So...
They haven't scheduled the home video release yet?

This series will probably still get more sales than Cutie Honey Universe will!

I've got the CPM Lunchbox/Ammo set (which I STILL have yet to watch!). I think it was the only way they had released the entire series.
I've only seen the first episode which they had up for free online (and available as a download for quite a while). I don't remember much other than my general impression is that it was better than the entire run of CHU (okay, I'll get off on my criticism of that series for a week -- I'm still sore because I really do like the Cutie Honey character).
Hopefully, the original VOTOMS series does well enough on US home video... People say the follow-up OVA releases are even better than the original TV series and VOTOMS is considered pretty hardcore/realistic sci-fi anime unlike those other two big sci-fi anime shows (Gee, which two could they be?) which really are space opera if you want to be honest about them...

Hell yeah! I was watching the old dvds years ago but didn’t get the whole series as the later episodes were too expensive.

I can only presume this content will lie indefinitely behind a paywall, as was HiDive's policy for Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Well,

Aura Battle Dunbine (Blu ray set) is available now!
I got my preorder shipped this past Thursday/Friday.

I hope VOTOMS gets scheduled for later this year...
It's gonna be quite a fall. Seems to be a lot of license rescues and old shows coming back.

Next week, Mazinger Z: Impact ships on Blu ray (supposedly).

And Cutie Honey Universe will still not sell!
I know, I know -- I should quit while I'm ahead but that show was SO BAD!!!! I hate to think that was many people's introduction to Cutie Honey because it's hardly the best show anybody ever did with the character. In fact, it's the worst anime version of CH, period!

I don't know about the UK, but for the US, HiDive ended their free streaming for all their titles, so you have to subscribe to watch any of their titles.
