Star Blazer in America – a tribute
This was brought to my attention by two of my contacts on Facebook who are truly dedicated to classic animes, especially those that arrived in the US in the 1970′s-1980′s. I would say that Star Blazer is for the 30-years old US anime fans what Captain Harlock is for the 30-years old or something French-speaking European anime fan (yes, that’s a pretty long label, but this specification is required by the fact that anime audiences have been as splitted along language and national copyrights lines as any other audiences exposed to program circulated worldwide). Since my eloquence hasn’t been really at its best lately (I’m sick and kind of saturated), I’d like to let someone else explain the meaning of Star Blazer for American TV culture and anime fans.
Listen to Corn Pone Flicks talk about Star Blazer and animes. If isn’t converting you, then I don’t know what will!
[I wish I could embed the video here, but WordPress doesn't like iFrame very much, so, you'll have to jump to the Corn Pone Flicks' Vimeo page to watch it.]
