Not sure how new this news is, but I just found out GaoGaiGar is getting a blu-ray remaster:

Maybe Bandai is finally going to release all those SRC GGG figures they showed off years ago.

While I find the idea amusing I wish they'd translate something actually good instead.

I imagine that Ginguiser's one of those shows that's just kind of boring once you get past the silly transformation sequence.

I watched the whole of the first episode and would never actually deliberately watch any more.

Personally I think it will either become boring, or they'll run out of regular crazy ideas early on and just get really, deeply and worringly insane in that way only cheap 70s anime can.

Are there even many good things that need translating at this point? The only things i can think of that ive wanted to watch but couldn't due to lack of translation are Great Mazinger and Jewelpet Magical Change, which i have on good authority are both profound pieces of art.

There are tons of japanese live action shows and batsu games that are untranslated i suppose.

I've always been a little curious about Goshogun, tho at this point the well is kinda running dry and there are more old non-mecha shows that could use some fansub love.

The Goshogun movie is super weird, it's the sequel to a mecha show that doesn't have any mecha in it.

I reckon there's still quite a number of solid mech shows that either haven't been started or only got a bit early on years ago---even more for non-mech shows. There's just only so many groups taking a crack at one thing or another these days, especially when you get to the older shows.

Can't say I expected original Dai King to get licensed though, so there's ample cause for optimism in general!

If there's any show that deserves to have a completely uncleaned mechanical translation it's Ginguiser.

That's so cheap they couldn't even afford sound effects for half the stuff going on. And the lips are clearly out of sync with the speech. And not even by a split second, but by several seconds in some cases. Which would be bad even by foreign dub standards, nevermind original dub. Or else Youtube is just running it out of sync on me for some reason.

Regardless Dragonar and about half the Braves franchise still need subs at the very least. Most of the Eldran franchise still needs a good sub too as far as I'm aware. There's probably other stuff too.

Wow, looks like it comes with a lot of cool extras. Cast interviews, audio commentary, and some of the scenes from the Playstation game. Unfortunately, even if I was crazy enough to buy this, I wouldn't be able to understand any of that :v:

The big problem with GaoGaiGar is that it isnt enough like GaoGaiGar.

edit: GaoGaiGar makes GaoGaiGar look like GaoGaiGar.

Just watched episode 48 of Dougram. Dang, mecha animes used to be different. The Dougram crew just massacres 20 people in a totally lop-sided battle, and are all like, dang, wish that had gone down differently. Nowadays a giant robot pilot kills like three people in the whole series, max.

It's a show that meanders a lot. It has its moments but it's an okay 24 episode show that could have been good at 12. Also the show is a lot more entertaining before Gorg enters the picture.
