Thread 23431191

New round of Discotek announcements happening on Saturday. They've been posting hints for the past month, but there are so damn many that someone else can post them all if they really want to.
https://x.com/discotekmedia/status/1943109930443227631

Hopes for what they'll announce this time?

>>23431191 (OP)
Thanks for the thread, I would’ve linked to the /otg/ general in anticipation of more metal hero works but it’s close to achieving and only semi on topic. Anyway my hopes are
>Metalder
>Gaiarth remaster
>80s sunrise mecha anime like L.gaim
>More brave series
>Kamen rider Amazon and Stronger
>Inazuman
>Something from the vault that’s getting a first time ever remaster

Has anyone been trying to decipher the clues? Having failed to guess any of them in the past I kind of ignored it and am just waiting for the reveals.

>>23431203
>>Gaiarth remaster
I like you.

Redub Lovely Complex and throw out everything JelloApocalypse and Marissa Lenti wrote.

>>23431203
I want them to deep dive into the neglected shows, but at the same time I really just want them to do Garo. Make all those Season 1 Part 1 horders regret their life choices.
Since they're dedicated to going through all of Showa Rider, it'd be cool to get all of Garo.

>>23431233
I'd really like to see a lot of stuff that was lost to older formats. Even some things that got DVDs didn't get especially good ones. And this goes for a lot of things outside of /m/ content as well.

>>23431191 (OP)
>Hopes for what they'll announce
At least ONE mecha show. Last few have been dry as fuck. I'm expecting Spielban or Jiraya from MH, but most likely Amazon could be released as well.
>What do I expect?
Not much. Sevakis being a faggot as usual and the fat Digimon guy being unfunny. But hey, outside of Sentai who else releases old shit?

>>23431264
We got a few things last time. At least tokubros did. But there was 009 Devil Man and Cobra. Though it was a pretty cartoon heavy one.

>>23431221
Gonna be honest here, the clues have only gotten harder over the years. I've given up at this point lol.

>>23431277
Yeah but even as a Toku bro, I want a crumb of Mecha. Even if it's like some mid 90s OVA, just anything that's mecha.

>>23431287
Random ass OVAs are always what I hope for the most. I mean full on stuff nobody would ever care about or even remember

>>23431295
Really cool closeup shot.

>>23431191 (OP)
Another announcement batch, another weeks of copium for Ordian.
Believe in the Sign of Led Spike.

>>23431191 (OP)
I would like another Reborn fan disc special but I know that won't be happening so nothing really to look foreword to

>>23431336
Man if only.

>>23431336
This will be our year Ordian bros. I can feel it

Either that or Neo Ranga…

>>23431587
Sometimes I really do worry that we're the only people who still care about older stuff at all.

>>23431191 (OP)
Legaciam, LeDeus, Hell Target, Ai City, or Salamander plz

>>23431191 (OP)
Digimon Tamers is pretty likely, but I'll go ahead and post that I hope they'll go for it anyways. Definitely more Brave too. It's very unlikely, but since they like to release the random ecchi anime, I'll go ahead and hope for Mitsudomoe or Kannazuki no Miko. I personally don't think we'll ever get Precure or Ojamajo Doremi and any releases of those will be streaming only, but a couple of other little girl shows I'm hoping for are Akazukin Chacha and Daa Daa Daa.

>>23431191 (OP)
A release of Brigadoon and Betterman on the same level as their release of GaoGaiGar would be wonderful.

>>23431191 (OP)
I don't want to cause trouble but I bought the Neo Getter vs Shin Getter Blu ray and I found out I can't rewind or fast forward it.

Is this normal? Is there a pattern that I can expect these restrictions on Disctotek releases like blu rays produced from 2016 until 2018, productions licensed from Bandai specifically like Getter Armageddon, Shin Mazinger or some other pattern I'm not aware of? I did not run into this with Daimos at all.

Oh please be Lupin part 2, tekkaman blade, beautiful dreamer, dr slump, and maison ikkoku

>>23433032
There will always be Lupin, Why? Why is there so much Lupin, You'd think they'd have to have gotten it by now but it just keeps coming out.

>>23433035
when you build your empire out of bricks you keep making bricks

>>23431191 (OP)
My hopes are Kikaidar01. Spielban and/or Metaldar. And something to come out of the Sunrise catalog being opened back up. Vifam, L-Gaim, Raideen. One or more of those. Oh and the old Fist of the North Star OVA and live action film would be fun.

>>23432700
Their GGG releases were only as jam packed as they were because they were given the same materials that Sunrise included in the Japanese release. If they ever released Betterman it'll probably include the same stuff that's on the Japanese bluray

>>23431191 (OP)
I'm 80% sure the nicolas cage clue is raideen.

>>23432700
>>23433591
Betterman has a remaster?

