    The STAR BLAZERS thread

    As most of yous know I started a thread a few weeks ago in GB about the model of the Yamato in Legos ...
    The thread tapered into talking about Star Blazers ...
    I was not able to participate because I never seen Star Blazers.

    A good buddy from the Museum sent me some episodes so I know what I was missing.

    I started watching with the attitude that I would probaby not make it past episode-1.

    Well, I wrong .... right now i'm up to episode-12 and still going

    Star Blazers is a great show !!!

    I can't get the theme song out of my head

    BTW, Matt Zimmerman of Thunderbirds ie Alan Tracy ...
    Did he talk for Wildstar's buddy ? (I forgot his name)
    The character's voice really sound like Alan Tracy

      Im amazed that you had never seen it better late then never I guess? I watched this show both series the Quest for Iscandar and The Comet Empire in their initial US syndication Run starting in 1979 or 1980 cant rememeber it used to be on 5 days a week right before I would go to school in the mornings.Brilliant show.I think it was first time I cried watching a cartoon as a kid. it was the episode when Wildstar told Nova he had no siblings to call before the Argo left Earth communication range

          If it was released in the US in 1979 or 1980, I was in highschool by then and already stopped watching cartoons ... unless they were Looney Tunes

              My sister and I used to fight over the time slot- I wanted Star Blazers and she wanted General Hospital. My mom told us to take turns, watcing one every other day. That really doesn't work for either serial shows. It did seem pretty Solomon-like, though.

                          I was addicted to this show around 1979-80 or so. I'd get up and watch every morning at 630 before school. I think it was on TBS at the time. I was really into the linear storyline and the animation where ships really blew up and people really died.

                          I don't know how I'd do watching today, thirty years or so later. I'll check Amazon for used copies and try again. I never saw the third season.

                          I loved the ship that had two wave motion guns, like a double barrelled shotgun. God those are good memories.

                          I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                          If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                              We used to watch it at lunch time when I was in grade 5 or so. I LOVED that show. Haven't seen it since! That and GForce were awesome. Hven't seen that one since either. I wonder if any episodes are on YouTUbe.....

                                  Thats a hell of a great cartoon. When I was younger they started showing Star Blazers after they went through all of the Robotech episodes. I was hooked instantly

                                      The Unedited Japanese Versions of the Episodes are amazing...I don't know if they were ever released in the US like Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) eventually was.

                                      If you like the Episodes, you should watch the 5 Movies for sure...Now those I know were translated for American Release.

                                      Enjoy...Great Stuff...Classic Anime.
