# Force Five - Danguard Ace (TV and Movie) (WAI)

Famed space opera creator Leiji Matsumoto’s brief foray into the mecha genre, released in North America during the early 1980s as part of the Force Five anthology series. These copies stem from the WAI Productions DVDs, wherein certain scenes have been edited out from the official Force Five version due to the author’s strict religious beliefs . As such, please take this release with a grain of salt. His resyncing of the dub’s audio to official DVD footage was a nice touch though, even with the "grendizer.net" watermark and very mediocre encoding quality. If you happen to have a different release of this dub in your possession, let alone anything else from Force Five, make sure to upload it somewhere and send a link in the comments (a comment on a CollectionDX article about the WAI release mentions the existence of two other DVD sets, one of which was sourced from original broadcasting tapes). Don't know what pieces he edited, but I've still gone ahead and uploaded an original copy of the compilation movie: https://archive.org/details/force-five-danguard-ace-the-movie-vhsrip \[CONTENTS\] - Hand-tuned H.264 encodes, to provide a good balance between file size and visual quality (Rendered in Kdenlive, with a CRF of 20.
