Magic Knight Rayearth Anime
The TV anime was first licensed for English language release on home video in North America by Anime Works/Media Blasters (following a failed attempt to release an English TV dub by the Japanese anime studio). Media Blasters released the series in various formats before finally releasing remastered editions of Season 1 and Season 2 on DVD in 2010.
On Nov 21, 2014 Discotek Media announced they had licensed the TV series. Discotek released a Blu-Ray Memorial Collection on Jan 31, 2017 and a DVD Complete Collection on Feb 28, 2017. This is the remastered edition with all the Next Episode Previews, Bumpers, Recaps & Omake Endings and many more extras – including the “lost” English pilot mentioned above.
