Anime has gained more distribution methods in recent years thanks to Crunchyroll, Discotek Media and Funimation I feel it’s time to demand TMS Entertainment’s under appreciated gem, the 1975 anime “The Adventures of Gamba” to the United States Before people cry that an anime from the ‘70s won’t appeal to today’s audiences, There are two anime in specific that would beg to differ.. namely, Lupin the 3rd and Mobile Suit Gundam -- despite the odds against them both succeeded with the US public (with the latter gaining it’s following a decade after it’s removal from Toonami because of 9/11) To be frank, Gamba tried to make it in the US in the early ‘80s only to be snubbed by otakus at C/FO because of their fetishistic love of giant robo/mecha anime - see Fred Patten’s comment in this nicely detailed article on this anime: http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/the-adventures-of-gamba-1975/

In today’s anime fandom, We must demand gems like this to get a fanbase in the US Gamba (despite it’s childish artstyle) is an anime worth looking into because despite the childish art design, It’s story is nearly comparable to Watership Down [yes, it has some dark imagery] 

If ya wish to sample Gamba, go here: http://tinyurl.com/j3aqh9n  If you liked what you see, Please demand TMS Entertainment by any means as you can to bring “The Adventures of Gamba” to the US via either DVD or SVOD (preferably Hulu and Crunchyroll) In this strong, We must not only be strong but #GambaStrong
