so brace yourself for the coolest yet weirdest thing ever

You guys remember Thunderbirds, right? How can you not, let’s be honest here. Well, imagine what would happen if Go Nagai did Thunderbirds. yeah, that;s right: Thunderbirds with giant robots. The show was called X-Bomber, and was faithfully dubbed and released in the UK under the name “Star Fleet” (yup….).

The show did pretty well, and its theme song caught the attention of Brian May, the lead guitarist of Queen, who produced an official music video with another person you proooobably heard of named Eddie van Halen.

so uh, enjoy. I’ve known of this show for awhile now, and my friend showed this video at Anime Boston. Needless to say I wanna see this show now.

We all know how this usually ends up.
