It seems that some of the Best Film &amp; Video releases, Macross in Particular, have no correlation between the cover and the tape type. At least 2 people have mentioned they have SP-mode tapes that just &#8220;Macross&#8221; at the top. It&#8217;s likely this applies to all of the tapes, so take the below with a grain of salt, pending future research<\/strong>. <strong>Still, reach out if you have one of these! The more wrong I am, the more new variants there are to catalog, and that&#8217;s the fun part!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 80s, Celebrity Home Entertainment licensed a number of anime it would distribute under it&#8217;s &#8220;Just for Kids&#8221; banner. While most of these were just that, &#8220;Just for Kids&#8221;, a select few were more adult titles Celebrity would cut dramatically in order to keep with the image of the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seven titles (I&#8217;m aware of) cut this way were the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#cyborg\">Cyborg 009 Legend of the Super Galaxy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#dallos\">Dallos Special<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#dagger\">The Dagger of Kamui<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#locke\">Locke the Superman<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#phoenix\">Phoenix 2772<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#macross\">Superdimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#techno-police\">Techno Police 21C<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, the tiny distributor Best Film &amp; Video would sublicense these titles, and release them uncut (mostly), but they weren&#8217;t exactly clear about this. To add to the mess, they&#8217;d then re-re-release the titles again, this time with slightly different box art, but recorded in EP mode. The UPC, SKU, and often the title would remain unchanged, resulting in a massive mess of tapes containing anime that may or may not be edited, and may or may have been released in the same quality as a TV recording of a football game from 1981. This page is here to (hopefully) make some sense of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any better photos of these tapes, please let me know. There&#8217;s only so much I can do for a blurry, off-angle photo from an Ebay auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like to see info on the titles Best Film &amp; Video distributed for Streamline Picutres as well, head <a href=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/?p=43\">over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Note: Any information with a cross (\u2020) is an educated guess, and could be incorrect. If you do see something incorrect here, let me know!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cyborg\">Cyborg 009: Legend of the Super Galaxy <em>(a.k.a. Defenders of the Vortex)<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrity would chop almost 40 minutes off of this film for their release, renamed to the generic-sounding <em>Defenders of the Vortex<\/em>. Best Film &amp; Video&#8217;s initial release would restore the original title, but the later EP-Mode release would rename it again, this time to simply &#8220;Cyborg 009&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"270\" class=\"wp-image-528\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/defenders-of-the-vortex.jpg\" alt=\"Defenders of the Vortex VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/defenders-of-the-vortex.jpg 700w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/defenders-of-the-vortex-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/defenders-of-the-vortex-569x1024.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"232\" class=\"wp-image-545\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009-legend-of-the-super-galaxy.jpg\" alt=\"Cyborg 009: Legend of the Super Galaxy VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009-legend-of-the-super-galaxy.jpg 314w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009-legend-of-the-super-galaxy-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"274\" class=\"wp-image-530\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009.jpg\" alt=\"Cyborg 009 VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009.jpg 260w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cyborg-009-164x300.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Defenders of the Vortex<\/td><td>Cyborg 009: Legend of the Super Galaxy<\/td><td>Cyborg 009<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>92 min<\/td><td>130 min<\/td><td>130 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP\u2020<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3009<\/td><td>#967<\/td><td>#967<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096734<\/td><td>021442096734<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dallos\">Dallos Special <em>(a.k.a. Battle for Moon Station Dallos)<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to what you may have heard, Celebrity and Best Film &amp; Video never released the Dallos OVA. Instead, they dubbed and released the compilation film <em>Dallos Special<\/em>, renamed to <em>Battle for Moon Station Dallos<\/em>. In an odd move, the releases from Best Film &amp; Video were not uncut, containing the same edits Celebrity had made to their release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best Film &amp; Video&#8217;s two releases of Dallos Special look nearly identical, but there are some ways to tell them apart. The initial SP-mode release has a black sky, the tagline &#8220;A High-Tech Adventure Into The Unknown&#8221;, and the back of the box is colored tan. The later EP-mode release has a navy blue sky, no tagline on the cover, and the back of the box is the same shade of blue as the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"277\" class=\"wp-image-535\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/battle-for-moon-station-dallos.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/battle-for-moon-station-dallos.jpg 793w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/battle-for-moon-station-dallos-163x300.jpg 163w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/battle-for-moon-station-dallos-555x1024.jpg 555w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/battle-for-moon-station-dallos-768x1416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"243\" class=\"wp-image-539\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-sp.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Black Box&quot; Dallos VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-sp.jpg 942w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-sp-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-sp-633x1024.jpg 633w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-sp-768x1242.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"273\" class=\"wp-image-537\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-ep.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Blue Box&quot; Dallos VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-ep.jpg 261w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dallos-ep-165x300.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Battle for Moon Station Dallos<\/td><td>Dallos<\/td><td>Dallos<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>84 min<\/td><td>84 min<\/td><td>84 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3007<\/td><td>#962<\/td><td>#962<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096239<\/td><td>021442096239<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td>Back of box is tan<\/td><td>Back of box is blue<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dagger\">The Dagger of Kamui <em>(a.k.a.

