So I was elated to see the news this morning that Section23 films is releasing Gatchaman II Finally! ...on DVD only...that has me a bit disappointed. I normally will not double-dip up scaling from DVD to Blu Ray but I did for Gatchaman because...ADV films version was spread across 27 DVD's! (9 box sets, though only 18 were the series and 9 were bonus content). When I saw that Seciton 23 had everything the ADV films version had (English dub, all bonus content AND the 1994 3 part OVA...all compacted into only 3 Blu Ray cases on 14 BRD) this was a no brainer. It saved me a ton of space!
However with GMII...I don't know why they don't just start out with the Blu Ray? I've e-mailed them to ask if it is on their slate for the future, if so I will hold off especially since I have a nice fan-subbed version on my computer already, but I want to support an official release.
Also...I'd love for there to be a complete release of Battle of the Planets. I have all the mish-mash DVD's Rhino released way back when, but it only ends up being about half the episodes, and not even all in order. A Complete set was released in the UK quite some time ago. Hopefully we will see a complete set stateside someday.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
