Just in case anyone is confused, I believe that that Galap is referring to this posting by TyrannosaurusSergio151.

According to the Japanese Wikipedia article about the 1973 Doraemon anime, some points are: ・ Imagica (the film laboratory) and Masami Jun (one of the main staff of the 1973 Doraemon anime) have some film reels of the 1973 Doraemon anime. ・ The rights to the 1973 Doraemon anime are unclear due to the production company's being defunct. ・ The companies (such as Fujiko Productions and Shōgakukan Productions) concerned with the Doraemon franchise are reluctant for the 1973 Doraemon anime to be rerun/distributed.
The 1973 Doraemon anime is a so-called sealed work. You and your colleagues seem to try/have tried to contact Masami Jun, Imagica, Shōgakukan, Fujiko Productions and the like. Masami Jun and Imagica have some film reels of the anime, but they don't have the rights to the anime and cannot screen/distribute them. (Masami Jun once showed a few sequences of the anime to the limited members on his site, but those videos were leaked to the Internet and he got into trouble over that matter (probably with Fujiko Productions and/or Shōgakukan).) And the companies now concerned with the Doraemon franchise are reluctant for the 1973 Doraemon anime to be rerun/distributed. {Edit}: Combined serial posts. ~ Psycho 101 |

I should add to this that if your DVD player is relatively recent, it is quite likely that multi-region playback is possible. For computer playback, compatibility is certain. |

I'm curious: how recent are we talking about here? |

While there is no universally-applicable principle for determining whether one's player is region-free if it is not advertised as such, I have had good fortune with using R1 discs in branded R2 players over recent years. On the subject of fortune, there is a trend for machines to include region configuration options hidden within their firmware, presumably for factory purposes. A substantial index of models that are allegedly unlockable is available, along with instructions. (Caveat emptor, and so on.) |

BlazeDVD is a free software program you can use as a region-free DVD player on your computer. That's how I play my Japanese DVDs.

So I was watching Blue Gender, and when the credits rolled I saw listed as an executive producer Cindy Brennan Fukunaga. It seems like that that it has been forever since I last saw her name associated with anything with Funimation ― does anyone know what became of her?

interesting link, have no clue about the firmware situation and their respective players. and I only read about this last night at Anime UK News: US Region B/2 Compatible Blu-ray and DVD Imports As an owner of a number of those R1 disc sets listed (and the 2 part CB blu set from the UK) as well as a Sony BDP-S5100 set for everything except Region 1/Zone A discs, I'm curious to see what's what. |

A guy dies and a goddess tells him he can be reborn in a video game and he can take one thing with him. The goddess was making fun of the way he died so he picked her to take with him. There was a Mage that could only use one spell before she fainted, a swordswoman who was a masochist.

Hello, I got a question on VA's voice. You probably hear in various animes that a particular VA's voice is used in one character of a series is used in a different character in a different series. For example, Takehito Koyasu voiced Muu La Flaga in Gundam Seed, yet he used the same voice for Keough in Ragnarok the animation.
But its not always the case, Rie Tanaka voiced Lacus Clyne, yet when she voiced Chii in Chobits she sounds nothing like Lacus (granted this maybe due to the character being a non-human) So my question is are the VA's voice sample limited (they can only come up with one set of voice) or not (but chooses not to develop additional set because the original is what they're known for)? Thank you. |

I think it depends on the seiyuu. I've heard some that generally use the same voice no matter what character they play and others that use a range of voices for various roles.
In particular, I can think of the seiyuu, Satomi Sato, who has quite a large range of voices. She's played the tomboyish Ritsu Tainaka from K-On!, the very feminine Eru Chitanda for Hyouka, and the very gruff Nana from Golden Time. |
