Well there goes my Otakon guess that Media Blasters would announce the show.

VCI Entertainment has decided to expand into releasing animation.  Their first release will be WEP’s 80′s series Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, which was dubbed/edited from Star Musketeer Bismark (although Saber Rider actually had a few original episodes, same as Voltron).

The show will be released in 15 episode chunks ala Media Blaster’s way of releasing Voltron.

VCI and WEP have put up a Myspace page for the series: Saber Rider Myspace Page.

Tomorrow at the 9am Voltron/Saber Rider panel at Otakon they will be announcing more details for Saber Rider’s DVD release, since FBR has a few people I know running around the convention I will see if I can get anyone on the scene to let everyone know what is going on.
