Just found this after seeing this on VHS mid-80s. I've spent countless hours trying to find this for the last 25 years, I couldn't remember what it was called. Thank you.
Practically the same story, here. A single memory of a peacock-looking firebird/Phoenix, pecking at the body of a female cyborg, and he'd turning gray, as she tried to protect someone. It's unreal how the mind works. I thought I had dreamed it, at times. The reality of the art style being real is what lead me to find it. Born in 82. Masterpiece. We grew up with the greatest shit ever.
Same here! The things I could remember it was about the bird phoenix and that the main character sacrifices himself and turns into a baby in the end. I googled those things and got a name of the animated movie.
It just came in my mind after 20 years i searched the name of this anime and finally found it. As a child my daddy bought it for me on VHS on the market i have been watching it all over again and again as a kid. Sweet nostalgia
i have searched for this 17 years, in my country it was called "Spacebird"....I am still looking for an anime of the same kind - "Hi-tech police" about a trapped guy in autonomous tank
Lived in Okinawa for a time in the mid 90s. The base video store had this for rent, and I had no idea what it was nor the concept of anime. I remember the egg creature taking over the doctor haunting me for some reason. The name escaped me up until today when "Firebird" came to mind. Wow.
Thanks for sharing this. I remember watching it as a child and finding it both beautiful and disturbing. Cartoons with this kind of message were really unknown in the West at the time. I remember my grandmother buying it for me on VHS in a kid's bargain bin along with Princess Knight. I remember when I watched them feeling that these were very different and unsettling compared to the cartoons I usually watched. Princess Knight was weird, but Space Firebird was grim for a 10 year old, and I put it out of my mind for 30 odd years. Until I came across it again while idly surfing through Wikipedia, and it all came back to me. I had to relive my memory and was lucky enough to find the rip of the film I originally watched here. Thanks for bringing back the memories! I think I can appreciate this better now as an adult. :)
I was in love during my childhood by this movie! So glad to find it again! Will be a good screenplay for a movie! With all modern technology will be a very good one! Thanks for sharing!
Yep, some people like to think he made this as a way of making up for passing up a chance to do "2001: A Space Odyssey" back in the 60's. At least that's the rumor I heard.
I bought this for $1 on VHS at a grocery store in the early 90's. It was in a bin with a bunch of random VHS. I got a few dubbed Godzilla films and I remember a lot of work-out tapes. It was the only time that grocery store sold tapes. I wonder why and how that sale came to pass.
This is crazy to see all the cool comments you posted. I was born in France, 20 years after this movie came out, yet I remember watching the dvd as a child. The title of the movie just came to my mind when I was trying to sleep tonight, and while I do not remember the plot, I remember that this movie made me feel so sad as a child, for some reason. Even tonight, I shed a tear just by looking at the intro.
At last, I find this move from my childhood again. This movie leaves a mark on me, how the human could love a cyborg. the scene where Godoh tries to save the cyborg, its unfortable. Thanks for sharing this movie.
Been searching for this for decades! Only thing I remembered was the old man comedy assistant and that horrible egg thing on the eyes! So bizarre.. and bizarrely memorable for a Betamax tape rented back in the early eighties!
Except Tezuka left Disney in the cosmic dust by going into science fiction and Disney never really did. There's even an American-Belgian animation production collaboration that produced 1965's, Pinocchio In Outer Space, that beat Disney and every other animation studio going into science fiction. I don't consider Hanna-Barbera's The Jetsons nor Jonny Quest on the same level.
@@Khultan It's outdated with every advancement in today's standards, but for 1979, it definitely did pretty good with its effects and scene building. There's alot of good that Star Wars clones had done despite obvious flaws, I'd even say Starcrash and Galaxina among other Star Wars clones really did good with science fiction even more than Star Wars.
Thx, I've been searching for it since Vhs version got lost. It was exactly this 2h version, but with polish dubbing. I was 5 when I saw it first time! Magical!
Loved this film as a kid (I am sure I will when I watch it again :p) Forgot the title of it, only in the last few years did I re-come across it. Thank you for the upload.
Incredible anime from my childhood I have been searching for...for ages. This is Chrono Trigger, God tier, anime, storytelling. All I remembered was a firebird pecking at a female android body and killing it. And that single memory stuck with me forever.p
Francois Van Der Merwe Kool thanks, yeah I think I heard of that site, I just never been to it. Is it a safe site? I'm always wary of a site from another country.
I saw this movie advertising at the end of the wacthing Techno police 21c movie. It was two of my favorite movies in my childhood. Love the animation in this movie.
After reading the comments it is funny how alot of people have in common that their parents brought this on VHS or they saw this on VHS when they were young, I am one of those who was lucky to see it back when on VHS too, my dad was the one who got me into anime before I even knew what anime was lol, but this one is one of the animes that stood with me, along with Battle of Planets (Gatchaman), Macross/Robotech and all those other great shows of the 80s/90s. Both me and my older sister watched this and she always favoured this as much as I did, I have heard the Japanese voice over aswell, but the English dub was the one we both remembered back when and yeah it wasn't perfect voice acting, but it was some thing that still made us want to watch it and enjoy it, infact I believe this movie was what introduced me to the Phoenix when I was young, as I had no idea what a bird made of fire was, I just called it Firebird, but my oldman knowing his myths and legends said to me that the correct word is Phoenix, I know in Japan it is called something else, again good times
los japoneses siempre te sacan una lágrima,yo lloraba con marco y Heidi porque eran dibujos tipo alegría y drama con la cruel señorita rottermeyer,japon es un pais devorador de dibujos y comics desde gente pequeña a gente anciana.
i always wanted to know what happened to little Crack after his ship was swallowed ? was there ever any reference to his demise. I always loved his little character
He reappears, revived by the firebird along with Pincho and Pooks on the revived planet. I always thought it was unfair that Dr Salter couldn't be brought back though.
Cuando uno es niño experimenta sentimientos diferentes, esta es una de muchas películas que me provocó sentimientos fuertes de tristeza por su final que no comprendí, asombro, tensión y miedo por las partes del Fénix, profundos sentimientos y confusion por las partes amorosas,
Great Movie I remember watch it when I was a kid , I'm looking for another Anime movie but I don't know the title : a reporter female stuck in an advanced tank while she covers a Military show , the Authorities tries to stop the Advanced tank but they fail every time . Can Anyone help me to find that movie ?
@@zaidedward2251 You mean Techno Police 21C. I remember it was also released on Mountain Video VHS with a Phoenix 2772 trailer at the end. Great childhood memories.
they really could have done better with the voice actors, especially black jack, but i guess that's expecting a little much for an obscure kid's movie.
Is it just me or does it seem that the Han Solo movie took some conceptual themes from this. Like how the hero has a love interest who becomes a gangsters gun molly, he tries to escape with her. Then the gangster forces him to work for him. I mean this is a theme of old gangster films but it's feels obvious.
17:55 She eats her spinach! 42:46 LOL! Great hiding place! 1:20:51 ...Am I the only one who thinks this looks a little obscene? 1:21:10 And now that she's rinsed the windows, she's gonna give 'em a quick rubdown. In just that one spot. 1:43:29 This inspired one of their bedroom games. 1:49:25 _"I've the power to make all your dreams come true. So please say, 'I would like to live forever.'"_ _"Orga...have you been--"_ "Drinking?" _"--possessed by some other being?"_ "Oh." _"Is it...that...that..."_ "THAT WHOɌE!"
There is no good reason why this film has faded into obscurity. This is a Tezuka anime, for crying out loud! This should have been remastered and rereleased years ago on DVD with the original Japanese w/subtitles along with this Toho dub. I don't think they should bother to redub it. It's a period piece and the Toho dub is appropriate for the period it was made. Modern voice actors tend to overact and Americanize (Westernize) the dialogue and voices. This film was apparently dubbed by the same pool of actors whose voices are recognizable from Kung Fu Theater dubs. Godo, I think, is the same voice actor that dubbed Gordon Liu for The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka Master Killer). And Dr. Saruta sounds a lot like Sam Seed in Drunken Master.
Osamu Tezuka must be a fan of killing off kid friendly mascots like Disney like killing characters we love off. Just look at 1:51:51, 1:26:11 and 1:28:42.
Meem Masheen I meant that one that cleans. I just added the wrong time. Also how can you not love that character. She was the most helpful and cheerful.
@David Malcolm But it wasn't Olga, rather the Phoenix's spirit within the body. Olga's spirit/being was dead. Phoenix being a human didn't really matter as she was just envious of Olga and the guy's love, otherwise; why would she do does a horrible thing? Ugh it still makes me mad 😠
Where is the girl that I thought it looks like they'll get married, since they both had a kiss, but didn't see the wedding scene later of them and have kids together I expect to see just like in Marvelous Melmo I know Melmo married a boy and had a baby so I thought Lina and Gardo gets married as well have a baby too? After being shocked that Gardo was not being birthed by the mom, how sad right? Why did the guy turned back into a baby and not show him marry the girl?! I didn't watch the whole movie, but....

