OMG i've spent years looking for this! I only just remembered that it was on a kids morning show back in the day called Cheez TV AHHHHHH FINALLYYY!!!!!!
lol same here :D I have been looking for this for many years, all I knew is some space ring around the earth and robots fighting but couldn't find it, and I found it by accident right now happy days
This is my favourite anime of all time, ALL TIME. It did not get enough love for how good it was. Blade is the embodiment of the 'tragic hero' archetype, all his power comes at such a heavy cost, my heart bled for him and poor Star.
chris haight have to totally agree with you!!!! this was the best anime ive ever watched, dont think anything will ever compare! you put it the best when u said "embodiment of the 'tragic hero' archetype" actually perfect description!!!
As a kid I could remover that transformation music is the only thing I could remember stuck in my head and I found this yesterday and I thought 0MG Finally found it
Like many others, this was the first anime (JAPANIMATION) I ever watched back in the 1990s (although, then, as I tried to replicate it via my own feeble art, I dubbed it the "shiny art style")... AMAAAZZZING!! Ringo Starr? C'mon. But it's adorable how they tried to adapt it to 'Murika. Slade took such a hold in my head that, to this day, I wanted to watch the original Japanese series and see how it differed. What an interesting choice to introduce U.S. audiences to animu.
It used to be on the TV very earlier here in Australia too Andrea. I used to program to record it and watch it later unless I was up off a late shift at work.
I see a lot of people posting this was their first fowary into what would be know as anime and I am no different! This blew my mind away on Sci-Fi when it would come on with Demon City Shenjuku and all that jazz back in the day!
Heh. I was 8. I knew they'd archive this show. Expected to be 30 and find it in a video store someplace. Did not expect the rise of the internet. Now i'm watching this in full 10 years ahead of schedule. Good tiems!
It was dubbed Teknoman in the US when it aired on UPN. THe intro for the english cartoon was mega better than any japanese intro. When teh announcer all goes 'To become TEKNOMAN!' gives me chills
Hehe, I like how Ringo keeps hitting on Star with his "Adam and Eve" idea, nice little "parental bonus" there. :D Also, funny how Blade keeps tossing jokes and puns while killing Spidercrabs, he'll be shouting SPACE LANCE and "They're trying to crush me!" next. :D
Fourteen years later: the absolute best part? It's a reasonably accurate translation of the Japanese in that scene! "Noal" (Ringo) tries the same thing on "Aki" (Star), and she shuts him down in pretty much the same way (and loops in Commander "Freeman" (Jamison) the same way, too!) The pacing's a little different (they've got Kerrigan Mahan kind of packing in Ringo's dialogue here, as often happened in 90s dubs) but the content there is essentially the same.
Haven't seen this since it was on TV all those years ago. Thanks, now I can sit and relax on Saturday mornings with the kids for a while. Just to clarify for others, the name of this show is Tekkaman Blade (in Japanese). Also known as Teknoman, TecknoMan and Tekno-Man (in English). I guess they just couldn't make up there minds, but no matter the title it's still a good animated show. This series would be great to re-make with today's Digital Tech for TV.
I like watching this anime every saturday morning. I get up and watch most of the episode when I was a kid. but damn, they didn't remove it off the TV so I end up missing all the episodes. Thanks for uploading this.
My best mate and I have been talking about the cartoons we used to love for awhile and only recently got the idea to search for them on RUclips. I know we should have figured this out earlier but at least we can watch X-Men, Samurai Pizza Cats and this little beauty!
This Anime had my attention to the fullest when I was younger which last time was the 80's cartoons transformers, thunder cats,g.i.joe ect tekknoman had me seeking out more upscale anime which led to me seeing Akira, Ghost in the Shell, ect
Thanks for this, so glade to find it BUT.... now I HAVE to watch the FULL series to make sure there are no missing parts. Yep, that should be a good enough reason to spend Saturday watching it again. Right ??
It never veered away from being hardcore. It was just for a while the cutesy stuff was popular, but there were still plenty of gritty series at the same time.
So supposedly there are two English dubs for whatever reason that's anybody's guess, a few actors were changed such as Slade (Blade in the other dub) and Ringo, in the mid-90's the station UPN aired Sunday mornings the series featuring the other dub of which this is not, that UPN dub had its own Americanized theme set to a techno beat unlike this one that retains the Japanese one.
@BettyBlowtorchRocks i read that they're 3 versions of tekkaman blade, what he is called. japan = tekkaman blade international = teknoman blade usa = teknoman slade ,for the rest all the names are different between english and japanese version venomoid = radam
The version you're talking about aired here in New Zealand at like, 5AM on Saturday and Sunday mornings (out of order) - compared to this version, it is edited to all Hell.
I remember watching Teknoman years back. Enjoyed it greatly, then after the episode in which his sister appears on the show........it's off the air! I know that a number of us on Florida's west coast were not happy with that. I assumed that UPN or CW cancelled it. I'd like to see the entire series.
Maybe someone know what is this intro song (with girl singing and piano... ) ? Is it possible to get anywhere this soundtrack? If anyone have that soundtrack, please let me know
know that feel, i was 6 or something when i first saw it.. but i knew one day, if my memory/mind held together I would be reunited with some childhood memories in full. Hopefully I will remember all the tv shows I watched as a kid
i love this anime i remember it as a kid of 3 and 4 and could remember the name of the show but wanted to see it soo bad for all theses years till i found it again last year:D
The tune of this intro is great but the english intro also rocks, even a bit better than the japanese version. it has less punch then the english version.
.....this Americanized version of Tekkaman Blade. but, I still love it, I really do. the nostalgia and style of the show just blow me away, as it really is a great original creation unlike anything else I've ever seen, despite being changed so much from the original. I *gasp* even like most of the dub actors! I do like the original as well, to be fair the story is allot better and more griping, and the acting superior. but I still love this show, *sniff* :') I really do.....
this was a kids show this was on when i was a baby somebody tell me what was going on im researching different tv shows on when i was a babe!!!! thank you.

