Yatterman (Yatta-man)

[Bllue]

Have any of you seen this anime? I've not seen it, but it looks old. I'm thinking of looking for it. Unless some birdy tells me it's not so great xD

OOH, WANT TO WATCH IT TOGETHER?!

I've heard the name, but I've never seen it. The name alone makes me suspect that it's generic action.

hahaha help me download it and I'd so watch it with you! actually, they made a live action, and they showed that at NY Comic Con, and I've heard nothing but good. I could get you links to that subbed as soon as they're out, if you're interested. that won't be for a while, though >.> The anime came out in the 70's but apparent'y the started re-making it last year. so what should we try? the old or new? the old has about 170 episodes..... >.>

I'm game, thanks to these particular clips:

2008 Presidential Debate, Anime-Style

Obama-kun and Hillary-chan 1

Obama-kun and Hillary-chan 2

The video descriptions say the show is still on-going. If we're talking about this new version, I'd be willing to watch it. I'm less inclined to view something from the 70's because I'm prejudiced about its quality. 170 episodes of bad animation? No thanks!

The live-action version looks hilarious!

Overall, Yatterman looks very flamboyant. I get the vibe that they're reaching out to girls with the character design and main villain.

Hahahaha I couldn't listen to it because I'm at school, but that was funny. From what I've seen, Yatta-man has always been pulling jokes on the present(even in the 70's), making fun of anything and everything, really with no reservations, which is why the Live-action is so wild xD I think I'll actively search for the anime when finals are done...
