Does anyone remember SuperBook?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone remembers an old 1980's Christion Anime that went by the name of Superbook?

It was all about two kids (named Chris and Joy) and a toy robot (that would become a real robot) who would use a magic Bible to go back in time, and see the likes of Jesus, Issaic (and the like) for themselves.

The storylines would not always stick to the Bible 100% but it was still a good show for kids anyway (this in part led to my being saved)

I often used to dress up as Joy when I was little. But Sadly I have no photos

Wow, 1st one to reply. I actually do remember that show.

I remember it from reruns but that was a long time ago.

The only thing that sticks out in my head is the Creation story episode and a dinosaur statue. The professor had a huge house with wood floors and a fountain out front. That's really unusual for Japan, especially since the American organisation that financed the studio had the series created specifically to teach Japanese children about Christianity, though I don't know if they expected converts. If it's set in Japan why not have a Japanese house.

On a similar topic: back then Japanese, American, and British animation companies hired native artists to draw the cells. Thirty years later everyone contracts that work to south Korea because because its cheaper.

Yes! Dang I used to watch it on VHS.