When Best Film &amp; Video got it, they&#8217;d change it to <em>The Blade of Kamui<\/em>. It wouldn&#8217;t become <em>The Dagger of Kamui<\/em> until AnimEigo picked up the film a number of years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as I&#8217;m aware, Kamui was only released once by Best Film &amp; Video. No EP-mode shenanigans this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"267\" class=\"wp-image-548\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/revenge-of-the-ninja-warrior.png\" alt=\"Revenge of the Ninja Warrior VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/revenge-of-the-ninja-warrior.png 381w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/revenge-of-the-ninja-warrior-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"251\" class=\"wp-image-547\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/blade-of-kamui.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/blade-of-kamui.jpg 619w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/blade-of-kamui-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/blade-of-kamui-613x1024.jpg 613w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Revenge of the Ninja Warrior<\/td><td>The Blade of Kamui<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>96 min<\/td><td>133 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3006<\/td><td>#961<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096130<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"locke\">Locke the Superman <em>(a.k.a.

Either they mellowed out, or Best Film &amp; Video never got the memo, as their releases reverted back to the original title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While both of Best Film &amp; Video&#8217;s releases have the same title, it&#8217;s easy to tell them apart. The initial, SP-mode tape has cover with a thick red border around everything. The later EP-mode tape would remove this, giving us a full art cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"228\" class=\"wp-image-543\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superpower.jpg\" alt=\"Locke the Superpower VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superpower.jpg 925w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superpower-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superpower-674x1024.jpg 674w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superpower-768x1167.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"244\" class=\"wp-image-542\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-red.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Red Box&quot; Locke the Superman VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-red.jpg 887w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-red-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-red-629x1024.jpg 629w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-red-768x1250.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"272\" class=\"wp-image-541\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-blue.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Blue Box&quot; Locke the Superman VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-blue.jpg 262w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/locke-the-superman-blue-165x300.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Locke the Superpower<\/td><td>Locke the Superman<\/td><td>Locke the Superman<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>92 min<\/td><td>120 min<\/td><td>120 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP\u2020<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3003<\/td><td>#966<\/td><td>#966<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096635<\/td><td>021442096635<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td>&#8220;Red Border&#8221; cover<\/td><td>&#8220;Full Art&#8221; cover<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"phoenix\">Phoenix 2772 <em>(a.k.a.

The later EP-mode tape is full art on the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"257\" class=\"wp-image-549\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/space-firebird.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/space-firebird.jpg 689w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/space-firebird-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/space-firebird-598x1024.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"247\" class=\"wp-image-550\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Grey Box&quot; Phoenix 2772 VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey.jpg 937w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey-182x300.jpg 182w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey-621x1024.jpg 621w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey-768x1266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-grey-932x1536.jpg 932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"275\" class=\"wp-image-551\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-art.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Full Art&quot; Phoenix 2772 VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-art.jpg 259w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/phoenix-2772-art-164x300.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Space Firebird<\/td><td>Phoenix 2772<\/td><td>Phoenix 2772<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>95 min<\/td><td>121 min<\/td><td>121 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP\u2020<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3004<\/td><td>#968<\/td><td>#968<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096833<\/td><td>021442096833<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td>&#8220;Grey Border&#8221; cover<\/td><td>&#8220;Full Art&#8221; cover<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"macross\">Superdimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? <em>(a.k.a.

