New series DVD set

[Big Astro Fan]

Sorry, I meant to say that they show it on their sites. I did have to preorder it. I want to see all the episodes. I only saw up to episode 20, but they never showed the "Robot Hunters" and "Franken" episodes.

I think the 'no Japanese' option almost guarentees that it is edited. The only reason why they wouldn't include the Japanese (being Japanese animation) is if the original language no longer matched up with the film...because it is edited.

I'll be waiting on this one to hear how picture quality is.

Jim, Madman IS releasing the 60's series. Its listed as a coming soon title on their site. They did an almost perfect job with the 80's series collection so I am being cautiously optimistic about the release of the 60's episodes.

I'm most interested in how many episodes they can get hold of.

Danny, Thanks for the info. I'l be watching and waiting anxiously !!! : )

Update: I just checked their site and the only coming soons are more vol of the 1980. How did I miss it?

Thanks again

Yeah Doc, its going to be very interesting to see just where these 60's episodes are going to be coming from, and just how many of them there will be.
