Tobor The 8th Man is Back!

Astro Boy was first, then Gigantor. They were odd looking and black & white, they sounded different than the normal cartoons we watched. The came Speed Racer and we were fully engulfed in the Japanimation craze that remains to this day. The 'forgotten' show from Japan was Tobor The 8th man. Of course Tobor is robot spelled backward, but most kids had that figured out pretty quickly. After having not seen the show for decades I ws amazed that I could sing along with the song's open the very first time I saw it on Hi Tops TV.Com, the classic kids channel on TV4U.Com. Lots of fun!
