Still no luck on finding an English-subbed set, but I found a couple of expensive books on ebay (U.S.); auction titles are:<br /><br />"MIKAZUKI VISUAL BOOK #1-#2 KEITA AMEMIYA" and<br />"TEKKOUKI MIKAZUKI VISUAL GUIDE BOOK" (cheaper but just book #1 it looks like)<br /><br />Thanks again for bringing this show to my attention!<br /><br />-Jesse S.Jesse Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-86267596867945355752009-12-10T10:37:44.835+00:002009-12-10T10:37:44.835+00:00Without the single page article in G-Fan (Godzilla...Without the single page article in G-Fan (Godzilla fans) magazine I would never have found this either.<br /><br />I think you're right - that the HK set was a bootleg (the awful subtitles, varying aspect ratios) - but their packaging is so good!<br /><br />But there definitely was an official Japanese DVD release -quite a large boxset, with an episode per DVD, plus a small hardback book of design illustrations. But agian, no English subtitles. <br /><br />There were also a variety of action figures and candy toys as well, plus the brilliant soundtrack (with a bonus PS2 game CD). <br /><br />Let me know if you find any books/guides though.Mark Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744056312268440003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-23677144662487891552009-12-09T22:00:24.105+00:002009-12-09T22:00:24.105+00:00This is the first I've heard of this show, and...This is the first I've heard of this show, and I'm desperate to see it! The Giant Robo anime is one of my favorites, and I've recently become embroiled in Japanese tokusatsu movies and tv series, mainly from the '60s and '70s...<br />My usual sites (DDDhouse, HKflix, Yesasia) are of no help in locating this series--and the little "A" in the lower left of the cover looks suspiciously similar to the logo of a company that put out lots of bootleg anime early in this decade. Are you certain there has been an official Japanese &/or Hong Kong release of this title? And if you have any information that might point me toward my own copy, I'd very much appreciate it!<br />Thanks for the review and for maintaining your site,<br />-Jesse S.Jesse Stanowskinoreply@blogger.com
