Anybody remember Thunderbirds 2086?
..Yeah I’m betting you’re not familiar with it >_>
Take the concept of Thunderbirds (a highly advanced rescue team with high tech vehicles), set it in the far future, make it anime and you’ve got Thunderbirds 2086. I don’t even remember if this was popular in the states but it was basically an adaptation of the show TechnoVoyager.
I’ve always been interested in seeing the original version and after marathoning 8 straight episodes of Gerry Anderson’s other classic show, UFO (which is quite awesome by the way), I roamed YouTube and finally got my wish. Bad quality but nonetheless, I finally got to see it ^_^
And for some reason I’m thinking Shigeru Chiba is involved with this somehow. Don’t ask me why I think that, I just do. Maybe somebody can put my suspicions to rest.
In the meantime, I’ll be humming the opening for the next three days. Take care all.

Thunderbirds 2086 episodes are being posted by someone on YouTube. Whoever he is, he’s put up most of them in the last few months.
