I watched Episode 01 today.

Things of note in the Shout Set

1. The bumpers before and after the episodes have been retained
in Deka unlike previous sets.

2. In the Shout version under the logo it subs as
Super Squadron Series.

3. The TV Asahi name is now seen at the end of the episode.

The DVD on Deka cleaned up great. I'm not seeing too many
problems with the video quality. Sometimes that can be an
issue with 20 year old episodes.

If these are new masters it's as if the episodes are newly
minted. Toei must have cleaned the episodes up before
release. Visually I'm happy with it.

Regardless of what you guys think of the way Shout subbed
Deka get it anyways. It may be enough to bring over Magi. I'll
watch Deka myself as we got a USA set and that's enough for
me.

Bouken thoughts -

They could do an upscale DVD for it. Most DVD players
and TVs run 1080 so picture format not an issue. That's
how Bouken was filmed so I feel like the transition to HD
DVD will be seemless.

I'm with holding judgement till I see an episode.
