Very nice pick-up. I was thinking that they were likely to license this. One single boxset is a pleasant surprise for me.

I know that fans of the series will be quite happy. Good for them.

Pretty good pickup for them. Fans of this show should really be happy about this.

Seems pretty obvious for them. Nice to see it picked up, but seeing it once was enough for me, so I'll probably never get their release of it.

Oh yeah! I love Matsumoto stuff, and I can't wait for this. I hope that the set comes in a case that you can actually get the discs out of. I remember the Law of Ueki box set. That case is a nightmare. I want thin packs please.

Unlikely seeing as how for the second Fist Of The North Star series, they released all 43 episodes across 6 discs and used a case similar to Ueki's.

So once again, Discotek has acquired the license of a Toei/Funi-streamed series. Who'd a thunk it?

While I did already gave the remastered French set to my sis as a gift, this is nice to hear.

For great justice!

Hearty thanks to Discotek for licensing Shin Getter Robo Vs. Neo Getter Robo.

I'm not sure on this one. Toei shows from this era are usually pretty fun, but so far I haven't legitimately liked any of Leiji Matsumoto's shows (unless you count Yamato).

Speaking of Toei/Funi-streamed series, I really REALLY want Slam Dunk. I am always skeptical of my enjoyment of sports anime, but that show is AMAZING!
