I finally broke down & bought this from eBay. I was just tired of watching the raw Japanese, & had no enthusiasm about the few dubbed episodes released by WB.
I was going to buy from discountanimedvd.com, but did not want to create another account with another vendor with another user name, password, & needing to fill out all that info. So, already having an eBay account, I bought from a seller there.
So, anyway I found some defects in the links (what else would I call these?) On the first disc, if I try to NEXT CHAPTER past the opening credits, no matter which episode should be on, the thing goes back to the first episode.
On discs 2 & 3, after the opening credits, the thing went & played the very episode that had just been on (the one that just finished). I need to try it with a different DVD drive or application, to see if this is just a quirk that acts up with Power DVD. I could not even get it to play Starblazers 1 disc 3. It crashed every time, but no problem using ATI DVD player. So, I am wondering if it could be a problem that occurs only with this combination of discs & player.
Other than that, the hubs would not lock on the discs after a few times. :angry:
But being able to see & understand (within the limits of the poor subtitles) was well worth it. Still, if they ever release an official version that is not the lousy butchered KWB piece of trash, I suppose I will get that too.

Can hardly wait to see the time travel ep! I watched all 50, but in Japanese without subtitles.
