I remember Gigantor and 8th Man being my childhood favorites, and Speed Racer goes without saying. After Star Wars came out in 1977, Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers filled my need for more outer space action. Back then finding a rare Japanese cartoon, usually on an independent TV station, was something special and a real treat.

I still have a Star Blazers cell animation book that I bought in the 80's. Star Blazers was the first anime I remember having a serious ongoing story. "Be Forever Yamoto" was actually released in theaters in my area, even on the big screen the animation still looked amazing. Later, Robotech and MS Gundam took the mature story elements even further, but by then the amine craze had become pretty mainstream.

Tobor (the 8th Man) was 'robot' spelt backwards - when you are a seven year old kid in 1967 Australia, this is bloody mind boggling stuff! As a five-six year old I clearly remember Prince Planet as my favourite show - but then along came Lost in Space, and in 1966 - BATMAN! Each decade of kids has the great memories of the shows that were televised during their childhood, so it's great that we can revisit these gems from the past.

The Gerry and Sylvia Anderson stuff was fantastic and I have a lot of it on DVD now. Fireball XL5 was the TV addiction for 8-year-old boys of those times, like Power Rangers became for my nephew when he was around eight, so of course I had the lunchbox, board game, etc. I've also been a lifelong fan of animation in general, so discovering anime just became part of that for me, not some sort of either-or choice. In fact, I guess it would be fair to say that puppet and stop-motion animation is part of it as well.

"Marine Boy" was not carried by one of the major networks on Saturday morning. It was syndicated and therefore some markets across the country carried it while others did not. I live in central Ohio and "Marine Boy" was carried on Sunday Mornings on our local CBS affiliate and sponsored by Big Boy restaurants. I'd say it lasted a year or two, but no more than that. "Speed Racer" wasn't brought to central Ohio until 1973. There were some places in the country where it had been on six years before. Those are the only two cartoons from this posting I ever saw when I was a kid.

I bought the CDs of the cartoons. What's interesting is that the storylines are very adult oriented so even a grown-up can appreciate what's being said behind the cartoon characters. Theme such as fairness equality treating others equally permeate all of the cartoons. Of course I'm referring to the originals from 1963 to 65 here in the US.

Thank you very much for this video as I have some memories with some of these. I remember watching Speed Racer on television, and that must have been around 1970. Easy to remember that one because the theme music is very good and catchy. Battle of the Planets making its debut on American TV in September of 1978 was great. It was a very welcomed change from a steady Saturday morning diet of Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera. BotP was on weekday mornings before school, and it had, by far the best theme music of any animated series I can remember from my childhood. That's a big deal. Speaking of theme music, although I did not watch it, I just found out that Captain Future had a nice intro theme song.

The English scripts for 8th Man, Prince Planet, The Amazing 3, and Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot were all written by Reuben. These series were dubbed in Florida in a small studio located in the Cuban business district of Miami. Barry, I think we must travel in some of the same circles. In 1996, after reading so many incorrect pieces about 8th Man, in various reference books, I tracked down the original dubbers. Not easy since there were no names/credits on 8th Man. It took quite a long time and was able to talk to Reuben Guberman before he passed away. The dubbing jobs were all non-union gigs that the actors and writers were doing behind the backs of the local unions. I wrote an pretty in depth article about the 8th Man series and about the other anime dubbed by the Florida studio. It's been many years since I spoke with Jerry. At last contact he was living in NJ. Bobbie Byers who supplied the voice of Prince Planet, Bonnie Bunny (Amazing 3), and Johnny Sokko, himself, is still around. I heard from her a few years ago via email.

The "8TH MAN" title was specifically created for American audiences; the theme was by Winston Sharples. Joe Oriolo used several animators from Paramount and Terrytoons to create it {including Ralph Bakshi}.

(Boy, I'm about to show my age!) Seen just about all the animes Fred posted with a few exceptions; The Amazing 3 was never aired in my area. Neither was Captain Harlock, or Captain Future. The Force Five series were only aired as 90-minute movie feature versions on the SHOWTIME and defunct SPOTLIGHT premium cable stations. (my South Jersey area didn't have cable TV period back then.) I stand by Barry I. Grauman, JAPAN's Space Ace never reached the U.S. All the other aforementioned animes (i.e.- Voltron, Robotech, Tranzor Z, etc.) were released on the American TV airwaves "during" the 1980s, not 1980. BRAVO, FREDFLIX!

