When you tackle such an endeavor you have a few obstacles on the road ahead of you. First and foremost there is the popularity factor of these series.
Most of the time only the die-hard of the die-hard would really care to take the time to watch a show like Gatchaman. The other challenge involves the dating of the material.
Saint Seiya Dvd Collection 14
Saint Seiya Hades Dvd
If a series looks too old or is too cheesy chances are good that it won't win over a new audience in today's market. Fortunately there has been a resurgence of sorts and more otaku seem to be open to classic animation. While Gatchaman is currently about half way through its cycle, another series from decades past to see some DVD treatment from ADV is Saint Seiya. The anime originally started getting released on digital format back in 2003, but it wasn't until recently that a thinpack collection was released. Of course given the long-running nature of Saint Seiya (1986 to 1991) ADV could only cram 30 episodes out of 114 on to the set. If you start watching the show and think it looks familiar, it's probably because the anime saw very limited release here in America not too long ago in the form of Knights of the Zodiac. It was shown in censored form censored due to the amount of violence and blood, but still garnered a cult following.
