Got this set on Monday for my birthday. It's a pretty amazing package!! Auggie, I gots to agree that I kept wanting to hear the original English voice acting. What's Battle of the Planets without Casey Kasem? So I'll have to skip the English dub and stick with the subs, otherwise it's too jarring.
The prints are really clear and beautiful. Even clearer than I remember of the original BotP TV broadcasts, which I remember being quite muddy.

Happy belated birthday! Well, if you read the review, you know my thoughts... what are yours?

that's enough to make me want to get at least a few volumes. i did enjoy BATTLE, but it was never on regularly enough for me to get a good vibe about it. i knew it was different and cool though.
i did like THE CHAN CLAN though, but heck, i was only 8, and would never have known about dramatic Japanese cartoons- that's a bit of an easy shot, and not entirely fair. i know i would have wacthed GATCHAMAN if given the choice, simply because it was a superhero show.

Got it, loving it. Haven't watched the dubbed version yet, but the clips I saw in one of the extras seemed OK. Not great, but adequate. We'll see.
The extras are sometimes interesting, sometimes not. Nothing really vital, but I think I'll enjoy them all the same (especially the toy commercial).

picked up vol. 1 the other day, very nicely done. it's a good cartoon. it was only $9.99 at Best Buy, and the box was $23, so i figured i'd just by them individually.
i listened to a little of the dub, and that was all it took. i miss Casey.

Volumes 3 and 4 (and the "Collection 2" box) will be coming out in about four weeks... so looking forward to episodes 13-24. Only 81 episodes to go!

wouldn't 20 volumes (of 6 eps each) be 120 then? it'll be less than that, i think (not that i'm picking, i'm just trying to figure out how many discs in the set there will be).
good stuff.
