There WILL be a v2 using the French release, and though it's not a perfect release at all, there will be a pretty big increase in quality over my previous version.

Hmm, they put a new release date on some of those DVDs, but I doubt they changed anything, the covers look exactly the same as ever...
Did you order the Taiwan editions because you wanted NTSC versions?
Assuming they are the same as before, the Taiwan Uproar In Heaven DVD is absolutely horrible... It's basically the Chinese DVD converted to NTSC very badly, with the wrong aspect ratio to boot.. Quite frankly it's unwatchable..
Some Taiwan DVDs are completely different transfers though.

I actually bought all the "chinese animation" DVD (volumes 1 to 7, only the 4 is missing) just to have them in my collection. I am not looking exactly for a NTSC version, it's more about the english subtitles. All of them are subtitled. I didn't get my order yet but if you are interested I can send you some screens ?

But after reading this thread and discovered the bad transfer and the bad subtitles, I ordered as well the french DVD of Uproar in Heaven. Apparently the french dubber of the Monkey King is quiet good.
