Customer Reviews of Space Adventure Cobra (Sub)
Awesome cartoon butchered to cater U.S. audience I was 15 when I saw the Cobra TV series, back in 1987. The impression I got from this ultra-cool character lingers to this day. The stories were very imaginative, the settings amazing, the character made all his dangerous adventures look easy. Not to mention the rarity of that time of having a TV cartoon with nudity and a hero smoking cigars to breathe underwater! <

>I thought I was the only fan of this cult TV show until I saw Cobra in the Matthew Sweet videos which were played on MTV ad-nauseam in the early 90s. Maybe because of the popularity of these music videos ("Girlfriend" and "I've been waiting") they decided to release this atrocity to the U.S. audiences. This videotape has one of Cobra's most popular stories, but somehow they stripped all the coolness of his character. The plot now is quite incoherent and hard to follow. Very lame. <

>If you want to know why Cobra became a cult hit, skip this video and demand the original TV show to be released in the U.S.
Not even close
This video/"movie" does this awesome character no justice. The story is all cramped up, and the dubbing (as is the case with most english language anime) is terrible.
It's a shame, since the TV series and manga are A+, but hey, even Cobra isn't perfect.
Buy this item only if you must...
The Series is Great. The Movie is Not.
Space Adventure Cobra started as a great manga and then an excellent TV Anime. This movie, unfortunately, represents the only mis-step in Buichi Terasawas' distinguished works of Cobra. In the manga, the story takes several installments to unfold; in the TV series, it takes five espisodes (180mins); but that same plot is cramped and rushed in this Anime length movie. The dubbing is terrible and the movie (sighs) looks dated in this millennium.
I'm a Cobra fans for as long as I could remember but this movie is not its best moment. If you can get your hands on the manga or TV series, so do. Watch it only if you're a die-hard fan like I am, but be prepare for the disappointment.
