Review title: Another failed GUNDAM release -- what is Bandai thinking?
Product review: It is well documented and established that in the US, English-dubbed anime outsells non-dubbed by at least three or four times. So why does Bandai continue to dump their old GUNDAM material on the US market without dubs (they did the same thing with the original MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM movies on DVD)? The dubs clearly exist [they are available on VHS] so they are only shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing them. How do they expect to attract a new (younger) audience by releasing them in a form that will not sell? (My kids unfortunately won't watch anything in black & white or not dubbed). Note that this short-sighted action is equivalent to releasing DVDs of old TV series and then stripping out all of the original music but without the excuse of "not being able to release the music due to excessive royalty costs (examps- WKRP IN CINCINATTI, THE FUGITIVE, etc". People won't buy them because they "are not what they remember seeing".
