There are atandarfs to maintain.

I doubt it'll be touched up any differently from the Rhino version since the video source originates from Japan instead of the U.S.ScottyP wrote:If it's remastered/touched up/has bonus content, ok. If not, my Rhino set is good.

And since Hasbro was content with having Rhino release the flawed footage of the U.S. version on DVD, I doubt their stance on this has changed. As Hasbro likely only owns the English version, I can't see them reaching out to Japan for the better masters of the Japanese version for this when they already have a version they figured was adequate enough to air on TV/release on DVD the first time around and likely deem acceptable now still.

See, I know this, but I Want To Believe that otherwise could happen.

Based on past experiences of Hasbro and Shout! Factory, it'll most likely be the exact same flawed animation from the original broadcast of the English version.YRQRM0 wrote:Yeah, I'm not familiar with the terms, but if this is the version with the most finished animation, then I definitely want it!

Even though Garry and David only wanted to talk about Beast Wars (a bit of ReBoot) despite their supposing to have been there for Armada's 10th anniversary.YRQRM0 wrote:Will buy if it's the better animation, may buy anyways. This would've been an awesome thing to get signed at Botcon 2012.

It's probably too expensive to try and get the Japanese audio so that leaves interviews with the voice actors, last time they did that it was roundtables that were less about the shows and more about the individual actors.

I can think of a lot! Cost aside, there's plenty of ideas:
- Galleries of Dreamwave's Armada MTMTE Profiles
- Japanese Audio w/ subs
- Japanese openings/endings
- Toy advertisements
- VA and Production crew commentary
- Hasbro team commentary (they'd certainly have some fun stuff)
- Pre-production art/stills/prototype images
- A pack-in Minicon (wishful thinking, I know)
- Even a "marathon version" of the show without the intro and ending to each episode would be fun
- There was also a tie-in game and comic, some of those creators may have contributions.
There are obviously challenges to several of these things, as you've pointed out, but just the straight re-release of the series feels lazy to me. I want to support Shout, but I just can't in this instance.Sabrblade wrote:Even though Garry and David only wanted to talk about Beast Wars (a bit of ReBoot) despite their supposing to have been there for Armada's 10th anniversary.
That panel was a trainwreck, but mostly because of dumb audience questions. Very disappointed in it.
