	Took some time off this month as April is usually "Crunch Month" and it was a refreshing break. I have a final next Thursday so I'm not entirely in the clear right now, but the finish line is near. A little digital-detox never hurts anyone.		Took some time off this month as April is usually "Crunch Month" and it was a refreshing break.

	If you watch the Robert Mandell bonus clip included on the GR DVD set, you'll hear about some of Mr. Mandell's projects and influences. I started re-watching Thunderbirds 2086 and though I remembered parts of it, it sits at the edge of my non-mainstream cartoon history as I was roughly 10 when it aired. I figured it might be good to stop and back track a little into a show that Mandell cited as a major influence: Space Adventure Cobra.}}		If you watch the Robert Mandell bonus clip included on the GR DVD set, you'll hear about some of Mr. Mandell's projects and influences.

	Before you sit down with the kids to watch this one, be aware that by episode four you'll get your first view of breasts and that Cobra's main weapon tends to go right through whatever it is shot at.

	I'm not going to go into a description of the show or why it might look familiar in some scenes, if you want that go read [http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/space-adventure-cobra-offers-a-dazzlingly-strange-final-frontier/ Space Adventure Cobra Offers a Dazzlingly Strange Final Frontier] by [http://twitter.com/@mach_dent Mike Dent]. What I will say here is that over a handful episodes you can see a few character archetypes that are eerily familiar. From the back-alley information giver in "One Million Emotions" to a moment of holy crap is that Darkstar? No.. wait, that's a mask. Subtle things here and there. The left arm of the protaganist being a weapon and the word "psycho" in the weapon title? Subtle things.}}		I'm not going to go into a description of the show or why it might look familiar in some scenes, if you want that go read [http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/space-adventure-cobra-offers-a-dazzlingly-strange-final-frontier/ Space Adventure Cobra Offers a Dazzlingly Strange Final Frontier] by [http://twitter.com/@mach_dent Mike Dent].

	Space Adventure Cobra, at least the 1980's version that I'm up to episode 16 in, is a fun watch. Very tongue in cheek and if you're watching the subtitled version then you're getting all the awesomeness of the original voice actor: the vocal effects of Nachi Nozawa while dodging shots fired is hilarious. Villains like Crystal Boy (Bowie?) are just... villainous and ruthless. While the majority of GR stories are self-contained, Cobra maintains a two-three episode story arc approach that allows for some time to develop a villain along a single plot point. This not only grabs you for the "what happens next" element like we get in [[Gift of Life]] and [[Sundancer]], but hooks you in a little deeper than the "in and out in 23 minutes approach" because things are fleshed out a bit more.
