Does anyone remember this REALLY old anime?

Postby pikmintaro » Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:58 pm

I was on Youtube earlier and I stumbled across this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2CScfyw4Jk

I swear I had completely forgotten about this show but after seeing the first few seconds of that video and the music alot of old memories suddenly came flooding back to me I think this may have been one of the first TV shows I have ever watched and I didn't even realize it was an Anime until just finding it again a few minutes ago and doing some research.

Ahhh good times.

The subject of Superbook comes up pretty often around here. Often as the answer to the question "Is there any Christian anime?"

Anyway, yes. Very good stuff.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

It used to be on the Family Channel back when it was called the Christian Broadcasting Network. Along with Flying House.
I hear there's a remake in the works.

Aww, I used to love Superbook as a kid. ^^ I also never realized it was actually anime before I searched Google for Christian anime.

Welcome to CAA, by the way. And if my original response sounded abrupt I apologize. Wasn't intended that way.

It's that scary avatar, Eric. You're intimidating people with your old bust up shield and cardboardy looking sword.

Yes, there is CGI version of SuperBook in the works! 8D It actually looks decent, in my opinion... and they got some decent VAs. A few that have done voices for anime characters.

I've always preferred The Flying House to Superbook because, I feel, that show was better written.

Thus far, Superbook is the only adaptation of the Bible (animated, live action, or otherwise) that takes on (some of) the events of Judges. Props for that, at least.

I think what I remember the most from that opening is Satan Snake with that red flash in his eye.

I remember that used to scare me when I was younger.

Indeed. That, and the whole idea of an entire HOUSE being a time machine is pretty dang sweet.

I love this show! My mom and dad taped like half the episodes for us a while back.
I probably like flying house better, but Super book is still really good.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

Memories, I used to watch Super Book (seems like so many others too ^^). I think I used to have a VHS of it, I wonder what happened to it? I haven't really seen Flying House, I think I might of seen like the beginning before.
