Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 1984

When considering how “watching one episode from one anime series to stand in for a whole year’s production” might only amount to puffery, I do get to thinking back to a weblog set up a decade ago, with each “golden anniversary” post from a different person. While the posts included much more summarizing than I’m managing here, I suppose I did keep remembering how the one for 1984 proclaimed it was going to focus on Fist of the North Star. Not having begun that post-apocalyptic martial arts epic yet (with the impression that brief summary isn’t doing it justice at least so far as someone who’d make it their sole choice for a year might react) and having already had a first taste alone of several shows in these past three weeks, I was resolved to just revisit a different series I’ve already seen. Then, as it turned out, I glanced back at the old post again and saw it did rather briefly acknowledge the existence of Giant Gorg and a few other series from the year.
