Yeah i don't count them either.
Oh it's in conjunction with Part 6. When you said it, I thought Discotek was doing it. It's weird that they list the Japanese cast then Tony Oliver, as I'm sure part 1 ep1 had Fujiko in it.

OK guys. You're telling me that an anime TV series from 1978 is getting an English dub now!?! In 2021?! I can't believe it. Why didn't it get a dub then? I'm just so shocked by this,I'm unable to fathom something like this.  Another good question to ask is that are there any other old anime that going to get an English dub that are going to stun me because I just can't believe I read this. It's just too incredible for words.

As to why it wasn’t released then a quick look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anime_distributed_in_the_United_States shows that very little anime was actually dubbed into English at that time.

Buying this regular blu-ray but would have easily bought a 4K blu-ray for this too.
Looking forward to finally seeing this.

Gunbuster might never been dubbed in other languages besides Japanese (only seeing official subs for each languages overseas) so it may be the longest gap (33 years) for an anime without having any dubs.

- It took Sailor Moon Sailor Stars 23 years to finally be released with an English dub.
- Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy was released with an English dub after 22 years.
- As mentioned elsewhere, Gunbuster is being dubbed after 33+ years.
- Saint Seiya finally got a complete English dub in 2019-2020 after almost 35 years.
- Lupin III Part 1 is apparently being dubbed in English after 50 years.

Well,as I read through everyone's reaction to what I said,yeah,there are a bunch of old anime like the 1970's "Lupin III" TV show and the "Gunbuster" OVA that are getting English dubs. In many of their cases,they're long overdue,because for whatever reason,they never got them. Whether it be that they never got here when they were first came out or whatever other reason like that,it's pretty interesting to see.
For someone like me,I don't really have a problem with it. I think that it's a good thing this is happening and I hope it continues. What other old anime will be next? I don't know but I like this and it may help draw attention to shows that might not have gotten it otherwise.