>>23433915
It had a BD that was.... not terrific, yes

Bluray of all the Braves sold in a giant lion head

>>23433591
Well shit. Here's hoping Sunrise gives it a better remaster eventually.

DISCOTEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!! GIVE ME INAZUMAN FLASH, AND MY LIFE IS YOOOOOOOUUUUUUURS!!!!!!!!

neat

Alright some put up a link, it’s starting

>>23435061
https://youtu.be/z2NpnZfw26A?si=hMbPzMsRUDpwRzXb

Someone’s already asking for L.gaim, nice

It begins

I gotta close Twitter because I keep getting spoilers because they're a minute ahead lol

Chin Chan? The dub lol

Damn they got Funimation Shin Chan

Thriller

>>23435085
My favorite joke was that towards the end they were like “don’t worry, we’ve got like 700 episodes of this thing”

Apparently we’ve got 10 jaw dropping announcements this time, not the total amount but 10 big ones that’ll make people incredibly excited

>Shin Chan Dub
Already a vast improvement over the last Discotek stream.

>4K Cagliostro
I kind of knew this was coming, but man it's still pretty sweet

>>23435113
And a new dub from the team that did the tv series and others

I don't like steel books so much

>>23435116
Honestly surprised it took this long

>>23435103
Not my thing, but definitely an amusing surprise.

>>23435121
It will keep the lights one for a while

>Gunbuster was 4 years ago
Nooooooooooooooooooooo that can't be right

AMAZON!

Amazon!

Good start for Tokubros

AAA!
MAA!
ZOON!

Haha

The story behind Amazon was that the series was being switched over too TBS(no not that one) after airing on whats now tv asahi, that’s why it’s so short, yes it was never cancelled

MEGAMAN

HUh. I thought they did Mega Man already.

Cool, Megaman.

SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT

lol the mega man tv show, I still have the original dvd’s they released due to how it was such a famed YTP source (such as gutsman ass)

>>23435155
I think they did as a DVD, this is SD-BD

This is getting embarrassing for Shout. Jesus guys sort out the original already.

>>23435155
This is the SD-BD release version.

GUTSMAN

>BD of Ruby Spears Mega Man
Is the hope, BN bros?

>>23435165
Dun Nuuuuuuuun!

>The Japanese have gone nuts over the tv show
Wait really?

>>23435174
They finally got a sub release back in December so it's been an experience

>>23435177
lol

>>23435174
>>23435177
It's bad box art all over again with Japan fandom.

Oh yeah they made like 4 of those overfiend movies

>That back cover
Stream shutting down in 3...2...1

>>23435174
It got subtitled on Amazon Prime as "Rockman USA" and they're discovering all the memes we did. Plus the series was animated by Ashi Pro so I'm sure some people remember working on it.

RIP bottom half of that disc.

>>23435186
How glorious

Yay, Golden Boy

GOLDEN BOY!

Golden Boy!

GOLDEN BOY

>>23435190
It's funny if you talk to some Japanese Capcom fans about the Van Damme movie and they wonder about Sawada's vastly cut down screen time without known he was in the USA cartoon for a bit too.

Reminder that the OVA covers the only good parts of Golden Boy.

>>23435198
The definitive version

>>23435198
I like some of the non-serialized chapters immediately afterwards, but yeah, it's definitely downhill from what the OVA covers.

Yum yum more Keroro

ZEGAPAAAAAAAIN

Oh. Zegapain. That was a show.

>Cagliostro, again
>Mega Man, again
>Golden Boy, again, but with an upscale that looks identical to the DVDs
Honestly embarrassing to watch this.

Dat cgi

>>23435213
Those were all released from well over a decade ago during their dvd days

Hey movie included. Neat.

>>23435216
And based on their reruns, there won't be any significant differences.

This was a good day for Zegapain fag.

Oh hey they got the new zegapain movie

Is this guy right to hype this show up? I like the aesthetics I'm seeing here and if this BD is 100% complete I might use that as an excuse to check it out.

>>23435222
Yeah. It's pretty cool

>>23435222
It's a pretty satisfying watch that has way more effort put into than you'd expect from an X-Box game tie-in. I hope you like despair and quantum computing theory.

>>23435224
>X-Box game tie-in.
The fuck? That's crazy.

>>23435167
>More Digimon
And there we go, the dream is dead...

>>23435229
Some of the characters from the game guest star in the anime too, though their storylines are running in parallel iirc.

I remember seeing the english version of Revenge of Diaboromon back in the day and being confused by the Frontier OST

I do not care much for Digimon

>>23435246
Digimon is the definition of cooked. I'm happy for the fans though.

>>23435246
To them it’s pretty exciting but to me I kinda agree, never really grew up with it, saw it on tv but and had at least two tapes of it but was never really into it

>>23435248
I don't know what that means

>>23435250
They delivered

Holy shit, Monster!

