RECORD OF LODOSS WAR classic OVA & TV series & UROTSUKIDOJI series rescued!!

RECORD OF LODOSS WAR has been rescued from being Out of Print in the US!! Still kicking their anime oldskool, distro company Media Blasters has relicensed former anime giant CPM's fallen property after bankruptcy. Fans who missed out on both of CPM's OVA & TV releases of this series on DVD years ago can rejoice as the both the OVA & TV series will be coming back to US store shelves!! (date TBA) It's basically the Dungeons & Dragons of anime & the OVA series is one of my personal all time favorite anime series!!


Also fans of the CPM's Anime 18 cult classic Urotsukidoji: Legend Of The Overfiend (the hentai in the US that started it all) will also be able to get the blood rushing again as Media Blasters (thru Kitty Media) have relicensed the title & will be rereleasing it in both OVA (The Complete 1st series) & Movie formats to dvd come 5/18/2010!!
This erotic masterpiece animation quality is still amongst the best from Japan's 80's classics!

GI JOE '87 Animated MOVIE hits BLU-RAY in 2010!!

According to Shout Factory master Brian Ward (Twitter)!

"Looks like the print's in excellent condition, so you can expect G.I. Joe: The Movie to hit Blu-ray this year. Already working on bonus materials."

-Brian

My note:
This is great news, as the original Rhino dvd had lots of video quality problems. I picked it up a couple years ago & digitization, lacing, color bleeds, ect. are all present. Other than ADV's Battle Angel it's one of sadest pro-animation transfers I have ever scene in digital format, & basically looks like it was made when dvd technology was new. I'm glad that Shout! seems to have a better print for their BD release. I will be happy to make the upgrade... Just the opening sequence alone is worth it!!
