Questions about Bandai's LE 1.

[ctrl-a.livejournal.com]

I have a few questions about the extras that come with the Limited Edition of Part 1. I looked through the comm archives, but I couldn't find any information after the release, so I'd like to confirm the initial rumors before I buy. Thanks in advance!

Thank you again! In case others are interested, I added the answers to the post:

1. What language are the Sound Episodes in? I gather that originally it was announced that it would be in Japanese, but later that it would be dubbed. So is it dub-only? Yes, dub only.

2. Does Part 1 come with what in Japan was both Sound Episodes I and II? (Since there will only be 3 LE releases, and there were 6 Sound Episodes in Japan, how are they going to fit them all otherwise?) Yes, it has the sound dramas from Sound Episodes 1 and 2, 6 stages total.

3. I read somewhere that they ditched the image songs. Is that true? Yes. :(

4. Is the OST substantially the same as the Japanese release? Any songs missing? They're the same.

Thanks so much! You pretty much answered all my questions.

For the Sound Episodes, in Japan there were 3 stages per disc, for a total of 6 discs. So that's what I meant by whether they would could fit all 6 Sound Episodes in 3 LE releases. Also, each Sound Episode in Japan came with an image song, which is a song sung by a character's voice actor and kind of reflecting their personality. The characters in season 1 were C.C., Lelouch, Shirley, Kallen, Milly, and Nunnally. I like them, but I guess I'm not surprised they're not included in the Bandai release.

The OST sounds like it's the same. The Japanese OST also only has 22 tracks, with a TV version of the ALI PROJECT song and no version of COLOURS.
