I have a small obsession. Star Blazers. It was a quirky cartoon that was shown in the 70s. It is mostly forgotten and lost to lore. So much of the show sucked (by today's stardards): A WW2 Battleship gets retro-fitted and launches out into space yet all of the physics remain the same (it shoots it's guns and suffers from kickback/waddle, it catches on fire, etc...). But this was one of the first space stories (actually released in Japan pre Star Wars, here after Star Wars), it had a running story (arc?), and characters with dynamic personalities and flaws.
A while back I was able to download about 20 of the first 30 episodes of the first season. They have been on my computer for a 18 months and I have only truly found time to watch maybe 16 or 18. But still, I thought I was bizarre and had a problem.
That is until I saw this, (a guy spent up to $300 to have a Volton painted on his $300 goalie mask)
