Obake no Q-Taro (1965) [TSHS] episodes 01A & 12B torrent

Based on the gag manga by the duo known as Fujiko Fujio, here’s the very first segment of the original black and white anime. The first series featured Machiko Soga as the voice of the mischievous ghost, who in addition to voicing 007 in the 1968 Cyborg 009 series, later went on to portray villains in many live action tokusatsu series including Rainbowman, Denjiman, Sun Vulcan and Zyuranger. This first segment was taken from a TV special about the work of Fujiko Fujio (A), and also features an introduction by Machiko Soga herself.

About 5 years ago I subtitled the second segment of episode 12. I haven’t made any changes to that segment, but both of the old links are dead, so I thought I’d include it here as well. These two partial episodes are all I have of the original 1965 series, so if anyone else can find more please let me know!

This original monochrome Q-Taro series is very rare, never having been released on home video in any format. Many thanks to cartoonist Charles Brubaker for providing the raw sources for both of these partial episodes! He also wrote an article about the series on the Cartoon Research Site, you can read that article here: http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/q-taro-the-ghost-1965/
