Early Anime

Lately, Animation Resources board member JoJo Baptista has been researching the early history of Japanese animation. He has searched out video copies of 1960s anime to add to our Animation Archive. Over the past year, he has accumulated hundreds of hours of rare television programs. We will be will be sharing some of them with you in our Reference Packs. Our members have asked us to share complete films and publications with them, not excerpts, so we will be sharing complete half hour episodes with you. We don’t claim that everything here is great. But there are great bits. You can sift through them and discover the gems for yourself.

Kaizoku Ouji, or Pirate Prince, was a comedy adventure series created by Shotaro Ishinomori (Cyborg 009, Sabu and Ichi Detective Stories) and produced by Toei Animation. It ran from May 2nd, 1966 to November 28th, 1966.

The series follows the adventures of the pirate prince, Kid. At his father’s deathbed, Kid learns that he is actually the son of the Pirate King, Captain Morgan. However after searching for Captain Morgan, he discovers Captain Morgan has passed on. This creates a conflict across the pirates around the world, who fight for the title of pirate king.

Among these pirates is Tiger Hook, who serves as the main antagonist for the series. Kid sails the seven seas on his ship, The Hurriance, along with several sidekicks.

In episode 14 Tiger Hook, traps several pirate ships in a colosseum and throws a tournament among the pirates. There’s a musical bit with funny poses sprinkled in. While the tournament is held, Kid and his crew find a way to regain control of their ship and create an escape from the colosseum.

I’ll have more early Japanese TV series to share with you in our next Reference Pack.
