Finding Anime Names & General Anime Q&A

Hello!

By the way I need help finding an old Anime that I saw when I was like 4 years old.

I am lost in trying to think up of an old combining robot animation I saw a long time ago in a theater like back in 1979-1981 or so.
I believe it was a movie, tho I know I saw it in a theater.

Basic story I remember is that a scientist or someone from another planet is fleeing the an enemy with a secret power (I believe it's 3 orbs with different color that grants the power of ships that combine into a robot) and he escapes to earth in his ship and finds 3 people, probably kids and gives them the power. The power resides I believe in their belly button or their back. I think the bad guy/enemy boss is a flame gas monster or something from another planet. I think somehow the kids can lose the power if someone touches them on the spot or something, I forget.
Also I remember one scene where I believe one of the kids (probably the heavy one) jump and does flips in the air to get into his ship and lands backwards and starts crying and wonders where all the controls went. I believe the 3 ships they have combine into one robot.

Sorry I don't have much more info but I hope someone can help.

Thanks for listening!

By the way I gotta say Gunbuster was one of the first actual Anime I saw like back in 1991-92ish that really got me into it tho I have seen the Maginzer Z, G-Force/Battle of the Planets, Captain Harlock, Star Blazers and etc when I was a kid on TV. I think due to that I attended my First Anime Expo back in 1993 and still have the badge... LOL

I am kinda old school tho noob to new anime.. LOL
 
LOL I think I was pre Power Rangers, even the original Japanese version haha.. and no it's not Big Bad Beetleborgs!

Remember it's an anime.. I even kinda vaguely remember the Movie poster.. LOL

Thanks for trying tho..
 
It's Pre-Voltron!!

I think their enemy boss was some kind of Flame monster that came out of a star or something..

Well u want guns.. when I can post pics and I'll post a pic of a cool Airsoft weapon I have that would be a cool Cosplay prop tho I know it's probably not allowed.. LOL
 
There's this anime classics website. You might want to look for it there. The site has pictures for almost all the old anime series. Here's the link: J-Anime
 
I've got a question.......
......why there are soo many female anime characters named "Sakura"????
...there's a sakura in cardcaptor sakura.....
...there's a sakura in Naruto....
...there's a sakura in fate/stay night...
...what else??......
 
This isn't the thread to be asking such a question. But the answer is simple. It is a common name in Japan. Similarily, John and Stephen are common names in North America.
 
Also comes from the fact that Japan is full of Sakura trees...or cherry trees. It's like naming someone Rose, or Lily. It's just extremely popular and the meaning is beautiful...which is what matters most in a name in Japan.
 
stop answering your own questions since this thread is to help ppl find anime that they have forgotten or are trying to rekindle their love for something old if you can please try posting these idiotic/retarded(plz understand some ppl,myself included, may find these annoying to ask) questions here and post them in the Anime Chit-Chat section if you may
