Please don't hurt me, but as soon as I read your description the Starblazers theme started in my head.... Brill pic though

Thank you very much!

I don't know who the Starblazers are, so I'm not offended by any means

Really? Captain Avatar and his brave crew on a mission to save Earth? The Space Battle Ship Argo built from the remains of the IJN Yamato? The Wave Motion Gun that would, if targeted on the Enterprise, have left no more than postage stamp sized debris? lol Admittedly it's a tad hokey, but it's pretty good for early American Dubbed Anime.

Oh, anime! I remember, we had Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon back in my time, plus a few others. Anime was a fad back then, but nowdays only a small minority likes it in Hungary. I, personally, prefer Russian cartoons.

Yeah "Star Blazers" was the "Americanized" version of Space Battleship Yamato.

Cool pic btw

I grew out of them. Remember, I'm 25

The only anime I still like is Candy Candy. Good old 1970's hand-drawn stuff with a touching human story. Humans! Not aliens and monsters and whatnots, just people. That alone is a seller for me.

Awesome image Dave

Does the crew of the Polaris ever get any safe and boring missions, or do they always manage to run into trouble?

Thank you very much

Well, it's mostly border patrol... on a really dangerous border zone.

That's a long trip, to the frontier... long and dangerous.

Indeed it is. Kzinti and Tzenkethi are everywhere, as well as Tholians, Gorn and the occasional Orion raiders.

The colors and the grain make it look like real NASA footage from the 60's. Cool starbase model.
