Re: The "Anime Space Race" created by Battle Of The Planets




Well, I do know Battle was absolutely iconic and I did see how well it did in ratings. But so far I havent had that "Oh wow this show is HUGE!" flex moment. Like Voltron sold all those those and defined a generation and was a number one hit, but it never occurred to me just how huge until I saw ...

Re: The "Anime Space Race" created by Battle Of The Planets


Hi Cure DragonEagle,


Battle Of The Planets was an iconic show but one of the biggest legacies it has that hasnt been brought up is the "Anime Space Race" it created. When it aired, at the red hot heat of Star Wars it created a bigger demand for outer space shows in the USA. The biggest of these ...

Re: The "Anime Space Race" created by Battle Of The Planets


Technically we could argue it did have to do with outer space to a degree. It dealt with an alien entity coming to our planet to take over for their planet. Messing with twins and forcing them to merge, and then hanging out for about 15 or so years waiting for said merged twins to grow up some and ...

Re: Katsuji Mori meets Veronica Taylor


That's great to see, thanks for letting us know!
He seems to have quite a collection of fun jackets. Fans who saw him at the San Diego Comic-Con really liked his Speed Racer and Gatchaman ones. I wonder how many he has...?


I really wish he had met Casey Casem. But he did meet Ronnie Schell ...

He's so precious. I wish he did get to met Casey Casem or any of the other "Dub Ken The Eagle"

Adult Fans at the time of premiere of Battle Of The Planets (1978)

I’m 68 (2024) I was a parent at the time when BOTP was broadcast. It was one of the few cartoons I looked forward to watching with my kids. I did not realize Janet was on it. Introduced and always loved her teenage girl character: Judy of the Jetsons. Was a little too young for her radio stuff, but ...

Re: Art differences between series

Tatsunoko Pro, If I heard correctly, was one of the first studios to REALLY want to be big outside Japan. They really wanted that foreign money.
