another pointless conan special release.. I need the entire series. btw I'm surprised that some conan fans watch it dubbed.
don't get your hopes high.. there is no story here unlike Voltes/Daimos.. |

Try and vote with your wallet whenever you can. I got Creamy Mami, The Little Mermaid, Rose of Versailles, Dear Brother, Glass Mask, Princess Knight, Cutey Honey, and just about any others that came out along the way. I'm trying to show my love here, licensors... give me more ladies. The saving of Marmalade Boy and Hana Yori Dango has made me hopeful that it’s finally helping get this stuff out the door again. *crosses fingers* Pleeeeeaaaase give me Aim for the Ace. |

Banjo, I Love military Hardware focused shows. Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Super Robot Anime. Heroes protecting Earth from EEEEEvil Aliens? I Love that Storyline! Grendizer, Gaiking, Getter Robo G! Story is less important than exciting Action! My Favorite War Of The Worlds Adaption is...Marvel Comics Killraven! I did see Voltes V and Daimon Compilation Movie On tv long before Discotek got the Voltes V complete series!

Isn't there a whole copyright thing involved with the Conan the Barbarian franchise, though? That's why the series name changed to begin with. Considering that's still an active franchise, I highly doubt Discotek wants a lawsuit on their hands, especially now. |

Dang, sentai really dropped the ball on Scryed, didn't they? And I don't think we will ever get the girl who leapt through space, either.

The title change didn't make sense when Funi did it, and it still doesn't make sense 17 years later. The only thing the two series have in common is the normal everyday given name Conan. That is not enough to justify a lawsuit. Discotek proved this when they released the Conan vs Lupin crossovers with the original name couple years ago. Thus, I'm guessing it must have been a demand by TMS to use the Case Closed name. But still awesome we are finally getting more of the anime. All hail Discotek!

Discotek really seems to be on a roll! How are the quality of their blu rays? Do they stream?
I would LOVE them to pick up GiTS: SAC and bring that on Blu-ray!

Same happen with Jojo's Bizzare Adventure with stand names in English subs and dubs. |

Discotek's blu ray releases are always top notch - with a lot of extra leg work that goes into making them the definitive releases (especially when it comes to older series including as many extras as possible, old dubs, etc.). A bunch of their stuff steams on Crunchyroll, and some more will be featured on RetroCrush in the future. https://www.retrocrush.tv/ https://www.crunchyroll.com/publisher/discotek |

You guys might want to check your article again. You said that:
I'm pretty sure that Combattler V (pronounced like the letter V) wouldn't be region-blocked in its home country of Japan... In any case, it would have to explain why it is region-locked in the U.S., along with Voltes V (pronounced like the number 5), Daimos, Daltanious (the YouTube channel's spelling), and Laserion. |

Actually it is blocked in Japan, everything on that channel is and was acknowledged in the original source of that news (as seen here and here). Full list of what's blocked and where in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/toku_gami/status/1246986616553590785 |

Care to explain why every time Case Closed is brought up, you show up with this comment? I am curious to why you think it is wrong calling it "Case Closed" in English? |

Dezaki's Aim for the Ace is wonderful--and really shows the beginnings of his style he used for the second half of Rose of Versailles and Dear Brother. Speaking of... while I did get Rose of Versailles' on DVD back when it was easy to find, I didn't even know Dear Brother had a release (despite being perhaps my all time fave TV anime) until it became virtually impossible to find (I still look every so often). |
