Robot Carnival/YMMV

• Acceptable Ethnic Targets: While the english dub's thick Japanese accents in the "a Tale of Two Robots" segment drew some criticism (see Giant Mecha below), nobody ever seems to complain about the European villain being an foreigner and a bug-eyed, raving lunatic who's apparently just attacking Japan For the Evulz.
• Gateway Series: Thanks to the Syfy's Japanimation Week.
• Macekre: By none other than Carl Macek himself for the western release.
  • Justified. The reason for the "shuffling of segments" was due to considerations regarding the theatrical exploitation of the film. The various segments were received separately and then subsequently assembled to fill out 2000ft reels. In order to keep the actual distribution of the film manageable the films were arranged to minimize reel changes - otherwise it would have required additional reels and therefore additional reel changes to keep the product in its original order and would have added to the cost of the distribution. The decision was mutually agreed upon between Streamline and A.P.P.P. Co. Regarding the credit sequence and the use of still images - the original production company did not have the proper neutral closing credits available that are required for international distribution, therefore it was mutually decided to create this new closing.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The Franken's Gears segment has some truly stunning lightning effects for pre-CG era.
