Geez, I go to bed and then wake up to old-school dub bashing. Hilarious. (And I'm not being sarcastic here, though I do find it annoying my post devolved into squee-hashing.)

Of course, it just means more Princess Knight for me! And it's fun to watch people go on about conspiracy theories.

It's a fact that making a subbed release would make Right Stuf less money out of the whole deal.

As for my second theory, at least there's only a very short time left to wait before I can be proven right or wrong.

Sweet! And actually I heard a few old school anime are getting released lately. Heck, Discotek (who you may or may not know released both the Unico movies this year) is even releasing the original Cutie Honey anime next year! I have alot to look foreward to next year, release of Cutie Honey and Princess Knight, release of the Twin Knight manga, and the new Sailor Moon remake (it's going to be a worldwide release)! I just hope the world doesn't end before then. Then I'd be ticked.

Yes. Vertical, who released the original Princess Knight series, is apparently releasing Twin Knight. At least that's what I read at the begining of this thread.

Actually, I remember seeing it on ANN a few weeks ago. I guess I just forgot about it because Tezuka manga gets licensed all the time by vertical, but Tezuka anime series aren't usually licensed as often.

Right Stuf Schedules Release for Classic Shoujo Anime "Princess Knight"

Anime producer and distributor Right Stuf, Inc. and its Nozomi Entertainment division have announced that Princess Knight, Part 1 DVD set will be available on June 4, 2013. The set will feature the first 26 episodes of the shoujo classic television series, with its original English-language dub, as well as a Spanish-language audio option. This will be the first time the Princess Knight series will be available to North American audiences on licensed DVD.

Due to the availability of materials, these DVD releases will utilize the edited and cut, broadcast video footage from Princess Knight’s television syndication during the 1960s and 1970s. (Japanese audio will not be included on these sets because it cannot be synched to the video.)

Also known as “Choppy and the Princess,” the 52-episode anime adaptation of Princess Knight is based the seminal manga by legendary creator Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Kimba The White Lion) and features animation from Tezuka’s own Mushi Productions. It originally aired on Japanese television from 1967 through 1968, and its English-language adaptation was syndicated throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.

In both anime and manga forms, Princess Knight was among the first titles geared specifically toward a young female (shoujo) audience.

Visit princess-knight.rightstuf.com for more information about the series and to pre-order the DVD sets.

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I thought I should share this. It caught my attention while surfing the internet. Take from it what you will.

The lack of a Japanese version of Princess Knights is certainly disappointing, no doubt about that, but the least we should appreciate the fact that Right Stuffs did what they could to find Princess Knights in English dubs for the fans. Beside, heavy cuts to anime back then were pretty much inevitable and we're lucky that Right Stuffs managed to save the show.
