Let me preface this review with a brief statement that I have been a fan of Tekkaman Blade since I first saw Teknoman (The US version) back in the 90s. As such, I’d been hoping for a release of it in pretty much any format.

Tekkaman Blade: Collection 1 features the first 16 episodes of the series, introducing D-Boy (Blade or Slade in the English versions), and the team of Space Knights he allies himself with. In the midst of an alien invasion, D-Boy alone has the ability to fight the Radam (Venomoids in the English versions) by turning into Tekkaman Blade. But while Blade is not alone, he is the sole Tekkaman who fights for humanity–The Tekkamen are in service of the Radam. D-Boy himself is a man who claims no memory of his past, not even his name (D-Boy stands for Dangerous Boy, a name given to him by the distrustful Noal), but is the only one with knowledge of the Radam threat. He is considered a traitor to the Radam and a weapon by General Colbert. The Leader of the Space Knights, Heinrich von Freeman protects blade from the machinations of Colbert, while the other Space Knights reach out to them. D-Boy is cold, convinced none of them can help him in his mission against the Radam, but the Space Knights are persistant in their attempts to make him more than just a weapon–But a friend.

I own a prior release of this series which contains both the International Dub and Japanese versions (There are two dubs; one is a US dub in which D-Boy is called “Slade,” and the International version with a few different voice actors, and D-Boy is instead named “Blade.”), but the picture quality is pretty awful. The sound is similarly bad, and the subtitles are actually so inaccurate as to make parts of the dialogue totally worthless, impossible to understand.

Similarly, there was an official US release of Teknoman, which is also the International Dub. It sounds like it is exactly the same as the one released in Japan, which is of poor sound quality. Sadly, that may be the best we can get for Teknoman.

As for Tekkaman Blade, this release is significantly better. The graphics are dated, but the transfer is as close to flawless as I can imagine, and the audio is crisp and clear. The subtitles, while there are a few places in which the word choice is dodgy, are quite accurate and make sense. There should be no question about the actual quality of this version.

Collection One features bonus features, including: The intro and closing scenes without any text, a brief history of Tekkaman Blade (A featurette in Japanese which details some of the translation between the original series, Tekkaman the Space Knight and Tekkaman Blade), and one of three OVAs released between Tekkaman Blade and the Tekkaman Blade 2 OVA. This OVA, Twin Blood, features a different version of Blade’s first encounter with Tekkaman Evil (Saber in the English versions). It has little to do with the actual series, as Blade and Evil are no longer strictly mecha, but biological mutants of some sort, but it’s interesting to see, nontheless.

I am not an Anime fan; Tekkaman Blade and Tekkaman Blade 2 comprise half of my anime collection. However, I recommend this to both anime fans and non-fans. There are some differences from the US version, if that’s the one you were first exposed to (As I was), but the story is better, not worse for this.

This version of Tekkaman Blade is simply the best! The video and audio quality is far better than Tekkaman Blade Ebay’s version. The subtitles are very good and the special features have also subtitles. So if you don’t know which version should buy, I recommend getting this one, especially if you are a tekkaman blade fan.
