All new HK R3 Totoro DVDs have now been fixed. You can buy with certainty.

For those of you who don't want to bother logging into a new site, the screen caps for the new R3 look almost exactly like the Japanese R2. The only difference is that the R3 looks slightly brighter, but that could be a difference between the two people's screen-capture software. Here's one example:





Japanese Region 2






Hong Kong Region 3 Reissue

I've always been afraid of ordering the HK flick because of this? Can anybody recommend an e-tailer that is sure to carry the new copy as well as being safe and secure to order from. An english language site would be icing on the cake but then again so would Santa Claus leaving it on my door step

thanks 4 any info.

I've placed several orders at http://www.dddhouse.com, and their service and prices are not bad at all.. Their animation section is a little pricey on some titles, like Totoro.. I think it was running like 19-20 bucks last time I checked.

Anyways, this is a great place to get HKs from if you're interested in asian cinema. Also, it would be in your best interest to order at least 15 discs on your first order. The price drop they give you on shipping then, and on all future orders is dramatic.. Plus, they'll ship out large orders overnight at no additional charge.

Hope that helps

thanks. I'll pay a couple bucks more if it'll have the right copy.

Half the scans won't come up.

Yeah, the site which had the japanese screen caps seems to be down. Suffice to say, the images looked nearly identical, and the R3 are as good a quality as the R2.
