Discotek Media also once again confirmed that the Complete TV Series will be the Japanese Language version with English subtitles. “We are still working on clearing the Ronin Warriors TV that will be a separate release if cleared.”

And don’t worry I will be posting information about pre-ordering these when the information becomes available. That info will be in a future blog post. 🙂

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers TV Series DVD Release Delayed

by

Discotek Media responded to their release schedule post on Facebook. They have changed the release date for the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers TV series until April. Reasons for the delay are currently unknown.

It is still expected that the TV Series Collection will be the Japanese version of the series only. (Obviously with English subtitles.) There is no further word on any progress with Discotek Media acquiring the license for the Ronin Warriors dub.

YST OVA Collection

According to Discotek Media’s facebook page, the “11 episode OVA DVD Collection” is scheduled to be released on February 24th 2015. There is no word on the TV series set. The TV series release has been delayed. Pre-orders for the OVA set is not yet available, and details on the cost of the collection is not mentioned.

Discotek Media confirmed the OVA DVD Collection will have the Japanese version with English subtitles and the English dub.

Some people are already leaving comments on Discotek’s Facebook post asking about the TV series. If you wish to leave a comment for them as well, please remember to be polite and respectful. We want to keep any association between them and this fandom as positive as possible. Thank you.

Where can I watch “Ronin Warriors”?

by

YouTube. At least until the DVDs for the Japanese version of the TV series comes out in February. (The OVAs DVD release will be Japanese & English.)

I’d highly recommend buying the DVDs when they are finally available for pre-order. The only way we can encourage companies to re-release the DVDs and support this series is through our wallets. If enough people buy the Japanese version of the TV series, hopefully the dub license can be picked up too.

The fandom support from buying the original DVD release years ago caused the OVAs to finally be dubbed after all these years. I think we can surprise them once again. 🙂

Note: YouTube link is for the TV series only. The playlist doesn’t include the OVAs Gaiden (Side-story), Kikoutei Densetsu (Legend of the Inferno Armor), and Message.

Q: Do you know if the warlords have any official song appearances other than just Kamen no shita no namida?

Do you know if the warlords have any official song appearances other than just Kamen no shita no namida? I keep thinking they sang in Best Friends because I swear up and down I hear Nazaa in it O.O Also, congrats on 18 years for souloftheseasons!//

I was under the impression that the Trooper and Mashou voice actors all sang in the Best Friends song. (And the voice actors for the other main characters too.)

This is to the best of my knowledge, and anyone is welcome to confirm or correct me.

Edit:

Per khandri’s reblog post:

A quick check of the liner notes in the CD does indeed list all four Mashou seiyuu as singing in the “Best Friends” song along with most of the rest of the cast.

Thanks khandri!

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers getting a re-release!

YST complete collection YST OVA Collection

News is out that Discotek Media has secured the rights to Yoroiden Samurai Troopers.

The TV series will be released as a collection, but only the Japanese version will be available at this time. Via their Facebook page, “This will be the original version only. If and when we release Ronin Warriors, it will be a separate collection. There are some issues that need to be cleared on the dub.”

The OVAs will also be released as a collection and it will be both subtitled and dubbed. Again via their Facebook page, “This set will have the English dub and the Japanese with English subtitles.”

Expected release date is February 2015.

The announcement doesn’t say, but I assume it’ll be DVD only. If there are any further details about their release, I’ll let you know. I will also let you know when pre-orders are available.
