Some Vehicle Voltron episodes appear to have aliasing-type issues. Looks like Universal used the wrong masters there. Two Vehicle Voltron episodes and Fleet Of Doom are of the unremastered version. The compression was not as bad as I feared it would be, but it's most definitely inferior to the Media Blasters DVD. It compliments the artwork nicely and makes it stand out a bit more. Haven't watched any episodes in their entirety yet, but I've skimmed through all the discs. Received the Voltron DVDs a couple of days ago. I don't see Universal releasing them though. Classic Media licensed the Voltron franchise rights from World Events Productions but I'm not sure if that would include GoLion or Dairugger XV. I do wonder what the current situation for GoLion is. I've never seen either show, but it would be interesting if they were released later. Universal should have Voltron Force too, and probably The Third Dimension. Fleet of Doom only looks marginally better than the show, though I understand it was being prepped for Blu-ray at one point? This isn't a set that will replace your previous copies (unless those were truly awful looking) but it's serviceable enough for fans of the show to bare through.Īll episodes and Fleet of Doom have English SDH subtitles. Compression issues are fairly noticeable, even with the discs that only have two episodes. I'm not familiar with previous releases of the show, but this doesn't look like any sort of remaster. The digital masters used for the previous DVD releases from Media Blasters were devoid of those issues, so hopefully the Universal DVD has been sourced from those masters. I hope the DVDs will not be sourced from the digital masters that were used for iTunes and "Voltron '84" on Netflix as those masters were riddled with technical problems such as aliasing, juddering, audio/video speed-ups, incorrect frame rate, on a couple of occassions missing frames of footage, truncated lines, and a bunch of weirds edits. Good to see that according to the back covers of the Lion and Vehicle sets the DVDs will have English SDH, something the previous DVD releases did not have. Voltron: Defender Of The Universe - Vehicle Force Voltron: Defender Of The Universe - Lion Force Voltron: Defender Of The Universe - The Complete Original Series The new Universal DVDs are already listed on Amazon, replete with covers: Good news for those who missed out on the original DVD releases. Wow, wasn't expecting Voltron to get a DVD re-release.
