The North American home video distributor Discotek announced through its Facebook page that it will be releasing the entire Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon on DVD. A single collection of all 27 episodes are due to hit retail in early 2014.
The series hasn't seen a proper DVD release since 2002. ADV Films attempted a two volume reprint back in 2008/2009. However, only the first volume managed to release before the company was shuttered. Fortunately, Discotek is here to pick up the pieces. So yeah; great news if you're a fan of this quirky interpretation.
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for preorders. Stay tuned!
This show is more twisted than a car wreck!
ReplyDeletehaha this guy...
DeleteHey, nice. :) Hopefully this time around there'll be some actual special features (concept art would be good).
ReplyDeleteOh good, but i have already the old DVD, but it was a funny cartoon, now really an anime with a good story, but it's cool anyways (and yeah, some robotmasters are """"special""" in this anime), it can be cool for some childrens I think.
ReplyDeleteThe story is not complex, it's a simple anime but it's a good thing to see that.
An anime with Rockman manga megamix/gigamix can be wonderful *____*
It's better than a Bad Art Box Cartoon :p
The whole show was released on two DVD box sets one time, which is where I got them all. But nice to see it re-released in its entirety!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The second volume is actually pretty expensive so it'll be nice to have a cheaper alternative to own the whole show!
ReplyDeletePlus it's always nice to see this version of Mega Man get some attention!
I thought the second volume was released. In fact I just checked and I have it
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to the '09 volume? Gosh; I even got a cancellation notice from Amazon way back. You sure?
DeleteI'm with Protodude on this one.
DeleteI think you might be thinking of the bulky older DVD sets...
Anyways, we need to help all the company or things who want help us to make megaman known by all the people!
ReplyDeleteMegaman cartoon is A SIMPLE CARTOON, more like bugs bunny cartoon than a true anime because there is a lot of funny things for childrens (or more?)
The cartoon was ok, i like the redesign of some robotmasters (except maybe airman lol)
Anyways, good thing! Lets rock!
Eh I still have both DVD sets, they're good for background noise while drawing
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd really appreciate is a clean sound effect-less copy of the opening song
Umm....... I already own the 2 volume DVD's that were released earlier. Is there any reason to get these? Or are they basically the same episodes? Or is there new content that was not present in the old DVD sets?
ReplyDeleteThe series in its entirety has been out of print for eleven years. So if you don't have the old sets, this is a nice all-in-one option.
DeletePicking up the old sets now are expensive, so this is awesome that Discotek is releasing it, who knows maybe they will release the OVA too...
ReplyDeleteThis show was goofy, but it was the right kind of goofy that made it fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe action generally isn't horrid, some of the master weapons are interpreted very interestingly, (Woodman uses an actual shield shaped like a leaf, that's pretty clever.) And the voice work is so hammy and fun you can't help but love to quote it.
"Now why would anyone bar the outside of the bathroom door? ... Oh no!"
"It can pull ze MOOOOOOOON out of it's orbit!"
"We heard the silent alarm, Dr. Wily. What gives?"
I might have to get this!
behold gutsman's ass in all dvd quality glory
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the episodes on youtube but it would be nice to see a full episode without having it split into three parts. :D
ReplyDeleteI have the old set myself. Good to know that others won't have to pay $$$$$ for it (now if only the Sailor Moon license can be picked again too....)
ReplyDeleteF- Da Haters is all I have to say. Still, this set won't be worth buying if it lacks extras.
