Star Fleet Brian May New Edit 1

Giant Kick Ass Robot Action. Created by manga master Go Nagai.

Made in Japan in 1980. Shown in the UK on Saturdays in 1983-4. Correct me if I am wrong had the highest ratings for a childrens show of its time which gave cause for concern for Gerry Anderson when he brought out his Terrahawks.

Was also a superbly drawn comic strip in "Look-In" magazine.

If you watch the whole series again you will find it quite slow and there are a few flashback scenes. Also the whole "Skull" business seems a bit odd if you are over eight. Maybe because it was spread out over a year but the final boss showdown scene certainly seemed dramatic back in 1984.

Was more popular in the UK than Japan maybe because we had less exposure to these types of programs. Also there was appeal in the "quest" nature of the series and the darker aspects of the storyline as well as the sinister characters which wasn't typically present in western series.

Star Fleet and Voltron both had to be models for what children now see as Power Rangers.
