Hi!
I once watched an ANime in my Childhood, i was on vacation in Italy. It was a very dramatic sci-fi anime i think with a bad ending, but i'm not sure. There were Some Alien COnquerors and a Familiy Father was Mutated to a working machine/slave , like the other men, he mutated later again to a froglike-man and controlled a giant war robot against the human resistance. His Mind was controlled by the invaders... i dont know much about this film, but i think his son was with the resistance and finaly fought against his mutated father in the end... so, does anybody know this anime? whats the title?

Though I cant help you with your question (Sorry!), I figure I'll take this topic opportunity to ask about an anime of my own:
About 10 years ago, a local cartoon channel showed some anime. Among them was Robotech and Galaxy Express 999. Anyways, one of the movies was about a kid who played soccer. He had a special kick, the "UFO kick"(!), which was basically a bicycle kick, but the force of the kick flattened the ball out in flight into a UFO type shape. I've asked many people about this, including the so-called "Answerman", but no one knows. |

Isn't that Captain Tsubasa? I've never read it, but you can easily find the French translation of the soccer-themed Captain Tsubasa manga here at any Montreal bookstore. Is there an animated version of it? |

It very well may be this Captain Tsubasa you speak of. A cursory evaluation has not revealed any UFO kick within Captain Tsubasa, but that doesnt eliminate the possibility.
Thanks for the info. Secondly, I stumbled upon the Answerman post where he responded to my question. When I looked before, I had not seen that. I hereby withdraw my intended slight directed at Answerman and I thank him too. |

I didn't remember that Zac gave Captain Tsubasa as the probable name of the anime too (I only found the column with your question when I tried to look up "UFO Kick" on Google), but if Zac seconds me here, it most likely *is* Captain Tsubasa. If not that, perhaps Ashita e Free Kick, but I don't think that anime is quite of the same vintage as Captain Tsubasa.
As a charter member of the Canadian branch of "Keep Our Own Kids Safe", an advocacy group dedicated to informing parents about the dangers of juvenile soccer, I'm glad that Captain Tsubasa never really became popular in North America. We don't need cartoons with insidious pro-soccer propaganda, probably funded by money from "Big Soccer" companies like Adidas or Mizuno, to encourage kids playing soccer, becase we all know that the more kids play soccer, the more soccer-ralted injuries there will be. Myself, I've been trying to get Quebec booksellers Renaud-Bray to take the French trnaslations of the Captain Tsubasa manga volumes off store shelves, or at least put them out of sight and out of reach from kids. |

Kids playing soccer is much more dangerous than them having access to guns!

I don't know... sounds vaguely like that late-90s attempt to emulate anime from the Sci-Fi Network, what was it called? "Invasion Earth" or something. Are you sure it was Japanese? The French do a fair amount (though nowhere near the number that either Japan or the United States make) of animated films that get no distribution whatsoever in North America. Even in Quebec, they only seem to distribute French animated films based on the lucrative B.D.* properties like Tintin and Asterix. B.D. = bande dessinées = comic book |

The anime you watched might have been made in Itaily, kind of like Korea and there look alikes.
Oh and Congrats Tenchi for hitting 200, while I stuck at my 102.