Ha, same happened with me. So good to find it again!

same here :D I have been looking for this for many years, all I knew is some space ring around the earth and robots fighting but couldn't find it, and I found it by accident right now

Same exact situation here. :)
Watched this along with King Arthur and the Knights of Justice
Welcome, brother.
The very first anime I ever watched, way back in the early 90s. I've been enthralled ever since.
Me too saw this when i was 8. Loved it
Hmph!......... Same here...
hardnewstakenharder me too! love this, also tekkaman blade II has english dub now watched 6 episode arc of it on youtube, it was very good
Part 2???? im finding this now!
Yeah, this as well as Ronin Warriors was my first introduction to anime in the 90s.
Thanks for putting this up, much appreciated. Please do not remove.
This is my favourite anime of all time, ALL TIME. It did not get enough love for how good it was. Blade is the embodiment of the 'tragic hero' archetype, all his power comes at such a heavy cost, my heart bled for him and poor Star.

D Enhanced every thing you said... my first tv heartache was this anime
i have not seen this in 16 years...i used to watch it every Sunday on UPN 9. thank you for posting the episodes up here.
My god, this is real? It's been so long since I watched this as a little kid that I thought I imagined it!
lol same. It took me forever to find it again.
As a kid I could remover that transformation music is the only thing I could remember stuck in my head and I found this yesterday and I thought 0MG Finally found it
Oh you too? I remember this vaguely , but because it only came on sundays I only saw until the sister was introduced.
Not you alone bro

THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF CHEESE TV N AGROS CARTOON NETWORK , YOUR AWESOME FOR PUTTING THIS UP THANKS :)
HOLY FUCK I REMEMBER THIS BEING ON WEEKDAY MORNINGS IN AUSTRALIA BEFORE SCHOOL BACK IN LIKE 1995 OR 1996.
Cheez TV!!
best show to watch before heading to school. Followed up by dbz
b3vo That's right! Yeah dbz I think started after they finished with this anime.
This is what got me hooked on Gundem back in the early 90s in America then I started to follow the Classic s likes "Akira", "Ninja Scroll" ect
A fellow Trinidadian? Nice!
OMG!!!! I REMEMBER THIS BEING ON WEEKDAY MORNINGS IN NEW ZEALAND BEFORE SCHOOL BACK IN LIKE 1995 - 96.

@@am5p8 Agros Cartoon connection ?
@@Random_qubit No. I think TiO V has it correct below. It was on Ch 10 or one of the others before the main kids shows started for the day.
I see a lot of people posting this was their first fowary into what would be know as anime and I am no different! This blew my mind away on Sci-Fi when it would come on with Demon City Shenjuku and all that jazz back in the day!
man I was looking for this show for about a year TEKNOMAN was my first anime.
A solid story, amazing drawing ✍️! I wish Christopher Nolan will make a movies of this
this is what started my anime journey for me, this, and fist of the north star, Genocyber. anime used to be so visceral back then!
I could remember watching this back in the day. Awesome. 😊👍
Heh. I was 8. I knew they'd archive this show. Expected to be 30 and find it in a video store someplace. Did not expect the rise of the internet. Now i'm watching this in full 10 years ahead of schedule. Good tiems!

I love this theme! Better than the original.
this was my shit back in the days. thanks for the uploads
I randomly thought about this show I remember watching it long ago didn’t remember the name. Good to find it always liked the intro piano part
2:08 that one action instantly made this guy my favorite character.
Rotfl

I loved this show as a kid. Still awesome. Those one liners blade drops when he kills the spider crabs would make Captain Planet blush though, haha.
This is an unusual comment I'm going to make but this is the first anime I've ever watched. I think it was on Fox Kids.
I remembered this back in 95 in Miami used to play in UPN Kids TV-33. Used to miss church for this.
I love the intro....its my fav...
My best mate and I have been talking about the cartoons we used to love for awhile and only recently got the idea to search for them on RUclips. I know we should have figured this out earlier but at least we can watch X-Men, Samurai Pizza Cats and this little beauty!
the voice actor who played Star is also the voice for Dorris Lang in Vampire Hunter D =]
Why don't they make quality cartoons like these anymore? I miss the 90's! It was beautiful back then when I was a kid! What happened?
Used to watch this on fox kids when I was a kid. Was in at half 6. The channel closed for the night at 7 and started again the next morning.
Lol I love Technoman Blade's excessive use of corny puns during battle; it kinda reminds me of Spiderman and Static.
man this was the best show growing up!!
This Anime had my attention to the fullest when I was younger which last time was the 80's cartoons transformers, thunder cats,g.i.joe ect tekknoman had me seeking out more upscale anime which led to me seeing Akira, Ghost in the Shell, ect
omfg!, it has taken me soooo long to find this, thanks youtube!
Have Darkon first appeared in this first episode of Teknoman?
Thanks for this, so glade to find it BUT.... now I HAVE to watch the FULL series to make sure there are no missing parts. Yep, that should be a good enough reason to spend Saturday watching it again. Right ??

