Available on DVD later in 2008

Fans of this show might like to know that Fabulous Films is planning to release the first ever official English language DVD of this cult classic TV series "Star Fleet" (X-Bomber). The series was created by the legendary Manga author Gô Nagai. Drawing heavily on diverse influences such as Star Wars, Japanese Anime and Gerry Anderson's various "Supermarionation" series, this stellar series ran for twenty-four half hour episodes on UK TV, beaming to our screens every Saturday morning starting back in October 1982. The English version's theme song was famously covered by Queen member Brian May and Eddie Van Halen. This will be the first time this brilliant series has been available on DVD!

Amazing!!!!

I loved this show! I hope to find this on DVD anytime soon. When I was a kid, I enjoyed this series very much. I can't remember much about it, except for a couple of scenes. I would like to see it again. Many years later, many shows are made that are way worst than this piece of art. This is not only a classic, but it would be a great show by today's standards. To the ones who own the rights of Star Fleet: Make it happen again, please. IT has everything from a great plot, interesting characters, human drama. Even a movie could be made from this series. With all the garbage and stupid remakes being done nowadays, how come no one wants to redo X-Bomber???? Do it now. Use CGI, if you want, but do it. NOW!

A puppet animation show that's dying to be made an epic trilogy

It's amazing how many people don't remember this series ever existed but I watched every episode over and over again. I can still remember the characters voices, "by your divine guidance" rings in my ears. And the theme music for Dai-X, "dun dun, Dir Der, Der Dir, Der Dir, d d Di!". I have been waiting for 20 years for someone to make this into a film. CGI is so good these days and the original story line was very strong it is bound to be a winner with the right director and cast. Hell, they're doing 'Transformers' so why not star fleet. It would be a Matrix, come Star Wars flick for a new (and old - for the few who could remember) generation. I cannot believe that no-ones picked up on this yet!!

Comments from a relived viewing

Known as "Star Fleet" in the U.K., I watched it as a child and never missed an episode. Having recently watched the U.S. version (cut to 24 episodes) from start to finish, this is a great series. Unique in it's time (in my opinion) for having an overall plot, plus other sub-plots which made each week exciting and making me eager to see the final fight.

Talking with a good friend we recounted the years, and were soon trawling the net. A week or so later and we're watching the show again.

The dub from Japanese worked very, very well and the music breathed extra life in to this truly unique work. Puppets controled from below are forgivable when you consider the overall effect of the production, which was leading edge for it's time. Come on, Jin, it's been too long - let's see it released on DVD - you've got one customer here just waiting for all 9 hours worth.

Incredibly entertaining, thoroughly charming

I was extremely delighted to stumble across Star Fleet, aka X-Bomber. What a thoroughly entertaining, fun, creative show, whose rough edges only add to the charm. Alongside Captain Scarlett, X-Bomber makes a very very strong case for Supermarionette as a medium, and makes me mourn for its unceremonious passing as a genre back in the 90's. Thunderbolt Fantasy has been an encouraging return for it to mainstream, but I fear we'll never see a series like Star Fleet again.

In short, this is an 80's space anime about a transforming mech battling cartoonish villains. It's a tokusatsu series in a lot of ways, with all the fast-paced creativity that implies. The battle scenes kick butt and use real practical effects in wonderful ways. I cannot recommend this one enough.

Anecdotes
The localized names in the UK English-dubbed version are as follows: Shirô Ginga (first name pronounced "SHEE-row"), the lead character, is called Shiro Hagen (first name pronounced "SHY-row" in the UK), Bongo Heracles is renamed Barry Hercules, and Bigman Lee becomes John Lee. Dr. Ben, the heroes' mentor/commander, becomes Dr. Benn Robinson, and his robot aide, P.P. Adamsky, is shortened to PPA. The main villain, Emperor Gelma, and his namesake fleet, the Gelma Armada, are abstractly renamed the Imperial Master and the Imperial Alliance, respectively. Gelma's field commander, Bloody Mary, is Commander Makara, her right-hand man Lieutenant Kozlo is Captain Orion. her scientist Dr. Gedora is Caliban, and the stock-henchmen, Gelma Soldiers, are called Termoids. General Kuroda becomes General Kyle, Captain Custer (Shirô, Bongo, and Bigman's former mentor/commander) is Captain Carter, and Shirô's father, Saburô Ginga, is Saburo Hagen. Characters like Lamia, Kirara, and Captain Halley remain the same, as does the eponymous ship X-Bomber. The super-vehicles Brainder (Shirô's vehicle), JumBody (Bongo's vehicle), and LegStar (Bigman's vehicle) are renamed BrainCom, MainBody, and LegTrax, respectively, and their gestalt giant robot form, Big Dai-X, is shortened to just Dai-X in the UK.

Gaffes
In the final episode, both the Imperial Master and Captain Halley claim that it is the end of the 20th century. As it is the eve of 3000AD, that would mean it would be the end of the 30th century.
