I might be wrong, but aint VS1 the Bakuhatsu Shunzen Gig.
VS5 was not released via Sony, at least thats what I think. It's called Dahlia the video and is included in the Complete II Box.
Oh and there was a reedition too, some years ago, but I think that one is out of print too.
ROFL.
Maybe.
That would actually explain why I never found Visual Shock 1?....XD
I dunno, I always thought it was a different dvd/vhs whatever....but I just checked JaME and no such thing exists.
Maybe I was hallucinating or dreamt of it.
It wouldn't be the first time it happened!
As for Visual Shock 5....yes, I know all those things you said. however, it's out of print in most sites I've looked and from which I can order and I can't even find a goddamn rip either.
(Well, I did find one back when I was in dial-up. Awful times. I don't even want to remember.)
As for the Complete II box.....I thought it was too expensive to buy as i wasn't working back then...plus, I sorta had most of the things already. It wouldn't have stopped me now but it did then as my pocket money was only 20 euro per week. ._.
I've found the VS5 DVD on ebay though I'm not sure if it's the original or a bootleg.
In the end, I'll just have to buy it even if it's a bootleg or else I don't think I'll ever watch it. o_O;
