A quality Logboy find here ...
Can't wait for the US release of Steamboy? Looks like you won't have to ... the French DVD releases April 6th - in three varieties - and according to this thread on the DVDetective forum it will be the full director's cut - i.e. not the trimmed, subbed version - and will include English subtitles. The sets are a bit pricey by local standards but dirt cheap next to the Japanese releases ...
a poster in that forum now says a review of the disc went online today and it DOESNT now have english subs... a licensing issue no doubt... false alarm everyone : cross those fingers again and keep waiting...
