TC Entertainment is digging into their back catalog a bit more with the reveal that they’re bringing Ginga Reppuu Baxingar to Blu-ray. The series is getting two Blu-ray box sets priced at 20,000 yen each that will arrive on April 27th, 2018 and May 25th, 2018 respectively. It looks like these may be upscales based on the wording and coming from what was used for the DVDs which doesn’t look like it’ll offer much hope for an already mediocre at best looking show. Extras for the sets include the previews and clean opening sequences.
Originally airing in 1982 and 1983, the series was directed by Takao Yotsuji based on the series composition by Yu Yamamoto. Kazuo Komatsubara handled the character designs with Kokusai Eigasha handling the production.
Plot Concept: 600 years after Ginga Senpuu Braiger, Jupiter has been destroyed, and many planets have come from it, bringing about more colonization. To combat the increasing lawless activity, Don Diego Condor gathers Billy the Shot, Samanosuke Dodi, Layla Minesato, and Shuteken Radcliffe, a.k.a. J9-II. They pilot Cosmo Bikes, which combine into the robot Baxingar.
