Saber Rider & the Star Sheriffs: The Next Voltron? Lol Nope

- Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is an animated television space western, similar to the series The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers and BraveStarr that aired 52 episodes from 1987 to 1988.
The show was based on Star Musketeer Bismarck (星銃士ビスマルク, Seijūshi Bisumaruku), a Japanese anime series created by Studio Pierrot.
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs was brought over to the US in the hopes of replicating the success the company had with Voltron. It didn't work out that way.

Funny story: I went to a con one time to get a voice recording from Peter Cullen. While everyone else was asking for Optimus Prime clips I asked for the Ramrod transformation speech. Cullen completely forgot this show existed and needed me to write down the script. 😂
Goofy ahh peter
@@purpleowlanimation yeah you right
@@purpleowlanimation barely remembered in the us maybe
europe loves saber riders
Shinji also wore red. like in Super Sentai, red is an indicator that the character was the leader of the group.
Get in the goddamn robot cowboy, Shinji!
Yup.
Git along up in that big 'ol robot, ya hear now, Shinji?
This Shinji will gladly jump into Bismarck 😂
The Meme That Never Goes Away
@ranwolf76 If the robot is voiced by Optimus Prime then sure. Why not? Besides those Outriders are no "Angels." 😉
I loved Saber Rider and I was bummed when it stopped airing.
german bluray has english dub too
Hey! I just started binge watching this! Theirs just something nostalgic about hearing Peter Cullen voicing a giant transforming robot! Wait a minute.
Yeah i miss megas xlr too....
@@Lazrael32 Anyone remember Mazinger Z? I caught an episode once, and then after searching for months (maybe even a year), found it had been moved to 2am, in the morning! GG I could never stay up long enough to catch more than drifting in and out of consciousness glimpses.
*Loved Saber Rider when I was a kid. "Power stride, and ready to Ride!" 80's Forever!*
copied power rangers lol
@@Psychof1styup, Mazinger Z created by Go Nagi the reason why the mecha genre in anime is still somewhat living the anime and manga were both released in 1972 but the anime coming 2 months later if I remember, now mazinger is a big icon along with his super robot friends Koutetsu Jeeg, Getter Robo and Getter robo G, Great mazinger, Govarian, Groizer X, Grendizer and other Go Nagi characters
I love Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs - I'm still using Fireball in my profile picture! It was on at an obnoxiously early time in the morning in the UK on the Super Channel on cable TV, like 5.30 or 6am but was worth it. As a brit having Saber Rider as lead character was awesome, even if he is an unholy mashup of English and Scottish tropes, Colt is a legend and comedy gold. Ramrod as a giant cowboy robot whose entire chest turned into guns was glorious overkill. The show was fun, looked and sounded great (that music is fantastic) and had everything except success. Also I totally wanted to marry April, she was cute, kicked ass and could build super robots. Perfection.
Greez from switzerland. Whe had the superchannel as well. Whatched every weekend 😁 best channel ever
You're not the only one. ;)
Hi there fellow Fireball fan.
We had superchannel in Holland too. Loved saber rider and robotech
There are five German Audiobook-CDs of Saber-Rider, which are a continuation of the stroy, taking place some years after Nemesis got his ass kicked back in the phantom-zone (as the parallel world was called in Germany). it had the original voice actors, e.g. Christian Tramitz, Katrin Fröhlich, Florian Halm und Ekkehardt Belle - the only exception is: Arne Eltzholz, who doesn't reprise his role as Jesse Blue - because he was ill at that time, so his role got recast and got played by Phillip Moog.
By the way, if anyone is interested:
The German version goes: "Hoch damit und raus mit ihnen, volle Energie und fertig ist die Ramrod Infanterie." (Up with it and out with them - full energiey and the Ramrod infanterie is completed).
Wo gibt es die Audiobook CD's? Ich habe das als Kind auf Tele 5 verschlungen.
@@mindwipe80 Im Zweifelsfall bei Wonder Womans Cousinen, den Amazon(en). Such nach "Angriff auf Yuma" und du wirst fündig.
