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?

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 guarantee you that Scarlet Bond does in fact have English subs.

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.

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.

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.

 

[ActionFaust]

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.

 

[ActionFaust]

If the mods could merge this one into the other thread, it could be great, if ActionFaust doesn’t mind

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.

 

[ActionFaust]

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…

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.

 

[Geriatric hedgehog]

Thanks for the suggestions guys and very good to know about the second hand market on Mandrake.

 

[Buzzkillington]

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.

 

[Vincentdante]

Subscribed to this one too

@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.

 

[Rui]

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!

[Onosume]

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).

 

[Onosume]

Also, pinching this from Grav's Gundam thread:

The following have English dub and subtitles support:

Mobile Suit Gundam NT (Narrative)
Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin
Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower
Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

The following have English subtitles support:

Gundam: Reconguista in G: Movie 1
Gundam: Reconguista in G: Movie 2
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny

The following titles (which have English support) are part of the U.C. re-release collection:

Mobile Suit Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - Afterglow of Zeon
Mobile Suit Gundam F-91
Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ - Box 1
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ - Box 2
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team
Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team - Miller's Report
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Movie Trilogy
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam - Box 1
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam - Box 2
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - Box 1
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam - Box 2
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation

I've not watched them yet but I assume the other Reconguista in G movies also have English subs.

 

[Blaize]

Rahxephone BD Box has english dub and sub support for the series and the film. Last Exile BD Box has the English dub,

 

[Relaxo]

Rahxephone BD Box has english dub and sub support for the series and the film. Last Exile BD Box has the English dub,

Just to clarify: Last Exile is missing the English sub, right?

 

[ActionFaust]

Made another update to list and included a new table for rare cases like Last Exile which lack the sub but include the dub. That's a lot of Gundam

 

[Stiivun]

Will check my Japanese releases next week when I’m back home. According to blu-ray.com I have 92 of Japanese releases.