Ooh, wasn't expecting that

MONSTER BD YEAAAAH

>Monster
Sugoi. Not something I wanted or even considered but it's cool.

I'm just excited they got the dub for Revenge of Diaboromon. That aired like once ever on the Disney Channel.

Not what I was expecting but it’s a welcome one

>>23435246
I don't mind it, I just hope they are grateful for all the love Bamco and Discotek has given it.

Like, I don't expect a new BN game, but at least give us the anime franchises with improved subs.

This would be more exciting if the show had anything going on, but this, like the past four or so streams, has been just dire.
I guess Anime Eigo is eating up all the cool licenses, but we barely see any mecha at all now. Feels like the classic mecha in English idea is completely dead in the water with Gundam going fully OOP on the RS side, and Discotek not picking up any new mecha anime of real interest.

>>23435267
>I don't mind it even if it's not for me
Also, Monster is a pretty cool drop.

But wait, there’s more!

>>23435229
Two Xbox 360 games, to be precise. Zegapain XOR MC is Toga Vital, who sometimes appears on the anime and does his thing with his own cast parallel to the events of the anime, while Zegapain NOT is a direct sequel to XOR but from Gards-orm, the villains, perspective, complete with evil counterpart to Toga. Both games play like Zone of the Enders and had a online mode that connects both XOR and NOT, and remained exclusive to Japan.

>>23435273
>and remained exclusive to Japan.
Which sucks

>>23435275
And unlike Metal Wolf Chaos, it didn't have a huge cult following to it for a remaster.

>License rescue
Why, for a small second, I was thinking it was Slayers...

>>23435289
A lot of people in the comments were shouting out when they said someone guessed it

ZONE OF ENDERS OUT OF NOWHERE

>>23435270
>with Gundam going fully OOP on the RS side

I assumed Crunchyroll would've reprinted them with their logo on the boxes by now, but It seems something more is going on.

>ZOE Dolors I
YOOOOOOOOO

DOLORES!

>Idolo and Dolores
Neat! We're eating good Z.O.E Bros.

>Idolo
>Dolores,
>Idolo Res

Was this any good?

>>23435270
>Shin-Chan
>Amazon
>Keroro movies
>Zegapain + the movies
>Digimon movies
>Monster
>Zone of the Enders
>Only dumb saturday morning cartoon thing so far is Mega Man, which at least has a boatload of production materials as an added bonus
>No youtuber commentaries anywhere to be seen

Nah fuck you, this stream has been leagues ahead of the previous Discotek streams. Obvously I'd like more mecha shit, but at the very least we're seeing some mecha shit this time around outside of Mazinkaiser.

>>23435308
It was great.

>>23435308
It you're a ZOE fan, it's pretty decent.

>>23435310
But shin chan is only the shitty english dub and not the original japanese version

>>23435322
Hey fuck you, Acton Bastard dub was kino

Not gonna lie, that Zegapain set is surprisingly impressive.

>>23435322
>But shin chan is only the shitty english dub and-
Did I stutter?

>>23431191 (OP)
Yay like one or two things I like and the rest, I don't give a shit about

>>23435322
This person lacks honor. Honor and a penis.

>>23435322
What? You want ALL of shin chan? Good luck with that, I’d go insane trying to watch all of that in a row from start to end(it doesn’t end)

>>23435322
It's just re-release of FUNi? those had subs also why not release the Vitello dub?

>>23435328
>>23435325
But the english VAs cant act or sound right and don't deliver their lines correctly

>>23435298
Yeah, they just let ALL of Gundam die. Even the stuff that was done under the CR label, which is mostly just G-Witch, are gone.
There's only 4 BDs left and it's all shit nobody would care about.
>IBO S1
IBO Complete Collection was cheaper.
>Gundam-san
Newest thing technically, and also a parody only superfans would want.
>Doan's Island
Another release for big fans.
>Build Beginning G
Have to be a fan of Build.

I imagine all of these probably have about 10-20 copies left in the warehouse.

>>23435322
Might as well go for Sazae-chan then

Bragging about this is so pathetic. Even worse is "the other guys are good too". Pick a lane you fat faggot.

>have the rights
>Can't show the things you have the rights too

I don't get, youtube sometimes.

>Watches video about that Jellyofaggot drama
>Youtuber brings up Discotek still hasn't updated their website
He's right lmfao their site is dogshit.

>>23435338
You will never be Japanese, ken-sama.

>>23435310
>Obvously I'd like more mecha shit, but at the very least we're seeing some mecha shit this time around outside of Mazinkaiser.
I don't feel like subsisting on the scraps.
The thing they're announcing right now is cool though, Shin Ace has never gotten translated even in the fan scene.

