It’ll feature the full fourteen episode run of the series on a single disc in its original Japanese language only and as of this writing has not listed any extras with it yet.
The property was originally licensed in North America by Pioneer Entertainment and saw a VHS release in 2000 and then a DVD release in 2003.

Gordon Baer as Hiroshi Rara, Georgette Rose as Mitsuki Sanada, Katie Ashley as D, Sparky Thornton as Ken Senada, and Wendee Lee as Mitsuki Rara.
Plot Concept: Kazuki Yotsuga is your regular average nerd in high-school, except he isn’t smart. He has this website which relates to his visions that only he can see. His visions are about robots who keep fighting each other battle after battle. One day he is sent to a “parallel world” where these visions exist and he joins a company to fight back against the devious RaRa, who want to take over the world.
