Release
The Japanese release was handled by Toho, who was also responsible for the initial English dub, also known as the JAL dub or the HK dub produced in 1978, and was shown on JAL Airline flights. The English dub was also released to several markets in Europe, and was also screened at least once theatrically in the United States. The second English dub, handled by Streamline Pictures, was released to home video by Orion Home Video in late April 1995. It was later released on DVD by Image Entertainment in 1998, but without the Japanese language track and under the name The Mystery of Mamo. The third English dub, which has never been released in the US, was created and released on home video in the UK by Manga Entertainment, Ltd. in 1996 and renamed Secret of Mamo. The fourth dub was created by Fuse Entertainment and released to DVD by Pioneer Entertainment (now Geneon Universal Entertainment) in 2003 as The Secret of Mamo. This release was duplicated for Madman Entertainment's DVD release for Australia and New Zealand, and for Manga Entertainment's DVD release for the UK.
In 2012, TMS Entertainment began streaming the Geneon dub of the movie on Hulu. In 2012, Discotek Media announced they will re-release The Mystery of Mamo on DVD in the US on February 26, 2013 with all four English dubs, including a reconstruction of the 1978 English dub.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