>>23435340
License might’ve expired, maybe in the near future discotek might be able to do a license rescue, that’ll get people hyped

Kikaider bros, where you at

Why can't they just put out trailers and leave it at that, these streams are shit and I'm not watching this one this time.

Oh shit, is this the first time kikider 01 has ever been brought over. I don’t think even Hawaii ever got zero one

>>23435340
Yeah, Gundam of all things dying is so bizarre. I'm glad I got all of the seasons I really wanted to own a year or so before that happened.

>>23435357
NVM they already did

>>23435353
Nah, CR seems to just be killing BDs as a whole, and basically killed every RS project by 2024.
Nozomi's catalog is also gone. No more Utena, no more KareKano, SZS S3 got silently cancelled, and we've gotten zero updates on all the Macross projects outside of the two smallest ones. It's dead in the water.
>>23435359
I'm only missing the Build series, OO Season 2, the AGE bonus BD, and the later CR/Funi stuff like IBO and G-Witch.

>>23435340
I'm furious I missed Witch. I was waiting for a non-steelbook release. I have literally everything else released on BD and shit.
Also fuck CR for not giving us physical release of Hathaway.

>>23435362
>Nah, CR seems to just be killing BDs as a whole, and basically killed every RS project by 2024.

I hate that physical media is dying.

>>23435362
They'll put out reprints of FUNi releases with their logo and do like super mainstream shows they can sell at Walmart.

>>23435363
>Also fuck CR for not giving us physical release of Hathaway.
Just import it, it has English subs.
Bandai seems autistic about the movies. G Reco, Hathaway, and Seed Freedom never released outside Japan, but the Japanese releases all had English subs (I for one have all five G Reco BDs).
They also get weird about the side materials for that. Like, the SEED and OO compilation films were ONLY in the $300 deluxe editions for some reason (along with the SEED/DESTINY SDBDs), and I highly doubt that was RightStuf trying to bait people into buying the deluxe editions since G and Wing were fairly standard releases, just some physical bonuses and an artbook.

>>23435356
Everything they do is like 10 years in the past. They expect you to follow updates via a newsletter. They plan their announcements and display them like it's an anime convention panel.

>>23435372
Reco got a western BD. Just not the movies.

>>23435362
I'm not surprised, but yeah, all of Nozomi's stuff got screwed over. Rip SZS S3

Speaking of Nozomi, where the fuck is that Dirty Pair DVD. It's been like 4 years.

>>23435362
Anime The Anime (UK) got the rights to Frontier and Delta which was announced at AX. Presumably they will be released in the US with Crunchyroll distributing the same way Plus and Zero were.

It's weird that Darkstalkers cartoon has the least sexy version of Morrigan imaginable yet they did up a lady in a pretty good costume for the promo.

>>23435363
>Also fuck CR for not giving us physical release of Hathaway.

Doesn't Netflix have the license for that?

>>23435374
Yeah when they should just put the trailer on social media and there you go, it's been that way for years for everyone else.

>>23435379
Presumably, CR's handling that now, but yeah, I'll be surprised if that sees the light of day

Stronger!

>>23435362
Not entirely sure, I think they just didn’t bother to renew a ton of licenses since CR a still does produce BD’s. And really OH SHIT KAMEN RIDER STRONGER

STRONGER

STRONGER BITCH

>>23435380
All The Anime*

Never watched Kamen Rider, where should i start?

I'm happy for you Tokubros

>>23435379
They sent an update at the end of June saying the licensors approved of everything and they're in the printing stage. Hopefully they'll get their shit out by the end of the year.

Dear Stronger, how do you type with motorcycles on your hands

>>23435345
Maybe you should've released more Rider shows, Shout.

>>23435395
Indeed, this was my favorite of the early Showa shows, the last bit with the delza army is legitimately fantastic and peak Showa toku especially if you’ve watched the previous seasons

>>23435398
DELETED

>>23435380
I finally got my copy of Plus, but Zero came out? I missed it? It's my least favorite anyways but I'm surprised.
Also waiting in the crowdfunded Macross II release to finally fucking release.

one day.

This company seems way less aim at anime fans now most of what they been putting out for anime is reprints which is even more annoying because anime DVDs have gone DOWN on the used market vs BDs are all overpriced used but Discotek never keeps shit in print so if you want on BD but you had to wait a month to get paid you're fucked.

>>23433032
Fucking wow I got 0 of the things I hoped for, thanks

>>23435406
You don't want yet another dub of Caglistro?

I always dug the Black Satan grunts, they're kinda cute

>>23435411
I love the Pioneer cast but the two dubs it already had are fine and I rather they grab some shit never re-released in US or releases are rare like VHS only in US like Sanctuary or Gray Digital Target like there's enough cheap OVAs out there.

