About Space Adventure Cobra

Space Adventure Cobra (スペースコブラ) blends action, adventure and sci-fi by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (1982). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: Seeking reprieve from a painfully average 9-to-5 existence, mild-mannered office worker Johnson visits the TM corporation, a company that sells virtual dreams. In Johnson's dream adventure, he's the notorious space pirate Cobra!

Another thread: Accompanied by his android partner Lady Armaroid, Cobra fights the lowlife scum of the Pirate Guild by day and saves sultry sirens of space by night. After the quest is over, events unfold that bring reality into focus. His experience wasn't a dream at all - it was a reawakening of his buried past!

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Nachi Nozawa as Cobra and Yoshiko Sakakibara as Lady Armaroid. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 31 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
