Ulysse 31 (1981–1982)
10/10
It has aged incredibly well and worth seeing!
30 December 2022
Having grown up in France, it was one of my childhood favorites among Space Pirate Cobra, Albator (Captain Harock) and Rémi Sans Famille (Nobody's boy). Recently seen the whole serie again and it has aged like a fine wine. I can't believe how incredibly creative the episodes were. The original French script was very good, the visuals and designs by TMS excellent, the music was out of this world. I recommend seeing it in French with subtitles as the dubbed versions doesn't do it justice. Adapting a story as ancient and well known as Homer's Odysseus into a sci-fi space opera must have been incredibly challenging but they pulled it off! Without taking anything from this, someone should turn this into an episodic live action serie. But you need an authentic fan of the original at the helm to stay true to that vision. It's a beautiful production and well worth seeing.

Confusing as hell
9 August 2020
There's too much lore going on. I've watched the series and kind went along with the story but this thing is a mess. It felt more like 6 episodes stuck together for a movie. All the characters are way too emotional and overly dramatic. What's with the weird robot-philia fantasy. The German words. It's so ridiculous! Even the climax was unintelligible. Where are all the plain revenge killing anime these days.
