Bloodsport: 1988 Anime Series

Available · one owner only

Archive note

Japanese broadcast poster for an anime adaptation of Jean-Claude Van Damme's Bloodsport, produced for 1988 release by Seeus Video and Home Entertainment. The series promised "ultimate animation martial arts" featuring Van Damme and Bolo Yeung as rival fighters. A lost artifact from the era when American action films were routinely adapted into anime for domestic Japanese television—a practice that largely ceased by the early 1990s. Collects evidence of a parallel media ecosystem where Hollywood properties sustained ongoing anime production.