Add-on: What I also need to mention, is, that apparently the German Dub was sometimes way funnier than the American or Japanese Dub - they often poked fun at themselves and created some really cool sentences, something like "Nä, wat simmer wieder charming heute" (Well, we are charming today!), "Der ist so wichtig wie ein Arne auf dem Eltzholz" (He is as important as an Arne on the Eltzholz - which is a pun at Arne Eltzholz, who provided the first voice of Jesse Blue), or ""Na isses denn die possibility!"
Okay, one has to admit, that this cartoon was dubbed in the eighties, when this kind of dubbing was the way, we dubbed shows.
I think, it started in the seventies, with a little TV-Show called "The Persuaders", which was a crime-show starring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. When it was dubbed for the German market, rebranded as "Die Zwei" (The Two or probably more fitting: "Those two") a guy named "Rainer Brandt" started the dubbing process, introducing "Schnodderdeutsch", a mixture of Gutter Language, teenage slang and other sources. "Die Zwei" used with sentences like "Einen Russischen Landwein, bitte" (Russian country wine - "they meant Vodka")," „Lass doch die Sprüche, die setzen ja die nächste Folge ab!“[ (Stop talking like that, they'll cancel us next episode!), or "Sprich mal was schneller, Du bist sonst nicht mehr synchron." (talk faster - or you're not synchronous anymore), which of course had something to do with the problem of Dubbing in general. This version got so popular, that even Tony Curtis and Roger Moore heard of it and wanted Rainer Brandt to write new scripts for "The persuaders", which unfortunately never happened.
Lots of Shows and movies, that were dubbed in Germany, got the same treatment - which was not surprising, since Rainer Brandts way of working with the Dubbing was influential. Even Star Trek - which in the english version had some funny lines, too - got the Schnodderdeutsch-Treatment - and, so did Saber Rider.
@@deraltetrekkie6088 And don't forget about Colt suffering from the "Tramitz-Syndrome" for which there is sadly no cure :)
(With Christian Tramitz being the german voice of Colt and the aforementioned Syndrome being his constant chasing of the ladies whenever they were on shore leave for those not familiar with the german version)
Also a lot of the original german cast went on to become quite the household names mainly in dubbing but also some live action acting:
Christian Tramitz (Colt): well known actor, the voice of Marlin in Finding Nemo, Ted McGinley on Married with Children, to name but a few
Arne Elsholtz (Jessie Blue): He was the regular german voice of Tom Hanks, among others, sadly he died a few years ago, his replacement on SRATSS for the above mentioned CDs is Philipp Moog (Ewan Mc Gregor and Barney Stinson)
Norbert Gastell (Commander Eagle): He voiced J.J.Jameson on the 90's Spider-Man Cartoon, was an accomplished actor and the first german voice of Homer Simpson until he too sadly died.
Florian Halm (Fireball): lots of voice work, Castiel on Supernatural among others
Kathrin Fröhlich (April): Regular german voice of Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow among others.
Ekkehardt Belle (Saber Rider): Has been acting since the early 70s, his voice work include Lorenzo Lamas on Renegade and Kevin Sorbo as Hercules
Mannfred Erdmann (Ramrod/Narrator): This is the only instance in which the english version wins in my opinion, after all it's Peter Cullen he's up against, and while Mr. Erdmann did a lot of voice work too, he was the german voice of BA on the A-Team, and I just learned he's dead too, crap. In the end, who really wins, Optimus Prime or Zoidberg? (which is my point of contention for the english version winning here)
Basically magic happened during the recording of the german version because the producers had the poor judgement of leaving them alone in the studio and letting them do their thing which led to something special, which is also the reason for the big popularity here in germany.
Wow, this got longer than intended, hope it sheds some light on things for everyboy, guess I'm off now to watch a few episodes. (and for everybody with access to german Amazon Prime, it's on there)
Wait, what's Ramrod called in Germany ? It'll very missed opportunity if its still called Ramrod and not Bismarck 😂
That was one of my favorite shows back then. The german dub had a lot of well-known comedians as voiceactors and they didn't take the show that seriously. So they adlibbed a lot of it which made the show even better :)
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs was my first introduction to Japanese Anime when I was a kid... I remember my mom renting it for me from Hollywood Video and then making recordings of the VHS tapes so I could rewatch it. I loved it and the theme song... my goodness, the theme song is epic. After this, I found Ronin Warriors and then Voltron... so glad to see Toy Galaxy go over this property.
