Noriko Takaya Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Just saw on ANN that a British distributor will be releasing this series in February 2008, with plans on releasing it in North America shortly thereafter. This is good news for fans of the show like myself, as it has never been available for release here in the States. From ANN: The media rights holder and distributor Fabulous Films revealed that it will release the first English DVDs for The Mysterious Cities of Gold adventure series in the United Kingdom in February 2008, with release plans in the United States and Australia afterwards. The European production company DIC and Japan's Studio Pierrot based this 39-episode series about the search for South America's mythical Seven Cities of Gold on The King's Fifth novel from Scott O'Dell (Island of the Blue Dolphins). The series aired widely through the world, including on Japan's NHK in 1982, Nickelodeon in the United States in the late 1980s, Australia's ABC, and the Children's BBC in the United Kingdom.

The Shade Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Being French Canadian, this series has been available for a while in French only audio. Les mystérieuses cités d'or Though, at that price, it's a little hefty for me. Edited October 2, 2007 by The Shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry the lone wolf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I never seen this show before. I'm still waiting for Thunderbirds 2086! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It is a great cartoon for kids. Not sure how well the animation holds up today. I haven't watch it in decades but the story was pretty good. I still remember part of the song. Edit: Try youtube. I just did and there are a few episodes on there.

Ginrai Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I rewatched about half of the show last year. Pretty well-animated for 80's TV standards. Doesn't have crap episodes like Macross does. I'm looking forward to the DVDs. Hopefully it will be the entire show without the cuts made for US TV, hopefully with Japanese audio, French audio, the Japanese and French OP and ED, as well as English stuff.

A tri-lingual DVD I would go for. I guess all we can do is wait & see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
