Albator 78´s first transmission on A2
Sany van Tran
first I want to apologize for using English in a French forum,
unfortunately my French writing skills are still lacking. ^^;;
While studying the international distribution history of "Uchū kaizoku
Captain Harlock" (or Herlock if that´s what you prefer ;) aka "Albator
78 - Le corsaire de l'espace" I´ve noticed that the series was first
broadcasted in France on Antenne 2 from March 14th 1978 to February
2nd 1979 (Source: http://www.albator2980.com/). Can anyone else
confirm these data?
It seems pretty strange to me cause that´s exactly the same start and
end date of the original Japanese transmission on TV Asahi (March 14th
1978 to February 2nd 1979, every Tuesday 19:00 ~ 19:30). That would
mean that the series was broadcasted simultaneously in France and
Japan (which I think is unlikely given the fact that only 39 episodes
of Harlock made it on A2). A mighty coincidence or is there actually a
background story to all of this?
Thanks in advance for your input.

As Philippe said, it's a mistake.

You're probably aware of this, but the last episodes were dubbed a
couple of years ago, and were partly broadcasted on France 3 (our 3rd
channel).

The only Japanese series I know of which has been broadcast
approximately at the same time in France is Sherlock Holmes (Meitantei
Holmes / Sherlock Hound), in november 1984.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I´ve to update the date in my
database. Come to think of it, the "78" in the French title seems to
indicate the Japanese premiere while "84" is the French premiere.
Pretty confusing stuff, hehe. :-)

Yes, I´ve read that. Episode 40 and 41 were both broadcasted as part
of the "Generation Albator"-program on Christmas 99 and 00 IIRC. A
nice present for all Harlock-Fans in France. :)
René, I want to ask you for a favor. I am in the process to create a
expanded staff list for the first Harlock TV series, but I´ve problems
with some Japanese names I can´t transcribe properly (or don´t know if
the romaji-spelling is the correct one). Maybe you can take a look at
the list and tell me what you think about it. While still incompleted
(damn, there are just too many key animators ;), you can find the list
here:
http://www.geocities.com/deepdownhere/harlock1.html
The names in question come with a * attached to it.
Thanks.

The first series is called "Albator" here.
The "78" was added by fans as a means to distinguish it from the later
"Albator 84".

I thought it was later ;)

Not so sure... The voice acting is awful, and they (again !!!) replaced
the original Seiji Yokoyama soundtrack by lousy music from Eric Charden
(only, he made it 20 years later, so he felt somehow compelled to give
it a techno edge. Yuck.)

Hey, I was about to put on my website the list of Saint Seiya's
*in-betweeners* at one point... ;-)
>you can find the list
>here:

I'd say "RinTarô" instead of "Rintarô" (to point out the nickname's
structure)
"Yamazaki" instead of "Yamasaki" (no ?)
Takao Satô instead of Takarô
Katsumi Minokuchi instead of Minoguchi (his name is in one of the Saint
Seiya databooks)
Minoru Mutô...Could be Minori as well...
The rest looks fine to me.

Hmm, I´ve thought that the "78" was added to the video title by Sony
or AK Vidéo. "Albator 78" is what they use for the video/DVD release.

Well, Germany isn´t known for its excellent adaptation attempts
either. And we´ve never got the possiblity to see any anime of
Matsumoto on TV with the exception of "Queen Millenia" which was
broadcasted looooooong ago on Tele 5. ^^;;

That´d definitely kill me. ;)
It might be possible to do that for one anime, but not for all 3500.
Transcribing Japanese names is really a pain in the ass, especially if
you don´t know where to draw a line. "Wow, a list of all key-animators
who´ve worked on Doraemon?! Got to translate that straight away."
Something like that.. ^^;;;

Yes they did add the 78, but it was much later.
I always thought it was confusing not to call the series "80" (or "late
79") while the second one was billed as "84". Anyway.
I already mentioned the name "Albator 78" back in 1994 when writing a
series of articles for my fanzine (which ended up on my website as
well). So I guess the name dates way back before the series come out on
video (~1997-98 I'd say).

