From Marine Boy and Thundercats to Cities Of Gold and Akira, we look at the TV shows and movies that introduced the UK to Japanese anime
One evening in 1994, the BBC screened a documentary simply called Manga. Presented by Jonathan Ross, it showcased the rising popularity of Japanese animation, largely focusing on the output of Manga Entertainment, whose dubbed VHS releases had made a huge impact on anime fans and caused a certain amount of consternation among the mainstream press.
For British viewers, the anime boom took a long time to arrive. In America, Japanese shows like Kimba The White Lion, Gigantor and Astro Boy were a common sight on television in the 1960s, yet it took until the late 70s and 80s, and a string of European-Japanese co-productions, before anime finally began to find a hold on UK television.

Anime has been around for a long time. Though just gaining serious ground in the last 20 years, it’s actually been on American TV for decades in some shape or form. From “Speed Racer” to “Giant Robo” to “Robotech and “Voltron,” we’ve been getting small doses of the cartoons from Japan. “Starzinger” is one such show. Originally airing in 1978 and 1979 and only in a few states, it was part of an Anime Anthology that was shown on TV created by Jim Terry called “Force Five.” Called “Spaceketeers” at the time, it enjoyed a little success, and has become a small cult classic among anime enthusiasts. In 2009, William Winckler Productions produced three all new dubbed films edited together from the original series, and that’s what Shout Factory is releasing later this month. “Starzinger” is actually a sci-fi retelling of the Chinese classic “Journey to the West,” which is actually...

Without realizing it, I grew up exposed to the earliest anime, shows like Astro Boy and The Amazing Three and Kimba the White Lion. It was a quiet invasion overshadowed by louder, more colorful and kinetic American animation on Saturday mornings and classic Warner cartoons on weekday afternoons. As a result, I missed the next great era of American anime such as Space Battleship Yamato and Robotech. It certainly developed a large following in the 1970s and 1980s with the airwaves packed with these shows. In fact there were so many that several shorter-run series were packed together as Force Five. The Wednesday show was known as Spaceketeers and ran for 26 episodes, edited down from 73 episodes and never quite concluded the story.
Now, Shout! Factory has taken the series, which was edited into three different films by Toei in 2009 and is releasing them on disc. The new version was written and directed by William Winckler,...
