Seeing as it it is Go Nagai’s birthday today, I thought I’d repost this article. Yeah, I’m a lazy opportunist.

I stumbled across a great blog today – Let’s Anime. Run by D Merrill from Ontario, it focuses on what he seems to believe is the golden age of anime, 1960 – 1990, with the aim of bringing some lesser known classics to your attention. Very worth checking out, not only for the great unknown titles you might discover, but also for Mr Merrill’s snappy writing style and to-the point opinion.
I’m not usually someone that indulges too much in nostalgia, especially for the 1980s. But I cannot deny the mounting excitement I’ve been feeling over the last couple of months, knowing that the original Star Fleet/X-Bomber Ｘボンバ TV series was to be finally given an official DVD launch in the UK. One of the reasons I usually avoid nostalgia is the almost inevitable feelings of disappointment that are associated with it – anyone that’s gone back and played a retro video game from around that time only to realise that their rose-tinted spectacles are broken will understand exactly what I mean. The question is does Star Fleet suffer the same fate nearly 30 years later?
