@@MatthewTheWolf2029 Yep, his son's brain was put into a robots body since the didn't have the know how to recreate the positronic brain that 8th man had.
@@55Quirll I remember. That's one of my favorite episodes actually. Ken is one of 8-Man's greatest rivals. And that's the episode that the 1992 live action movie was based on.
@@MatthewTheWolf2029 Yes. He felt bad about battle the Professor's son and was willing to be beaten but the Professor told to fight. I didn't know that about this and the movie. Thanks.
Tobor was the first police officer that was killed on duty and rebuilt as a robot. That's why he was called the 8th man because it took 8 tries to get him right.
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.
these are the best versions of the japan anime of the classic b&w episodes of 8TH MAN. too bad that american anime ins,t at this level of quality. these should finally be in color.
The original story for 8th Man was based on an original story written by Japanese science fiction writer ”Kazumasa Hirai”. Kazumasa Hirai was the author of the original manga that was published in a magazine for boys, and the cartoonist was Jiro Kuwata, who drew the manga, which was then adapted into this animated TV version. The original manga was serialized in a children's manga magazine for children in the 1960s in Japan, and the animation was created for children. But the author was a popular science fiction writer, and the original story was based on a hard science fiction content without cutting any corners, which was suitable for adults and could be appreciated by them. This is also the reason why 8thMan was so popular in Japan in the 1960s, transcending generations. This animation was also faithful to Kazumasa Hirai's original story, so it can still be appreciated around the world today.
Poor "8th Man"..he not only had to battle his robotic brother"Ken"..he also had to battle his robotic sister"Samantha Seven".."Samantha"was being controlled by an evil and vindictive scientist.
I was in NE Philly. I was glued to it. It was real drama made at the level of a child's mind. His anguish of being a human in a robot body, unrequited love, remarkable powers, fantastic villains, intrigue and suspense, and each story always had a moral to it. Do not be greedy was the Samantha Seven moral for example.
Yes! UHF Channels 17, 29 and 48 in Philadelphia were the channels that showed martial arts, horror movies like ‘Them’, ‘The Amazing Gigantic Colossal Man’, Astro Boy, Marine Boy, Gigantor, Kimba the White Lion, Prince Planet, 8th Man, Ultra Man - they were great channels! I also used to watch Doctor Who on the PBS WHYY TV-12 I lived in Northeast Philadelphia, off of Academy Road
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。
Samantha 7 is one of 8-Man's toughest challengers! Not to mention, this is one of the best episodes of the show!
Also when he meets Professor Genius's Son.
@@55Quirll You mean Ken?

Just amazing. Havent seen this in more than half a century. Loved being a kid in the 1960s. Was the best time ever
me too this was tbe best episode
Indeed....😎
LOL! That was pretty bold when Tobor/Azuma said "Will you please get away from me!?"
Samantha's roars sound so scary.
I remember watching this as a kid. I was about 8 or 9 years old. It was scary!!
👍Classic righteousness!!👍
This should be on some station today….
この頃から日本のｱﾆﾒｰｼｮﾝは海外でも認められていたんだ😳 凄い事だよね😶
この頃のように
メッセージ性が込められた作品を評価される事は、殆ど無くなってしまっているがね。
側だけ。見た目だけ。ペラペラで薄っぺらい、キャラクター商売。
アニメートの部分は評価されるだろうがね・・・
My favorite episode
This one and the one with his brother ken and Pounce the tiger
One of the best episodes!
Mine is where our hero smokes a cigarette in a theater that was overcome with destruction.
Tobor was the first police officer that was killed on duty and rebuilt as a robot. That's why he was called the 8th man because it took 8 tries to get him right.
Tobar the 8th man l remember this cartoon

I don't know but the Chief looks alot like Speed Racer's father.
I member when i.was 5 year's old
8番目の男だから、英語では当然
8th man になるわけか…
Wow! Where did you get such a phenomenal quality print from? These are amazing! Thanks for posting!
Whoa .
So the 8 man Anime of the 2000 goes back this far😮
You must mean "8-Man After", which came out in 1993. But yes, 8-Man is much older. Last year was his 60th anniversary.

In the movie 8 Man After, the secretary/girlfriend of the original 8 Man called him Kazumasa, a reference to the Science Fiction writer perhaps?

Yeah. The series is full of drama and tragedy.
5:00 Oh so like Dexter
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。
11:28
Should be a little bit more careful about telling a maniac robot that it's not too bright.
damn this was some terrible programming. can't believe this was one of my favs as a little boy
This used to be shown on "Wee Willie Weber" channel 17 in Philadelphia, after school.
Samantha 7 scared the shit outta me!!