"Head em up, mov'em out, power stride and ready to ride!"
I completely agree! The theme song was amazing, and I used to sing along to it when it was on.
Ah, yes.... My sister loved this so much that she wrote to the TV station to praise it.
We were kids. Visiting our grandparents. In Hong Kong. From the UK. And she wrote a letter that got freaking read on air during the children's cartoon timeslot.
Dude! That's awesome!
Cool
Holy crap that must have felt amazingly surreal.
I grew up in Hong Kong, and loved this when it was on.
All I can think of is when Farva kept saying "TEAM RAMROD!" in Super Troopers and NO ONE else was on-board with it. Great vid as usual!
That movie is messed up, but hilarious.
I so loved Saber Rider and fangirled him when I was quite young. hey it was the 80s. It was one of those cartoons I could watch on Sunday mornings, on the big metal satellite dishes. Ohh those were the days!
"Buzzwang" sounds like someone forgot the word "vibrator", and their brain is grasping to find said word, and that's the best they could muster.
I had actual tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard over your "ramrod" explanation. The cat's expression killed me.
that and then later on the part where they edited those random quick screen blurb of RoboTech and I completely lost it 🤣
Aw man Bismarck!! This was my JAM when I was a kid. Never seen the toys in the wild though. Fun fact: It was super-popular in Germany, up to the point they released a Audioplay-Continuation-Miniseries a couple of years ago! Pretty cool stuff.
I believe it was also popular here in Portugal, at least Saber Rider was broadcasted way before than Voltron and it was both broadcasted dubbed in European Portuguese and subbed (the original Voltron series was just subbed). If we think about it, Bismark/Saber Rider as a mecha anime was original by choicing a Western motif for mechs and worldbuilding.
Next Voltron? No, BETTER.
Exactly!
they already did Voltron
Yes, yes it was
Definitly the better theme song
I agree.
It wasn't until the 3rd time you said Ram Rod that I said to myself "oh...he's serious, that's the actual name".
Ok now I want a Saber Riders/Galaxy Rangers/Brave Starr crossover.
@virtuabutch
Aaargh! You beat me to it!!! 😤
I hate you man !!! 😒
(kidding!)
✌🏽😆🖤😆🖤😆✌🏽
#AddSilverHawks&someJayce
Indeed
I'd just like BraveStarr to come back. A Stampede figure from Neca would look amazing.
@@pious83 stampede could have been a much larger villan instead of being tied to the take over of a single planet. I also wanted a he-man brave star crossover, skeletor and even hordak would have been out of their league.
@@Coldstar86 Stampede was probably the most underutilised villain in all 80's cartoons. The Movie showed he was really powerful, almost god-like.. which was never replicated fully in the series itself.
As far as Crossovers go, I'd have loved to see NA He-Man (the one I grew up with) cross over with the other space based shows like BraveStarr, Galaxy Rangers, Defenders of the Earth etc
Here in Germany,Saber Rider came out in the early 90s and it was a BLAST! Every Kid loved it! The german Voiceactors were hilarious and funny!
this show looks exactly like something I would have loved as a kid. how is old me just learning about this
Like a lot of things back then, I expect you had no clue it existed or had to go out because your mum wanted to go shopping and you were to young to be left at home with the TV
@@superomegaprimemk2 ok buddy, I'm turning 40 this year. I suppose you were raised by your television
@@argylecowboy I turn 40 just resently and I have very little clue about this show as I never saw it on TV or at least UK TV
I loved the show till I found out they lied to me. Watched Bismarck not too long ago and Wow what a difference.
@@superomegaprimemk2 well from your info I would say that you wouldn't have had the chance to see much anime like this in the mid 80s, at least not here in the UK.
I'm older by about a decade, and the closest genre stuff that 80s British TV offered was mostly Gerry Anderson, with a bit of French/Spanish/Italian animated stuff, my sister loved Dogtanian and Cities of Gold.
