I preordered a copy of the new DVD from Amazon and it arrived today (11/26/99). I had never seen the movie in the theater when it was first released so I had only seen the cable version and my own VHS version. My own copy of the video had scenes which were disappointingly dark, and sound which was uneven and muffled in some spots. The new director�s cut DVD is awesome!! The scenes are crystal clear and the dialogue is much cleaner. My husband and I and some friends were enjoying the movie and even some of the flaws which were left in (the gray bus and the blue baseball cap), until we discovered the worst omission possible after the �I will find you!� scene --- NO CLANNAD !! Indefensible !!! What were they thinking??
Please tell me that my DVD is damaged and it really is on the other copies that were released?? I even thought that somehow I had pressed the remote and skipped that scene--but I know the movie too well and it was hard for me to enjoy the rest of the movie knowing that song was left out of the movie completely!! ( BTW--it's still in the final credits.)
