Hmm.. hard to say if it's legit.. the selling price is a bit low. However they did mention the studio that did the US release so it could be legit. Starbirds was adapted from the Japan Daimos movie(TV special?) that aired 2 months after the TV series ended in 1979. It featured the clips from the first and second eps, plus bits and pieces of the last 3 episodes of the Daimos TV series, to summarize the entire show in a 60 minute package. The English dubbed version was decent enough(American accents) but lacked a certain flair that our local GMA7 dub had somehow. www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1295Interesting to note that Animenewsnetwork didn't mention a US DVD release in it's "In the news" comment. But then again their info may not be up to date. Gold

a lot of sellers in ebay make up names of production companies to make their items look legit, but in actuality, all you get is a burned dvd in a staandard dvd case, the cover or insert can be made with adobe photoshop. one seller in ebay that does that is the one called mondo pop cinema that claims to sell original dvds of the force five series.