When I was really young, mid 70s, I remember some weird east European, Polish or Czech I'm not sure, kids dramas shown usually Saturday afternoons. The one that really sticks out was about this school boy who built a sentient laser that he kept in a shoebox under his bed... so yeah.
I did get to see quite a bit of Japanese anime though, because most summers the whole family would visit relatives in Hong Kong and we'd see these amazing Japanese cartoons dubbed into Cantonese, so I saw a lot of mecha, which is my favourite to this day.
Sorry about the ramble.
Who else loved hearing the Legendary Peter"Optimus Prime" Cullen voice Ramrod, Commander Eagle, and Nemesis?
This is one of the fondest of my childhood memories. Cool characters, killer intro music, non stop action. It doesn't get much better than that when you are 9 years old Polish kid watching German television right after The Wall collapsed. :D
... also Great Work @Toy Galaxy as usual. ;)
Remember "Sandmannchen"?
@@antoniod not really but will be glad to recall if you have any links. :)
@@alexniebrzegowski6800 ua-cam.com/video/9FBYfMx0va0/v-deo.html
The reason we aren't seeing any new content is likely the Japanese IP owner getting wind of these projects like what happens with the Robotech and Voltron ones and they send c&d letter. We only got the Netflix Voltron because Toei Animation licenced it approved of the new show.
Supposedly, the dev of the video game had a license agreement with the IP owner... but, this is a murky project, so who knows the real truth.
I had that Bismarck robot toy as a kid here in France (show was called Sab Rider here). Also the robot from Choudenshi Bioman but that's for another story.
Absolutely loved this show! I was lucky enough to buy the DVD Box Set and still love watching it to this day. When I'm on road trips I always play the Saber Rider theme while I'm driving!

I was doing fine with "ramrod" it's when you said "dongle" that I lost it.
I binged this on UA-cam during the pandemic last year. I hadn't seen it in 35 years and it was better than I remembered. Highly underrated.
The awesomeness of the GI Joe/Transformers hour that I thought would never be topped was replaced by our local Asian TV affiliate airing Saber Rider right after Macron 1 back in the day.
"Power stride, ready to ride!"
What Asian country did you live in at the time?
@@eliaveloso1869 not in an Asian country, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and it was one of the local independent channels (KTSF26)
In Germany no one knows Voltron but everybody loves Saber Rider! :)
Honestly this channel has some of the best writing I've ever seen (heard?). Hats off to you Dan. You are a comedic genius with impeccable timing and taste.
Glad you enjoy it!
You know I never had a different thought on Ram Rod until now. Thanks guys. 😆
Living somewhere in Asia I remember seeing the Ram Rod toys in toy shops. It took awhile for me to learn it had a different title in Japan and the robot had a different name: Bismarck.
One of the greatest goddamn theme songs of the 90's.
Also Peter Goddamn Cullen as the narrator and voice of the Ramrod AI. Gotta love it.
Do you feel the thunder inside? You’re gawd damn right I do!

" Long rigid shaft" lmfao Toy Galaxy i love you guys
Ooh, my loathing of Harmony Gold just flared up again. Weird how that spontaneously happens.
I know, it just seems to happen. Just like how wanting to say "Get in the Robot, Shinji" happens from time to time.
@@tipulsar85
That was just ADV doing a meme before memes were memes.
@@tipulsar85 I hate that meme.
Saber Rider was a staple here in Germany and is still one of the most beloved shows of the time. The reason is the German dubbing - it was semi-scripted and absolutely hilarious. Colt, Fireball and Saber Rider are voiced by three of the best voice actors in the business who went on to voice become the German dubs of Colin Ferell, Jude Law and other. If you even speak a speck of German, give it a try, it is so much better than the English version.
loved this show as a kid. recently bought the complete series on dvd. it will always be a top tier show in my eyes.
Huh, why am I suddenly thinking about Robotech? I don't understand. Just because Harmony Gold is literally the worst people ever sitting on a brand and basically shafting everyone outside of Japan.... I don't know. That was weird to think about all of a sudden.
