Exosquad coming to DVD!!!!!!!!!!

Are there any other details on the release? Have any other sources confirmed this other than Wikipedia? It's too early for April fools. If and when they release this show I hope it's a quality release and it sells well enough to release the whole show.

I hope it's a quality release too...I've had some issues with the way Universal cuts corners on their non motion picture dvds...both my sets of seaQuest, for example, have some SEVERE "ghosting" problems in places.

That's great and all but I want something to add to my DVD collection, the show has been floating around the internet for years. I'm just worried something will be screwed up about the release, so the fans won't buy and we'll end up with yet another incomplete vintage cartoon release, sometimes I think companies don't realize they are marketing products to people who are picky about quality as opposed to a more casual viewer that doesn't care.
 
Awesome. I really loved Exo-squad, it's one of the few american animated shows that actually follow a linear storyline structure from start to finish and tell a story.

I just wish the last episode hadn't ended up that strange cliffhanger that never got resolved.
 
If only they could replace the awful Akom animation with something competent. I mean, honestly, it was a well-written show, but sometimes it was just so hard to look at. And even aside from the crude, sloppy animation, the Korean animators were shamefully inept about research. The writers would make use of real-life Solar-System locations like Olympus Mons and Enceladus, but instead of bothering to find out what they actually look like, the artist just made up random nonsense, like an Enceladus that was a rectangular slab of rock floating in space and an Olympus Mons that was a giant vertical needle instead of a very broad shield volcano.

The other thing that kept me from really enjoying this show was that mechanical whirring sound effect they used every single time one of the exosuits moved one of its joints. I got so sick of hearing that same sound over and over and over and over...
 
on the one hand, as a kid I liked ExoSquad. It actually told a linear, start-to-finish storyline, and was *fairly* realistic (not as much as Wing Commander: Academy)


on the other hand, it's already all online like hulu or whatever. The special features would have to be good.

On the other hand...as I've matured, I realized how the show is focused on the stereotypical story of the USA and the European theater in World War II; the Battle of Venus is their D-Day, complete with a "Battle of the Bulge" Neo-Sapien counter-attack.

That's actually what most americans think of world war II, so I guess they were pandering to the audience.

But we kind of ignore that it was really *Russia* that defeated Nazi Germany, and the western powers basically "helped" (yeah, Speer said they did consider the bombing runs to be effectively a "second front", but who are we kidding...) and that's not even considering the Second Sino-Japanese War. World War II was bigger than just this.

It had its own stilted charm, what you'd want out of a kid's saturday morning cartoon show when you're a kid.

(sigh) so much has gone. No good stuff anymore.

Well it was a descent show, and more power to them.
