Oh lord sweet Jesus good news. Facets (who never bothered to let me know) have recently released Kazuo Hara's landmark Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (1987). The DVD is limited in featuers, but I was told from an insider that there might be a future newer edition. The point is this film which was unavailable in any format in this country is now finally available on DVD.

Unfortunately all copies of the DVD were checked out, so I'm yet to be able to comment on the quality of the transfer.
