Captain Future (1978–1979)
8/10
The Future is Now
17 June 2020
What!? Just seven reviews (time writing my own) for this excellent sci-fi show!? Compared to many of todays anime, Captain Future and the adventures of his crew are superior in many aspects - excellent characters, very different and fantastic stories in a well composed universe, and still superb visuals. Based on the Captain Future pulp magazine stories of Mort Weisinger and Edmond Hamilton published from 1940 to 1944, Tomoharu Katsumata directed this fine anime. 53 episodes were produced and aired based on some of the stories of the pulp magazine. May rate is seven + one point for nostalgic reasons. If you never watched the show and you like to watch sci-fi anime, put this one pronto on your watchlist.

Note: I watched the German version back then (somewhere in the mid 80s or so), as far as I know there are also French, Italian and Japanese versions, sadly no English dubbed version is available to the day, but there is a Japanese edition available with English subtitles.
