Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1972

In the fall of 2010 I marked a merely personal anniversary (fifteen years since I joined my university’s anime club) by watching a bit of anime from all the years I had access to. Back then, the oldest series I had was 1972’s Gatchaman on DVD from ADV, following up on having seen Battle of the Planets many years before while visiting the kids next door (they had cable; we didn’t). It had taken until almost the end of Gatchaman before I got to the single episode I could remember real details of after that long, though.
( And now for a different series: Mazinger Z )