Ok
@@bigpapaboomboom9735 Ko.
Isn't any english dubbed version somewhere with better sound quality ?
@BettyBlowtorchRocks i read that they're 3 versions of tekkaman blade, what he is called. japan = tekkaman blade international = teknoman blade usa = teknoman slade ,for the rest all the names are different between english and japanese version venomoid = radam
hay i like this music still, getting a distant desperate cry in the vibe.
Could some one tell me the name of the red Teknoman sign. I don't know what the font is called.
Tekkaman Blade made his Debute in SRWJ , W and TVC
This dub is still surprisingly good after all these years. I actually prefer the westernized version's music over the original Japanese.
Ringo and Star lolz who came up with that ? Some Beatle's fan who writes for Anime!
thank you for uploading this. Love it!
omg man i remember this since i was a kid at last and wtf man this music reminds me of evan gallien a bit even the voice
trivia - In the English-dubbed versions, the series was heavily cut compared to the original Japanese version and shortened from 50 to 43 episodes.
I take it there were too many adult scenes?
@@Ragitsu can't tell u.
@@TheKeithvidz Damn.
@@Ragitsu a wikia page exists.
Funny you should mention that. Guyver was influenced by the old school 70's Tekkaman, funny how this one has Guyver elements to him. :D
i watched this when I was a kid. still good as always. :)
Bro, you’re a legend!
This was my jam!

25 years I searched for this anime
Great old school anime. Only after awhile did I realize they names after cutting instruments. 'Blade Dagger Sabre'
Thanks a lot for this!
Teknoman and samurai x was the best anime growing up
yeah remember watching this on cheez tv to but this was not the introduction i remember watching. I got the english intro to Teknoman.
Thank you for doing this
how come this seems like episode one of a second season or something? is there something to be watched before it?
then why dose it start up after he has his power's and the world's in rune's?
i remember seeing this back in the 90s half of the teknomen who worked under darkcon were members of blade. family
I hear that, I remember watching when I was 9 years old, such a good show at the time
i remember watching this show, but when i did i didnt know any english and thougth the name of the show was shoktoman
i love this anime i remember it as a kid of 3 and 4 and could remember the name of the show but wanted to see it soo bad for all theses years till i found it again last year:D
lol "This time I think you'll get my POINT!"
used to fuck with this back jn the daysz❕💨💯
this show was pretty damned epic.
what is the name of the opening song
lol love the needless acrobatic at 2:05
Is there an episode where the humans make a synthetic transformation crystal, but they're like the baddies?
i missed this anime
@bloodypudding Yeah; Slade had much more of a Batman-ish vibe to him. Which really fits, when you think about it.
Does she have any use besides acting as a damsel in distress?
@seekertosecrets I think you're mixing Slade's crystal up with Saber's. Saber's was the one with those folding parts.
yea the music was pretty awesome. like the intro music as well.
omfg i was trying 4 years to remember this show i couldnt even rmember the name but thnks i finally remember
Didn't two parts of that crystal flip out some how?
their were 2 seasons but the second season is short
I can't find this version of the opening ANYWHERE it keeps taking me to other songs, this one is my fave too! T^T What's the name of the song? D:
I loved this cartoon when i was a kid
i think this is the best opening theme song on the planet. Anybody kno where to get this theme song?
Idk why but I love the music in this intro!
A little tip for every fan. Re-name your alexa voice to " pegasus", and name your lamp "power". Then you get to say pegasus, power on!
The tune of this intro is great but the english intro also rocks, even a bit better than the japanese version. it has less punch then the english version.
@ProfesorStein26 thay do as the show gets darker
HELL YEEERRRRR
Is one that will be entertaining for many more years, even if the animation style is dated.
.....this Americanized version of Tekkaman Blade. but, I still love it, I really do. the nostalgia and style of the show just blow me away, as it really is a great original creation unlike anything else I've ever seen, despite being changed so much from the original. I *gasp* even like most of the dub actors! I do like the original as well, to be fair the story is allot better and more griping, and the acting superior.
but I still love this show, *sniff* :') I really do.....
this was a kids show this was on when i was a baby somebody tell me what was going on im researching different tv shows on when i was a babe!!!! thank you.
try amazon or ebay
hey! it's the voice of MARIE CRYSTAL (Robotech:Southern Cross) i loved that series!!
at last I got it towatch again I wouldn't loose it again
@namz6 its all explained after they find Shara, thats when they find out blades true name and identity.
