As for Street Sharks, the Blu-ray version of the series will launch in April 2022, with all 40 episodes of the original series included in the package. In contrast to other iterations, the Discotek release will be an SD-BD video release, meaning that the original standard quality of the show — which is the current highest quality available — will be on the Blu-ray. Discotek released some episode stills to show off the impressive quality, as well.
So fun thing with this one.
The video for MOST of the episodes was pretty fin-tastic.
Which means Street Sharks is going to be an impressive example of SD-BD video.
