Since Geneon/Nelvana's dub (done with Ocean) was (visually) uncut, it'll probably be included. I too am in the party that would like a new English dub. Other than movie 2 (which kept the original names and used new Bang Zoom voices), CCS's English dub sucked. I would've liked to have seen FUNimation rescue the property and Monica Rial reprise her role from Tsubasa (which I guess is technically the same character. Sakura Tange didn't do her voice in Japanese because she was retired at that point). I'm not the biggest Rial fan, but I think she could've worked well for Sakura. She herself admits that it's a role she would love to play. Carly McKillip and Kari Wahlgren were both decent, but neither was particularly memorable. If they get the CCS TV series, they'll likely do separate releases like with Samurai Pizza Cats and Monster Rancher. |

That would be IF they get the other dub. I don't see the US cut doing too well here if that got re-released. |

Umm...NO. I like Monica Rial, but only in the right roles, and Sakura Kinimoto is not one of them. I don't know who the perfect English voice for Sakura would be, but it's not Monica Rial. ...Sorry, CCS is one of my favorite titles, so I was a little intense. 
On topic, I'm glad to see the first movie get relicensed and hope it leads to more CCS. |

It would stand a better chance if it's not the KidsWB version. The "full" Nelvana version (which covered all 70 episodes with some edits), while also panned, is far more well-received, and at least kept the basic premise of the show intact (the KidsWB version tried to turn the show into something it was not). The KidsWB version was on Pioneer's English DVDs. Bonus points if they get the Australian openings and closings, which are covers of the original Japanese themes.
You might think so, but I'm sure she'd be terrific. She HAS technically voiced the character before in Tsubasa, and she's certainly enthusiastic about it enough. Whenever I see a picture of the character, I can't help but picture it with Rial's voice. Of course the best option would be to cast a real child, however it has to be the right child. Carly McKillip just didn't have an interesting voice. Her sister Britt has a more interesting sounding voice (and more voice roles to her name), but she was probably a bit too young at the time. But as long as the show is properly available in my speaking language, I'm happy.

If the bluray release is a good upgrade, I won't mind re-buying the 1st CCS movie in the hopes that it will mean more down the road

Which only furthers the proof that nobody has the right to complain about a bad dub if it is legit entertainment. |

Thank you for that info. It's really a shame when stuff like this happens. This is a worse scenario then the 'Earthsea' deal. I guess folks might never see Lensman. Guess we'll have to hold onto our tape. |

As far as I know, the only Dynamic Productions franchise that suffered worse in translation from manga to anime than Getter Robo is Devilman; while the OVAs are very true to the source in all their horror and violence, the Devilman Toei series is more like a generic kids' superhero series with all the horror you can expect from one. I'm still buying it though. The more we support Discotek with our money with releases like that, the better chances we have with getting more shows like Getter Robo, Great Mazinger and even UFO Robo Grendizer! Plus how can you not love the TV Devilman's intro?
Of course, I'm just big into oldschool anime... |
