Senko Planning's SUPER ROBOT: RED BARON (1973), a 39-episode action-packed tokusatsu series featuring the battles of the titular super robot against the mechanical hordes of the Iron Alliance, is getting a DVD box set treatment from BCI/Eclipse on their Ronin Entertainment label. RED BARON features non-stop action, colorful miniature effects, imaginative production design, and a score by Bob "Gatchaman" Sakuma—released for the first time outside of Japan!
Tapped as a consultant, I heartily recommended RED BARON (and the other two series in the pipeline) to Cliff MacMillan of BCI, and was subsequently contracted to prepare the written supplementary materials for this complete box set, as well as editing the English subtitle scripts. Despite the ad running in the new Wizard magazine, RED BARON will be the second series out of the gate of the three tokusatsu series forthcoming from BCI.
Cliff will be announcing the news officially at Comic Con in San Diego later this month!
