Posted 26 May 2015 So, I just finished watching Space Adventure Cobra, and it was such a fun ride. If I had to compare the show to anything else, I'd say it's basically the early 80's precursor to space-western adventure shows like Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy. Cobra tends toward the whacky side, but it does get serious at times. Also, the animation is pretty nice for 1982, with very little stock footage and lots of creative designs. The show's 31 episodes long and I very much recommend it to anyone interested. It's actually uploaded super-legitimately to YouTube, and also available on DVD (which is how I watched it). Also, the opening is fantastic and I will never get tired of it. Here's a playlist of it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx7U8ckdzAikuUQNkEn_psxofpsJNGUtZ Teto likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 Wait that cobra video, it's obviously "vintage" anime but that opening was sooooooooooo cool! newer anime openings are exactly the same but with "upgraded" animation. But honestly this looks like It was a trend setter opening. Like new anime needs to learn to be more original. Update the thematics, not just the graphics!

Posted 26 May 2015 I've started watching Cobra now. I want more old anime. If I could find the whole series of Tiger Mask I'd be watching that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 Well, nevermind Cobra for now then. Only episode 2 was available in the UK. Until I bother sorting out a proxy, I'll have to give it a miss. It's saved to my playlists anyway. Agent Zako likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 I'm super glad I've interested you guys in the show. I didn't consider region locking though, so that sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 I saw one episode of the show, as a grab bag for my anime club. It was pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 I enjoyed the one episode I watched. I want some vintage stuff, as I said. So much of what I've watched it just from mid 2000s onwards. Cobra interests me because I just like space rogue characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 26 May 2015 You should totally try out Space Pirate Captain Harlock then, if you haven't. I've seen the movie Arcadia of My Youth and it is so good. It's a kind of Year One origin story that's not technically in the same canon as the 1978 tv series, but mostly works with it from what I understand. I still have to watch the TV series myself, but thankfully it's on Crunchyroll for whenever I get around to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
