News from Japan of a completely new Votoms anime project is long overdue and very exciting. I'm definitely looking forward to whatever Mamoru Oshii is cooking up. BUT...it's only the tip of a VERY large iceberg, which I've been chipping away at for many years:

The Armored Trooper Votoms Hub | Tim Eldred
Armored Trooper Votoms is my favorite mecha anime of all time. It's one of the things that made me who I am today. I participated in its import to the US and various other projects, but never got the ...

Looking for an anime that will fill you with joy and pride for our place in the universe? One that celebrates the inherent goodness and boundless potential of the human race? Well, this one is the opposite of that. My favorite thing about it is that it was only ten episodes.

Almost done slogging through Great Dinosaur War Aizenborg (1977), and ep 37 sort of breaks the 4th wall by taking place at a tokusatsu studio called Monsters Production where an Aizenborg movie is being made. The villains show up and turn it into a real battle...but along the way it gets kinda meta.

Good start to the day. After years of searching, I finally obtained (via Yahoo Japan Auctions) a copy of the extraordinarily rare (and not cheap) "Gekiga Jaws" manga. It first ran in Shonen Champion and got a tankobon in Dec 1977. After I obtain it, I'll make it a LOT less rare at timeldred.com!

If you're in search of a Japanese equivalent to H.R. Pufnstuf, look no further than "Great Dinosaur War Aizenborg" (Tsuburaya, 1977). I generally pick something crazypants to finish out a year with, and this one did not disappoint.

Still slogging my way through Great Dinosaur War Aizenborg (anime/tokusatsu hybrid, 1977). In Ep 26 we get a new female villain, Zobina. The more I look at her, the more questions I have. (Tampering with fan subs is my own coping mechanism for this goofy show.)

I make a deal with myself when I start watching an older anime series; to stay with it to the end no matter how dumb or repetitive it gets. Along the way, I've found that if you can mess around with the fansubs, you can make it a lot more entertaining. Frames from "Great Dinosaur War Aizenborg"...
