+ I grew up in Malaysia, enjoying 80s/90s Japanese series like Space Cop Gaban/Gavan, Masked Rider Black, Doraemon etc.

+ Recently I stumbled upon a long forgotten Japanese cartoon – Daimos on YouTube.

+ The hero would swing down a monkey bar/flying fox without any harness, down to his car. The car would fly out of the cavern, lands on a platform at the edge of the cliff.

+ I’m amazed at his upper body strength (I can’t even dead hang more than 3 seconds!)

+ The main vehicle, a 40-foot truck would exit the mouth of a cavern with inches to spare. Automatic platforms will come out of the water alternatingly, paving the way for it to get to higher grounds, and then will come out meters ahead of the car.

+ Hero gives another battle cry and the car will “jump” inside the truck via the backdoor. (Must have been voice activated).

+ Hero gets strapped to the main truck seat (looks suicidal to me in case of an accident). But this time it gets better – the whole truck will drive of a cliff and the truck will transform into a robot, MID-AIR!

+ My basic working knowledge working around cars and the concept of gravity had a good time laughing as I watched this. Ahh, the joy of simple

+ I plan to explore more of similar series and share it with my kids – just to brag how cool my cartoons are compared to theirs 😀

+ Enough said – you can enjoy the video here. Thank me later.

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
