Anime Movie Rewind: Flying Phantom Ship
Dec. 18th, 2022 05:56 pmAs I’ve watched my way back through a small yet personal selection of anime movies heading for “sixty years since Mighty Atom got on TV” (and plans to watch my way forward from there using the different environment of TV episodes), I’ve been aware of where to leave off, and how I could leave off there with one more freshly opened Blu-Ray thanks to Discotek. When I’d been pointed to an hour-long production (meant as part of a “theatrical anthology for kids”) from the end of the 1960s I’d stepped into the murky water of “fansubs.” Having enjoyed the movie, its relative brevity helped me to watch it again simply tossed into a trip forward through anime movies. Flying Phantom Ship being officially licensed had surprised me for all that Discotek had already made a point of releasing a movie from some of the same people made a year before, but I was glad other people would have a more upright chance to get to see it too.
