Nobita Nobi is so hapless that his 22nd century decendants are still impoverished as a result of his 20th century bumbling. In a bid to raise their social status, their servant, a robotic cat named Doraemon, decides to travel back in time and guide Nobita on the proper path to fortune. Unfortunately Doraemon, a dysfunctional robot that the familly acquired by accident (but chose to keep nonetheless), isn't much better off than Nobita. The robot leads Nobita on many adventures, and while Nobita's life certainly is more exciting with the robot cat from the future, it is questionable if it is in fact better in the way that Doraemon planned. close

Space Battleship Yamato is a Japanese science fiction anime series featuring an eponymous spacecraft. It is also known to English-speaking audiences as Space Cruiser Yamato; an English-dubbed and heavily edited version of the series was broadcast on North American and Australian television as Star Blazers. The first two seasons of this version were broadcast in Greece in 1981-82 as Διαστημόπλοιο Αργώ. An Italian-language version was also broadcast under the name Star Blazers in Italy, and a Portuguese-language version was successfully shown in Brazil under the title Patrulha Estelar and Viaje a la Ultima Galaxia or Astronave Intrepido in Spain and Latin America.
It is a seminal series in the history of anime, marking a turn towards more complex serious works and influencing works such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion; Hideaki Anno has ranked Yamato his favorite anime and credited it with sparking his interest in anime.
Yamato was the first anime series or movie to win the Seiun Award, a feat not repeated until the 1985 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. close

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is a five-member superhero team that is composed of the main characters in several anime created by Tatsuo Yoshida and originally produced in Japan by Tatsunoko Productions and later adapted into several English-language versions. It is also known by the abbreviated name Gatchaman.
The original series, produced in 1972, was eponymously named Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman and is most well known to the English-speaking world as the adaptation titled Battle of the Planets. The series received additional English adaptations with G-Force: Guardians of Space and ADV Films' uncut 2005 release. Tatsunoko also uses the official translation Science Commando Gatchaman, as shown in numerous related products and media. Because the English-language versions are notoriously inconsistent not only with one another but also with the original Japanese series, viewers most familiar with the English versions often experience some confusion upon re-examining the series after a long hiatus.
The original 1972 Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman series was followed by an animated film, two sequel series, Gatchaman II, and Gatchaman Fighter. In the 90's, episodes from both series were dubbed into English by Saban as Eagle Riders. In 1994, the original series was remade as a condensed OVA series. close

The 1967 Soviet-Mongolian film Exodus is a historical and adventure film that tells about the events of the end of the Civil War, when hostilities between supporters of Soviet power and the remnants of the white movement took place even in Mongolia. The production of the picture was carried out jointly by Anatoly Bobrovsky, known for the films “The Return of St. Luke”, “The Black Prince”, and the Mongolian director Zhamyangiin Buntar, who shot the films “The Year of the eclipse of the Sun” and “The Leader of the White Feather”. Since the shooting was conducted in Mongolia, the picture is replete with picturesque natural views and characteristic exoticism.
Having left Russia at the head of the Asian division, Baron Ungern, played by Alexander Lemberg, defeats the Chinese troops occupying the Mongolian capital. He seizes power in the country and begins to prepare a blow to the young Soviet state, planning to overthrow the power of the Bolsheviks. Posing as a White Guard colonel, scout Prokhorov, played by Vladimir Zamansky, infiltrates the headquarters of the Asian Division in order to find out the plans of Baron Ungern. Through his friend, a Mongolian shepherd, he establishes a connection with the national liberation movement of the region. As a result, Prokhorov negotiates with the Mongolian military leaders on joint actions with units of the Red Army against Baron Ungern. close
