I just got Gamera and Gamera vs Barugon (my Showa favorite!)
And they're in Japanese and they got commentary and booklets on the movies!
Now this is more like it! Okay Gamera was the pale imitation of Godzilla and-oh snap I just put in Gamera vs Barugon and the play menu is very good!
G. vs B. is the best Showa, Barugon is no Gyaos but it's got the best atmosphere and needs more love. And it did set up the formula of 'monster beats Gamera, military tries a few plans, then Gamera kills the monster.' And no kids!
I already pre-ordered the next few sets where it looks like they will be two for one sets, hopefully the extras aren't cut down.
Update: okay the transfer is REALLY damn clean for Barugon and it's in wide screen! This is awesome everyone should buy these who like Gamera. I really appreciate the sets much better now. Oh and the island dancing girls look very good with this new transfer!
