Funny. I own the whole Gaiking Series on DVD and I don't remember that episode.
And I thought I was a good Go Nagai fan... [/quote]
It's just one episode in the end. I reckon if the character was in more or had a major storyline people would remember and I probably would have found 'Gaiking' a lot earlier.
A forgot to repost the details of the War animation. Here they are:
I have been looking for an adult animation that I caught sight of on TV in Kazakhstan sometime when my family were living in Almaty (it was from 1993 to 1997, but I think I saw the animation between '96 and '97). It was overdubbed in Russian or Kazakh, and the previous track was in English, but I think that it may have been a different language before that. I do not know the title of it, I only saw scenes from it, and all my searches for it have not turned up anything.
The basic story line I think is that soldiers invade a small town or village, but I'm not sure where. They storm into family homes, there are shootings, executions, a soldier gets run over by a tank and I think towards the end a baby dies in the arms of its mother, who is among a group of women from the village wandering in the countryside as refugees I think. These were in the title credits actually, in a sort of montage over some classical music. The beginning of the film shows a young boy in a town square buying food at a stall, and meeting one of his friends. Another sequence I remember is that a small toy wagon rolls down the street, broken I think, and the young boy stares as it goes down. I switched on a little later and the boy was in some building with some men. A man appears and it turns out to be the boy's father. The father seems to remember the man getting run over by the tank. Other shots I remember are of a young man or boy getting shot in the head, a couple of men who are tied up are executed by firing squad, and a woman is pushed against the wall by a soldier.
I am afraid that is all I remember. I know that if I saw a still from the film I would remember it.
