How'd you all shape up on the Asian cinema front? With the assistance of a couple of cool databases, to follow is my previous year's Asian cinema explorations (exempting titles made outside of the 2005 release year); as a word of caution, it's a bit of a juggernaut and may continue to be so if everyone else's viewing habits in any way mirror mine:

(Thailand needs to make more of its exemplary cinema available with English subs on DVD period! They're skipping OS $$$ at present)
What did everyone else see from the 2005 release year from the Asian territories? As you can see, I was a bit lax on Mainland China, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines...
("Soon to see" notes titles I either have laying around my living room on DVD I have yet to find time to watch, or titles I have on order/am expecting from the respective territories)
