Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1965

When I started going through lists of anime series debuts by year, it had seemed simple enough to cover 1965; I supposed I’d just watch the first episode of Hustle Punch again. Then, though, I happened to realize sample fansubs of a different series that had begun that year were also to be found, and contemplated taking in a different series, Wonder Three. The thought did cross my mind as to whether I’d decided to see something other than Hustle Punch because that anime had featured “funny animals,” but there was the wrinkle that I understood Wonder Three to be just about the same there, with three alien visitors to Earth having transformed themselves into a girl rabbit, a duck with a Moe Howard hairdo, and a horse.
( The Earth hangs in the balance, anyway )
