Hi Everyone,
Besides Science Fiction I like to keep up with waht is happening on
the Anime scene. Recently I was looking at Cartoon Network's Big O.
I noticed the open theme was from Flash Gordon the Movie and parts
of the soundtrack were from Gerry Anderson's UFO. The plot about a
group of people being isolated by manipulation vaguely reminds one
of the Prisoner. Then their are the giant robots known as
Megadeuces. Does anyone remember Gigantor, Johnny Soto, or Tranzor Z.
Given the present level of writing in American animated series,
overall it wasn't bad. Most of it has been done ,some as Batman the
Animated Series. What are some of the rewrites of old material you
have found out there? Are there any that come close to the original.
