For those people that remember the Sadan's Tecknoman Dub in the early 90's, Tekkaman Blade will be released by media blasters this year.
FROM ANN :-
He definatly right about this title being long over due for a release. I remember asking this question to my local anime distributor a long time ago.
I remember watching this show 10 years ago on Cheez-TV. I am looking forward to the uncut release. I am glad that media blasters is putting 14-15 episodes per volume.
I am also glad that these older animes are getting remaster. It really makes the difference as I have all ready seen this with older animes such as Iczer 1, Iczer 3 (aka Iczer Reborn) and Hades Project.
Anyways, this is some thing to look forward too.
FROM ANN :-
Quote:AAAAnime has solicited the first volume of Tekkaman Blade (now titled simply Tekkaman) from Media Blasters. The first volume will be released on May 30, for $59.95 (325 minute running time). Tekkaman Blade was previously translated by Saban Entertainment broadcast on North American Television as Teknoman in the mid 90s.FROM ANN :-
Quote:Media Blasters will be releasing the first of three sets of the English dubbed Teknoman on May 30. Each set will be 14-15 episodes and will be "budget priced" at $59.95 (an average of $4.28 per episode).
Teknoman will be the Saban dubbed and edited TV broadcast version of the 1990s. A total of 43 English episodes exist and will be released by Media Blasters.
Due to the editing of the English language version, it wasn't possible for Media Blasters to release a subbed and dubbed version with the same video, so they will be releasing an uncut, sub only Tekkaman Blade later in 2006.
The Tekkaman Blade release will will be a special edition release with remastered video and all the extras from the Japanese LD and DVD sets.
There are 49 Japanese episodes, all of which will be released by Media Blasters.
Lately Media Blasters has been focusing on older titles as well as newer anime. Tekkaman Blade will join the likes of Giant Robo, Master of Mosquiton, Iczer and Saber Marionette R, all of which have recently been released by Media Blasters. Regarding Tekkaman Blade, John Sirabella, CEO of Media Blastersters, stated "Tekkaman Blade is one of the best hand-drawn high-budget robot animes to come out of Tatsunoko Pro studios (famed for Gatchaman, Speed Racer) and its release is long overdue."
Currently release details, date, and pricing for Tekkaman Blade are not yet availabl
