Mobile Suit Gundam

[R.I.P.Neardawg1979]

Does anybody know where I can get original Mobile Suit Gundam bilingual DVDs? And I don't want to order from a Hong Kong website. Nothing good comes from HK, just illegal bootlegs and bad fansubs.

There is no legal sub release of MSG at this time. The only DVDs availble are English dub only.

I had a feeling that was the case, thanks.

If your looking for subs, then go for Box set of the three gundam movies, they cover the seires pretty well

But if your looking for Dubs then look for seires dvds there are 10 of them

But there are no bilingual dvds that I know of, I might be wrong  

A good place to find this stuff is at Media Play, the cost isnt cheap but aint bad either and you'll have a good chance of finding it

I saw the movie box set, but I didn't buy it because I couldn't tell if it was bilingual. If it is I think I'll pick it up. But I want to see the whole series. There's a lot of the story that I haven't seen since AS stopped showing it, and the books I've read aren't enough.

The DVDs of the MSG movies are only in Japanese with English subtitles. The DVDs of the TV series are all English dubbed only.

The reason the American release of MSG doesn't contain a Japanese language track is that when Bandai acquired the licence from Sunrise, they weren't allowed to distribute the Japanese language track because the MSG DVDs had not yet been released in Japan.

I do hear that the movies do a really good job of condensing the entire 43 episode TV series into 3 2 1/2 hour movies.
