Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs DVD

[Yohsho]

Ha! I'm not the only person who still remembers saber rider Jeez what's up with the lame selection of episodes and I wouldn't mind see the original version of it other than the edited YTV stuff.

I remember waking up early Sunday morning to watch the first episode of Sabre Rider, to see if it was any good. I started taping them all thereafter, but they never repeated that series premier and I only ever saw it that one time.

Now that I'm reading more about the series, I'm not too unhappy that in the changes they made to the show, the new creators made it more of a team show instead of all Fireball.

Gee I don't remember this show at all.

I gotta say it looks damn sweet though, I really want to check out a few episodes.

Germany gets all the good stuff. They had a full DVD set release awhile back with great art.

Dale Shacker, the composer of Saber Rider also released two CDs of the Saber Rider Soundtrack including Japanese music and some hilarious modern remixes, homages, and covers by German bands

Those Germans really love their Saber Rider.

I'm assuming some of you were also on that list that WEP e-mailed out telling you guys about these discs. $29 for a 2 disc set of wierdly put together episodes is a little much, but I supposed if this will help convince them to release a full set in English, I will have no choice but to buy it.

The only other option is a 4-episode set released in England that actually has the episodes in order but it was a 1-shot.

DAMN!! I remember this cartoon! Only a little though. I was more of a fan of The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.

April was such a hottie back in those days when the pickings were slim.

Yes... I think I'll be cutting back on the curry for a while...

(That was some seriously impressive playing though)

I remember Saber Rider well and it rocked! It aired at 3:30 in the Bay Area on Channel 26 in the late 80's. What I'd like to see is an official US DVD release the same way World Events/Anime Works put out the Voltron DVD's.

"STEED!"

Jesse Blue was awesome. His variable space craft/armor was pretty cool at the time too. I remember he kicked Colt's ass with it on the moon or something like that

thanks so much for that pic!! Thats my fav mech of the show!! wonder if there are any toys/model kits of it?

and yes i remember Saber Rider, and i too watched the "butchered" version. Really liked it though and would like to watch the original version too. was searching for this on BT but cant find any

Heard that they did additional animation such as April getting a mech horse which was not in the original. Wonder why they like to mess with stories like that? Alot of animation got butchered during that period... weird mentality.

For this show it's called "American kids can't identify with the non-American as the main character, we must re-tool the show to make the American the star and superior to his companions"
