Anime on DVD/BD wishlists

[DKop]

I found a discussion here that lists anime on VHS that never made it to DVD/BD. It's a bit out of date though.

My picks from that discussion (that haven't been mentioned or actually released yet):

Capricorn
Compiler/Compiler 2
Girl From Phantasia
Iczelion
Super-Deformed Double Feature
Crystal Triangle
Dog Soldier
Ultimate Teacher
Wanna-Be's
Dragon Century
Grey: Digital Target

And of those Ultimate Teacher would be my top pick because it's legitimately good IMO. Dog Soldier is one I'd buy in a heartbeat despite it's terribleness.

That list is missing Sanctuary

Ultimate Teacher is a fun one to enjoy, Dog Solider is too but its dumb fun. I have Compliler 2 on VHS but I haven't found the first one on the wild yet. Super Deformed Double Feature best bet would be from AnimEigo, unless Discotek wants to get it, and I doubt Robert Woodhead would fight them on that.

Sol Bianca was a big deal at the time it was released in the US. Wasn't it voted fan favorite somewhere?

Yea I think on the VHS tape or in an old Animerica add it was voted best anime at like Anime Expo IIRC? I know about that too.

If the anime looks half as good as Ryoichi Ikegami's incredible manga art, I am totally on board!

I'm checking that link you posted Danth, and I see that they got Techno Police listed on there. I think there is a really good chance of that coming out from Discotek since the Bluray is technically "available" if you get the Blade robot collectors edition figure that contains the Bluray, which I believe has that english dub on it im assuming.

Oh man, they listed Ogre Slayer on that list too. I do own both on VHS, I think if i'd ever watch it again it's gotta be for drunk anime night parties or something one day in the future. That was a really stupid OVA.

I feel like I must have seen Ogre Slayer on VHS at Blockbuster back in the day, but past it up due to the boring cover.

I think I might want to add Luna Varga to my wishlist for DVD/BD. I think I had it filed away in my brain next to Gude Crest and Capricorn, probably conflating them. Capricorn == Outlanders + Dragons, Gude Crest = Dirty Pair + Swords, Luna Varga = I dunno what but it's got the same character designer as Project A-ko and looks really pretty.

Also Dangaioh. It never got a proper, non-butchered DVD.

The show's not much different

Also Dangaioh. It never got a proper, non-butchered DVD.

I hope whoever (ie we all know its Discotek) releases that on DVD/Bluray adds in that old Dangaioh sub with the infamous "SIDE KICK WAVE" attack. Toshifumi Yoshida/Trish Ledoux early translation/subbing roles must be preserved, and they harp on their mistakes at their panel every year on that at Animazement.

Now for more never released wishes. This list only gets ever longer as I remember/discover more shows I want to see.

• Dream Dimension Hunter Fandora
• Cosmos Pink Shock
• Dream Hunter Rem

The above are all sci fi with super 80s character designs so they've always been on my radar. Since they all have female leads I think I've filed them in the same mental folder.

I've seen Cosmos Pink Shock fansubbed and really liked it. The others I may have seen bits of.

I just did google image searches for all three to refresh my memory. Yikes. Dream Hunter Rem has some very...questionable content. Based on some quick research on wikipedia, that one may be ruined for me.

• Dragon Heaven

Mecha + Jean Giraud style animation + good story.

• Dragon Quest: Legend of the Hero Abel

The first 13 episodes were shown as "Dragon Warrior" in the States. Akira Toriyama character designs + fantasy RPG setting. I LOVED the Dragon Warrior games as a kid so I was all over this but it was hard to catch it on TV. The US version had an AMAZING theme song too.

• Hoshi Neko Fullhouse

I know nothing about this but how cool it looks from google image search.

• Stop!! Hibari-kun!

Super fun. Seen a few episodes, would love to see more.

Maybe because I've seen so much that I'm jaded, but I don't recall anything too out of the ordinary in Dream Hunter Rem, and I watched the whole thing a few years ago, including the uncut episode. I honestly don't recall much from the hentai scenes in question.

Another one that should be mentioned is Armored Hunter Mellowlink. There are some really nice looking rips of the show posted on youtube, so the old myth that there are no good sources to use has definitely been debunked by now.

Ohhh, forgot about all that. Yeah I guess we kind of need that preserved for historical reasons.

Well that's good to hear about Dream Hunter Rem. I can deal with nudity/sex but if it's loli stuff I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole!

I got through all of Mellowlink fansubbed. It was good watch.
