I've read that they are just releasing Shogun Assassin. However, word is that it'll be released in a 5 disc set (unconfirmed, AFAIK).

So that'll probably mean the SA sequels, ie. lonewolf & cub 3-6 with English dubs.

Personally, I'm happy enough to just go with the Eureka dvd set.

And a lovely boxset it is too.Eureka have given UK fans a real treat.There's a comparison over at dvdbeaver between the Artsmagic dvds and the Eureka set.The difference is staggering.

Just to add that the Eureka Shogun Assassin uses the same transfer as the digitally restored AnimEigo disc. So it looks great.

The Eureka also has the slight added bonus of not subtitling the 3 seconds of unrestored footage.

I wasn't sure if Eureka used the same transfer as the AnimEigo disc.when it said the AnimEigo was a rebuild using the same transfers supplied for the the other films by toho,i would have thought that SA would look as good as the other films? it doesn't.

[Rob Strange]

Yeah - not sure what happened there either.

I have finally been able to order this today!!!! I now cant wait to watch all of them and be able to see the night scenes and not just a blurry dark mess.
