The 1982 sci-fi classic Space Adventure Cobra has arrived on Hulu and Crunchyroll, offering the complete 31-episode series with both English dub and subtitles. The show follows the titular Cobra, a swaggering space pirate with a psychogun arm, as he navigates a galaxy filled with aliens, robots, and the ever-present Pirate Guild.
Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the studio behind Lupin the 3rd Part II and Cat's Eye, Space Adventure Cobra captures a distinct blend of pulp adventure and mature themes. Its premise centers on a disillusioned salaryman who recalls his past life as the legendary pirate, embracing a life of freedom and danger alongside his android partner, Lady Armaroid.
While the series concluded in 1982, it spawned subsequent OVAs and films, including Cobra The Animation: The Psycho-Gun. With a MAL score of 7.69, it remains a notable entry in the space opera genre, celebrated for its stylish anti-hero and imaginative world-building.
