At 12 years old, i WORSHIPPED this show. The plot was deep and interesting. I can, to this day, still sing the theme song. Very few of my friends recall this show. But, it was wonderful. I long for the day someone revives it. There was no greater excitement than when they finally reached Iscandar to save the earth.
I spent hours drawing my own battleship based space ships. This show was inspiring and beautiful. The characters were three dimensional and you cared what happened to them. I loved the discovery of the wrecked battleship and the process of turning it into a space ship. The love story was fun as well. I was truly upset by the result when they finally reached their goal. I wish this series had carried on. Sadly, at 13, it just seemed to disappear. I have never seen it broadcast since. But, Star Blazers was the highlight of my afternoons when i was a kid. A great TV show, that I would love to see released on DVD. If you own this show, PLEASE RELEASE IT ON DVD!!! There are a LOT of closet fans out there. We are ready to pay $39.95 for the complete collection.
If you can get hold of a copy, WATCH IT! (and tell me where you found it!) This is "Japan-imation" at it's best.
