In regards to the 80s series release on Nov 10th:
- The video masters are from Japan, provided happily by Tezuka Productions. Therefore they are lovely and crisp and clear
- The tin box will contain a now 24 page colour booklet
- The extra DVD will contain the original episode 1 and 2 from the 80s series subtitled AND the 1st episodes of the 1960s, subtitled probably (Sly couldn't remember 100% if it was subbed or dubbed)
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!
Madman will be releasing the 1960s Atom series on DVD! There is no set date or details at this time as it is a recent announcement but i asked Sly whether it would be subbed or dubbed. That isn't decided at the moment and they obviously have to do some more research but i explained about Japan having the full set of episodes on DVD and only a handfull of the dub being available. My guess is they will go with the subtitled option however he did say they might release a bit of both subbed & dubbed. More details will come as they start work on the project.
ALSO:
For those interested they will also be releasing Kimba on DVD (yes the original series i think he said)
EDIT: AND one of the Phoenix movies (referred to as Space Fire Bird)
And that's it for your infrequent update from the one connected with the rest of the Oz anime world! ^^ Exciting news, huh? Oh but if anyone lives in Melbourne btw.... i think they are paying for a big billboard to advertise the 80s series
