Orphan presents the first English version of *AWOL Compression Remix*, the abridged and re-eidted OVA version of the deservedly forgotten 1998 TV series, *AWOL*. The abridgement eliminates about a third of the TV series and turns a notoriously pokey show into a reasonably fast-paced sci-fi action thriller. Terrorists! Mad hackers! Stoic special squad leaders! The fate of Earth at stake! And lots and lots of explosions!

At one point I had two LD players and I loved the warm analogue video on a 36" 'flat-screen' Toshiba CRT TV with overscan. Lovely quality. Read your article on Domesday player... fascinating. Still got a pristine (bought shrink-wrapped in London from a collector) of Tetsuwan Atom LD set very nice. Also original Star Wars Trilogy LD set.
Thanks for your work. Hadn't heard of AWOL. Interesting read at http://landofobscusion.blogspot.com/2014/08/awol-compression-re-mix-not-quite-anime.html
Thank you. Your releases are awesome. Your gift of English translations for rare older anime that have never been released before is truly a miracle for anime collectors and fans.
Also, request: Tabi (1973) - movie - 12 mins
"Surreal cutout (kiri-gami) animation following a young girl's physical journey, which is also an inner voyage through which she will learn all the pain and joy of life. She travels to an anonymous Western city, a bizarre dreamscape cluttered with elements from works by Dali, Magritte, de Chirico and Escher. The journey will change her completely but when she returns she will be the only one who knows how she has changed.
(The poem in the film is by Su Tong-Po, a famous Chinese poet)."
