Oh well, I guess no upgrading for me from the Geneon release. Thanks for looking into it.

For Vandread, we used the DVD masters provided by Geneon, so no post-production work was done on our end. We have normal subtitles on this release, but anything painted onto the video was inherent in the source materials we received.

I have spoken with the Vandread team and they are looking for an answer to your question.

@Rojas
Vandread — along with Gate Keepers, Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses, & Ah! My Goddess the Movie — were some of the last series Pioneer released with hardsubbed sign translations on the actual video. A good example would be the men’s rally in the first episode of Vandread (01:42 through 02:35).

“The Empire’s Center Recommends”
“Man’s Enemy a.k.a. The Empire’s Enemy”
“Destruction”
“Oppression”
“The time has come for the Empire to regain its prestige!”

After this period, Pioneer finally switched to using softsubs (a.k.a. signs-only subtitle track) for translating any Japanese text during a show.

We do have the OVAs Vandread Turbulence (Gekitouhen) & Integral (Taidouhen) but I don’t have any information on how and when they will be released. I’m not quite sure what the rest of your question is asking (I’m not very technical on those aspects). If you want to elaborate, let me know.

ErgoProxy makes me happy, I’ve seen most of the series via the libaray but only own the first volume/OST combo. That series needs waaaay more love.

….I was this close to getting the first season of Black Lagoon on Sat, but ended up going with the Viridian for Fruits Basket.

So……… how much of Vandread has anyone advertising it actually watched? Cuz it is TOTALLY not just sci-fi/fanservice/mechs/boobs/or school!! (I don’t think anyone in this series even goes to school.)

It’s almost like calling Fullmetal Panic guns/mechs/and boobs…. there is more to this show than just fanservice and mechs… T_T

As a hardcore fangirl of this series, I am quite disappointed with the advertising so far.

BUT!! Loving the fact that the boxset has both seasons!! I was wondering if it had both! >w<
