Released alongside Godzilla:
The Series - Mutant Madness, this
DVD is one of three that Sony released for
the 1998 cartoon series. This particular disc
contains episodes What Dreams May Come
(#8), Bird of Paradise (#10) and DeadLoch
(#12). Although not a particularly great release,
the DVD is a marked improvement over the earlier
DVD for the series in regards to both video
and audio quality, although still lacks in
regards to any significant extras. |
Video: |
 |
In contrast to the earlier Godzilla:
The Series - The Monster Wars Trilogy
release, this disc has vastly improved video
quality. There is still noticeable compression
going on and noise during the actual episodes,
outside of the pristine looking intro, but
the colors are vivid and the video certainly
looks sharper in contrast. There are a few
scenes where the color gets over saturated
in the first episode on the disc, What
Dreams May Come, but otherwise the presentation
is fairly decent.
Godzilla: The Series is presented
in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1. |
Audio: |
 |
For the disc, Sony included a two channel
surround track for the three episodes in their
original English language. The two channel
aspect is a little strange given the touted
surround format, but there is a bit of directionality
that make it impressive for a two channel
feed while the track is also devoid of notable
inconsistencies.
The audio can be accompanied by, removable,
English subtitles. |
Extras: |
 |
This DVD release is bare bones. It has three
trailers, but none are relevant for Godzilla
fans and otherwise this disc is void of supplemental
material.
|
Overview: |
 |
Bottom
line, this disc still feels like a tease for
a complete season release on DVD, which at
this point Sony probably has no interest in.
While it tends to retail for more than the
first disc made for the show, Godzilla:
The Series - The Monster Wars Trilogy,
its also an improved DVD release overall. |
