Trailer for "Space Adventure Cobra"
Trailer for "Space Adventure Cobra", in anticipation of the DVD launching March 2014. More info via cobra.rightstuf.com (via Anime Today) … and while I've not partaketh of this classic sci-fi anime, I am reminded of the "live"-action version from Alexandre Aja (Remember this awesome image?) that may or may not be happening … and suddenly classic tv series "Moonlighting"'s "David Addison Jr." x "City Hunter" anime flashes across my mind … altho, I'd rather not see a Bruce Willis with a blonde-wig, thanks … ;p
Apologies for my inane ramblings … to make up for it, here's a rendition of the "Cobra The Space Pirate" theme by Sasja Antheunis:
"Seeking reprieve from a painfully ordinary 9-to-5 existence, mild-mannered office worker Johnson visits the TM Corporation, a company that sells virtual dreams.
In Johnson's dream adventure, he's the notorious space pirate Cobra! Accompanied by his android partner Lady Armaroid, Cobra fights the lowlife scum of the Pirate Guild by day and saves sultry sirens of space by night. After the journey is over, events unfold that bring reality into focus. His experience wasn't a dream at all -- it was a reawakening of his buried past!
With the most feared weapon in the universe, the Psycho Gun, Cobra sets out into the galaxy in pursuit of love, fortune and fame!"
