PockyBox, don't misinterpret. The full length Japanese cut of the movie and the American cut are targeted at viewers of the same age range. The cuts in the American version are more for running time than content. But the cuts in the American version do change the feel of the film and do make an already dumb film feel even more stupid. I understand perfectly not wanting to support the edited American cut. I just want to clear up any misunderstanding. The film's American producers did say that they planned an eventual American release of the Director's Cut (which I personally think of as the "complete cut") but it's been a long while with no announcement. And, as Gats said, we've still never gotten that Japanese language version of Bloodlust that Urban Vision promised years ago. I did mention I’m a pretty devoted Highlander fan.

And yeah, I'm hopin' Manga will keep its promise about the new version. But then it doesn't exactly have anything else. Of course, that's what people said about UV, and we still don't have the VHD BL DC. Man, you really went all IMDB on the DC. And yeah, I’m hopin’ Manga will keep its promise about the new version.

It seems like a slap to the face for both anime and Highlander fans. Any chance we'll see a real release in the states? Thanks for the warning, John. I will not be spending my money on this editted product.
