Crusher Joe is meant for the smart and adventurous audience, male and , and even though it is a "cartoon" it's not meant for young viewers, but mature teen and older. Again, kind of an interesting trip down memory lane, and somewhat refreshing if ever so mildly dated.

Iconic ship from the 1983 anime sees toy form : 0 I'll admit, I havent seen Crusher Joe in 15 years. I have it on a VHS tape, bootlegged from Laserdisc, not subtitled. Still, It was very cool to watch, and I loved the design in it. The Minerva is the ship of the Crusher team led by Crusher Joe.

Crusher Joe. In the 22nd century, mankind has expanded into outer space. However, it was the Crushers who paved the way, performing jobs that ranged from terraforming to asteroid busting, warp lane plotting to transportation. These days, the Crushers still accept jobs of all kinds, so long as they're legal and ethical, and Crusher Joe's team is ...

Looking back across 20 years of anime history, the Crusher Joe movie had a lot going for it. The 1983 feature was the first theatrical production of Sunrise, the studio that was poised to dominate ...
Crusher Joe succeeds at what it set out to be: a thrilling, fast paced, and entertaining space action film. The concept of the movie certainly isn't groundbreaking by any means, but Crusher Joe stands out as one of the best of its kind. Read the full-length review...
The Crusher Joe model line currently includes various boxings of the Minerva in 1/400 scale, Cordoba (a destroyer) in 1/3000 and fighters in 1/72. All are thoroughly modern kits with very good build quality and engineering.
"Make it fly, Joe!" With a mere 22 reviews at the time of my writing this one, it's clear Crusher Joe is woefully underappreciated. There's nothing here that rises above archetypes, but as a pulp space adventure it succeeds in nearly every way. Joe and the crew of the Minerva are a likable rag-tag team like you would see manning the decks of Serenity, or Outlaw Star, or the Bebop ...
Review: CRUSHER JOE Let's go all the way back to the 70s for some rare old-school sci-fi manga. CRUSHER JOE (Kurassha Jo), based on the novel series by Haruka Takachiho with art by Fujihiko Hosono. First published in 1979 and first published in North America in 2000. PLOT:
Crusher Joe isn't a deep or mind expanding film, instead it's a fun action packed, often funny and beautifully animated sci-fi adventure with great characters. However the world of the crushers is incredibly well realised with insane attention to detail like many anime features of the 1980's.
The primary Lance-scale Dropship is the Joe's starship. The two fighters it carries, and those fighters they engage in the movie, are all in AeroTech. Going through the early Technical Manuals for the game will reveal other Crusher Joe design, lifted entirely from the OVA and film. The light novels and their film/OVA adaptations are not as hard ...
Crusher Joe The Movie has big space battles, drunken bar fights, laser gun shootouts, hover car chases, and every other kind of explosive sci-fi spectacle you could possibly want.
A review of the 1983 anime movie "Crusher Joe," a retro adventure that's a perfect space opera story.
Crusher Joe eventually went on to spawn an animated feature film before falling into the shadow of its more successful successor, but that fortunately did not stop it from finding an American audience as well. While Animeigo handled the movie, the now long-defunct Studio Ironcat brought over the manga in a single-volume paperback.

The two OVAs follow the 1983 Crusher Joe movie. While technically stand-alone, there is little setup of the universe or characters in the OVAs, so having watched the movie prior is recommended. In both one-hour long episodes, the Crusher team (Crushers being this universe's elite mercenaries) is called in to solve a problem for a planetary ...
For those not in the know, Crusher Joe was a Light Novel series by Haruka Takachiho, probably best known for being the creator of Dirty Pair. The novels themselves were successful, but Crusher Joe didn't become a name for Japan in the 80s with the movie. The film was a blockbuster in it's day and even managed to win an Animage Anime…

Crusher Joe OVAs From the 1950s to the 1970s, heroes in science fiction were often portrayed as being shining beacons of righteousness that could do no wrong. There were the occasional characters that would come along with a few flaws, but on the whole these people would have leaned heavily toward lawful good if they were D&D characters.
Crusher Joe follows the adventures of Crusher Joe and his team, Alfin, Talos and Ricky. Our main characters are the so-called Crushers, a kind of legal and controlled mercenaries. The movie revolves around a group of Pirates, which have stolen a highly dangerous weapon, while Crusher Joe and his team are fighting the Pirate faction.
