Ive been wanting to watching Assassination & Veteran but me being picky the only place i know to watch it is in like 10 different section like 15 minutes each and the subs are not that great :._.:

 

Sorry, Assassination and Veteran were still aired recently, so it might take a while.

Meanwhile, there seems to be a decent subbed copy of Ode To My Father floating around and you can get the original DVD on yesasia :smile:
