Japanese Spiderman TV Show aka: Supaidaman by Toei!
The Marvel Comics website is putting up vintage Japanese Spiderman episodes from 1978. The videos is subtitled in English so we can understand.
The first epidode is called “The Time of Revenge Has Come! Beat Down Iron Cross Group!”
In this Japanese Spiderman it’s Takuya Yamashiro, a motorcycle racer, instead of the camera- toting Peter Parker. He becomes Spiderman and defeats Professor Monster in episode 1.
Episode 2 is called “Mysterious World! The Man Lives to Fate.” Description: When a train suspiciously overturns, Takuya [Spider-Man] believes Professor Monster and the Iron Cross Army are responsible, while flashbacks reveal the tragic details surrounding Garia’s arrival on Earth and the transfer of power to Takuya.
It looks pretty cool. It has that late 70s/early 80s feel to it…kinda like Chips and Battlestar Galactica.
The Marvel website currently has two episodes up with more on the way each week.
Episode 1
Episode 2
