Live Action of Go Nagai's 'Cutie Honey' (2004) Gets R4 Aus DVD February 7th 2007.

Don't ask me about the film, beyond it being a variation on one of Go Nagai's characters, all I know is condensed into these few words : people were gagging to see this one... a couple of years back.

Well, companies can't always act as dynamically as we would like (well, they look dynamic by accident more than intention most of the time), but they also don't seem to follow the online mood which gives pointers to interesting stuff because of various reasons - many of which are likely out of their hands, like excessive licensing costs and the like.

In step the eBay sellers with ultra-high ratings selling Region 0 Custom DVDs year-after-year without being stopped. Kind of torn over that whole thing, kind of abandoned eBay years ago anyway because it's a distraction, but because the market size is never clear for such films, and some stuff I've seen in listings simply hasn't appeared to have caused that initial scramble that's likely from any given company with interest.

Still struggle to believe that lessons from Piracy 101 have yet to be learnt. Yes, they may take their time to reveal their licensing choices, but they do tend to jump onto things rather than sift back through the broader range of possibilities, so I wouldn't have guessed this one would turn up in a country that largely seems to be lagging behind in contemporary choices and not throwing up that many older things either... stranger things have happened.
