User Reviews

Brilliant for its time.

For the 1980's, this classical piece of Japanese animation was well-done & brilliant. A unique form of character design helped it stand out from the rest of the animated features of its time. This was one of the few features that got me hooked on Japanese animation. It was in 1992, when I lived in Rockland, Maine, that I found this video in a small family-owned video store and was in a desperate search for Anime stuff & saw this on a sale rack for $9.99.....I got it a week later and that's what started my collection! The sequel, "Space Warriors" was not as exciting in story-line, but the animation was still true to the original. The voice-acting wasn't too exciting either. BUT, Locke the Superman from 1984 will still reign supreme for its time!
