1. Are your productions uncut ?
- No, I edit my work without promoting any lewdness
such as nudity (even partial) or paganism (polytheism) wherever possible. I don't have
any uncut versions.
|
2. Why do
you bother cutting out scenes from your work even though you know it will
decrease your sales ?
- Good question. This is because I am a
conservative Muslim and I do not
compromise my beliefs, and my production work is no exception; when you
follow the truth and way to salvation and believe in accountability, you
don't compromise anything from your belief and principles for anybody or
anything. If others do otherwise, such as other sellers who brag
about their versions containing nudity, then such people do not follow
their principles and in fact have double standards. I am not sure
how you can trust and do business with such personalities.
- As a side note, the reason why you see all these
other sites bragging about their Arabic Grendizer DVD's being "uncut" is
because my September 2002 Grendizer DVD production was the first
one on-line.
|
3. How much is
cut ? Do you have a list of what is cut ? Does it affect the
storyline ?
- Editing is very mild and many times some scenes
are replaced with other scenes without cutting anything out.
- I do not have a list of what it is edited nor
will I provide that information.
- The storyline is unaffected and remains intact
for the most part. Just read the testimonials and see what other
customers have said about my productions.
- As a side note, everyone should know that the
Force Five syndicated series was originally cut by Jim Terry
Productions to cut down time for commercial breaks. I added back
some scenes where there was no dialogue using the Japanese versions and
even added back some music that was originally taken out.
|
4. Why do you cut scenes
out that contradict your beliefs ? Don't you respect other religions ?
- I respect all people, and this respect comes in
the form of tolerating their right to practice any religion they
want. That is not the same as respecting their religion itself.
For this reason, I will not allow any of my work to promote something that
contradicts my beliefs. Again, there are many others out there who
sell Grendizer that is uncut, the choice is yours.
|
5. Why do
your productions have a faint watermark of your website on the screen ?
- Because I am getting tired of other "collectors"
taking my work and selling it as if it was their own. My old Force
Five VHS collection was put on DVD by cheapos and sold on Ebay and other
websites. My Arabic Grendizer that was done in 2002 on DVD is all
over the place on the net whether for sale or freely downloadable.
Now if people want to copy my work, others will at least know who did the
work.
|
6. Can you
help me in finding free downloads of Grendizer and other cartoons on-line ?
- I am not specifically familiar with websites that
provide such services, but I am sure if you look hard enough you will find
them.
- I can tell you that you can watch the Arabic
Grendizer on You Tube and again, what's on You Tube is my first 2002
production of the Arabic Grendizer on DVD which was uploaded without my
prior knowledge.
- I can also tell you that according to some fellow
fans, Arabic (satellite) TV stations such as Salahaddin TV and
Al-Mishkat have broadcasted my 2002
production of the Arabic Grendizer on DVD without my prior knowledge.
|
7. I already
bought the 26-episodes series of the English dubbed Force Five Grandizer
when you used to offer it,
but now you have the Arabic dubbed version (Golden Edition) with English subtitles, what is
the difference anyway ?
- This is a very good question, the English version
as mentioned in question 6 only dubs 26 episodes that were picked
between the original episodes 1-37 inclusive.
- In the Arabic version, all 74 original Japanese
episodes were dubbed entirely, so as a Grandizer fan, you can finally see
the entire series and watch it with English subtitles and understand it.
- Below is a list showing which episodes you can
watch and understand that were missed in the American English-dubbed
version.

8. Does your Golden
Edition Arabic Grendizer with English subtitles have Japanese audio as well
?
- No. It only has Arabic audio and I will not
include Japanese audio. The Arabic version is the closest out of all
foreign versions to the original Japanese version. You will be
impressed.
