Re: Discotek Discussion Thread

Meh, not really interested in the LA series, but glad to get abit more info on Lupin III, $59.95..whooo..thats abit steep for me, but it'll probably be cheaper then that at Amazon &/or Hastings, so still deffinantly picking it up when it comes out this Summer. Ol Lupin needs all the love he can get, seriously, series is way underrated in the state IMO...who cares if its old, its good.

Discotek license-rescues Casshan: Robot Hunter!

ANN wrote:
The North American video distributor Discotek Media revealed on Monday that it licensed the 1993 Casshan: Robot Hunter original video anime (OVA) series. The four-part project remakes Tatsunoko's classic 1973-1974 Shinzo Ningen Casshan television anime series. The story follows a cyborg who rises against the robotic armies that have subjugated all of humanity.

Discotek plans to release all four episodes with English subtitles and dubbing later this year. Streamline Pictures and ADV Films both released this 1993 remake in North America in the past.

The same story was also remade as a 2004 live-action film by Kazuaki Kiriya, and as the 2008 Casshern Sins television anime series by the studio MADHOUSE. Dreamworks' Go Fish Pictures division released the 2004 live-action film version, and Funimation released Casshern Sins.

And i didn't think i would need a reason to buy Casshern Sins for a third time.

Good job Discotek! cool

The North American video distributor Discotek Media revealed on Monday that it will be releasing the entire Samurai Pizza Cats (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee) anime series on home video. According to the post, the company will be selling separate subtitled and dubbed releases of the series via box sets — 52 episodes total for the dubbed release and 54 for the subtitled edition — with pricing and number of boxsets yet to be determined.

The 1990-91 Tatsunoko "science-fiction historical gag battle anime" revolves arouund Nyankii (Samurai Pizza Cats), a secret ninja team that protects the robotic animal inhabitants of Edoropolis (Little Tokyo) from the evil ninja organization Karakara. Saban Entertainment licensed and released the series on television in the United States.

March is now my favorite month of the year and i'll be looking forward to all this greatness. cool

Haven't watched the dub since it's TV run on WB but i remember liking it so i'll gladly buy both sub & dub releases.

When did that happen? woot
It was a Fox Kids series. The WB didn't exist when SPC first came out.

Oh hey, Casshan OVA. Now all we need is the Gatchaman OVA to increase the Umetsu goodness. cool

I don't remember the year exactly but it ran on WPIX channel 11 (which was WB & now CW/PIX) over here on weekday afternoons and i remember watching it during Summer break. VR Troopers (another Saban series) ran on the same network as well.

Edit: Someone posted a list of networks it ran on.