Thank you for the trip to the past. I wasn't much on watching a lot of these but I never missed an episode of Force Five. I used to get a big kick out how the Mechs would call out their weapons - Shoulder Missiles, Double Sickle, Eye Blaster Rifles, Rainbow Beam, etc. I wish you had included Mazinkaiser (Mazinger Z) one of my favorites. I think there was one called Volta 5 as well.

In school my friend legit built an actual flying saucer from Grandizer using an electric motor and a piece of plastic cut into the shape of the saucer. Frankly it was a very dangerous thing and I'm amazed we didn't cut ourselves.

In the first episode of Astro Boy, the scientist neglects his son and his son dies.( this he created Astro Boy to take his sons place). When I was a kid, the first time I saw it, I cried when he died. I was about 5 years old. Speed Racer was always an afternoon favorite of mine. Our first Independent tv station used to play it every day after school for many years. 📻🙂

Reruns of Speed Racer, Gatchaman/BotP, Starblazers and Capt. Harlock are what I grew up on. "Gaiking" was the name of one of the Shogun Warriors, along with Danguard Ace and Great Mazinga and in their toyline, the manufacturer included a Godzilla, with a flame tongue that could be pushed in and out, by a handle on the back of the head, plus a spring loaded fist, that you could eject, when you push a button on top of the right arm. 😆 Also, on Astro Boy, another japanese anime company brought him back to tv on FOX in the early 2000s, I think, because I remember seeing part of an episode, and he was talking to Dr Tanma (or Tenma, however it's spelled), his creator. Nice pieces of early japanime, thanks Fred.

Excelente. Por fin encontré rastros de una caricatura que jamas creí volver a ver o saber algo de ella: Los 3 espaciales. Lo único que tenia en mi cabeza era la tonadilla del intro, algunas palabras, algo de los personajes y que me parecía genial: obvio tenia 5 años. NI siquiera recordaba el nombre. Fueron buenos recuerdos!!!!

I remember watching Speed Racer I think every kid was in love with Trixi it was one of my fav, Kimba the white loin, Marine Boy I always wished I had his Oxy-Gum. Battle of the Planets was also good. I watched Star Blazers and loved the video game. Thanks for all the great memories.

I remember watching many of these growing up in the early 60's on a UHF Channel out of Philadelphia called Channel 17 I don't remember the call letter but they had a guy on every day after school called Wee Willie Webber who showed many of these cartoons on his show. I do'nt recall ever seeing Space Ace on it though.

As a child of the 60s I remember all of these with the exception of 3. I also remember a few others which were live action shows which were shown in conjunction with these cartoons, particularly in Philly. Wee Willie Webbers Cartoon Corner showed most of these in the 60s and early 70s along with Ultraman and Johnny Socko and his flying robot. On channel 29 there was the Space Giants. Great to think about these again. Oddly, I remeber the words to each show. What a nerd I am...lol

My top five were: 1. Speed Racer 2. Kima 3. Tobar the Eighth Man 4. Astroboy 5. Marine Boy. Honorable mention - Prince Planet. Live Action honorable mention - Ultraman. It's amazing in the Speed Racer opening credits with the song playing, the verse, "He saves your life Speed Racer, he sees it through", but the credits show him pushing a car over the edge of the race course, crashing through the barrier, and over the cliff into the ravine. Very bizarre. I was a young child and was able to see these shows in syndication, especially on the Wee Willie Webber show in the Philadelphia, PA area. As dated as these shows are now, they're still better than the US cartoons of today, IMO. I think it's fascinating the "Simpsons" has lasted 30 years. "The Flintstones" is still the best cartoon even though it's a parody/spoof of the "Honeymooners". Today's animation is OK. I like Castlevania a lot, but the series finale was just OK.

Wonderfully done, nice to see some pretty crisp copies of the openings. Only thing that would make this better is if the Speed Racer opening was the original logo opening instead of the new (and horrible imo) logo that has been laid over it.
