The HD remastering of all 56 episodes was achieved by scanning the HD negatives from the negative films, resulting in an unprecedented high quality Blu-ray release! The enclosed bonus commentary includes a special interview with Ippei Kuri, who planned and designed the characters for the series. The series is still very popular even 40 years after its first broadcast, and a new "MUTEKING THE DANCING HERO" is currently being broadcast from October 2021.
