As a child of the 1980’s, I grew up watching a legendary Japanimation series called “Star Blazers“. It was a very mature cartoon for the time with thought provoking themes and political messages. The arc-based series was an epic adventure of intergalactic proportaions. Soonafter, spiritual successors like Robotech, etc, continued a wave of Anime properties that spawned huge storylines and deep character development.

Even after 30+ years, Star Blazers still has a big fan base. It remains a big reason why I’m a fan of Anime or Japanimation. And thanks to YouTube, past, present and future fans can view all of the episodes.

I recently ordered a DVD set of Star Blazers. It’s going to be a treat watching the entire series again!
