Some great rescues from ADV. Nadesico with the movie AND Gekigangar? Awesome. I wonder if it's the same remastered footage from the Japanese release, which was a bit manipulated looking. They basically crushed the hightones by boosting the midrange. At least on the DVD, though not as bad as the BV Macross remaster that went so far as to recolor some parts. Though the BD was a second try, if memory serves, as the DVD also suffered from an aliasing problem. As long as it still looks like a cell painted anime, it should be fine.Shame it'll probably only have the surround audio, which messes with the sound by adding new ones effects. Still, good to see it survive. If one of my all time favorites, and the ADV release looks better on VHS; I have it on both, the only gain DVD wise is the overlays are sharper, which causes them to stand out more. I never did get the overlay free version.
Also nice to see the Streamline dubs of Dirty Pair present. While inaccurate as usual with added dialog, The Movie dub is easily among their best work. I still get a kick out of it. I also don't get the hating. If you don't like the show, don't post, at least not multiple times. You honestly think these are keeping "more worthy" new shows from getting licensed, you're mistaken. I appreciate that Nozomi sees value in titles that appeal to older fans, and Nadesico and Dirty Pair are classics in the sci-fi genre. Though Flash is something of an acquired taste for some of the harder fans of Kei and Yuri. Nadesico obviously did well enough to warrant a rerelease without overlays and a pickup of it's movie way back when. If a shows good, it'll find an audience, and Right Stuf obviously thinks that. Not everyone only watches the latest and greatest. Nadesico went over spectacularly well at my anime club when it was shown, and it was pretty old news then. |

Not the case. I'll definetly pick up DP Flash. ADV's print has been OOP for over 3 years, early on in my early otaku years I skipped it because I thought it would be too much for my then naive mind still new to anime. TRSF license rescues two great ADV titles that came out in Japan the same year: 1995. This has made my day! |

Sorry, but I think it is fair for anyone to express their disappointment or their happiness. Free speech, right?
I don't think anyone ever said that. I'm just looking at my collection. My Nadesico and Gasaraki boxes are there and they are still in really good shape! It makes it kind of hard to get really excited over the new editions, especially when money is kind of an issue. An earlier poster mentioned Maison Ikkoku. I probably would have gotten really excited over that announcement. Some people, not so much. But I would never tell them they couldn't post about their disappointment. |

OMG YES Gekigangar! While its just a short little movie, I would love to see a non crappy version of it. And Nadesico, if the Blu Ray is available, the quality of those are pretty darn good. I thought it would be Macross, but this stuff is just as good. Might just have to reup for this one, just like I did for Utena. That signet ring is calling me.......

Nadesico is a maybe. It'll be good to see a complete collection of this one back in the market.

Heh I'll be double-dipping on DP Flash since I've got ADVs old VHS tapes and I doubt I'll have a VHS player much longer once this dual DVD-VHS player eventually goes lol. |

I'm with you there, friend! The OOP Animeigo release is soooo expensive and not really a great release. Many of the TV series discs have the opening and closing credits omitted. The OVA release is OK, but still rather pricey. The only thing KOR that you can get cheap is the "Summer's Beginning" movie. |

Wow, we haven't shown the club these titles in over a decade!
It's like Turner Classic Movies!

I own Kimagure Orange Road on DVD, but I like it enough that I'd probably buy it again if Nozomi released a remastered version. Also, thanks for reminding me that I still need to pick up the "Summer's Beginning" movie at some point.
Dirty Pair I've been tenuous on (kinda want to get it, not sure if I'd like it), but I'm not fond enough of either Nadesico or Gasaraki to pick them up. Gasaraki especially leaves me scratching my head, thinking "there were that many people who really were interested in getting this?" Nadesico is a classic license, though, so I can definitely see the sense in releasing it. I'm sure it'll find enough buyers to be worthwhile, especially if Nozomi treats it as nicely as they did with the Utena license. Though, I've still got Victorian Romance Emma in my to-purchase queue, so when the double-pack set comes out, I'll pick that one up. |

Count me among the disappointed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Gasaraki and Nadesico still relatively easy to find? Definitely not as exciting as last year's announcements of the Utena re-license and picking up a never-released before show, Sound of the Sky.

Serious question:
Will the Nadescio include the God-tier, ham filled dub? I, for one, love Spike Spencer as Akito. Also; Gekiganger? Subbed or dubbed? GLORIOUS DAY IS GLORIOUS! |

Well If they released all of Dirty Pair it must have done well enough to warrant the rescue of the OVA series and the best move of the collection Project EDEN. So yes I would have to say they do. Discotek business model in part all they do is release older show and I love Nozomi and Discotek for doing this as many of the stuff I love and many others that I know do too.

I'd like of like to see if Distotek or Nozomi start picking up tons of other older anime that have had remasters or even BD releases. Like Riding Bean, Bubblegum Crisis, Cleopatra DC, Windaria, Genmu Senki Leda.

Dennou Coil has been licensed in australia (and the first boxset is coming out in September, I assume this year) and The Tatami Galaxy is licensed and released in australia and licensed in the u.k. though there's no news on when it's coming out yet, so if you have a multi-region player then that's an option. I would love to own Kimagure Orange Road and all of Cardcaptor Sakura on DVD. I really enjoyed both Nadesico (the TV series, I thought the movie was terrible) and Gasaraki, I'll have to get round to rewatching them at some point so that I can see whether any of the discs have problems, in which case I'd buy the rerelease of the show in question. It would also be nice to have the Gekiganger 3 OVA. |

Yes, because Flash has zero fans, right? 
I actually like Flash better, so I'm definitely double dipping. And I know I'm not the only one. Those old ADV dvds look awful. |
