Captain Future

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.

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.

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.

DVD release for Germany is scheduled for October, 20th 2003. Make sure to get your copy in time. But there is only the german voice included. At the times when this brilliant anime was done, soundtrack and voice were on one track in japanese and could not be divided. Germany made one of the best soundtrack for this 80s movies....I can hardly wait to see it again.

Well, I haven't read much of Edmond Hamilton's golden-age-of-scifi-novels, but if this show has managed to do one thing especially well, then it is to carry the pulpish "sense of wonder" into the present.

Toei Animation's 'Captain Future' series not only is remarkably true to the original, it also digs deep into the fantastic worlds of Hamilton in all their weird, epic beauty. The episodes are based on 13 novels, and the viewer gets dragged into a futuristic universe full of mysteries, space exploration, villainy and heroism - that's space opera at it's best.

Even if it's an older animé, Sir, it still checks out. It is well told and vividly illustrated (including artistic and unusual camera perspectives). An absolute must-see...!

I recommend the Japanese version with country-specific subtitles.
