Oh by the way, I think this is pretty old and probably not coming to the US.

Gosh I wish you could edit posts here, I feel so dumb doing this 3 times in a row, lol, but I checked that AnimeTokyo site, they DO have the movie, but its like $56 rofl. Thank goodness its for my b-day or I prolly wouldn't get it ^.^. I just hope the series I'm getting isn't bootleg cuz that site didn't have the series X_X.

Ok, I promise, this is the last time I'll post on this thread until someone else posts, but is the VOH movie on that Tokyo site subtitled? All it says is it's in Japanese, I don't know if it's subtitled or not, and I can't speak Japanese, X_X, so I'd rather make sure before I spend $56 on a movie only in Japanese.

Lol, the Chinese/English subs are from the series, you looked at the website with the series, this is the site with the movie, and it says nothing about subs but I don't know much about this site, I hope it has subs :O

those are legit imports, they won't carry chinese or english subs most likely

those subs I mentioned are what you usually find on bootlegs.

If it has no English subtitles why did they even bother to put the website in English? No one who speaks English would buy those if they have no subtitles, unless they spoke Japanese as well, so if that's the case why not just put the site in Japanese?

Because speaking and reading Japanese are two drastically different things. There are a lot of anime fans out there (like me) who can at least understand spoken Japanese quite well, even if they can't carry on a conversation, but are functionally illiterate; maybe a few kana and 10-20 kanji (out of the 800 that are required for literacy by the Japanese school system). Writen Japanese is also inconsistently supported by Internet tools; your browser and OS have to have the appropriate fonts installed AND support Unicode, which not everyone does yet. Otherwise it just looks like garbage text, random characters and square blocks where something doesn't parse.
