5.0 out of 5 stars Great!! But I want a real release FOX., April 3, 2010

This review is from: Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot (MGM Limited Edition Collection) (DVD)

I hope this actually becomes available soon. I ordered it for download
and, after charging me, Amazon informed me that it was not compatible with my Mac. (What century are you guys living in, half the population owns Macs.) Now they are saying a DVD-R release is coming. No regular release? Why? I'll tell you why. Because whoever is in charge of these decisions is probably 25 - 30 years old and has no idea that this Sokko is popular and personally thinks its terrible. The fact that BCI's Ultraman DVD's didn't do as well as hoped may also be a factor. Of
course the the fact that the Ultraman DVD's were of bootleg quality,
and that BCI fed the buyers all sorts of lies explaining why they were so bad, is probably not known to MGM/Fox.
I know that they have good prints of Johnny Sokko. I have seen a couple.
They are not exactly the same as the original broadcast versions, but they were definitely taken from the same prints or inter-negatives
that the originals were.
I really, I really want this. Johnny Sokko, and Ultraman are my favorite show's of all time, and I know a lot of other people who feel the same way.
Why do the keep cheating us?
I'm praying that we don't get cheated by Fox, the way that we got cheated by BCI.

3.0 out of 5 stars Giant Robot, fly!, March 29, 2010

This review is from: Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot (MGM Limited Edition Collection) (DVD)

Here's hoping the picture quality is better than this
shoddy-looking packaging. I was pleased that Warner
has already upgraded their MOD dvd-r releases to look
more like a first-rate release, with original release
artwork that spreads out over the entire package.
These "generic" covers, with their plain text titles
look more like the "home brew" or even pirated variety.
Come on Fox. Don't go cheap on us now!
As for the quality of the actual print used, I will
be surprised if it isn't the same as the Orion VHS prints,
just bumped-up to dvd (heavily pixelated and all).
In Japan (country of origin), this series was completely
remastered, but had no dubbed English audio and was very
expensive! I watched this series on streaming for free on
my Netflix account back in 2008 and it looked terrible!
Pray it is mercifully better than that muddy looking mess!
It is looking like this could cost around $60 (if ever released).
Not impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot return officially to DVD!, March 27, 2010

I'm really happy that Amazon and MGM(The owners of Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot) are officially releasing
this series to dvd. This will be the first time the series has made it officially to dvd here in the United States.
Please give us a reasonable price point-I'd say not more than $30 tops for the entire series(I'd prefer it to be between $19.99-$29.99). Especially when the Ultraman box set for 39 episodes only costs around $10-15!

Thanks Amazon and MGM!

Come Giant Robot!!!!
