(1957) Ken Utsui, Junko Ikeuchi, Minoru Takada. Over 150 minutes of simple Japanese superhero sci-fi fun. This two-disc set is in Japanese with no subtitles but—as with Vol. One—the plots are so simple that it’s quite easy to follow what’s going on. Our hero, Starman, once again battles an endless array of villians as he flies about the galaxy, providing even more space opera thrills. Some sci-fi enthusiasts don't take this show very seriously, but there is a TON of cool stuff in these episodes: spaceships, monsters, lab scenes, aliens, space stations, explosions, huge fight scenes, etc. They really are a lot of fun. And yes, his lovable school children pals are still around to make you gag at their unabashed loyalty toward their hero of the skies. This volume includes the Space Giant episodes, parts 3, 4, 5, and 6. From 16mm.
