About THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLOR OVA Series
Six long months have passed. The Raalgon Empire has developed a horrible new type of weapon, and Tylor has been charged with the duty of intercepting them as it is being transported. But when all that could go wrong, does go wrong, the crew members of the Soyokaze find themselves at the mercy of their enemies. As the hours tick down toward their execution, the crew wonders: Has their irresponsible captain misled them? Or is this all a part of some greater strategy?

Nice I was wondering when that one was coming out! Pretty fast! Can't wait!

[WTK]

So end of July brings the Tylor OVA Remastered set. What would August bring? In any case, if the TV series trade-in program is worth my while, I will likely do the same for the OVA as well.

[Suwako Moriya]

Ah, so it's a one month gap between the two Tylor sets. Interesting. This also likely means that my guess that Aria the Origination would be the July title is wrong.

I posted this in the TV series thread, but I'll re-post this here (where it makes more sense):

Anyone have links to screenshots comparing the original R1 OVAs with the remastered R2 OVAs? I'd like to get an idea of how much of a difference the remastering makes.

Sweet.
Speaking of the trade in offer, I hope we can send both the TV and OVA discs at the same time. I absolutely DETEST going to the post office. The thought of having to make two trips to get my discs replaced is not something you'll see on my list of top 10 things I look forward to doing. But you won't do that to me Alison......right?

[Raye]

Dont' have the OAVs but this looks like it will turn out very nice. Definitely will eventually pick it up.

[james_039]

Oh awesome! the fixed up remastered version of the OVA's coming out too!

Thank you Nozomi! Thank you!

I hope so too.

That being said, they allowed us to send back both the To Heart mono discs and Emma's mono discs (I think it was Emma...) in the same package, so I can't imagine them now allowing it here.
