TRITON OF THE SEA Introduction

Above is the opening video from one of my all-time favorite anime series, TRITON OF THE SEA.

The concept for TRITON was originally created by Osamu Tezuka (you should know who he is). The show was directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino (creator of GUNDAM) and produced by Yoshinobu Nishizaki (co-creator of YAMATO).

The series deserves far more attention than it has gotten in the English-speaking world - even without the important people who worked on it, it's a great show in its own right.

Here is an article on the series from Voyager Entertainment's Star Blazers website (beware of spoilers):

Readers,

My apologies for the cut-and-paste links. Blogger won't let me edit Youtube posts.

"Osamu Tezuka's English page" should read "Tezuka Productions' English page". Obviously, dead men cannot code web pages.
