate/Grand Order: First Order/Moonlight Lost Room

Gurren Lagann The Movie 4K
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere LE Vol 1-7 Season I and Season II

Thank you for creating this thread, I might feel more confident to import with this resource.

I'll second that, very useful indeed to have this resource.

ActionFaust said:
Just letting everyone know I've set up a similar thread following the discussion earlier. I aim to keep this one more comprehensive and regularly updated.
Click to expand...
Thanks as well for this, much appreciated. Would it be possible to merge the two threads with shared admin amongst yourselves or whoever else is also able to update a main post?

I've never imported Japanese versions but will definitely feel more confident doing so as required. On that point, would you be able to suggest where to buy Japanese imports from? Thanks again.

I always get mine secondhand from Mandarake. Japan's secondhand market is great for finding stuff in pretty much brand new condition and at MUCH more reasonable prices.

Might do a section on my thread on where's best to import.

If the mods could merge this one into the other thread, it could be great, if ActionFaust doesn’t mind :)
Click to expand...
I don't oppose the idea but I wonder if the timing of thread replies might interfere with this. Merging threads could potentially leave the first post of my thread as the 13th reply. I wonder if there's something mods could do to move my post first to maintain the format.
 
farzam1999 said:
Oh okay, I thought that merging this thread into yours would “prioritize” yours and having your OP as the first post. Hmm, I can always delete the thread, but the replies will be lost…
Click to expand...
I'm not really too sure how merging works. I was just putting that forward as a potential issue. Even if they're separate I think it'd be a bit much to delete the thread. I'm sure they can coexist.

Perhaps @Professor Irony could offer some insight.
Was just wondering if there's a way to merge farzam1999 and my threads while maintaining my original post first? Wasn't sure if reply timings would interfere with this idea.
 
I think the only things I have that haven't been mentioned are the Code Geass: Akito the Exiled singles which have subs and the Soul Eater Blu-ray Box I & II which have both sub and dub.

Gurren Laggan The Movie 4K? Most sites list subtitles as "none" so happy to hear this!

@Teapot the fella to ask. Not too active on the forum itself, but I still think the admin in charge of the technical stuff.
Not sure what level can do it Prof I is a mod, so less powers? @Rui is also admin and could help.
 
Hey guys. I have moved all of the posts which were created after this thread into this thread and locked the old one, so while that's left a few orphaned posts in the old thread I think it's ok (since the threads both link to one another and you've already scooped up the contributions left in that one).

Great teamwork on the list so far!

Off the top of my head from what I have and hasn't been listed yet:
  • Mary and the Witch's Flower
  • Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative
  • Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway
all have English subtitles.

As for actually importing things I mainly use CD Japan. I previously used Amazon JP but a few years ago they started getting fussy on allowing pre-orders to international addresses so I have largely stopped using them to avoid additional costs of sending things to my proxy address if it's also available on CDJ. I also use Bandai Namco's official store (A-Smart) for some JP exclusive releases or releases with JP exclusive bonuses (such as the Aikatsu Planet box which was A-Smart exclusive, and Aikatsu Starway to the Future, which had additional bonuses).
