But with my luck, they'll be in Spanish or n00b, since this isn't a Japanese cartoon...
There are some American shows/movies on DVD with the option to turn on English subtitles. It doesn't have to be foreign, you know.

All I know is that I can understand King of the Hill's Boomhauer character easier than Gir.

How can you not understand Gir? Not only that, but he's the best part of the show!!!
I realize his importance, but I have a slight hearing loss in the sound frequency range of Gir's voice, and the distortion doesn't help matters...*sigh*
Lesson? Always wear earplugs when operating motorized power equipment (including motorcycles), or lose some of your hearing range over time. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Oh, ok then, that explains it. I was trying to figure out how it was possible to not understand Gir. Granted there is distortion, but there's some much worse stuff on TV. I appologize. _________________ anime is teh s uck

Q: What was it about Invader Zim that made Media Blasters decide to go after the home video license? And who in MB first brought it up?
Actually I brought Zim to John's attention [John Sirabella, President of Media Blasters]. John had watched the show with his daughter but wasn't aware of the popularity with anime fans. My friends had turned me onto Zim and when I realized the extent of the fan base I jumped on it
Q: Was Nickelodeon responsive to the idea and will they be having any input into the DVD release?
They were surprised that we had an interest and became very responsive when we showed them that a market did exist for it. Since Nick doesn't really work with the cult and fan market they were happy to give us a shot.
Q: For the release, the PR says "three double disc sets and a limited edition boxed set"... will the box set be available separately or will there be a volume w/ box option at all? And is there a price-point yet for these releases?
There will be three double disc sets. The box will be offered once all three sets are out. There will be a limited number of boxes, say either five to seven thousand (we haven't decided yet). These will be pre-order only and come with additional extras (these haven't been solidified yet). The price hasn't been set yet due to the... unusual nature of this box. We are debating two designs right now (one is a stuffed pig the other Zim's house ::pictures coming soon:, we have to figure out which is the best way to go so a lot is still up in the air.
Q: It has been mentioned that a few of the Invader Zim episodes that aired were edited from their originals by Nickelodeon. Does MB have the unedited versions of these eps and if not, is Nick willling to provide those to you?
We are trying to get the uncut episodes (we already have the unaired ones). Nick has been great about hunting down materials, it just takes some time since everything was archived in L.A.
Q: Has Media Blasters given any thought to getting the Invader Zim creators/producers/directors (Jhonen Vasquez, Steve Ressel, etc) involved with the release by way of special features, commentaries, etc.?
Again we are trying. We want everyone in the cast involved, but it's up to them. This DVD release is about giving Zim the treatment is so rightly deserves. I know that sounds cheesy, but I love Zim and want it to be done right.
Q: Lastly, if Invader Zim proves successful for Media Blasters, will you consider licensing more animated shows from Nickelodeon and/or other companies?
Definitely. It's good to have connections to companies like Nick. If the opportunity comes along we usually go for it. There are a lot of cool shows I'd like to see on DVD. But only time will tell, Hopefully Zim will be a success and perhaps... lead to something... larger ^_^ _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Spook, I hope you let me know when the box set is available for pre-order . . . man, only 5000? Competition will be fearce for that . . . . _________________ anime is teh s uck

The box will be MINE!
Zim is awesome, sadly I missed most of the episodes, so this'll be a great way to catch up. _________________ Comic | Wallpapers | Art | Music