Damnit you Uncle Carl!
Honestly, the only way to resolve that Gordian Knot is for someone richer to buy out Harmony Gold and THEN begin working to improve the deal so more Macross content can make it stateside.
@@aaronorenstein5963
Nah I'm just going to let bootleggers/fan subbers do their thing.
I don't like the interference most of the major anime companies these days anyway.
Harmony Gold: sitting on the Macross license for over two decades and not doing anything with it.
@@aaronorenstein5963 that or someone willing to risk and fight a big legal battle. It's been theorized that harmony could lose the battle and their ability to bully everyone. However if the judge sided with harmony it would be a huge costly mistake.
Aw. Hell yes. This show helped fill the void for me after Robotech ended.
You have to love how Voltron was so successful and beloved that it spawned three American produced cartoon shows and is a well known piece of pop culture, and Star Saber just gets an unfinished video game. At least with Voltron, they released DVD's of Go-Lion and Dairugger, but I can't even find anything outside of the theme song of Bismark. Which slaps, by the way. I wouldn't be surprised if the Star Saber merchandise was released in European countries.
Look up the channel Keith Courage on UA-cam. He recently uploaded the entirety of Bismarck with English subtitles.
Fun fact, in Germany that show was much bigger than Voltron. As a matter of fact, back then when we didn't know better we thought Voltron was the successor to Saber Rider.
You take Lieutenant Arcot "Thorny" Ramathorn and Trooper Rodney "Rod" Farva you have Car RamRod, and "I swear to God I will pistol whip the next guy that says shenanigans!" (Super Troopers)
*giggles with every mention of Ramrod
Ramrod
I thought I was tripping
This show was super popular in Germany, MUCH more so than Transformers.
There was a website where people could vote on which show they wanted to come back and Saber Rider (and Galaxy Rangers) were miles already of everything else month after month.
(Which explains why the videogame studio was mostly made up of Germans. We grew up with this show and it holds more nostalgia than any other shows for a lot of us.)
Those old Japanese toy are are EPIC
I loved this show as a kid and thought it was lost media for a long time then I watch them all two years ago
One day, gods willing, someone cartoon aficionado will win the lottery, buy the rights to Saber Rider, Galaxy Rangers, BraveStarr, AND C.O.W.boys of Moo Mesa, and waste millions on the animated space western crossover we deserve.
I second this!
Kickstarter that bitch!
Send a letter to Boom! Comics., They do stuff like this all the time.
C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa is an outlier and shouldn't be counted
I've now discovered my destiny.
"There was a Kickstarter for the video game..."
Well, I know where this is going.
it's shameful, considering some people can make and release pretty dope games with a budget of 0 $ - and those buffoons can't get it done with multiple thousands of $...
@@fumomofumosarum5893 Thousands? The have raked in over 350 million to this point and it's still unfinished.
Thank you. I missed this series when it was on air.
Your wife giggling whenever the robot's name was spoken, was a nice touch.
Lord I've been waiting for this episode since I discovered the channel
I grew up on 80s cartoons, yet the only thing that I ever knew about this show was that it existed.
Great video! I learned a lot!
'Dipstick', 'Cockpit' or 'Dongle'. Reminds me of the Monty Python list of words that sound rude: 'Tits', 'Winkle', and 'Vibraphone'. You may giggle when ready.
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is a cartoon/concept and toy line that I would’ve loved as a child. Being a massive fan of Voltron and growing up in the 80s, I’m very surprised that I never knew about this show or the toys that went along with it. This was one of those cartoon series that was popular in Europe and Asia. Just looking at the Japanese toy commercial invokes all of those childhood feelings you get when you’ve seen something you really like and want. Thank you Dan and Toy Galaxy for sharing this lost 80s gem with us. So now I’m wondering if I should fall down the internet rabbit hole looking for toys based off the Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs.
When I was a kid I managed to catch two episodes of this show, for some reason it wasn’t aired regularly or at the same time of day, I kept looking for it, even now I only find a couple of episodes online but never the complete series...I still look for it 🥺
Great video Mr Larson, Producer Greg MP 👍🏽✌🏽
Loved this show while it aired here. Part of a local kids show that aired after school.
