Pressure Points To Put Someone To Sleep

Cultoon: Sky digital channel 703 of

cartoons for all!


3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Cultoon! The countdown was held at my house on 1 May 2007, Labor Day and the day when games are broadcast by Sky's new digital channel dedicated to cartoons and Italy in particular to the Japanese anime of the late seventies, early eighties. My husband is absolutely delighted the event, is back after a long time to see (not without a visible emotion) TV series fan who had a child and with whom he grew up. I, though a bit 'more detached, I could not help but stop in front of those enchanted cartoons that suddenly disappeared from the television schedule and had left a huge void in the fervid imaginations of children in that period. Children who have kept alive the memory of those adventures of robot also reached adulthood: they all are (we) were found to whistle "Ufo Robot", "Jeeg Robot D'Acciaio" or "Daitarn 3", just as we are remained enraptured in front of a poster or any image of "Actarus", "Captain Harlock" or "Candy Candy".

This network-vintage, created by David Bouchier, creators of the channel for children JimJam and former Director General of the programs SKY, is broadcast 24 hours a day on channel 703 on SKY is the first network and the satellite platform with a program of cartoons aimed primarily at an adult audience, ranging from 18 to 40 years, but that surely will appeal to all family. In the first program we are back to see the episodes of the space pirate "Captain Harlock" in its long struggle against aggressive Mazoniane, alien creatures which looked like beautiful women who want to conquer the land, the nightmare of all criminals, "Fantaman" and his mortal enemy, Dr. Zero ("The world is mine" its invective - smash), dell'impavido "Conan", survived the Third War mon dial, which will air the original version of the great Japanese author Mihazaki: redubbed restored and has never been seen in Italy. So, America, the invincible "He-Man," the sheriff of the future "Bravestarr", "Zorro" and "Lone Ranger". But even Japanese anime: the android boy "Kyashan", who fights against the robots, which are sent to the author of human beings, "Tekkaman", which together with the Space Knights must defend the earth from alien attacks Waldaster, and nine "Cyborg" than with their special powers fighting ancient demons awakened. Finally, the legendary "Daitarn 3" Aran Banjo who, together with its beautiful Beauty and Reika, the small Garrison Toppy and the butler, the fight against Megadeth, alien invaders from the planet Mars capable of becoming Megaborg, monsters warriors.

In programming there are still more serious ones dedicated to girls as Lady Oscar, Candy Candy, Heidi or Remi, who charmed us with their romantic stories, but to ensure that Sky in the coming weeks will also be aired these episodes and that the Cultoon managers are trying to find other classics too feminine. Other board soon came to the already strong family of Cultoon, but above all and we look forward the return of the myth of myths: that Grendizer (with the legendary symbol "Ufo Robot") who was the first and unforgettable robot to descend on earth and in the imagination of young 70s. Speaking of acronyms, many cartoons have retained the original coding Japanese, so do not feel the classic ones in the Italian, for example, or Tekkaman Daltanious, to my chagrin! Although, truth be told, the Japanese symbols have their charm ...

The channel has yet to take steps with his schedule, too many replicas, and often the stakes are not transmitted in chronological order, but I hope it's just for a phase of adjustment: perhaps with the arrival of new series, The program will stabilize. I leave a list of the series so far sent about Cultoon, who knows that we are not your favorite hero ... Captain Harlock
