Title: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: austen on Aug 18, 2002 at 11:20 AM: I just wanted to know if "Daimos" & "Voltes V" (the Japanese cartoons shown during the 80s) are available on DVD or VCD.

Post by: Battousai on Aug 18, 2002 at 06:09 PM: Yup, it's available in Astrovision.
They currently have the complete set in one big CD case. I think the price is PhP1,990.
I, too, am looking forward to a DVD release of Voltes V. Sana may Japanese audio para maiba naman pagka-panood ko. Pero I really liked the English dubbed series. ;D

Hi dude!!

So far there's nothing on both titles. The only 70's-80's super robots that have been released on legit DVDs are Go Nagai's "Rocket Punch" robots - namley Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer.

There's a Japanese (R2) boxset of the movies. It's known as the Mazinger Movie Collection. I saw it being sold in Greenhills for P3000. It's a 3 disc set.

Aside from that.. there's been nothing.. unless you're gonna be counting the "other" sources... ;)

Kung official release ay no plans pa kaya inisip kong gumawa ng kopya for personal collections. Di ko pa tapos gawin eh .... kailangan ko pang makakuha nung ibang episodes in original VHS.

I tried converting from VCD but there are pixelations. Mas maganda talaga kung galing VHS.

Post by: wcvmorasa on Dec 28, 2002 at 12:41 AM: I saw several LaserDiscs of Voltes V in a DVD shop in Causeway bay before. I just wasn't able to ask if these were the complete set though..

Most probably it is in its original Japanese language with chines subtitles.

For me, I would still prefer the local dub inspite of its crudeness (especially in the earlier episodes).

I cannot imagine why there's no dvd release on Voltes V when there are dvds available for Mazinger Z and Grendizer. And to think of it, there is a vcd box set available. Maybe in the near future, baka hindi lang available dito sa 'Pinas. Maybe in Japan available na. :)

I'm afraid wala pa rin... but I think Shaider has already been released in Japan as an R2 DVD set.

Post by: nerveblocker on Jan 05, 2003 at 04:31 AM: I think Voltes V and Daimos aren't that popular in Japan as compared to Mazinger Z kaya walang DVD pang ginagawa.

Post by: Mr. Hankey on Aug 07, 2006 at 11:31 PM: Hmm... with original monoaural Japanese audio channel, no English-dubbing audio channel, and no subtitles at all - neither Japanese nor English.

Well... it's good news for Japanese fans of the show, at least. ;D
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: firewired on Aug 08, 2006 at 07:22 AM: If I were the local licencee of Toei, I'd release the new DVD collection here in the Philippines but insert the local english dub and local tagalog dub as alternate tracks. They can also pick up the LD fansubs that have been floating around online for some time.
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: otogi on Aug 08, 2006 at 04:08 PM: Sir Firewired, I sure wish you are. And I'm sure many will patronize it.
Here's still hoping for a brighter future for Voltes V DVD release.

The VCDs were released by Magnavision, so I really can't imagine them going through the effort. :(

I-subcontract mo na lang sa kanila, firewired. I'm sure it'll be a very lucrative top-seller! ;D
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: firewired on Aug 15, 2006 at 05:50 PM: I actually asked them 3 years ago ;D Nothing happened unfortunately since Magna doesn't actually own the rights to the Super Robot shows. Apparently it's still held by the guys who brought them to the Philippines in the seventies.

Post by: Mr. Hankey on Aug 15, 2006 at 06:06 PM: Let's find out who they are, so you can subcontract it from them! ;D

Can you imagine the pride of having original Voltes V DVDs with the PinoyDVD logo on the jacket and discs as the manufacturer? 8)

And with the English track, it'll be an international seller, at that.

;D
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: 2ngaw on Aug 17, 2006 at 11:13 AM: I used to work for the company who owns Voltes V, Daimos, Combattler and most anime shows shown before the Asianovela boom in local tv. The company is called Telesuccess. They were also responsible for the early english dub and the "movie" entitled Voltes V: Liberation. And yes, VV isn't really popular in Japan or US, dito lang sa Pinas.
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: Dowals on Aug 18, 2006 at 10:07 AM: Still my favorite, never did watch the whole series. I saw the 1st episode at youtube & never saw the ending episode, how i wish these were available in DVD. :-\

I remember seeing the movie version (when i was a kid) in a theater in Naga City while vacationing
Title: Re: Are Daimos & Voltes V available on DVD or VCD?
Post by: shouketsu2k4 on Sep 20, 2006 at 12:33 PM: telesuccess and magnavision had plans earlier this year to release voltes v in DVD with japanese, english and tagalog audio but the plans were scrapped. the reason? kasi hindi dvd quality yung english dub and they were only going to use source video from the laserdisc.

so personally, i already own the english dub VCD set of magnavision, the laserdisc set of the original version, and am planning to buy the original dvd this december, okay na sa akin kahit walang DVD na may english dub.

besides, kapag naglabas ng voltes DVD ang magnavision, malulugi lang naman sila, pipiratahin lang yan ng mga pinoy sa us tapos ibebenta nila sa ebay.

i am hoping toei video would complete the trilogy and release daimos on DVD as well since the quality of the VCD set from magnavision is quite lousy.

hi 2ngaw, i am still working for telesuccess in the "video" department. hope you and the rest of the gang are doing well.

Post by: shouketsu2k4 on Sep 20, 2006 at 01:55 PM: sa asia, pinakapopular sya sa pilipinas, popular din syempre sa japan pero hindi gaano. sikat din sa indonesia. the popular voltes v website by "ivan chen" is indonesian based. sa europe naman, it's also popular but mostly sa italy. madaming super robot anime na pinalabas sa italy, dinub lahat in italian and they all came out in original home video over there.

I'm just new here. Just like to know if the Voltes V VCD (or Daimos) is still available at ASTROVISION. I'm in Canada, and I'll be asking a friend to buy me one (if still available) and ship it. Thanks a lot!

This would really a top seller on my book and with japanese and english track this would be feasible since the english dubbing was done here in the Philippines.

Post by: raptor on Jul 30, 2011 at 09:30 AM: i know that pirated versions are off-limits in PDVD, but due to rarity and difficulty to secure any original copies of Voltes V, i was able to buy Voltes V DVD (sorry but it's pirated) a couple of years back and quality was very good ... i bought it then when i chance by the DVD's in Makati Cinema Square, and i gave the DVD's to my brother as a B-Day gift, tagal na kasi nyang naghahanap.

after reading this thread, it makes me want to borrow the DVD's and have my personal copy ... hopefully nasa kanya pa
