A whole heap of them posted over at KFC, so I will pick the ones out here that stand out and shove the rest of the list in below. Hideo Gosha's 'Goyokin' shifts slightly to February 28th 2006, 'Rinjin 13' (aka 'Neighbour no.13') is March 14th 2006, first of their Sasori / Meiko Kaji release is 'Scorpion : Beast Stable' on March 28th 2006, the long-lost 'Riki-oh' anime (i.e 'Story of Ricky' anime) is April 11th 2006, April 25th gives us the other Sasori / Meiko Kaji 'Scorpion : Grudge Song' and 'Bushinsaba', 'One Missed Call 2' is May 16th, 'Yaji and Kita' is June 13th 2006, as is the early Takashi Miike film 'Silver', 'Art of the Devil 2' and 'Death Trance' make it on June 27th. Looks like they've added 'Cromartie' to their licenses, no date set for it yet though, neither is their one for Miike's 'The Great Yokai War'. Shed loads of more titles down below too.

I thought Scorpion: Beast Stable was being released tomorrow (2/14) and was a bit psyched for it. Between Beast Stable being delayed over a month and (Razor Digital's release of) Raise the Red Lantern reportedly having a terrible video transfer, this has been a very disappointing week for new DVD releases.
Death Trance is on the list but Versus the Ultimate Edition isn't...Really weird!!!
Dammit!! I pre-ordered "Raise the Red Lantern" last week hoping for a reasonably decent release :( Is Razor Digital trying to compete with Facets in the "Crappiest-Quality DVD Releases" category? Re-master the damn thing and charge me five more bucks for it.
Convent of Sinners!! AWESOME!!!
