Awesome!

Since they're getting the 80s Astro Boy series, I wonder if they'll get the 80s Jungle Emperor series, too? I've been wanting to see that one for a while now.

It's so refreshing to have a streaming service where I actually want to watch pretty much everything on it. I've already been enjoying RetroCrush and it just keeps getting better. Major thanks to the powers that let this happen, because all of you are awesome. ~<3

So glad they're bringing back stuff that was licensed through Viki and AnimeSols. I thought Dear Brother was set to languish with those rare DVDs. I hope they can be the niche service that AnimeSols sort of was when they streamed titles for crowdfunding.

Great additions, been wanting to watch Great Whale in Space for a while. I was hoping Discotek would pick up the Black Jack OVAs, but this will be okay for now I guess.

Are they going to have the unedited Japanese tetsuwan atom as well? I would dearly want to see a complete version of the old series along side the edited english version of the 80's cartoon.

The Dezaki Black Jack OVA is quite the ride. It's amazing the amount of bullshit the stitched surgeon can pull out to cure just about anything.

I was talking about the unedited 80's cartoon. There was some cut content to westernise it and tone down the abuse of the machines.

Which dub version are you talking about, the 1982 American English dub or the 1985 Canadian English dub?
