Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1977
Jan. 15th, 2023 04:00 pmStill looking to get through the 1970s with judicious sampling of giant robot anime, I turned to a title I can’t say I’ve noticed getting prominent emphasis (and if this only reveals I don’t look in the right directions to claim any genuine awareness of 1970s anime, I’ll accept the correction) but was “fansubbed” all the same. Just over a week after sampling Attack No. 1 (which shouldn’t distract from how the viewing audience of the time would have been well turned over after eight years), I tried out another girls’ volleyball series with a title translated as Attack on Tomorrow. (Before seeing the way the fansub translated it I’d been going by the romanization Ashita e Attack, but contemplating how I’d used Tomorrow’s Joe rather than Ashita no Joe...)
