In the 24th Century, space adventurer Cobra, charismatic vagabond with mysterious past and a powerful "psychogun" for a hand, fights diabolical crime syndicate known as the Galactic Guild with the help of his android friend Lady Armaroid. The space-pirate Cobra (the man with the Psychogun in his left arm) is hunted by the police and mysterious guild. He changes his appearance and deletes his memory, but 5 years later his memory returns, together with his faithful robot Lady, he begins his quest for the lost treasure of Captain Nelson. "Space Adventure Cobra" is amazing in every way, it's cool, it's funny, and just so damn good it's unbelievable. The story is touching, Cobra is in some ways doomed to be alone, as he is always hunted by the guild. He is tossed into a tragic relationship with Captain Nelsons three daughters. The villains are bizarre and wonderful, especially the mysterious Zigoba, the sadistic Mr.Shultz, and of course Crystalboy. The music in the show is very good, nice and jazzy, and the main theme is just so catchy. Swedish dubbing was 10/10, with a memorable performance from Tomas Bolme. Space Adventure Cobra will forever be one of the best animated TV-shows ever made. A long time has gone by since I saw this anime, but it stuck in my head. Seeing it was like a dream. It is a bit abstract, not a rational film, quite romantic. I want to see it again!<br/><br/>Cobra (his right hand is a big gun, and he has the highest bounty of the universe on his head) and Jane (and her sisters), play good together.<br/><br/>I heard the film being called a sex-and-lasers space fantasy and that it would be the spiritual sister of Barbarella, and that sounds right to me. Give it a chance, don't turn away because of the its strong romanticism , and you will be rewarded.
