The VCDs are most definitely the entire series. There are many copies for
sale in Hong Kong and they have been available for several years now. The
legality of them is not entirely clear but the Chinese subs are quite
accurate for most of the series and reasonably so for other parts. The
VCDs are I think an entirely Chinese product so there will be no English
subs or unsubbed.
The translation of episodes past 42 is what our club is doing and
scripts have been completed for episodes up to 52.
