While we do continue to hope for a Blu-ray edition someday, in the meantime we can’t help but to recommend the Birdy the Mighty: Decode, The Complete Series S.A.V.E. enough. The series, an updated version of a property for a couple of decades ago, now has the whole thing in one package for $20 on Amazon where you get a two season show for dirty cheap with great looking animation and some fun science fiction. FUNimation is showing off the release and its dub a bit more this week with the addition of three new clips. Check ’em out and see if it’s up your alley.
Plot concept: Birdy is a jaw-dropping, pin-up sensation with a secret. Under cover of darkness, this dream girl becomes a bad guy’s worst nightmare. Birdy dons her crime-fighting costume and hits the street as a lethal, interstellar federation agent charged with nailing the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy. Her latest case involves a gang of extraterrestrial terrorists and a stolen space weapon that could nuke every living thing on Earth. Birdy’s got the moves to stop them dead in their tracks, but there’s one big problem: she’s got a nasty habit of going berserk, and somebody always gets hurt. Yeah, Birdy may be dreamy, but she’s also the only thing more dangerous than the bad guys.
