REMASTERED:star blazers:the comet empire-a trailer.
star blazers was my first introduction to japanimation,and the japanese style of storytelling,calling it a protracted style is an under-statement.it was this serial style that i became a huge fan.
the animation was like nothing i had ever seen,disney was all i knew.
this is the show where critics had to create a new word just to describe it....anime.
i used to run home from the bus stop just to see the next installment.
you can have your "voltron",your "battle of the planets"..
"star blazers" was the first.and while the storyline contained some regrettable campy japanese aspects,the story was rich,had depth of character and for the first time in my young life...took its sci-fi seriously.
since it came out in the 70's,(yeah yeah..im dating myself)
some of you may not remember this show.while i do not mean to diss thundercats,he-man,robo-tech etc etc.
they would not ever have existed if not for star blazers.
"the comet empire" was the second in a trilogy of stories concerning the space-battleship yamato,the first being "quest for iscandar".
there was a third but i never saw it.