Shame no Tamers confirmation, but I'll go ahead and throw money on the second set of movies. Golden Boy is nice even if it's just an upscale. I'll probably try out ZegaPain, it seems neat.

>>23435411
I only watch subs of japanese shows and dubs of english ones

>>23435410
>Lupin Part 2
Probably in the works.
>Tekkaman Blade
Yeah that one's a reach.
>Beautiful Dreamer
Straight up not happening for a while because licensors of that are being Jewish
>Dr. Slump
They said straight up they won't be doing that due to the poor performance of the movies
>maison ikkoku
Again, kind of a reach but could happen

>>23435382
You're right and I'm retarded. Fuck Netflix AND CR though. Making a mess of my Gundam and Macross shit.

>>23435416
Lupin pays the bills.

Why did they say Stronger was the final one of the Showa aren't there a few more

>>23435427
I think Viz still has Maison.

>>23435345
What's a Shout Factory employee doing here

>>23435432
Their final announcement of the day.

>>23435432
They don't actually like or watch toku

>>23435436
The Twitter post calls it the last of the original run

>>23435432
Final one of the Original run. Skyrider was technically a "new" series.

>>23435427
Beautiful Dreamer is gonna be released by GKids now that Toho owns them.

>>23435437
>don't actually like or watch toku
>Has more releases then Shot
Hmm, really makes you think.

>>23435440
This, it was originally called Kamen Rider, with it being changed to Skyrider later on.

>>23435441
GKids should get more old shit just cause their prices are actually reasonable and you can find them in actual stores.

>>23435440
Isn't hanging onto the semantics of that 40 years later kinda silly when by the end of the show it was just another continuation

>>23435446
I dunno how much Toku they watched, but they realized that when they release stuff people are actually interested in, they make money.

Which is probably why they led with Kamen Rider Black as their first entry for KR. Still weird Juspion was the first MH entry.

>>23435446
>Has more releases then Shot
>Hmm, really makes you think.
Between all the Super Sentai they released and those old Showa toku movies, I'm pretty sure Shout has released more.

>>23435452
>Still weird Juspion was the first MH entry.
Brazil imported them like crazy

>>23435432
Stronger sometimes considered final Showa series before Toei decided to renew it with Skyrider. This is from JP wiki.

>>23435452
>>23435453
How about a compromise, Discotek for the showa Riders and Metal Heroes while Shout for the reiwa Rider and Sentai

>>23435400
>picks up the exclusive physical and streaming license to the original Kamen Rider
>won't do a physical release
>picks up the exclusive license rights to Heisei and Reiwa Rider
>abysmally slow pace
>gets an exclusive sublicense for Super Sentai
>abysmally slow pace
meanwhile Discotek's knocked out the majority of Showa Rider and Metal Heroes in a shorter timespan. toku isn't a huge priority for Shout (as opposed to other television and film license acquisitions) and it shows
>>23435353
when Crunchyroll acquired Nozomi/Rightstuff, both physical and streaming were in one place for a tiny window before whatever exclusive license they had expired. Gundam is streaming on a lot of platforms now - Crunchyroll, Amazon, Netflix while there's no physical release. with the Gundam push Bandai has been making, I hope they aren't outpriced from it

>>23435464
I mean that's kind of what's been happening. Modern rider has rights issues due to TV Asahi, whereas Showa era rider tends to be easier to distribute.

>>23435453
>>23435446
>>23435437
I don't see why it matters if they like it or not as long as they're still releasing it and the release isn't bad.
The company isn't your best friend who's gonna say "yeah wasn't it cool when so and so happened?" I'm more your friend then the people at Discotek just because I'm talking to you

>>23435466
Super Sentai was stopped when Hasbro sold their licensing sub company. Same reason Discotek hasn't gone after B Fighter.

>>23435469
>I don't see why it matters if they like it or not as long as they're still releasing it and the release isn't bad.
It really doesn't matter, more releases at a reasonable price is always the best outcome.

>>23435469
>The company isn't your best friend who's gonna say "yeah wasn't it cool when so and so happened?"
The entire angle has always been parasocial with discotek. It's why they announce shit at an anime panel at otakon or have livestreams where they talk to the viewers. It's also how they were also able to get bury the lovely complex debacle cause fanboys look the other way cause "they're fans, they didn't mean it."

>>23435472
Would B-Fighter be a problem? Black RX wasn't.

>>23435481
You can avoid being annoyed by this by doing the same thing I do by just looking at what was licensed and nothing else

Maybe I'll give Golden Boy another shot. That horrible dub made me quit after the first episode.

>>23435485
Shaider too

>>23435481
What the hell do you want? A pound of flesh. If they put out a shit product don't buy it. If they put out a good product do buy it. This isn't complicated. This isn't something that needs a stand. This isn't a fight. Go get a real cause.

