More DVDs from Kiseki Films
===========================

Kiseki's mission to bring out their anime back catalogue on DVD is
proceeding apace. A double feature DVD containing 'The Cockpit' and
'Digital Devil' was released this Monday, and two more releases - Macross
II and Gunbuster are planned for 19th March and 23rd April respectively.

The Macross II DVD will be a compilation of the entire series in dubbed
format, and the Gunbuster DVD will be a similar collection, but in
subtitled format. The footage censored from the VHS release of Gunbuster
will not be restored for the DVD, but it will include other non-video
bonus material.
