Big X (ビッグX Biggu Ekkusu) is an anime adaptation of the Osamu Tezuka manga series which aired on August 3, 1964 to September 27, 1965 in TBS with a total of 59 episodes were made. This is the first anime series to be produced by Tokyo Movie (TMS).
Plot
The plot focuses on a boy with a drug that can increase his body to that of a giant, a result of a failed experiment from the Nazis during World War II.[1]
Status
Only episodes 1, 11, and 40-59 are known to survive. The discovery of the first episode is because a collector named Jerry Beck was discovered to owned a 16mm print. He announced he was showing the film at an Asifa meeting, but an executive from TMS came to the screening and forbade him from publicly showing the print. Jerry was informed that the series was lost, and was asked to loan the print back to the studio so that they can make a video transfer for their archive.
Episode 11 of the show was found in 2015 when it was broadcast on the Animax Network as part of the TMS’s 50th-anniversary celebration.
