I actually bought the HK just for the cover AFTER buying the R1 because I wanted that beautiful art that is used. Another thing that pissed me off was that they were closed captioned, not subtitled. So I had to watch the movie with the " [Helicopter approacing] and [Distant Footsteps]" the entire movie.
That pissed me off too. More than anything else, that irritated the crap outta me. I heard that it wasn't dubbed because the Japanese director didn't want it to be dubbed, he wanted to keep it in its originaly form - which I think he should be slapped for. The box art isn't that horrid though, but it could be 100x better.
I bought the dvd without even knowing there was no dub. =/ Just saw it at best buy, had $30 in my wallet and bought it. First thing I was pissed about is they didn't even take the time to include an insert. When I loaded up the closed captioning subtitles I wanted my damn money back. The anime is pretty good - but there is no excuse for such a shitty release.