>>23435487
>just ignore when they had some youtuber butcher an anime cause it wasn't tranny inclusive
Nah how about you kill yourself instead justin

>>23435494
>why do you care so much about anime on 4chan
You should really stick to threads justin

>>23435497
nta but you really are looking for stuff to get mad about, we got Zegapain and ZOE on Blu-ray for fuck sakes, that's more important then some drama.

>>23435500
>>23435505
>inb4 schizo also calls me Justin

>>23435494
>What the hell do you want?
Subbed releases of every show in the Time Bokan franchise, if you're taking requests.

>>23435497
I get that you're retarded and obsessed over a bad job a blacklisted tranny did a year ago but I'm not even talking about that, I'm talking about it not mattering they don't watch toku

I just want them to do Might Gaine. Betterman feels like it'd be a pipe dream if they tried to make it look any better than the current releases.

>>23435394
Kamen Rider Geats

>>23435500
>>23435497
If you weren't a coward you would be harassing them directly instead of wasting our time doing your schizo act

Hoping after Kikaider they're able to get stuff like Zubat or Inazuman.

>>23435525
If it sells I won't doubt it

>>23435524
You get blocked immediately for bringing it up actually

>>23435513
He wasn't a tranny and he isn't blacklisted given he still gets dub roles and writing credits. Hell, discotek even took down their post denouncing it.

>>23435525
I'm thinking Inazuman is next considering V3, Kikaider and 01 were all part of that Generation Kikaida thing.

>>23435497
>>23435513
>>23435532
Who? And what anime got botched and how?

>>23435538
Jelloapocalypse did the lovely complex blu ray.

>>23435532
And if they gave dubs to Rider this would matter to what I was talking about
Are you gonna be thinking about Lovely Complex for the rest of your life? This >>23435494 anon is right its no wonder it didn't get a real response from the schzio

>>23435540
Stop samefagging

>>23435452
>Still weird Juspion was the first MH entry.
presumably that was either A) the cheapest one to license, and/or B) the one that had the best available video quality at the time, though I imagine >>23435458 is also right that Discotek was also expecting a lot of import sales to Brazilian fans of Juspion

>>23435540
>And if they gave dubs to Rider this would matter to what I was talking about
Yeah, discotek would never fuck with the subs

>>23435532
At the very least, Just said that neither Discotek not Animeigo are going to work with Sound Cadence again.

Zegapain is a nice surprise. Especially the second movie which isn't subbed still.

>>23435547
Yeah?

>>23435394
The original or Black for Showa.
Kuuga or Ryuki for 00s.
W or Gaim for 10s.
Geats or Gavv for 20s.

>>23435538
They censored Samurai Pizza Cats too.
https://digitalshokunin.tumblr.com/post/124751308028/why-retranslate-teyandee

>>23435555
Ryuki, Gaim and Geats are terrible shows to start with.

>>23435550
>mixing services
That's nothing lol

>>23435561
yeah you're right they should start with Saber or whatever you're pretending is more popular

>>23435550
Why not just use Richard Epcar own studio? He gets Lupin better than anyone, at least he writing and directing.

>>23435566
Epcar Entertainment are the main ones working on the dub, and they've also done all of Disoctek's previous Lupin dubs.

>>23435394
Kuuga or Faiz, though Black is good as well if you are ok with more episodic type of shows. But in general you can watch almost any season, most of them are stand alone.

>>23435550
Wassup Dylan G lol

>>23435562
"We aren't going work with Sound Cadence anymore*"

*except for mixing services

Lmao

Zegapain was one of my most wanted shows for them to put out so I’m glad it’s finally on the table. I’ll take the bluray release as an excuse to rewatch it. I never saw the movies so that’s a neat bonus. Now my 2 biggest hopes are L-Gaim and Brave Raideen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2NpnZfw26A
How was Discotek Day?

Happy to get Zegapain, now I want new release of Neo-Ranga, Tri-Zenon and Dendoh.

>>23435565
I'm not saying they aren't popular, but they are very non-standard shows that don't really represent what the majority of franchise is like. It's more or less the same reason why I wouldn't recommend Saber either, butthurt schizo.

>>23435584
I liked it, really glad I managed to call it for both kamen rider installments but of course like all discotek threads all the fun ends once the main stream ends lol that’s where I take my leave

>>23435586
Kuuga is much more of an outlier than the battle royale seasons, which we get a ton of now.

>>23435593
Does anyone actually read these essays?

Which ones will you buy or skip?

>>23435597
Most Multi-Rider shows take after Agito, not Ryuki. The actual Battle Royale format has only been done thrice, and out of those 3 Gaim stopped being a Battle Royale halfway through.

The true best entry show for the 2000s is Agito, followed by maybe Kabuto.

