You can import the japanese versions from japan, check out places like www.cdjapan.com to find it. Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg though, if I remember right its something like 55 bucks per dvd. This isn't including shipping or anything also. There are 7 DvDs total, each containing 2 episodes. You will also need to have a DvD player caple of playing Region 2 DvDs. Also, these probably wont have english subtitles, and they for sure wont have english dialogue.

As for anything in english, the series is not liscensed in the states atm. Also, while there were alot of people who liked it here in the states, I don't believe there is any plans to release it in the states.

Why? Well I don't think it was to much of a hit in japan. Its also based of a h-game. To liscenes the series they would have to liscense the game probably also. The reason this could be a problem, is because not all the characters are of legal age in the game. I'm not sure of this, because I don't have it. I'm also not too sure of legal complications, however I wouldn't be suprised if their were.

Edit: bleh cad beat me to it

My god 2 episodes per DVD!? and $55 per DVD?

Damn and people bitch here about prices..

I also didnt know there was anything about the characters being underage..

A lot of characters in a lot of h-games look underage.. or atleast REALLY young.. There really is no defining line though.. You can draw whatever you want and call it 18.. LoL

You've gotta love the captions on the h-game sites "all of our characters are 18 or older"

[Bonehead (#82449)]

Alright thanks, too bad I don't have a ton of cash lying around

[Cynor (#76639)]

Well Cadd, I said there may be. While it is a very grey line, and some could even argue drawn characters have no age, I do believe Haruka was like 16 at the begining. Its been awhile since I looked at a char page though.

Edit: Oh, and Cadd I can't decide if you were being sarcastic or shocked about the price heh. Anyways, back when I first saw this series I looked into that. Needless to say I was pretty shocked.

Each DvD is 5500 Yen, which is about 50bucks actually. However, like I said, each contains two episodes. 14 Episodes in total, for 7 Discs.

Disc 1 all prices are the same as disc 1.

[Caddberry (#27690)]

I was shocked about the price.. Really.. That wasnt sarcasm..

[Cynor (#76639)]

Thats what I was thinking, but online its so hard to tell sometimes. I know the feeling though, thats something around 3 box sets BEFORE shipping. Assuming the set is around 100 bucks.

KGNE has been licensed for sale in Singapore by Odex. Boxed set available for SGD$29.90. If you can find a friend who can get it for you and mail it over, that should not pose any copyright problems. It IS a licensed copy. But mind you, it's on Video CD format only, not DVD. If you've got a multi-player (DVD/VCD/CD-R/CD-RW) then you'll have no problems playing it. It's subbed so you don't have to put up with generally annoying dub voices.

[Cynor (#76639)]

Do you know if the subtitles are english? I'm not very familar with which nations speak what lol. It seems kind of cheap though, depending on conversion rates, but its liscensed eh? If someone still had the fansubs, they could probably get better quality by burning those to DvD tough. Of course, getting your hands on said subs would be near impossible now since Age (I think Age is the company who makes this) stopped all fansubbing and asked to have all the current ones removed.

[Cynor (#76639)]

I think the footage your thinking of is the bonus ending or something.

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

[Cynor (#76639)]

I hear its just like an extended ending based on the game's storyline or something... It shouldn't make that much a difference, except to the hardcore fan.

[SuperRad (#83241)]

I found one on ebay from Hong Kong, it has all the little c's and stuff, so I think it's legit. But the subtitles are horrible. Wrong tenses everywhere, some episodes don't even make sense if you haven't already seen the series. So in other words, stay away from a two disc set out of Hong Kong.

If I remember from my OST, the intro is called Rumbling Hearts. Its actually one of the 2 or 3 songs listed with an ENGLISH title on the OST I have.

Personally, I hope if it ever does get liscensed over here in the states they keep the Japanese name, and not use the rough translation: The Enternity You Wish For.

Edit: So I pulled out my OST to check, Rumbling Hearts doesn't actually seem to be the opening of theme, it is VERY close though. The opening lyrics are different. The style, if you will, seems to be the same though, fast paced with the, I guess, pop style.

It is very close though.
