Dammit, Discotek, do you have any idea how hard it is for us mere humans to handle these levels of awesome? Especially on such a routine basis?

Discotek said that they could release Ronin Warriors as a separate collection once some issues are cleared on it:

Bokurano and YST!
 I'm definitely pre-ordering Bokurano at least!
I shall have to celebrate this by listening to Uninstall. Last edited by Crisha on Fri Sep 05, 2014 12:48 am; edited 1 time in total |

It's too bad Discotek didn't do the double-sided disc thing with YST/RW, but it's been said that Bandai Ent's release was pretty fragile because of that. I know I have a few scratches on mine that make it skip a tad here and there. Maybe I'll look into grabbing the YST set.
YST/RW is essentially the show that started my anime fandom lo those many years ago (when it was in syndication, well before it was ever on CN), so this is pretty neat. |

Man, I kind of wish I had nostalgia for Ronin Warriors, I didn't get cable until after it aired I believe. I've seen some random eps, but I know it would be superior with nostalgia.
Oh my, so much to do! I really need to read my Bokurano manga now, which I only got because I assumed the anime would never get licensed. I was going to wait until I got the last volume this month to determine if I'd still want to buy the anime (I've seen it before, but I'm not a fan of owning both the anime and manga of something unless they are significantly different, like for Cromartie High or Planetes. Or I guess if I adored it beyond belief, but everything I do seems to be anime or manga only) |

How is Discotek so consistently awesome? Can't wait to see Bakurano released even if I don't pick it up right away.

Wow, I was not expecting Bokurano from Discotek. But then again, I didn't expect them to get Lovely Complex either. Anyways, glad it's coming here.
Viz should release an uncensored omnibus version of the manga to complement this. |

While there are differences, this description is still pretty accurate. Also, this is the best news I've seen in awhile for anime release in US. Loving Discotek more each announcement... I just hope they do a good job. I've watched Bokurano at least 3 times now. It's still amazing |

Still no season 2 of the lupin tv series? Even a few episodes or like a half season would be appreciated V_V. You got me hooked on it now DELIVAR!

I'll be picking up the Samurai Troopers series and OVAs. Hoping they get the English dub of Ronin Warriors.
Now they just need to license Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force

Wow, Bokurano and Comic Party good times. The one day release of Da Capo no longer seems a fantasy.

With the license of Napoleon's Dictionary that only leaves the 1992 TV special to be the only remaining 90's Lupin title to be unlicensed in the US. But I'm sure Discotek will get around to that or any other Lupin titles.

I've only ever been tangentially exposed to Samurai Troopers, catching a few episodes and missing the rest due to circumstances, but I know a lot of other people grew up with it. My closest equivalent would be Saint Seiya, curiously enough.
That said, what I'm really interested in is Bokurano. No, it's not exactly like the manga and so on, but the anime is still pretty good in its own right. I was wondering if nobody would ever release that. |

E-Master: If they bring the '92 one over, they'll have to change the title, 'cus MGM's sue-happy enough over Bond parodies.