Did Animeigo do a Macross 2 update? Still waiting for that one.
>>23435603
ZOE, Monster

>>23435614
>The actual Battle Royale format has only been done thrice
That's more than what Kuuga got, glad we agree.

>>23435584
Lot of Toku. Some nice surprises.

>>23435630
Agito is pretty similar to Kuuga, and all Phase 1 shows take after Kuuga in some way or another because it's the originator of the J-Drama style of shows as well as the new form and upgrade format.

>>23435603
>guaranteed buy
Zegapain
Digimon Movies 4-6
>maybe
ZOE
Golden Boy
Urotsukidoji
>not getting
Everything else

>>23435656
Just like Gaim started the faster serialized storytelling style everything but Gotchard uses these days as well as the heavier focus on Rider v Rider plus an increase in the amount of upgrades the protagonist gets.

>>23435666
>>23435603
I want Zegapain just for the movies

>>23435674
AT LONG FUCKING LAST
JESUS FUCK

>>23435597
Kuuga is an amazing show though, and is perfectly in line with what an ideal Rider show should strive to be

>>23435668
Most shows are still not as serialized as Gaim is, they still have their fair share of episodic arcs and 2-parters, even the Reiwa ones. The problem with people who start with heavily serialized shows like Gaim and Build is that they tend to dismiss and/or look down on the episodic format and the shows that feature it quite heavily (which is still most of the franchise), just look at the initial reception Drive, Zi-O and Zero-One got for leaning on it. People who start with Gaim and Build expect more shows like them, but end up frustrated because there actually aren't that many shows quite like them.

>>23435677
STA sucks. What an underwhelming film, should have been a 12 episodes anime at the very least. And i'm still sad/bitter what the film did to Shizuno
I'm still getting the complete box

>>23435690
I only skimmed the raws and couldn't understand much. Wanna break down some spoilers?

>>23435692
A brief summary, i'm not spoling the whole post so beware to anyone actually wanting to watch it.
>apparently, after the end of the story, there was enough data of Kyo 1.0 stored in the Altair to make a copy of him with Gard Orms Techonology
>That Kyo 1.0 is stored in the back up server of maihama where they keep Kyoto and some other stuff, it's always winter in there
>Naga and the Gard Orms raided another fucking dimension when they were doing their evolution techno orgy thingy, the villains (named olta moda) are trying to get revenge.
>For some reason, the Villains are in Winter Maihama and are attacking the city and Kyo 1.0. The loli from ADP is sort of guiding him. Shizuno is there for some reason too
>Villains can do things like put people in a loop of 0.01 second, change the color/properties, reboot the server, etc. Kyo can summon parts of the altair through a guantlet and defend himself. Almost like they wanted to make an Informatic themed battle shonen or Scryed 2.0
>Gard Orms are still around and are cause trouble every now and then for the Celebrants. The Olta Moda are trying to seize one of the production factories and invade the real world, causing a deftera zone/black hole to destroy it.
>Kyo 2.0 is out there, living his life and getting by, still tries to help Celebrants when he can.
>Abyss is helping the Celebrants for some reason and is obsessed with Ryoko
>Apparently all of olta moda guys are just schizo tulpas of a single person.
>One of the admin AIs of the Gard Orms built himself a super anti zega to destroy everything
>Shizuno remembers everything, fuses herself with Kyo 1.0 and commits a kamikaze attack on the anti zega, but they both leave for Maihama at the last second.
>They both prefer to spend eternity in Winter Maihama together until the server breaks down
>Olta Moda decide to just leave reality and wander dimensions
>ZEGAPAIN EPISODE 27: OLTA MODA. THE END

>>23435708
As an addendum, this whole thing is an adaptation/"Expansion" of a fucking Pachinko game. See the REUNION -ZEGAPAIN ARCHIVE PROJECT- (on e-/exhentai) for more information.
It's just a very underwhelming film. It develops nothing, and really adds nothing or contributes anything to the themes or characters of the original story.
Also, english subs have been out for a couple of months already. You can get them at Opensubtitles. It only translates the 'Olta Moda' part of the film, not the reminiscence/recap of the show (because the actual film is only 1 hour). Wanted to do a thread, but fucking sharty took the site down when i watched it.

>>23435596
I don't usually go for steel books but this one looks nice.

I feel like a sucker for getting into blu ray only recently and missing all the good shit. Obviouslg the gundam situation is a well tread topic but can we get some patlabor love as well

Well, that was underwhelming.

>>23435596
i dont understand why this is being made for the millionth time? it already has a bluray and a 4k. why is it taking them 20 years to release Lupin part 2?

>>23435345
Put out the original series on blu-ray, Shout Factory.

>>23436164
Because they're dubbing all of Part 2.