You never got the original soundtrack for Captain Future, I think :)

And it's not his best TV series.... (but probably the most down-to-earth
among his sci-fi works though.)
btw it's MillenNia ;)

There aren't a lot of in-betweeners for early TV series. About 1,5 times
the number of key animators I'd say.
I originally wanted to do that listing, because I'd noticed that the
co-key animator of Saint Seiya episode 74 (beautiful first Asgard
episode), along with genga goddess Michi Himeno, was an in-betweener
on... the very first episode ;)

Well I only care about the people whose pictures I thought were
awe-inspiring... ;) Well maybe not, since I remember the names of some
BAD animators, such as Mitsuo Shindo or Susumu Ishizaki. (okay, so I
have trouble drawing a line too. I'm a sucker for these things. And
anyway Shindo did some okay work on Candy Candy and Ishizaki on Kamui no
ken.)

Don't bother... I'm not sure I would even listen ;) (I'm a very stubborn
guy when it comes to staff lists. Silly little me.)

Well, it´s the series that started it all, right?
It sets the foundation for both Harlock and Galaxy Express. That alone
would make it an integral part of the Leijiverse. Now if they could
rebroadcast it on German TV.
>btw it's MillenNia ;)

Anime movies are currently my main focus. I have tried to track down
as many key and inbetween animators as possible. For early Tôei movies
such as "Hakujaden", "Ali Baba to 40-piki no tôzoku", "Andersen
monogatari", "Andersen dôwa: Ningyo-hime", "Arabian Night: Sindbad no
bôken" or "Anju to Zushiômaru" the numbers of key animators seem to
range from 8 to 15, while the inbetween animators tend to be twice as
much.

Wow, what a revealment!! ;)
Speaking of Himeno, do you know what she´s currently doing? The last
time I spotted her name was in the staff list of Monkey Punch´s latest
movie "Siam Cat". She and Araki were responsible for the retro-look of
the characters. Other than that, her main work in the recent years
seem to be the Pokémon-kin "Yu-Gi-Oh" which is scheduled to premiere
in Germany soon. Though I´ve always thought that the Yu-Gi-Oh´s
characters are as ugly as sin. ^^;

I can´t take that liberty, cause my goal is the total collection of
all animators´ names I can get my hand on, harhar.. ^__^;
A propos bad animators, I´ve yet to make a list of the ones who worked
on "The Hakkenden". Hell, that´s probably the most uneven anime series
I´ve ever seen with some animation that can only described as abysmal
(hentai not included). Episode 10 is so unbelievably bad animated that
I thought it was some sort of experimental clip. ^^;;;

Queen Millennia ? You kiddin' me ? :o)
It was made around 1981...
Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express started in 1978.
The series "that started it all" would probably be Yamato instead. Game
Matsumoto his anime fame, and allowed him to get his new works turned to
anime.
Basically the one that started it all is the character of Captain
Harlock. There's an article on my website which explains how he was born
(in the 50's) and how he evolved each time he appeared in Matsumoto's
early works. He even was in the Yamato manga. When he got his own manga,
it quickly turned into an anime, as flawed as it was. (But I personally
think the manga was much more flawed...)
>It sets the foundation for both Harlock and Galaxy Express.
I guess you're saying that because it happens in 1999, and Yayoi a.k.a.
Promesium is supposed to become Maetel's and Emeraldas' mother. But that
was only a given fact in Maetel Legend, which came out a couple of years
ago... Before that, it was only a very confuse idea in Matsumoto's mind.
I don't think he made it up in the 70's... He created Maetel first. Then
he created Promesium. And left it that way, unresolved, for 20 years.

I didn't check for Hakujaden and Sinbad (which are the only movies I
have that you quote), but Hakujaden's animation was really good (very
Chinese-like).
Ningyo-hime... Are you talking about the 1975 Toei movie ?

Working on Saint Seiya Hades. I don't know exactly what she's doing on
it, but she's been a genga on episode 1.

Oh ?

That wouldn't be the first time Araki Productions worked with Monkey
Punch (ref. Lupin III 3rd series), and even less on the Lupin character
(ref. aborted Lupin VIII, episode 1)

I've seen a couple of episodes on French TV of the Dual Monsters series.
It's ugly as hell. (And it's even more stupid than I thought.)
I was really scared Araki & co wouldn't be able to switch back to their
previous character style after all the time they spent on Shoot,
Kindaichi, Gegege no Kitarô and the infamous Yugi-o...

I hope for you you've got the 1994 edition of the Newtype Animesoft
Catalog :) It's close to the best source you can get for quickly getting
a given animator's career... (Apart from an Internet search, but even
then there's always going to be some possibility of a mistake.)

