Home media release

English

The series was originally licensed for home video release in North America by Illumitoon Entertainment in 2006,[8] who released only two volumes on bilingual DVD in 2007.[9] [10] All further volumes were canceled when their distribution deal with Westlake Entertainment fell through.[11] S'more Entertainment announced on January 16, 2012 that they would release the series with English subtitles as well as dubbed versions on DVD on April 10 of the same year.[12] [13] This release however, lacked an English subtitle track. Despite a fully translated script being present on a PDF file on disc 4 and indications on the box and in the pre-release information that there would be a subtitle track.[14] S'more Entertainment released a statement claiming the packaging was wrong, and that there was never an intention to subtitle the release due to costs.[15] In August 2018, Discotek Media announced their licensing of the series and released an SD Blu-ray disc set of all 76 episodes on January 28, 2020.[16] [17]