>>23436242
but i fucking hate dub, i hate tony oliver

>Amazon
>Stronger
>Kikaider01
>Frogs
>Zone of the Enders

I'm pretty happy with the Toku, I wished for a Metal Hero, but fuck Kikaider is the prototype for that in my brain anyway. Rest was okay. Three things I'll grab eventually. This stream didn't blow me away, but I walked away happy enough.

>>23436220
I swear they're doing this to goad Shout into action. Though I kind of wish they would somehow just lose the damn license fast and so Discotek can pick it up and the Showa era can match. Shout needs to get back to Reiwa and Heisei.

>>23436342
shout has gone to shit since covid

>>23436363
Has there been a sharp fall since then? I've always bought from them, but I've never payed close enough attention to tell.

They do seem to have ceased all Toku stuff. It's been awhile on that front, hasn't it?

>>23436164
Because it makes money. This isn't complicated. They sell this shit because people buy it and because people it they can afford to license the crap only you care about. This is basic business. Fuck alive.

>>23436164
Because there's always a demand for Miyazaki movies.

>>23435836
I’ve been into it for a few years and even I missed out on some. Took too long to pick up the J9 BDs and before I knew it they were all out of print

You know justin it makes it very obvious when either you or your buttbuddies are in the thread when jannies take issues only on posts related to you specifically

>>23435513
Can we stop repeating the lie he faced any repercussions whatsoever

>>23435836
I got stupid lucky with Gundam. I got the collectors sets as they came out, but I put off the regular series. I finally went in RIGHT before we noticed they were going out of stock. I had to ebay two shows for a bit extra, but I got the rest during a Christmas sale, so I was still ahead. I feel like I Matrix dodged a nightmare.

But I can't find SD Force on DVD anywhere, and I swear I owned it. Oh well.

>>23436492
Show the work

>>23436493
I ended up flipping a lot of my gundam sets. There is a pretty high demand. There's a part of me that misses it and regrets it but there's also a part of me that needed a transmission.

>>23435550
>>23435547
Let's see if they'll run their mouths off again about shit they changed.

>>23436520
The right nerd shit is a pretty good "In case of emergency, break glass" I admit. A few months back I had to flip a ton of figures real quick. I got lucky, nothing I didn't intend to flip sooner or later. Tough decisions friend. Hope things go your way.

>>23435213
>but with an upscale that looks identical to the DVDs
What's even the point of releasing it on Blu-ray?

>>23435559
I hate Americans and their bullshit PC culture so much.
>Karamaru: Ore datte, honne wo iya, ano okamagitsune ya karasu jijii wo shougun nanza ni shitakunee.
>Which translates as: Karamaru: To tell you the truth, I’d hate for that queer fox and that geezer crow to become shogun.
>The DVDs say this: Karamaru: To be honest with you, I never wanted that sly fox as shogun anyways.
What a piece of shit company.

>>23436599
It's fine. It's just as easy to download and watch stuff on my PC and honestly the older I get the less I tend to focus on my nerd shit collections. I'd feel bad for a while If I was forced to get rid of lose a lot of it but honestly I don't think I'd honestly mind too much. There was some quote about owning your shit in the stream earlier that I think was pretty germane. I've collected a lot of video games too but I honestly don't play them at all.

>>23435603
What's the reasoning of releasing SD on Blu-ray? To con the ignorati into overpaying? It should be cheaper for the company to print DVDs too.

>>23435603
Kamen Rider Stronger is an HD release.

>>23436856
The larger space on blu-rays means they can basically put an entire standard definition show on one or two discs with relatively little compression needed.

>>23435427
>>23435433
Maison Ikkoku has licensing issues with the music apparently

I wish one day gear fighter dendoh and corrector yui would get an official eng release.

>>23435603
>buy

>>23436642
Can we get an argento soma remaster next, sunrise-sama?

>>23436637
I personally don't care for SD on BD, I prefer it to be on regular DVD because DVD more universal like if I want watch a Blu Ray on a CRT I gotta through all these extra hoops of using a adapter that will mess up the aspect ratio or try to find a good older player or good condition PS3 that has AV and it such a pain vs just playing the disc on DVD on a player also same deal with PC Blu Ray drives still aren't cheap vs DVD dirt cheap. I don't care if there's a slight boost in quality plus if it a upscale I hate it more upscaled rarely look good and I tend to prefer raw footage.

Nobody fucking makes DVD anymore. Bluray is the standard. Why do you retards have so much trouble understanding simple things.

How new are you?

>>23438678
What does tennis have to do with /m/?

>>23438684
Yeah you're super new. Ēsu o Nerae is a direct influence on Gunbuster (Top Wo Nare) to the point where the latter is almost a parody/pastiche of it.

>>23438636
Even ignoring that it influenced gunbusta, it's a good show, great if you are into retro anime.

>>23438672
DVDs are still made and sell more than BDs with normies also lot of old TV shows get cheap massive complete series DVD boxsets now.
