Funnily enough I started downloading this series (via bittorrent) a couple of days back, and the picture quality was awful to watch.
Very overcompressed (why do people do that?)
So, I'm going to stop downloading it and wait for your version to be released.
Probably for the best. Most copies I see posted online look like rips from the same VHS tape a friend once sent me 7 years ago he obtained from his anime club's library at the Univ. of Texas in Austin. There are times when I only wish I had bothered recording that show back when Nickelodeon had it on in the 80's, but I was still rather too young to comprehend recording something on a VCR than simply playing a tape. If only I had had all 39 episodes in virginal quality from those airings, I'd be a GOD to you people! You know how elusive finding perfect copies of this show in English are.
There seems to be no sign of an official release, and even if there was, there is no guaranttee it would be as good anyway.
Cheers!

Worst I could expect is for some US company to license the original masters from France and have their go at ADR-ing the thing (this would be up Media Blaster's alley since they're already raking in the dough from the Voltron crowd). I believe the original English dub for MCoG (as well as Ulysses 31) were done up in Canada.
Being reminded of the stupid US edited release of "Ulysses 31" that the guys over in the UK have to put up with for their DVD releases (DiC can be suck dicks at times).
