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
"Your weapon was dreadful. But what's worse is carrying hatred in your heart. I hope this lesson stays with you for all time." Wise words coming from 8-Man.
Exactly....it's dialogue like this that made the series classic gold in the 1960s. However with the end of the 1960s and the campaign launched by screaming female liberals who thought Japanese anime shows were too violent, we lost the higher quality of character development and storyline; which is no longer found in productions since then.
@@tedvalis6071 Well, the older than old-school stuff will always have a special place in my heart. As will 8-Man himself for his words of wisdom and encouragement.
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.

6:29 I love 8-Man's sense of humor! He's a lot more expressive in this show than in 8-Man After.
