Eight Man (Omoide no Anime Library 134)

[Machine Translation] Eight-Man," the original super robot hero representing the dawn of animation, is finally being released on Blu-ray for the first time in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of its first broadcast! Eightman is voiced by Sakae Takayama, an employee of TBS at the time. He was chosen because there was no one better suited for the role than him. The animation and storyline, while aimed at children, are appealing enough to be appreciated by adults as well! --Hachiro Higashi, a good detective of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 1, is trapped by the evil pistol gang Denden Bug and hit by a car and killed. Eight-Man fights for justice as the eighth detective who does not belong to any of the seven detective squads of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. Only Chief Tanaka knows his secret. Contains 56 episodes. Includes commentary, reprint of the Sonosheet Book (condensed version) (*Sonosheets are not included), and reprint of Eightman stickers.
