"Anime" You Shouldn't Watch, But Will

For 53 years Korea had a ban on Japanese Culture. This, of course, included anime, which lead to Korea making their own pseudo-anime. Not that it was bad, in fact quality-wise it was about the same as any animation for its time.  Since anime wasn't allowed in Korea, though, many of its movies and series were "reimagined" versions of other anime and other media.

Then one day, a Hong Kong company, Digiview Entertainment, acquired the rights to a bunch of Korean anime. Producer Joseph Lai took a bunch of them, and spliced an original film together called Space Thunder Kids. A film which supposedly has a plot, but I haven't come across anyone that can really explain it.

Films used to splice Space Thunder Kids together include Savior of the Earth, Space Transformers, Captain of Cosmos, Defenders of Space, Super Mazinger 3, Solar Adventure, and Super Express Mazinger 7 (I might have missed some). All of these movies were cheap knock-offs  of other anime and films.

If you want to watch this movie, you are a brave person.  The movie in it's entirety is up on Youtube, though, so it isn't hard to find at all.  Here is the first part -

For added laughs, there is a Sage and Spoony Review of Space Thunder Kids from a year and a half or so ago.
