Well, the original shows may have been in stereo, but since the
American version didn't keep any of the original audio track I
doubt it is in stereo any more, though of course I have no way to
check this since neither of the stations it's on in this area broadcast
in stereo anyway.  But one shouldn't expect much from
people who buy two shows, related only by the fact that they were
made in consecutive years by the same studio, cut them together
and release the result as one show.  The Go Lion story survived
slightly more intact than the plot of Diarugger XV, but the combination
doesn't make any sense, especially calling two very different robots
by the same name.
