Let's talk about this great '82 anime.
>>287559391I prefer the '82 anime's Turtle over the manga's
>>287559391you first
>>287559391We Can Remember It for You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick (Total Recall with Arnold Screw your Freedom Schwarzenegger )
>>287559391You really get what Terasawa meant by Cobra being a space fantasy when you get to the genie episode. Fun series, but a lot more bizarre than you might expect going in.
>>287559391Crystal Boy or whatever his name is was an amazing villainOr at least he had an amazing introduction, with that laser blast bouncing right through him
It was a different time.
wasn't there a recent leak that cobra is getting a new anime or something
>>287559391It's decent. 7/10. It's let down by the fact that enemies get hyped and then defeated instantly. The only really cool fight sequence was agaisnt Crystal Boy, because there were some twists and turns. The worst one is where they introduce some cop who also has a psycho gun arm, and he's like the inverse of Cobra, and instead of becoming a recurring antagonist, Cobra kills him with a single punch at the end of an episode. I get that it's episodic, but at least do a two parter type thing for a guy like that, if you're going to spend most of an episode hyping him up. Episodic doesn't mean a guy can't come back.
>>287559674Crystal Bowiehe's a david bowie reference
>>287560284I was never sure. He's a boy (man, guy, whatever), and he has a crystal body. What aspect of David Bowie is he referencing?
>>287560284I guess the subtitles for my scandi DVD boxset got it wrong, then
Is the series on youtube yet?
>>287560330he's a mix of bowie's Screaming Lord Byron persona and Ogun Bat
>>287559391>Out of nowhere, the big boss is revealed to be Adolf Hitler's body entombed in space and Cobra acts like he had some inkling that was the caseWhat were they thinking
>>287561008Wouldn't the hologram not be able to show what's under the skirt also why is the robo chick envious?
>>287561717>roboshe's human, but had to get near full body prostheses after her nearly dying. now she can't have sex and cobra getting horny over every other woman but her just rubs salt into the wound
>>287559391I only torrented this cause Sakakibara is in a prominent role.
>>287561008How is this version though? Is it better than the older anime?
>>287559391It was very entertaining when he was just regaining his memories and skills, and it became a lot less entertaining once he was fully overpowered and overskilled.
>>287559391It's greatNice chatting
>>287561984More of the same. Not better or much worse.
