They made a 3D movie, that was a compilation of some episodes of the TV series, but NEVER got to the exciment of the series. The music, the jokes, the action, the sexy girls...this show had averything.
It is sad that the only thing you see here in the U.S. is the freaking 3D movie. They should put out the TV series on DVD.
The movie wasn't compiled from the series, it was a pretty broad retelling of the first third of the story (the most popular part, the triplet saga).
I'd love to bring the series over, but they want more money than I have and since I'm not in the industry, nobody would want to fork over the cash.
Yeah, this is one of the best animated series period. On top of the great story/action sequences, the art and animation were also just insanely high quality for a 1982 tv series(The same team would outdo themselves considerably with The Mighty Orbots. Shame that show was mediocre but with those visuals I would have liked to have seen it go past it's initial 13 episodes).
The Cobra tv series has finally got one of those HK DVD releases recently. It's clearly come from a VHS source though they're are apparently from official released Jap. vhs tapes and not old tv recordings or anything. Shame it's the only way to see the show on DVD with English subs.
And that subtitle is plain disgrace to this series.
Those smugglers can't make it right.
I kinda thought of correcting the subs myself though...

Hey guys, I am a Japanese who loves COBRA.
Did you see TV series in USA ? When ?
I don't know that COBRA was released in US.
Where can I get HK DVD's COBRA?
The TV series was never shown in the US, but that hasnt stopped some people. Personally I've seen the movie, sega CD game, Matthew Sweet music video and some of the manga.

shareI´ve got the rest of the episodes. To bad they´re dubbed in frence. :(
shareI saw this when i was a kid in the eighties, dubbed to swedish...Thought it was great then and i still do.

Too bad it does not have any english subtitles. I've also found another version on...
www.meganimedvd.com
This one appears to have english subtitles though i do not know the quality of the picture or sound. It says it's the complete series, anybody got more info on that dvd set?
Yeah the DVD set Meganimedvd has the entire series and the English pilot from when they tried to bring it to America. Video quality is ok. It clearly came from VHS tapes but still looks pretty good. Subs are rather messy but could have been much worse. Unless you download the fansubs, it's your best bet for watching Cobra with English subs.
shareI've only just learned of this. I'll see if i can find clips on youtube or if it's available on Netflix.
