Tobor The 8th Man like Gigantor Speed Racer Marine Boy Astro Boy etc,etc, were among my favorite anime shows that i enjoyed watching growing up as a child running home from school so i wouldn't miss a single episode. with today's tech it would be great to finally see these classic b&w episodes in color on dvd and blu-ray disc. thanks! for showing them on Knordob ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was very clever and captured the essence of the 8th Man series!!! Way to go!

Beautiful print....and great, crisp audio! Watching it today, July 11, as this episode was shown on this day Thursday 1968 on WPIX Channel 11 in New York

One of many early Animes shown on American TV. It was called Tobor The Eighth Man in the U.S.

For some reason I remember him as 008 man. Could a sword that was the cartoons title.

Thanks for posting this fantastic blast from my youth! I would watch 8th Man on early Saturday mornings on WGN Chicago in the mid/late 1960s In the 1980s, I bought a vhs copy of several 8th Man episodes. Unfortunately, this episode was not included. Thanks again!

Thanks for uploading this bodacious "blast from the past" ! I have vague memories of a local low power independent TV station showing this when I was a youngster in the mid to late 60s. I would never have known it was in black in white because all my family had back then was a black & white TV.

Samantha's roars sound so scary.

Now we know where RoboCop and 6 million dollar man came from

声がアメコミなのがイメージ違う。日本は声優がマッチしてる感。オリジナル国だからね。

声優がアメリカコミックみたい。子供向けという感じでない。

Where's episode #2?!😅

I don't know but the Chief looks alot like Speed Racer's father.

my preferred cartoon super-hero by the 60's

13:48 LOL! There's literally eight 8-Men!

LOL! That was pretty bold when Tobor/Azuma said "Will you please get away from me!?"

英語と合うね。違和感がない。

I must say, this is a pretty tragic episode with its ending. Dr. Spectra's daughter was so naive yet so innocent. All she wanted was to live a normal life. And her death was very heartbreaking. But this show has balls. It does NOT shy away from death.

"An ambition guided by hatred cannot be successful". 8-Man has wise words to give.

12:20 LOL! That's badass!

I absolutely love this show. Its ages old. But it has a lot of great solid material. I'm surprised not many attempts were made at making reboots beyond the 1992 live action movie and the 1993 OVA 8-Man After. 8-Man deserves more. He deserves a modern reboot.

Jupiter is one of 8-Man's greatest rivals!

Wow! Excellent HD quality! And this is one of the best episodes of the show!

That monster bird was one of 8-Man's toughest challengers!

8-Man rocks. 👍👍👍👍

The setting of the original manga "8 Man (8th Man)," which was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" (Kodansha), a Japanese manga magazine for boys and children in the 1960s, can be simplified as follows. (The Japanese-produced TV broadcast version of 8 Man is animated almost exactly according to this manga original.) The author of the story is science fiction writer Kazumasa Hirai, and the artist of the manga is Jiro Kuwata. / Basic Setting, The location and setting is Japan in the early 1960s. A specially assigned eighth section or department is established in the criminal division of the Japanese police, but the name of the assigned detective is kept secret. the detective of the eighth section is not human, but a humanoid super robot called 8-Man. 8-Man was a type number of a group of humanoid super robots with artificial intelligence developed secretly in the U.S. for military development, and its development code name was number 008, the name of the eighth robot developed. (The title "The Eighth Man" is derived from these two names: detective of the eighth police department and serial number 008.) Dr. Tani, a Japanese robotics engineer who was involved in the development of this super robot in the U.S., did not want the robot he created to be used in war as a military development product, so he fled the organization in secret to Japan with (and took out) 8 Man and returned to Japan to hide himself. Since the development of the combat robot was conducted in top-secret, the fact that he took the robot and fled did not become an official international issue, and pursuers from the U.S. came to Japan several times to directly destroy or recapture 8-Man. The Soviet side also sent emissaries to Japan to attack 8-Man in order to extort military secrets from the United States. (The depiction of the conflict in international relations is not explicitly stated in the original manga, as it was originally a children's manga.) 8-Man himself is a super robot, but Dr. Tani has transferred the memories and consciousness of Detective Aduma, who died in the line of duty on the case, into his electronic brain, and he normally lives in secret, in human form, as Auduma, a former detective who is an udderless private detective. When necessary, he transforms into the form of 8th Man. The narrative structure consists of a mainline story of an escape from the U.S. and a chase drama, as well as individual cases and episodes. The episodes include, The story of a female scientist who develops a new weapon using laser beams and uses it to avenge her murdered husband. The story of an evolved and self-aware supercomputer (now called AI) that rebels against humans. The battle for a small, high-performance, human-controlled, high-speed rocket weapon. The story of an artificial witch whose personality is split into good and evil due to an accident involving a large high-speed atomic circuit device that generates cosmic rays, and who can levitate with only her soul. A battle with a genius brother and sister scientist who came from the future to the present by manipulating a time machine. The items and settings of 1960s hard SF were included. Although the medium of publication took the work from a children's magazine, it was in fact a hard-ESF manga that could be read by adults as well. When an animated version was broadcast on TV in the early 1960s, it became popular not only among children at the time but also widely throughout Japan, thanks to Jiro Kuwata's smart and modern illustrations. An English translation of the animated version was also shown in the United States. After the war, Godzilla was mutated by a hydrogen bomb test, Ultraman was an alien who crash-landed on the earth due to an accident during his mission, and Ultra Seven appeared on the earth in pursuit of aliens who were after the earth. There is also Ishinomori's "Cyborg 009," a precursor to the Avengers of today, and "Masked Rider," a modified robot fighting an evil organization planning to take over the world, Astro Boy," which depicted the suffering and exploits of a boyish robot AI with the will and emotions to coexist with human society. The film 8th Man was one of Japan's pioneering animated films of the postwar era,

LOL! That walk at 15:55!

Whoa . So the 8 man Anime of the 2000 goes back this far😮

Holey robocop batman !

It's a shame this show was "banned" from airing in USA after 1967 due to the cigarettes.

英語で見るのは初めてですが、外国映画として見ても違和感なく、人物の動作が外国的に洗練されているのがわかりました。今のアニメより、表情、口の動き、手つき、立ち姿、動作、また波の描写などに合理性と上品さを感じます。

I've been looking for this for 25 years since I saw it in the UK, I can't believe after all this time I have finally found it!

I member when i.was 5 year's old

米国が作り出した殺人兵器だったんだよ、8マンは。そこはわかっているのかな？

4:32 Is your superpower stating the obvious?

The Fantastic ✋️ virus Tobor the 8th man

11:28 Should be a little bit more careful about telling a maniac robot that it's not too bright.

Tobor the 8th man

Original English Title.... "Intercrime's Invincible Robot"

Tobar the 8th man

I was looking for the Japaeise version but this looks close enough, thanks! I notice that Gigantor and 8 Man shows always have robot arms getting amputated in battle, lol. Great storyline.
