NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!! My favorite American action cartoon ever.

But, only a "best of"? ARRGGHH!!!!!!!!!!! What to do? Buy it to support future releases, or hold out for a season set?

Who's releasing it?

A child of the '80s, I saw many of the cartoons during that time, but I don't think I've ever heard of this one before. But with a title like "The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers," it sounds like one I would have liked. What was it about? Was it a Japanese show dubbed in English?

HOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

What's next?! Might Orbots?!?!?!?!!?!?

[GL2k2]

Orbots, now that brings back memories. Also, wouldn't mind Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs or Bravestarr either. Especially now that Hallmark sold the Filmation library.

But with a title like "The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers," it sounds like one I would have liked. What was it about? Was it a Japanese show dubbed in English?Trust me, if you like sci-fi animation you'll like this show. It's a mix of Star Wars, Blade Runner, The Untouchables, and maybe Indiana Jones. The animation still looks pretty sharp today, the music is excellent, the stories are mostly very solid, and there's lots of great action (the treatment of violence is refreshingly realistic. Many people get shot and a couple of characters actually die).

It was an American cartoon, but it was animated by the Japanese studio TMS. It's basically about a team of four lawmen with special abilities who patrol the universe solving crises and battling the forces of the evil Crown empire.

Damn you, the title made me think it was Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Well, with all due respect, I wouldn't be surprised if you liked it better than Power Rangers. Check it out.
