12 | Galaxy Cyclone Braiger was an anime series aired from 1981 to 1982 in Japan. There were 39 episodes aired. It is the first series from the J9 Series. |
13 | |
14 | In the year 2111, the solar system has been colonized. Earth has been divided into four power blocs: Omega, Red Dragon, Volga and Nubia. Nubia and its leader, Khamen Khamen, hatch a plan to rule the solar system in which Jupiter is destroyed, leading to the creation of over 30 smaller planets that could sustain life. However, such a plan would lead to the destruction of Earth. |
15 | |
16 | Standing in Nubia's way is Team [=J9=], comprised by Isaac Godonov, consisting of himself, Blaster Kid, Stephen Bowie, and Angel Omachi. With their robot Braiger, they are a team that will handle any missions the police will not in the asteroid belt. |
17 | |
18 | The series was supposedly inspired by real-life scientific research and used a lot of Korean talents at the lower ranks of production. The show mostly became well known due to its character designs resembling those of ''Manga/LupinIII'' (Kazuo Komatsubara was asked to design characters similar to Lupin's) and the catchy opening theme with its animation done by the legendary Yoshinori Kanada. |
19 | |
20 | It's also known in Japan for being the first TV anime to have an on-screen sex scene |
21 | |
22 | It has two sequels: Baxinger and [[Anime/GalacticWhirlwindSasuraiger Sasuraiger]]. They are set 600 and 800 years later, respectively. |
