Yes, Yes!
A classic. The animation is older in style, tho' not that primitive when compared to US TV animation. The bikers are also 'old style'. |

This is one of the crown jewels of the golden age of mecha shows as our hero gets involve in a conspiracy that will put 2 galaxies in the brink of war
animation is standards for it's time (Early~ Mid 80's) with a cool storyline and lots of the cool stuff that you don't get on modern anime, this one is gritty to the core a 100% recommendation on this one |

So, good seiyuu, powerful/dramatic storyline, quality action?
If it fits that bill, I may have to get my hands on that kinda scratch... |

I have a question...
Will the Votoms re-release be available in stores (like Suncoast or Best Buy)? Or will they only available through a preorder or online? Thanks in advance. |

Peter Tatara from CPM has confirmed that it will indeed get a regular retail release in addition to this exclusive offer.
The four arcs will be available individually for $34.95 each and when it's all done there will be a complete box set for $149.95, which will come with the metal case, bonus disc and book (the individual release will not.) |

So it's like the Zeta Gundam release, only with less pencil sharpeners.
Kinda stinks that this release won't have Shining Heresy. |

Ah. Thanks a lot. Now I know I should at least check Votoms out, now that I can just pick it up in-store, for less than $40 a set no less. |

VOTOMS is good stuff. The characters are well conceived, and as others have said, the animation is pretty much the standard for early 80s mecha shows.
A couple old press quotes about it that I found digging around on this here site... “Votoms is certainly a major event for American fandom…episodes demonstrate an appealing grittiness that’s a rare find in most animated science fiction.”-Animerica “Votoms is probably one of the most realistic war stories in anime and is the proof of Takahashi’s fantastic talent in the field.” -Protoculture Addicts They used to have a couple episodes streaming on Sputnik7.com until they stopped streaming anime altogether. What happened there, anyway? |
