Last summer the original Japanese version of Godzilla (no Raymond Burr, but lots of deleted-for-America content about the atomic bomb) had a limited theatrical release. I really wanted to see it but never had the opportunity. Does anyone know if it will be released on DVD? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

You can find copies on eBay. There’s either an impoted Japanese version (no sub titles), or other versions which may be of dubious quality
