I loved this program as a kid. Love it. This, Astroboy, Gigantor. However what Amazon failed to mention is that it is manufactured on DVD-R discs. The very same discs that you can buy on Amazon for 19 cents for a disc. (If you buy 100) I think they were dead wrong to do this. Shame on amazon. I ordered sets (2) at 69.95. Beyond disappointed. I plan to return both. If this is not a defect I don’t know what is. Save your money! Rating: 1 / 5
I agree with Tvideo on this, that last review is just plain irelevant. If you want to review this product then please review the content (not the discs or artwork or anything else none of us buy it for).
I have to honestly say this was worth the money I paid for it before they lowered the price, I paid full $79.99 and do not regret it at all. They remastered and restored these as best as one can (considering it’s age). If any of you have seen the japanese import DVDs then you can expect the same great quality.
Highly reccomended A++++

Amazon does indeed note that these are in DVD-R format. What this reviewer fails to see is you aren’t paying for blank discs but rather the content. It makes NO differnce if these are DVD-ROM or DVD-R as long as they play.
Getting back to the content (after all that’s what this is about) they did a fantastic, spot on perfect job remastering these classics. The only complaint I have was the disc has some enhanced sound which is fine in 5.1 but doesn’t work well in 2.0, the other discs are all perfect, considering it’s age.
Don’t listen to “picky” people who don’t understand that a digital file (download) or a DVD-R disc is NOT what you’re buying, as long as it plays is all that matters. Rating: 4 / 5
As a kid in the 60’s i remember watching 8th Man, now 40 some yrs later here it is on dvd. I love being able to see this again, the restoration is very good, considering the age of the program, the only drawback is the sound effects, they differ from the original ones, the opening , 8th Man changing and running, I wish they had left them original, if they had i would rate this product a 10 instead of a 9.