Sorry, I´ve probably misphrased it a little bit. I was actually
referring to the chronology of the Leijiverse itself, in which "Queen
Millennia" marks the story´s starting point.

Well well, as a fan of the Leijiverse you should know by now that time
and space have their own logic in the mind of Matsumoto. ;)

Which might be due to the story itself originating from a Chinese
legend. ^^
Serious now, I´ve always hold the opinion that early Japanese
animators were as much influenced from Chinese animations (the Wang
brothers, "The Princess With the Iron Fan" 1941) as they were from
American works. Tezuka might have been stunned by Bambi, but it was
actually "The Princess.." which motivated him to enter the animation
field.

Exactly.

Actually no. :)
But I am using something similar. The anime LD&LD catalogs of Metamol
which does include staff and cast data of each listed anime title. The
data are not as extensive as I´ve hoped but they are more or less up
to date. The last edition was from 2000. I just bought Gakken´s "Anime
Bible 2002" the other day. A nice book whose topics range from Best
anime&manga titles to a pretty impressive list of (nearly all) anime
produced between 1917 and 2002. The last section features eight
artists in the animation industry which the authors think will become
the next major players. Who would come to your mind? ^^
Those 8 artists are
+ MORITA Hiroyuki (director of Ghibli´s latest feature "Neko no
Ongaeshi")
+ KON Satoshi (damn, I want to see his "Millennium Actress" :))
+ IIDA Umanosuke (GONZO the first)
+ HARA Keiichi (director of some "Crayon Shin-chan" movies)
+ MAEDA Mahiro (GONZO the second)
+ GÔDA Hiroaki (his latest CD work, "Onegai Teacher" looks cute for
sure ;)
+ KAJIURA Yuki ("Noir" was her first major success as music composer,
I think she could become a true rival for Kanno in the next two years
if she sells her talent to the right shows)
+ SHINKAI Makoto (now _that_ is a surprise ;>)
I guess Hosoda could have made it to the list if he hasn´t been
excluded from "Howl´s Moving Castle".
What do you think of the list? Some entry make fine sense to me.
I still hesitate to consider Shinkai as the next star cause I´ve only
seen three shorts from him until now, though all 3 (Hoshi no Koe, She
and her cat, Wind) feature beautiful CG animation and some of the
finest optical composition I´ve seen so far that doesn´t necessarily
mean that he´s a good storyteller or animator for "conventional"
anime.

That sounds very interesting. Do you know if the catalog is still
available? Also the ISBN would be a good start point, onegai. :)

The wheel of time, or something like that. Yes.

It's not that... old. It was released the same day I was born ;)
Do you have the complete genga / sakuga kantoku list for this movie ? I
guess Shingo Araki worked on it.

As for the Newtype Animesoft Catalog. Only, the 2000 edition doesn't
have the cast & staff careers at the end of the book. It only has the LD
& DVD & tapes with a photo, summary, cast list and staff list for each.

Yeah I like this guy :o))) Did some good work on Nadia, and even better
work on Blue Submarine 6. (Not too convinced about his other works but
at least he's gifted.)
>+ GÔDA Hiroaki (his latest CD work, "Onegai Teacher" looks cute for

That's the man who directed (or designed ??) Ah my goddess, isn't it ?
Well, he's good, but THAT good....?? I always thought the better stuff
in AMG was the soundtrack in episodes 4 and 5 ;)

You think she's a girl ?
Well anyway, I liked Noir's soundtrack, but... his work on Shin Kimagure
Orange Road really disappointed me. I wanted Shiro Sagisu back >_<
>+ SHINKAI Makoto (now _that_ is a surprise ;>)
I'm still very lazy about watching his Hoshi no koe... I don't know why,
since it's so short.... ;)

Masahiro Hosoda ?

What's this ?

I've never seen more than the teaser for Hoshi no koe... ;) Sounds too
Eva-ish to me.

The 1994 edition isn't, unfortunately.

I think that Noir's soundtrack was good alright, but his work on .hack//SIGN
sounds exactly the same music to me.
So I think I'll wait to see if he can vary his style a little before raising
him to the heights of Kanno.

Well that's not exactly it, actually much more like Kareshi Kanojo no
Gunbuster.
And since it's short and the backgrounds and layouts are so beautiful, I
think it's worth the time watching it.

The next Ghibli movie project.
