SPACE CARRIER BLUE NOAH (Commonly Known as Thundersub) (宇宙空母ブルーノア, Uchū Kūbo Burū Noa?) is a science fiction anime TV series produced by Office Academy which ran in Japan from October 13, 1979 through March 30, 1980. Released overseas in English by the name "Thundersub". Set in the year 2052, Earth has found peace throughout the universe. But, The Death Force - ruthless aliens from a dying solar system called Terrorstar attacked the Earth to make it their own. For Mankind there is one hope, It's up to Colin Collins & a small band of students to fight on a top secret space carrier that can fight the invaders on the seas or in space. Zipang Zipang (ジパング, Jipangu?) is a twenty six episode anime series directed by Furuhashi Kazuhiro and produced by Studio Deen. It aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System in Japan from late 2004 to early 2005, and was licensed for release in North America by Geneon Entertainment with DVD release starting in September 2006. It was adapted from the manga of the same name by Kaiji Kawaguchi. The newest, most modern warship in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, the guided missile destroyer Mirai sets sail from Japan on a training exercise with the U.S. Navy. Enroute, they encounter a strange meteorological anomaly. The Mirai loses contact with her sister ships but finds herself sailing by the unmistakable shape of the battleship Yamato. The Mirai eludes the Imperial Japanese fleet and, reluctantly, the crew realizes that they have traveled sixty years into their past to the early days of World War II. Their first desire is to return home, and to insure that they have a home to which to return they decide to do nothing that will change history. That good intention does not last long, however, and gradually they are drawn into the conflict, though they continue to refuse to choose one side over another. The struggle of the crew from a modern, peaceful, and wealthy Japan to resist the nationalistic appeal of defending their country, knowing that in this time it is ruled by a brutal, totalitarian and militaristic government is the central theme of Zipang. The basic premise of Zipang, a modern warship thrown back in time to World War II, was used over twenty years earlier in the movie, The Final Countdown (1980). In that movie, the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is transported back to the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. But the Nimitz returns to its own time before it can have any observable impact on history. In the Axis of Time novels by John Birmingham, a US-led naval task force from the near future is sent back in time, also to the Battle of Midway. In Birmingham’s novels history is immediately changed when the modern ships appear so there is no attempt to remain neutral or to not interfere. Though all three of these works of fiction start with a very similar premise, each has a completely different outcome. |
