Day 5! Our new theme is shows with the word "gun" in the title.
Gun Frontier is a show by Leiji Matsumoto. He's famous for space operas like
Captain Harlock,
Space Battleship Yamato, and (one of my top favorite animes ever)
Galaxy Express 999. But
Gun Frontier is . . . actually completely different from all those shows.
Unlike being a Western masquerading as a Pirate Adventure masquerading as Science Fiction,
Gun Frontier is . . .
just a Western. It's also insanely sexist, to the point where I got uncomfortable numerous times watching. Uhh . . . great(???!)
But one cool thing about it is that it stars, not Harlock, but his side-kick Tochiro as the main character. The little guy gets to shine!
In this he's a kick-ass samurai, which means he can . . . strip bad guys naked with his sword.
Let him demonstrate.
Marvelous!
Can't have a Western without running the bad guys out of town . . .
Gun Frontier.
