For those in Québec using Vidéotron as TV provider, you can listen to this animated show on Illico for free (and without commercial ads!).
It reminds me Albaltor or Capitaine Flamm, but made in 2000... so more actual. It sometime funny and overall well done. The show include space, time travel, humor, etc.

Looks very cool.

I don't think so. It was made in 2008 in France I think. So we got it here late.
By the way, it is available on Illico (channel 900) and free until Dec. 14, 2010.

Haven't watched it yet, but your thread got me watching Capitaine Flam again
Oh the memories...
Where did you get it? I was looking for Capitaine Flam for years... is it still good? I saw Albator and... I was a little bit disapointed... too slow and repeatitive.

Repetetive really? I didn't think so. I actually liked rewatching Albator. Yes it's slow I'll give you that, but the mood of this series was very pessimistic for kids of our time, so it only made it more dramatic. I find it as sad as when I used to watch it back then. I couldn't stop feeling sorry for Stelli who's an orphan, and Albator's desperate attempts to protect Earth because he made a promise to his departed best friend even though everyone else thinks he's evil. He saves the planet many times from certain destruction and anarchy, and still everyone gives him crap and the Earth's forces are bent on sinking his spaceship deep into the galaxy. Also, I liked the newly released never before seen final episodes that conclude the series.

Sure some names are a bit corny, but I think it's part of the charm.
I think l'Empereur de l'espace was an awesome villain ;D
Lots of scientific mumbo jumbo and stuff that doesn't make sense, but it's still great.

Plus, the intro, which is the same for all episodes, is kiss ass. True, The episode of L'Empereur de l'Espace was still very good, even with that silly name of his heheheh.

A movie about Capitaine Flam?

Partly true. Let me explain.
Because I bought the DVD at Zellers a little over a year ago.
There was a pilot that was released for Captain Future in Japan.
This pilot was never released as-is in France. Instead, France took the pilot and meshed it with footage from other Captain Future episodes and made it into a movie.
So it is true that to the French this was a whole new Capitaine Flam movie, but to Japanese fans, this was no surprise at all, and not a movie.
