Story:

Murdered by criminals, Detective Tobor's body is retrieved by Professor Genius and taken to his laboratory. There, Genius performs an experiment that has failed seven times in the past; Tobor is the latest subject to have his life-force transferred into an android body. For the first time, the experiment is successful. Tobor is reborn as the armor-skinned android 8th Man, able to dash at impossible speeds, as well as shape-shift into other people. He keeps this identity a secret, known only to Genius, and his police boss Chief Fumblethumbs. Even his girlfriend Jenny and friend Skip don't know he's an android. As 8th Man, Tobor fights assorted crime (even bringing his own murderers to justice) to uphold justice and save the innocent.

Moree 8th man - better audio remastering

Reviewed by tvideo, 2008-11-04

The next Volume in the 8th man series actually has many improvments over the previous volume.

Once again the video remastering is perfect, and this time they omitted the newly added "sound effects" (due to fan complaints from the first volume) on the audio while still using 6 channel sourround sound. The audio sounds perfect in either Surround or Stereo.

The trvia is pretty cool where you can learn a lot about the original TV series creators for the both the English and Japanese versions.

Highly reccomended for 8th man fans!
