I still have this in VHS in swedish language... Didn't know there was 31 episode as I thought he would never find his mother... thank god there is Internet nowadays. (Sweden only released 3 or 4 episode, the last one was about the Buddha statue).
@hanchiman yeah, those 4 episodes are like like, so engraved in my memory. Don't know how many times i watched that precious VHS of mine with those =D
Was it in Swedish? Anyways as I watched it not long time ago (well I still have a VHS XD) I realised how the translation really sound ridiculus but in a charming way :D.
What I can find (and from other Swedish people online) said, this is probably the only VHS tape they ever released in Swedish, they mixed and matched the show from different episode I guess, it was. The first very episode, the baseball episode and finally the Buddha statue. It was shown in one whole streak without break or title music.
Actually, Sci-Fi bokhandeln had those episodes on 1 DVD and a second DCD translated by the same people. I don't remember the episodes names, but one had Panda's being kidnapped in one of them.
So at least 3 more episodes dubbed to swedish exist apart from that first VHS.
Thanks, but its not necessary :), but your thoughts count though. After all I have "grown away" from mecha anime ages ago. (I prefer absurd and satirical stuff nowadays).
Hmm... I got the first part on vhs and there they never show this intro at all, just a some annoying song at the end... Ok... Mabye not annoying, I just never liked it
A real bummer.. I actually found a dude in the intenrtz once who sold the whole serries on DVD-rom, TV-rip, but I havenät found him again.. I should have bought it then... 1500 SEk though:/ sry for bad spelling, I',m so fucking drunk right now.....
Heh, nope, just random drinking with friends. Aye.. But those old robo-animes are so fucking rare, I bet the dude could have charged more for them if he wanted too. PP can't do shit, and I'm not one who votes for a onequestion-party.
PP might be a one "genre" party. But they also effectively rally voters weather they are on the left or the right spektrum of politiks. I think it's a brilliant initiative. Even voters outside our borders want to vote for tehm. Theyve had an astounding effect on people. I'd vote for them if I wasn't so left and knew the left party would do more good in these questions. Eva-Britt Svensson FTW
I am an anime robot crazed fan in those days, and know the schedule of each of those 14 different shows. The hard part is that many of them are pitted against each other in the same time slot, so I have to keep on switching channels..and we don't have remote controlled TV back then. LOL
ei can anyone remember this jap video it has a Big Bowling Ball, A flying Buntal Hat and a ROBOT controlled by a miniturize man. I think sometime late 70's or 80's... This was shown along with The original Star Rangers.Can anyone help me figure this out before i completely lose my mind.. hehe... kindly please.
I have no idea.. we never got the full series in sweden as far as i know and i don't think anyone has all the episodes... They can be orderd from a few swedish dvdshopping sites tho.
@tawess He DID find his mother and brother and Captain Goldeus got sent back home:P The episodes are avilable on youtube(In italian though) p.s I'm swedish:)
Yes! there is an English Dubbed i watch it in the Philippines as well as VoltesV,Daimos,UFO Grendizer,Mekanda robot,MazingerZ,Macross and i forgot the rest LOL!
I'm not sure there ever was an English version of Balatack. I remember watching it with Swedish dubs as a kid with fond memories. This thing is unbelievably rare these days, it seems.
i only watched this robot anime once and then the president pulled out all shows of this genre at the tube that time. man this brings back lotsa good memories
the only irk I got with this series is that...man, that's one ugly super robot, even for 70's standard. Look at the robot's face from the side...it's nothing but a block.
YEEEEES YESSSSS I FINALLY FOUND BALATACK .. BEEN SEARCHING FOR HIM FOR AAAAAAAAAGES MAN.. HAHA AND TODAY I've GOOGLED " BIG WHITE AND RED ROBOT" AND UP HE CAME
Another under-rated super robot coz it was not hyped in publicity during it showing in the late '70's, but in my opinion.... this mecha kicks ass, specially against the enemy robots!!! definitely one of the best mecha series.
Oh my god! I remember this one! I got the first one from my granny as a birthday gift. I was like 4 years old when I got it. I watched it like 5 times a day.
the problem is that there the trail ends... I have not found any scrap of video outside those 2 tapes.. And as i said most of the time people have no clue what i am talking about.
I ones found a dude that sold the whole serie. Sure, it was raw, no subs or anything, and burned to like 10 CD-R's, but man, I wonder why I didn't buy it... I think he wanted 150$ for it.. I shoulda paid him :(
Takk! =D haha, har lett etter dene serien i mange år, gikk aldri opp for meg at jeg bare kunne kikke på cdon :D sånn er det når man er dum nordmann ;)
well.. trust me when i say it is not easy... in sweden only two tapes were ever released and not even people who are in to Giga mech series know much about Balatack... I have tried to no avail to get a hold of more, it would seem like it is a footnote in history... Still.. it was a funny and entertaining show..
my heart hurt while watching this.. im 19 years old, and when i was around 5, i got my own first movie.. balatack
about 2 years ago i recived part number two, i live in sweden but have no idea where to get the other movies from.. i owuld love them, and i love balatack deeply
