"Zipang", the recent military sci-fi anime about a modern Japan Defense Force AEGIS cruiser that time slips back to the Battle of Midway, will be released by Geneon Entertainment (formally Pioneer) in the US on region 1 DVD starting in September of this year. From the looks of the preliminary announcement the first DVD will contain four episodes and a box for a msrp of $24.95. The preliminary announcement doesn't indicate if it will be both dubbed and subbed into English, but that's likely. I've seen the Japanese version of the series and own it on the Japanese region 2 DVDs. It's well animated, well acted and very well written. For a more detailed review of the series that I did, see: http://robkelk.ottawa-anime.org/primer/primer-z.html Dave Baranyi

I'm betting on Nautilus, since (iirc) she was the only US sub to get into action in the battle. Don't think Wahoo was commissioned at the time...

I'll have to put episodes 3 and 4 on some time tonight to check it out and see if they say which US sub it is... Dave Baranyi

How will I live in the meantime?
