Dubbing History[]
The series was originally licensed by Streamline Pictures. In 1994 they released a Perfect Collection VHS that contained all four episodes of the series on one tape.
In 2000, the series was licensed by Geneon Entertainment. They produced a new English dub that was directed and localized by Greg Weisman of Gargoyles and Young Justice fame. Weisman even brought in much of the main cast from Gargoyles to do voices in the dub. Homages to Gargoyles were also added for the dub.
Both dubs would also continue into the second OVA series.
