Yamato 2199
My favorite cartoon from elementary school days, above all, was Star Blazers. I would willingly get up every morning at 6am to watch it. I would even use my tape recorder to get audio copies of the show, and I would draw it incessantly (flashback illustrations forthcoming). I've spent the greater part of my adult life collecting everything of the series I can, on DVD, imported books, and domestic comic book form. I am totally thrilled that it's getting a second live in Japan right now. The story is being retold, with 21st century production quality. Check it out.

(smug) I had a cassette of the Japanese Symphony Orchestra performing the theme music, and even got my car to play it (it was the days of Your-door-is-ajar talking cars, so I reprogrammed the EEPROM.) (/smug)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites was the Bio-Booster Armor Guyver series. It was remade as well.