I was a kid back in the 80's & I've never heard of them B4 now
Same here!
They were niche. We had em in Cleveland but they came and went fast. Great theme song though.
Me too. I don't remember ever seeing this.
I used to watch it as a kid , it came on around 6 am in NY.
Same here
And the Star Sherriffs in skyyyyyy! Colt was my fave.
I helped instal machines in Disney worlds laundry some years ago, their blue Stetson shaped safety helmets reminded me of this show.
The US intro is one of the best theme songs ever!!!
And legit, i just read a toy review of Bismarck on collectiondx.com a few hours ago , how about that?
Better than the Bismark one. More energy and electric guitar riffs👍
Its no Wheeled Warriors though.
Period.
Outro was better than the intro, because it dispensed with the need for lyrics.
2:01 Uh, somebody snickered when you mentioned the name “Ramrod”...
The theme song was awesome and the first few episodes had some great animation. Overall really Loved this series.
The company behind this show now does the animation for Naruto.
My favorite show, as a kid. It eased me into anime, but also into metal. The music in this is something special. I wanted Saber Rider toys so much. Almost as much as I want a good video game now.
I grew up with four episodes of this series on VHS, all dubbed in Swedish. Good times.
Yessssss!!!! I still randomly sing the theme! Thanks TG!
This was one of my favorite shows when it aired. The relationships, action, and dialogue were well above any cartoon at the time. I almost missed the ending because of scheduling shenanigans from the local TV station. I bought the DVD set but now that I watched this, I'm curious about the original japanese version. Thanks for the info!
FINALLY!!!! Thank you so much!!!

I. LOVE. SABER RIDER AND THE STAR SHERIFFS! Thank you for talking about it, I thought I was the only viewer in the US of the show lol.
That ramrod bit had me dying lol. I came to this channel for the nostalgic documentary pieces, but subbed for the humor and personality. Keep up the good work.
A large toy(about the size of metroplex/scorpinoc) of ramrod was definitely released in the UK as my neighbour had one. None of knew what it was other than a not transformers or good transforming robot thing as we had never seen or even heard of the show until a couple of years later when we found a vhs of the first few episodes. British TV was kind of weird for the 80s cartoons, I can't recall transformers or gi Joe ever being shown although there was always someone who claimed to have seen it at like 6am on a weekday morning. On the other hand stv used to show some pretty obscure stuff in the few weeks that separated the start of the Scottish and English summer holidays.
Imagine my surprise learning the character in red was actually the team leader
I never heard of Voltron until some years ago ... Saber Rider though? Amazing stuff, and I still remember loving that the Outriders turn out to be quite different than expected...that finale...
Kampfbereitschaftsphase 1
Hoch damit, und raus mit ihnen. Volle Energie! Und fertig ist die Ramrod Infantrie!
Thank you for uploading this, i remember watching an old vhs of the show. But i never knew the names, ive been watching your channel in hopes of one day seeing this. Thank you for your work and for helping me remember a piece of my childhood.
This might be one of our absolute favorite of your videos!
Around the same time Voltron Legendary Defender was galvanizing small amounts of Tumblrinas about who’s gay instead of you know, having giant robots beat each other up, and stinking up toy aisles with figures of puny humans and non transforming lions no one wanted, the now defunct Lion’s Forge released a 4 issue Saber Rider comic series to see if there was interest in the further adventures of Saber Rider, Fireball, and Colt.
You can probably guess how that went.
Tumblr is cancer.
@@travisbishop782 And trying to appeal to them is a way to lose money.
One of the best cartoon intros from my childhood along with MASK, Thundercats and Silverhawks.
The episode i waited years for. Saber Rider was my childhood jam and still is!
This is your funniest video, yet!! Thank you for all of your videos! They are so much fun to watch!! :D
I have zero memory of this. Thanks for letting me know what I missed. Toy Galaxy continues to churn out great gems like this. How does Dan do it!
Word on the street he uses a ram rod!
This was 1 of my favorites! So awesome to see you covering it Dan, thanks!
