Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1973

From the tenth anniversary of Mighty Atom appearing on TV (a mere half-century back from the present now), the anime series I was intent on sampling was Aim for the Ace! The timing of this project became a little more awkward after picking my titles, though, when Discotek announced they’d licensed the tennis series for release on Blu-Ray. (It might be too much of a stretch to connect that to their having licensed Gunbuster even given all the suggestions over the years about part of the mecha anime’s tongue-in-cheek nature being a decided invocation of the earlier show...) I have ordered their impending release, but it won’t be out until the end of next month; once more I’m dipping into the murky water of “fansubs.”
( Anyone for tennis? )
