Excluding that "Street Fighter" series, the rest have technically returned to CR as they were part of the fansub catalog CR had back in the day. Counting all the anime that have been in their catalog (including the fansub catalog), CR has a total of 4619 anime titles "listed" I say "listed" there are sometimes the following situation: while "Dog Days" has 3 seasons, instead of a separate page for each season, all 3 are under the "Dog Days" page.

Their old list.

For the prev. sentence, that's how I am treating the list. That is, an entry may have multiple seasons on 1 page under an umbrella series name.

I used some alphabetizing sites to come up with the 4619.

Still have the now very old US Manga DVD. Definitely an oddball title.

Gokudo looks like fun. I’ll add that to my queue along with Key The Metal Idol as I’ve been meaning to watch that one for a while as it sounds intriguing and I’m glad to see both shows are on a service that’s convenient to me.

Gokudo looks like the sort of thing I would of watched on Carton Network in the early 00s.

Definitely is a oddball title but it's all explained. I think I have this title in my collection. Liked it made me sad. But interesting premise. It's one of those little titles that gives you just enough but makes you wish that they could expand a little more. But for what it's worth like all OVAs, if you like collecting them "good" and "bad" this is one little gem to add.

(Although still makes me flash back on the old joke:
Drugstore customer: "I need a laxative, gimme that 'Philips Milk of Amnesia'."
Pharmacist: "You mean 'Mag-nesia'."
Customer: "What's the difference?"
Pharmacist: "Well, with amnesia, you don't know where you're going.....(beat pause)..."

Coming from Ranma/Maison's Kazuo Yamazaki, it's one of those "abstract" philosophical 90's features you'd get from an over-ambitious TV director who got his first independent feature break and wanted to get away from his mainstream-title typecasting--
It has the look of an impenetrably artsy Mamoru Oshii movie, but coming from the director of "Urusei Yatsura 4: Lum the Forever" also explains a lot.

(And as one of Those 90's Features, it's Discotek's rescue of the early days when that was pretty much all that US companies could license.
The fact that we still have early fans telling other new fans to watch them, just because that was all they could scrape up for rental at the time, is probably the clearest definition of Stockholm Syndrome you can get.)