Instead of dying, the characters were sent to another dimension? They beat Dragon Ball Z to the punch it when it comes to censoring their content.
I'm trying to think was that the ocean dub (was that the first one?!) I still remember watching those early in the morning and being like what is this. Yeah he didn't explode he was sent to another dimension 🤣
It's still don't beat the german dub of Naruto, where Itachi has "kidnapped" his family
I remember reruns of New Adventures of Gigantor on TV in the early 90's. Gigantor would beat the enemy Mech, containing the villain of the week. Which would typically explode in a nuclear type blast. Briefly followed by a bit of dubbed narration assuring us the villain was later arrested...
There was an episode where they were examine a dead body on a plane (space ship?) sitting on a chair...in the US dub they were talking to it and he was talking back like he was just "injured".
@@dtester
4kids would be proud. 😆
I clicked on this video because I thought I saw Metal Heroes in the thumbnail, but now I'm fascinated whenever I learn that an animated series has gotten dub-exclusive episodes!
Saber Rider were huge popular in my country, Costa Rica, when it was premiered and many still remember it as a great animated series.
Man you guys do an amazing job on these. Enjoyed it!
I interviewed Franklin Cofod, one of the producers on this, Voltron and Battle of the Planets. He said he thought Saber Rider was the best work he ever did.
Been watching for about 2 years now, and I love that they have been talking about you so much on The weekly planet! Haha. Potential crossover?!?!
All they have to do is call.
One of the best or the best cartoon intro of its time
And in German the dialogs are funny as hell. Legandary
Absolutely loved this show when I was a kid. It was a cut above most animated series of its time.
I remember Saber Rider being on ZTV when I was growing up in Zimbabwe in the late 80s. Although I never saw it again after it finished airing & pretty much forgot the storylines, however the theme tune was etched in my mind forever!!! It's in my Top 3 favourite cartoon theme tunes ever, after Thundercats & Mysterious Cities of Gold.
So glad to see a fellow Zimbo here. Shows like Saber Rider and Voltron shaped my childhood in the 80s. I've recently started watching Voltron on Netflix, for a bit of nostalgia.
@@mydrmz we were blessed at the time to have all these shows in Zim back in the day. This Toy Galaxy channel covers many of them. The Voltron on Netflix is AWESOME! Watched the whole series a few years back. Alot of plot twists and cliffhangers in it. Enjoy.
Design wise, I really like that the designer (Katsushi Murakami) went with the "metal hero" genre approach, it's like seeing Gavan etc in animated form.
I remember watching Saber Rider back in ‘87. I enjoyed what they were trying to do with the concept of Far East utilizing the Old West like what The Galaxy Rangers did. There was an episode where April is alone with a young cadet named Jesse Blue, who was very smitten with April and he is caught in an awkward situation. He is dishonorably expelled because he lost his “Frontier Spirit “, a way of saying that Jesse Blue had become dishonorable and disgraced himself. The “Frontier Spirit “ is a code of honor for Star Sheriffs to adhere to. Jesse Blue becomes an outlaw, but with a strong knowledge of the inner workings of the Star Sheriffs. Despite being an outlaw, he still has feelings for April. He was an interesting character.
My favorite Star Sheriff would probably be Colt because of his expertise in shooting.
Before I see the episode I have to say.
FINALLY!!
Saber Rider was Huge in Fiji. We didn't get TV till the early 90s and we missed out one Voltron, but Saber Rider would be on TV every afternoon in the late 90s.
Bismarck has a Super Sentai feel to it, mainly Battle Fever-J because of the international cast.
But unlike Battle Fever J and later Kyoryuger, those were actual characters that came from actual countries!
Oh my god, Saber Rider was by far my most favorite show of all! Watched it on German TV station Tele5. Back in the day it aired so many amazing shows.
THANK YOU DAN!!! I asked about his a few months back!! This was my jam when I was 4 yrs old!
I don’t remember watching this show exactly, but I do remember liking that they were all from different countries.
Been trying to remember the name of this show for years. Thank you.
Both Saber rider and Bismarck had epic intro themes.
