does anyone remember this series? it was shown on the abc (australian) in the early eighties around the time of the first showing of the mysterious cities of gold(another great series that i would sacrifice vital body parts for a copy of!). i think that ulyssees 2021 is the correct name i am not sure - please help me, the images of the show are in my mind but for the love of all that is good i cannot, repeat cannot, remember any of the story. if anyone can remember anything at all please post a response. cheers

I remember the show- I’m not sure though whether it was anime. Giver the long, continuous story arc (very similar to Star Blazers), I reckon it may have been ( it has that same epic feel).

From memory it was on just before inspector Gadget (I think). The story was a science fiction adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey- an ancient greek myth (I’ve got a feeling its the one with the cyclops).

The only images I can remember from the show are the crew of this ship being held suspended animation on the bridge of Ulysses’ ship (they’re all floating in mid air). I can also hum about a bar of the opening theme, and I’‘m sure that Ulysses had long haiir and a red beard.

Thats all I remember for now. I’m glad that someone else remembers this show coz I dont know anyone else who can. I’m no scholar of the ancient Greek world so I’m not going to sign off 100%  on the origins of the story ( I’m pretty positive though that its from the Odyssey ).

It always came on at a crappy hour of the morning; just like some of today’s good shows. Alot of what K-moto said is pretty right too… Other than those few bits I don’t remember anything else… sorry…

Even though I only saw one episode of Ulysses 31. Yes, it was anime and went by the same title.
