Nozomi Entertainment has announced when the second half of Space Adventure Cobra will be released and it’s certainly worth the wait until May 6th, 2014. The set will bring out the final sixteen episodes of the series with the original Japanese language track and English subtitles. The show has a bit of age to it so extras are minimal with only the original promotional video being available. This 31-episode television adaptation of Cobra originally aired on Japanese television, from October 1982 through May 1983.
The series is being done in litebox form for this 400 minute collection and will be priced at $49.99 with four discs included in the set.
Plot concept: When the buxom blonde bombshell Dominique asks Cobra to infiltrate a Pirate Guild drug ring, how could he possibly say no? However, the drug ring operates under the guise of a popular sport called Rug Ball. It’s a game that combines football and baseball, where killing someone on the opposing team is considered to be a good play!
With the continued disruption of the Pirate Guild’s business, their pursuit for Cobra turns deadly as they hunt him and all he holds dear!
