The old-school anime DVD/BD news thread.

And it looks like July for the 5 film Dr. Slump Movies disc!

And I only say 'disc' because I have no clue how they're going to package this. Many of the Dr. Slump movies were featurettes for one of the Toei TV Manga Festival events and were thus around 45 minutes or so. I can't recall how long the Space Movie was but I want to think it was about 90 minutes. Probably less.

So if all five films are featurettes you could get them all on a DVD-9.

I don't care, I just want it!

The first Mazinger Z box set by Discotek is on preorder sale for $42 at Rightstuf.com.

Holy crap, Discotek has announced they picked up Sherlock Hound, aka Famous Detective Holmes.

These guys just keep destroying my mind.

I convinced my friend to buy two Mazinger Z boxes from Rightstuf: one for him and one for me. For such an awesome price, it's irresistable! Now I need to work on snagging the upcoming second part of Space Adventure Cobra.

Discotek also picked up Hols, Prince of the Sun. Would love to have this on BD.

For what it's worth, I really recommend this set for anyone who was a DragonBall Z fan in the nineties. Funimation did a great job with this release, and it is more than worth the discount price.
