3 comments postedI'll probably pick this up; not as much because I'm a fan of the show (although I am) but because it's so rare for old japanese robot shows to enter the american market unaltered.
couple of months ago i picked up voltron 5 sets dvd
somehow the dubbing and lack of subtitle really disappoint me
i went and return the last unopened 4 boxes to bestbuy..
But Hold on!!i read sumwhere around that the japanese version which is Golion have more interesting story and pictures...since the old old video that i saw when i was a kid is the golion version...
Unaltered? we do hope so..
But what I'd be really interested in getting is the Dairugger XV set. I have the Voltron I (English dub) in good-nuff quality (thank you, bittorrent!), and it's hot...but I'd really like to see that show unaltered. I've always liked the Dairugger design better than GoLion (and I doubt I'll hear much arguing from JoshB!), and even now--seeing the cartoon again from an adult perspective--it seems like much more was going on, plot-wise, from episode to episode.
