Kinda dope that TMS's first anime was a collab between them & Tezuka Pro all the way for them to collaborate again a few years ago with MUTEKING the Dancing Hero

For anyone wondering why TMS went from Episode 1 to Episode 11, it's because the vast majority of Big X's first half is lost media, and by that I mean it's ACTUAL, LITERAL lost media, not the "I can't find it on YouTube, so it must be lost" kind that people have used to dilute the term.

As of right now, only Episodes 1, 11, & 40 to 59 of Big X are currently available for TMS to release in any form, and Episode 11 wasn't rediscovered until 2014. Beyond those only Episodes 5 & 30 were known to still exist in some form as late as 1990, when they re-aired on TV at the time, leaving Episodes 2-4, 6-10, & 12-39 100% unconfirmed to still exist beyond their original airings in the 60s.

Not surprised by this, it was a subject of a topic thread I started a few years back.
