Transformers: Masterforce DVD

Price: $20 - 22

I confess I haven't watched every single episode of the various Japanese series (one of these days!)  I am happy they've been given a general release in North America, at long last, though so that people who have never experienced them before can (and for those who didn't want to spend a lot of money importing them from overseas). The DVD set here is pretty basic--no English dubbing (I can forgive this though since the existing English dub from Singapore is terrible and it would've cost a decent amount of money for a full voice actor cast. Shout didn't want to spend the money when this was a niche market product and I can understand their reasoning). The video quality is reasonably good, all things considered (I'd seen a lot of old second and third generation video tapes of these episodes and they looked awful by comparison). There isn't a lot in the extras department but hey, the price is right!

Verdict:  Very Good.
