Funny. I was the one that ripped that one years ago.

I went on a nasty bender for a few weeks (around 1999, 2000) and when I woke up from it, there was this waterlogged, well-beaten box with Japanese writing all over it sitting on my doorstep. I opened it and discovered I had bought myself a present from Japan. Checked my bank statement...I had paid like $120 USD for it. Soooo....I figured I'd share it after paying such a ridiculous price, lol. Unfortunately, I lost the original quality copy, but would thank everyone else for keeping it alive out there; it's kind of surprising.

It's an awesome film, one of my favorites of all time. :)

If anyone has any more of this series, they'd be much appreciated. They don't seem to be available for puchase any more :(

The good news is you can find several more of these on this site and it's a lot more affordable than 120 bucks to be a full member. :) I have 1,2, and 3 in DVD quality and will try to rip and upload if folks are interested. I would have already but none of my computers have built in DVD drives and my external is mega slow so it is very time consuming. Also I think these may already be available elsewhere on the internet. The director pretty much had the best job ever lol.

A "nasty bender for a few weeks"!? Don't think anybody would be able to stay up that long! And work commitments? Probably a few days bender at most.

I managed to get this video direct from the Giga website around that time, so not sure what you mean by you were the one that ripped it. I'm sure others could either buy it or rip it at the time, if they wanted.

Jeez, dude....didn't mean to offend.

1. My record is 24 days without sleep. Stimulant-induced psychoses offer the best vehicle for psychonautical navigation; better than psychadelics, better than dissociatives. Want to see what your subconscious is really up to...what backgroud processes are running? Stay up for a few weeks and swing like God's own dick.

2. No work committments. I was unemployed, out on bail, rapidly burning through the last of my cash and awaiting trial and sentencing to a few years following a misunderstanding with a TX State Trooper during a previous event.

3. It's my copy. I edited and transcoded several versions for time and put them up on Maxie's, shared on Don_Des's DC hub (is that still running?), etc. That's one of them.

Anyway, I wasn't asking for a medal or any credit, really...but no one likes being called a liar. Really just commenting on how things on the net take root and live on their own...I've always found it interesting and cool.

Take care, homie.

I suspect a few people ripped and uploaded this one. Several American enthusiasts offered VHS copies on hush-hush lists in the 90s, and at least one offered the DVD in the 2000s.

Sadly, the newer series (eg, JMRD) are easy to find, but most of the older early Giga vids are now impossible to find. Not even Giga/Zeus has them in their store in Akihabara. I can kick myself for not having spent the money when they were still available, but I was just a student then :-|
