15 YEARS LATER - HUNDRENDS OF DOLLARS CHEAPER - COBRA IS FINALLY HERE
I've been waiting 15 years for Space Adventure Cobra and countless emails to Urban Vision pleading with them to release this on DVD. For whatever reasons, they didn't and their license expired. Perhaps the rights got tied up and they were unable to do so. The original VHS release in the US was around 1996 and goes for silly money and I was never going to pay second hand sellers hundreds of dollars even though this valuable movie warrants it.
Fans will be glad to know that Space Adventure Cobra includes the fan favourite Streamline Dub in Stereo, as well as the choice between a Japanese 5.1 or 2.0, depending on your audio equipment and preferences.
The video quality is literally stunning and probably the best anime remastering I've ever seen on DVD. Apparently Discotek got Blu-ray masters from the Japanese domestic release and used these rather than doing a port of the Japanese DVD release. Also the video is progressive scan like all Discotek releases and is in...
Where have you been?
If you are a fan of the golden age of anime. (late 80's early 90's pre-cgi) and haven't seen this movie BUY IT! If you liked Golgo 13/Fist of the North Star/Demon City Shinjuku etc....It is not as violent or rape-y as the previously mentioned titles... but it is about twice as weird. Awesome imagery, tight action, star nipples, if this one doesn't have it, you don't need it!
Classic
A classic sci-fi animation that was fun and witty. A b class movie for a Saturday afternoon. What more can I say.
