i felt compel to write a review for space cobra a it have receive a good score of 7 . 3 star but only a few of the review at the time of me write this be particularly positive . a strange situation and hopefully my positive review will point people towards this old and mostly forgotten anime movie . space cobra be the funky tale of a smuggler and rogue who become involve with the three sister of an ancient and dead planet and an evil force who want to harness the planet power . this be an old movie and the animation show and but what it lack in modern sophistication it make up with an abundance of charm . space cobra be very much gear to a western audience and very easy to watch . there be few if any reference to specific japanese culture and great for anime novice to watch and enjoy . space cobra himself be witty and likable . i can not say how much of this be due to the english dub or the intention of the maker and but this be one of the few japanese comedy character that i find truly funny . the style be very sixties barbarellish with a fantastic soundtrack by yello . the style be colourful and imaginative and there be constant action to move the story along . the strange aspect of this movie be how it begin a a comedy and end on a very downbeat dramatic note . i can not think of another anime or general movie that have be able to do this so seamlessly and convincingly . you barely realise that it be happen and but it be do so subtly and seem perfectly natural . you also really feel the character go on a journey and theyre life be change by the whole experience . check out if you can .
