Steamboy. R2 UK Subtitled DVD. June 6th 2005. 2 Editions.

Must go over to play.com a traul through the upcoming DVD lists, as even though it will take hours, there must be some more gems stuck in there. First spot this morning : right at the top of the upcoming Anime releases is 'Steamboy'. After the disappointment of finding the French R2 release, initially said to contain English Subtitles, i feel a little better knowing that this R2 UK disc is likely to be the first Subbed disc anywhere - that we know of at this point anyway.

There seems to be two different editions : a bog-standard, and a special edition (the one labelled at the Director Cut of the film). So, this goes on my preorder list, and is unlikely to be surpassed by a fast USA R1 release.