Oh my goodness! Everyone has an obscure childhood movie and this was mine. So much nostalgia and memories!
This movie is a serious warning for all humanity. Coronavirus pandemics is an innocent breeze in compare to nature catastrophe around the globe.

This made me cry my eyes out. One of the very best anime films I've seen.
You are not alone. I cried too.
turns out it's not just Zoidberg. Everyone in the future says "robut"
Happy to see it finally synched up. Had this on VHS years ago.
The soundtrack is terrific
This is one of the very few better animated productions of Osamu Tezuka.
Yep, some people like to think he made this as a way of making up for passing up a chance to do "2001: A Space Odyssey" back in the 60's. At least that's the rumor I heard.
手塚治虫先生は医師であり、科学者であり
漫画家であり

Osamu Tezuka was a doctor, scientist, manga artist, and film producer.
The embodiment of Jack of All Trades.
The hand trick is a beautifully thought out scene
I bought this for $1 on VHS at a grocery store in the early 90's. It was in a bin with a bunch of random VHS. I got a few dubbed Godzilla films and I remember a lot of work-out tapes. It was the only time that grocery store sold tapes. I wonder why and how that sale came to pass.

@@Khultan Actually Disney did go into science fiction in 1979's The Black Hole, despite not being an animated movie.

Late 70s and 80s sci-fi aesthetics: love it.
And this was what attracted many sci-fi fans to anime early on.
Anime began to get emotionally over the top after the 90s. I checked out after that.
Ah, it sort of began with Neo Genesis Evangelion....
And the slew of indulgent surrealist teenage angst that followed.
I get ya.
@kruez hund Back to my childhood. I'm all tears. Thank you so much
You can definitely tell that Osamu Tezuka was a fan of Metropolis.
If you mean Metropolis the anime/manga classic Osamu Tezuka wrote that 🙂
Thank you. This movie has been more important to me for my adult life than anything.
please explaine.
is there a 2000 anime version?

It is still as captivating as the first time I saw it in a VCR. The correct name for that appliance, a Video Cassette Recorder.

It was released on DVD some time ago. Not sure which company put it out though.
I am french and i have it in cd. Don't remember the name of the company nor if its in Original version with subtitles, english or french

True. You try to read that Phoenix manga, you'll be out for a few days!
At least two of them were reborn and the Earth's remaining population was revived. That's a plus, right?
