I wasn't quite sure about Big O last time I watched a bit of it, but I do like what it was trying to do, so I should probably give it another try.

Really happy to see Overman King Gainer get picked up - it's been long out of print and expensive even while Bandai Entertainment was still around, which was killing me since it's a show I often want to recommend to people. It's fun!

Before the update I was thinking, "One thing we won't see getting picked up is Brain Powered..." But, it does seem like I can never predict how people will react to that show, so it's cool to see it out there again. I kept changing my mind as it went on, but ultimately warmed to it. I don't suppose that ever got a Blu-Rays?


Agreed on King Gainer.

Had the same fluctuating reaction to Brain Powered, might use this as an excuse to re-watch it. Smile

I hope they release the Blu-ray for Big-O 1 & 2. I'd that and S-Cry-Ed. Did I miss it or no one got Planetes?

I think Big O is due for a revisit for a lot of anime fans. I'm glad that Sentai has acquired the license for it, and I really wish they would release a BD (the screencaps I've seen of the Japanese BDs look great).

As a *massive* fan of Big O, this is great news.

It's been a while since the Japanese set was released, so I don't see any reason why Sunrise wouldn't allow them to put it on BD.

I'm hopeful here as well. Although I'll hold off getting excited until it's actually confirmed. The Japanese companies have always been unpredictable when it comes to BDs.

Man, I think Sentai won this time for me.

I'm going to be broke. Laughing

I would be surprised by a dub. I was surprised that Bandai managed to get the last disk of the series out before closing their doors.

With all the Bandai license rescues, I had hoped that Sentai would pick up Turn-A Gundam (I doubt sales of it would support a dub --- which, if I'm correct in that, rules out Funimation picking it up).

^ You never know. Sentai produces dubs for so much of their stuff, minus their really obscure titles (and there are lots of 'em). Plus Turn A isn't terribly long. If Sentai can dub all of Golgo 13, they can dub that. Razz

I wish Big O could get a BD remaster, I'd double dip and buy that immediately.

Considering it already has a Blu-ray version, that might've already happened.

[EDIT: Fixed your tags and used the correct spelling of "Blu-ray." -TK]

Welp, there goes the market for the Gainer singles. Guess they didn't want anything to compete with the Dunbine ones for most ridiculous aftermarket prices.
