It sounds wonderful, but I don’t think young children will relate to ancient Japan.Anime is popular and often shows traditional Japanese architecture in it including large traditional homes with tatami mats and sliding doors. It also features a lot of Shinto shrines including tori gates and trees with shimenawa (sacred rope tied around the trunk).
I watched it back in the day. Although the vehicles and special effects were good, even as a child I could spot the clunkiness in some scenes. For example, in the picture above, the right rear supporting leg of Thunderbird 2 is clearly too short, so the back end of the aircraft isn't level!I'm not sure where that image came from but it's not from the original show which had a lot more detail in the hangar. It was clunky of course being a show using puppets but very good compared to other fx driven shows of the time.
Interesting, it seems fully one quarter of the toys sold in Spain are to kidults like usThe guy in the picture is James May, a well- known kidult and UK TV presenter. If you look at the right demographic, I bet the figure is higher than 25% in most of the developed world.
