1982 Overload!

As I’ve just got to the end of the 1982 episodes of UY it might be worth a look at what else was around on TV that year. And it turns out that 1982 was pretty awesome.

An anime update of the 70’s tokusatsu show.

  1. “Ochame Gami Monogatari Koro Koro Prorin” is actually spelled “Ochame Gami Monogatari Koro Koro Poron” (yes, I think the animenfo entry is wrong)…
    It’s a very popular series in italy, where it’s known as “C’era una volta Pollon” (Once upon a time, Pollon) and it’s really something I’d recommend to watch… It’s both really funny and interesting since it (sometimes) faithfully reproduces ancient greek myths…

    ’82 was really a great year, 4 of my favourite old animes from my childhood are listed here…

    Keep up with the great job on reviewing UY!

  2. Yeah, I suspected it was wrong when I was copying it in there, having run across it a few days back when I was trying to track down that UY storyboard artist who I can’t find the Anglicised name for.

    However it seems so far off the radar on English sites that I couldn’t find the name last night.

    However, I now see it’s listed as “Little Pollon” on wikipedia or “The Story of Little Goddess Roly-Poly Pollon”. I’m guessing Little Pollon is the name Enoki Films try to sell it under.

  3. Here in Spain it’s known as “La pequeña Pollon” (The Little Pollon). Ahh… I really have fond memories of it, and sure it was funny as Hades :)
    Thank you for posting this videos, great work!
    And please excuse my english ;P

  4. Well, actually in spanish it was spelled “Polon”. I suppose that was because in spanish Pollón means “big d*ck” :)
