Does anyone know anything about this? Has it ever been translated or subtitled? If not, we're curious of finding other better copies, as well as the history behind it.



It aired on FOX (or was it WB?) in 1999-2000 as Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (and in english!) I TiVo'd all off them when they aired and transfered them to SVCD (I had a Amoisonic SVCD/VCD recorder) but I gave away all my VCD/SVCD a few years back, I THINK my brother has the official U.S. DVD set. You can get them on Amazon.com



I believe you're thinking of the US CG series.
