Hey, actually, since you're here and I know you like anime, what's your opinion on Starblazers? I see it's on Hulu and I hear it's supposed to be a classic and my wife has really gotten me interested in science fiction. Is it any good?

YOU MEAN SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO MOTHERFUCKER!?

SBY did what Gundam did before Gundam was a fucking twinkle in Tomino's eye. It's the seminal mecha anime and imo one of the best. Also, when I watched it in Egypt the translated title was Nusoor Al Fada'a, which translates to fucking Space Eagles, the most badass 70s name for a series EVER.

That being said I myself haven't watched Star Blazers, which is just the edited/dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato, so I can't comment on its quality. If it's even a fifth as good as the Japanese version, it's probably rull good, tho
