About Galactic Patrol Lensman

Galactic Patrol Lensman arrives as an action anime by Madhouse (1984), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: The young Kimball Kinnison is leaving home for a wider education when a Galactic Patrol ship crashes on his family's land and the dying pilot gives him an unexplained Lens. Half-sentient, the Lens now implanted in his hand turns into the focus of changes in Kim's life including his father's death, a space clash, and an encounter with Galactic Patrol nursing officer Chris.

Next up: Impelled by the Lens, he finds out a new realm of experiences opening before him and he risks his life to save Chris and the Universe.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
