Found an extremely rare and difficult to find anime called Dancougar: Blazing Epilogue. Not a single website has it available for free download, so I had to opt to view on China's equivalent of YT. It's in Japanese only and had Chinese subs. Still, I could understand most of it. This is by far the only anime I know of with cyborg plant monsters, the last boss one being the coolest. If you want, I can post a link here to the website. www.tudou.com/programs/view/cTkKZvrqKTQ/

I want to see this movie, no matter how much of a train wreck it might be. Was it really that bad to hold off a DVD release for four years and counting?

johnny: same here. What pisses me off is that nobody's freaking fansubbed it yet (at least, last time I checked, which was a while ago). Then again it took something like 3 or 4 years after the US release was announced (and the website was put up) for them to release the first volume (unless you count that promo tape).
Man, the Jojo anime release saga was truly sad...I used to frequent the Ohla's Jojo Board and got to hear every excruciating detail. I feel bad for Susan, Super Techno Arts' only employee. She did a damn fine job coordinating everything considering the circumstances (she basically ran everything out of her apartment).
I watched a pretty bad anime this weekend on Netflix called "The Sword for Truth"...and despite how fucking terrible it is I still liked it in a way. It was directed by the late Osamu Dezaki, and was typical of his trashier projects like Golgo 13 (i.e., shitloads of graphic violence and semi-graphic sex scenes, including a lesbian one). My main complaint about it is that it's full of dangling plot threads (thanks to being based on some novel), to the point where there's no resolution to the story.

Unless someone can find a theatrical print of the Phantom Blood movie, it's not going to be fansubbed ever. It was never released on home video, not even in Japan.

I get the impression it bombed really badly. There's only a few reviews on Yahoo Films Japan and they're all rather negative.

Just finished GaoGaiGar. It's pretty much as super as super robot animes can possibly get. The amount of epicness in the second half of the show is beyond recognition. I don't care if they ripped off G Gundam, it was still a thrilling ride for me.

I don't care if they ripped off G Gundam, it was still a thrilling ride for me. People actually believe that? It didn't rip off anything. It just harkens back to 70's super robot shows moreso than the other Braves did, not to mention both shows were Sunrise productions. Not all the way through the series yet, but yeah, it's awesome stuff. Volfogg rules.

Yeah, I like the music it plays when Volfogg is around. The kinda 80s-style action movie-tension one. As crazy as the Zonders are, once the Primevals show up, the scale of utter insanity goes up big time. And just when you think it's over, it's not...

Fine, they didn't TOTALLY rip it off. It's just a tad obvious where they got the idea for the Zonders.

That's assuming that G Gundam was somehow the first to use regenerating monsters, which it wasn't. It's an old as dirt cliche.

Here's a brief order I have come up with in order to answer that question: Nordic mythology some thousands of years ago- Trolls, which a certain someone has now taken me for Greek mythology at about the same time- Hydra, surprised the Greeks came up with this one 1976 Great Mazinger, Getter G, and Grendizer: Great Sea Monster Showdown - Dragonosaurus 1990 Dancougar: Blazing Epilogue - The Dirado. Seriously, anime insanity began with this 1992 Tekkaman Blade - The Radam and Tekkamen 1993 V Gundam - Doggorla. Chinese dragon-like Mobile Armor that could self-repair 1994 G Gundam - Devil Gundam and anything made out of DG Cells Aaaand everything else...