(or simply Macross DYRL) is a legendary anime film that has been stuck in legal battles on both sides of the pacific for decades. To date, the releases from Celebrity and Best Film &amp; Video are the only official releases the film ever got in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrity&#8217;s initial, heavily edited release uses the clunky titl<em>e of Macross in Clash of the Bionoids<\/em>. When Best Film &amp; Video took over, they switched to <em>Superdimensional Fortress Macross,<\/em> which was the &#8220;official&#8221; English title for the film in Japan. Their later EP-mode re-release shortens this to just <em>Macross<\/em> on the box, but <em>Superdimensional Fortress Macross<\/em> is still printed on the tape, for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"269\" class=\"wp-image-525\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/clash-of-the-bionoids.jpg\" alt=\"Macross in Clash of the Bionoids VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/clash-of-the-bionoids.jpg 836w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/clash-of-the-bionoids-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/clash-of-the-bionoids-571x1024.jpg 571w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/clash-of-the-bionoids-768x1378.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"267\" class=\"wp-image-557\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-scaled.jpg 1438w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-768x1367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sd-macross-1150x2048.jpg 1150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"274\" class=\"wp-image-533\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/macross-vhs.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/macross-vhs.jpg 260w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/macross-vhs-164x300.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Macross in Clash of the Bionoids<\/td><td>Superdimensional Fortress Macross<\/td><td>Macross<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>92 min<\/td><td>115 min<\/td><td>115 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 3008<\/td><td>#965<\/td><td>#965<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096536<\/td><td>021442096536<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"techno-police\">Techno Police 21C <em>(a.k.a.

When Best Film &amp; Video got hold of it, they changed the title back to <em>Techno Police 21C<\/em>. Reportedly, this release is less edited than the Celebrity one, but still not fully uncut. I unfortunately cannot verify this as I do not own a copy. Best FIlm &amp; Video&#8217;s EP-mode re-release confusingly goes back simply calling the film <em>Techno Police<\/em>, but has the same edits (or lack thereof) of the previous <em>21C<\/em>-branded tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"272\" class=\"wp-image-554\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-celebrity.jpg\" alt=\"Celebrity\/Just for Kids Techno Police VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-celebrity.jpg 524w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-celebrity-165x300.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"256\" class=\"wp-image-555\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-21c.jpg\" alt=\"Techno Police 21C VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-21c.jpg 566w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-21c-176x300.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"271\" class=\"wp-image-553\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-best.jpg\" alt=\"Best Film &amp; Video Techno Police VHS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-best.jpg 263w, https:\/\/v-i.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/techno-police-best-166x300.jpg 166w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Title<\/strong><\/td><td>Techno Police<\/td><td>Techno Police 21C<\/td><td>Techno Police<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distributor<\/strong><\/td><td>Just for Kids<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><td>Best Film &amp; Video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Length<\/strong><\/td><td>77 min<\/td><td>80 min<\/td><td>80 min<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Uncut?<\/strong><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">No<\/mark><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ffa500\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Partially\u2020<\/mark><\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ffa500\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Partially\u2020<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tape Mode<\/strong><\/td><td>SP<\/td><td>SP\u2020<\/td><td><mark style=\"background-color:#ff4444\" class=\"has-inline-color\">EP<\/mark><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SKU<\/strong><\/td><td>CHE 6097<\/td><td>#964<\/td><td>#964<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>UPC<\/strong><\/td><td><em>N\/A<\/em><\/td><td>021442096437<\/td><td>021442096437<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note: Images on this page have been pulled from all over the internet (or my scanner).
