Captain Future

Recently someone lent me his collection of Captain Future tapes. Ever since I saw Phil Fuldner's clip I thought "I want to see that anime". The version I saw was the German version. A lot of countries seem to have their own soundtrack and dubbing for the anime. As far as I am concerned Captain Future is the best anime I have ever seen. For sure it's the best science fiction anime. What makes this anime so great is the solid story telling along with the great soundtrack. The soundtrack really adds a special feel to the anime and to the action scenes. It's a timeless soundtrack. And the Captain Future crew is a really special team. Every character is likable. There is a lot of stuff people call cult, but this anime is the real deal. Cult can't come any closer than this. If you ever get the chance to see it watch the German version. And if you don't know German then get off your lazy behind, leave your computer and start learning it to feel the Captain Future experience. This anime series screams for a DVD release. And with the technology of today the DVD's could be really special containing all the languages and all the soundtracks. It would be a dream come true for every Captain Future fan.

this movie is truly cult and even the story is too heavy for a cartoon. Its pretty well made and beyond its time. I think too most important thing about this is its soundtrack. You must listen to it to be able to believe in it, it simply kicks ass. I got it on CD.

I had a old VHS tape of Cartoon Future and never gave it the time of day. However I was in the mood after several years to watch this Cartoon. OMG...I am so glued. Can anybody please tell me how to get the complete DVD Disc set in English? Is there a way.

I want more and more and now it has consumed me. This cartoon rocked and loved the storyline and Characters. I hope it comes out in English one day.

If anybody knows how to get a English Version or Dubbed in English, Please share the information.

The Whole cartoon was a wonderful surprise by the great characters and villains, I only had the VHS Tape version that had the 6 episodes I believe. The Graphics are so sketchy but great plot and storyline.

The Cartoon Captain Future was (at least) 20 years ahead of its time when it was first aired in the late 70 early 80. I watched the show on German TV around 1982-84. The action packed story along with a super OST made it my favorite cartoon making todays "fastfood-anime" look pretty poor.

I managed to find the show on 2 DVD collections on the Internet last year and I had a lot of fun watching Captain Future and his crew in action again after 20 years. And to my surprise it had not lost its "magic" like so many other things from the past...

I wonder why it has never been shown on Danish TV?

Well, what can I say? This series is just cult. When you are German, and you haven't at least heard of this series, then you must be dead or deaf, dumb and blind! In the beginning of the eighties at least every second child in West Germany spent its childhood in front of the TV-set watching this show (and after it "Ein Colt fuer alle Faelle" with Lee Mayors at 05.15 PM [I remember it as if it was yesterday!]). The show got most of its flair from the brilliant sound track which was done by Christian Bruhn.
