Kaibutsu-Kun special 2 . . .Of course I can't be unhappy !

Why do I love Kaibutsu-Kun ? Well, Ohno Satoshi might be a good reason, but also I think I grew to like old japanese comics and I think japanese succed in remaking those old animation. Even YOU who aren't interested in japanese animation may have watched some of them in your youth like : Astro boy, Goldorak, Candy, Albator, Sailor Moon etc.

Kaibutsu-kun was first seen on television in 1968 also Yatterman first appeared in 1977 both were remake recently in live action (real actors) and were excellent, even tho I thought at some point that Yatterman wasn't that much for kids, a little bit too much subliminal and some totaly not subliminal references to sexuality.

Maybe I get easily interested by it because I come from the Pokemon generation, or maybe my kid cheezy side does shows up alot. I have to admit that one of my favorite movie is Feivel Goes West hahaha watching it again is always as much entertaining has when i was 8 years old.

 So today I will watch the second special of Kaibutsu-Kun, in a few days a sequel of the series will be out has a movie in Japan, so I sure am happy to be able to get more of this Monster prince.

Here is a preview of the 1968 Kaibutsu-Kun saddly without subtitles but you can still get an idea

To tell you in short the story is about the prince of the Monster World who has to go to the human world to take a training to succed to the throne, of course Kaibutsu-kun meets humans but also demons. And so alot of adventures comes forth with his 3 monster friends (or should i say minions) : Dracula, the wolf man and Frankenstein

Do not be scared to dare to watch movies or series from other countries in other languages (with subtitles in english of course) I think asian offers a greater variety and it can be refreshing from the good old american style, even tho I do love some occidental series ( House, Bones, The Game of Thrones, Lost, The Borgias etc.)

Have a good night, what ever you may enjoy watching :)
