I'm confused why these are the naming conventions...

Strange that this doesn't seem to include Fleet of Doom

Not only that, it's hard to find Fleet of Doom on home video nor streaming. Also, given that people in Japan are now becoming aware of American-modified or made for American stuff like comics, cartoons, and stuff that are based on Japanese properties and that does include Voltron, they may want to watch Voltron: Fleet of Doom, I mean why not? The Ruby-Spear Mega Man from 1994 was able to get a Japanese release many years later, and this shouldn't bar Fleet of Doom from getting a Japanese-language subtitled release. I mean I'm sure there are fans of Japan that would want to see GoLion and Dairugger XV teaming up together in an animated movie that never happened in the Japanese original, it would be quite a novelty for the Japanese if Fleet of Doom was able to get a Japanese release.

I hope this will be a new BD release but I won't be surprised if they cheap out and just do DVD like a lot of retro kids cartoons seem to be. Discotek and Animeigo seem be the only ones committed to putting out retro shows on actual BD. It should be noted the OG subbed GoLion is still on Crunchyroll.
