Classic Cartoons
#1
Hell we were talking about this on IRC lets see how can embrace and remember those classic cartoons. In specific im refering to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Gi Joe, Transformers, and my personal favorite; THUNDERCATS. Anyone who didnt like thundercats can suck my sword of omens.

Thundercats was cool. This carton isn't so much a classic, but does anyone remember the Batman series before "Batman Beyond"? I simply loved that cartoon, very dark and mysterious, and serious.

oh yeah man i used to watch the old batman cartoon all the time. It was really messed up though. They had guns and drugs and shit, all about crime and crazy people. A couple of those episodes were downright depressing. Man no wonder im so messed up! its cus of batman!

Batman : TAS (The Animated Series), Thundercats, Robotech, Exo-Squad, Inhumanoids, Go-Bots, Centurions, Bionic Six, M.A.S.K., Swat Kats, Count Duckula, Dungeons and Dragons, Ghostbusters, Robotix and Dino-Riders are a few that I liked for classic cartoons.


Most of those might be a little older then some of the people in here reading this... which is actually kind of scary. :D

isnt go-bots and a lot of that stuff just new shit on cartoon network? I hate how they have also ruined old shows, via look at all the attempts at new transformers and gijoes and TMNT's. No one tried thundercats re-do, pfft.

Cartoon Network rules... but you never get any work done whilst it's on... plus that would mean getting a sky/cable box first

Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Sid & Marty Kroft PowerHour (which had Sigmund & the SeaMonsters,
The Bugaloos, Far Out Space Nuts, and others), Thundar the Barbarian, Godzilla and Godzuki, Ultraman,
Shazzam, Isis, Starblazers, Johnny Quest and Land of the Lost.

All great American Saturday morning shows in the 70's for me.

Yeah kids of today are really into japanimation series, which isn't a bad thing, lots of us like animes too.
Reply

don't get me wrong japanimation is cool, like "Ghosts of the shell" or something but kids today just don't have a taste in GOOD anime. . . just my opinion anyways

I know some anime is good but my sis watches a show called BeyBlade or something like that which can get pretty annoying at times. I loved the Ninja Turtles and would watch it all the time. Know my Ninja Turtles collection is worth about $50,000 dollars in value.:DI also liked GI Joe but never had any action figures but I made up for that in Ninja Turtles.

I watched and some of em i still do Gundam, DBZ (wit eng subs), Robotech, Pinky & the Brain, Tom & Jerry, Ghost in the Shell (Dunno if it was a series are not been a while), Trigun, Old Batman, and Scooby. Thats just to name a few

GitS = Ghost in the shell It was a movie and then I believe it was broken up into 6 OAV or something like that. Ghost in the Shell 2 was released as a book (just like the first one) and is either now or was just finished being made into an anime.


I agree that most kids don't like good animes, but I think thats because most of the better animes were "kiddified" so that they could be played over here. Take sailormoon for example. Its the biggest example of kiddified that I can think of. From what I have heard it was basically a soap opera over in Japan with nude scenes and everything. There are also lesbians and cross dresses and other things in it.

Its now been made so that 6 year old girls can watch it. No nude scenes, no lesbian kisses (no lesbians at all actually, they made them into "cousins") Later in the series there are guys that the sailor scouts fall in love with, that when they "power up" transform into girls (least thats what I've heard and read)

DBZ is almost as bad, but wasn't kiddified as much. There is this one sceen thou that Gokou is trying to fall asleep and puts his head on bulmas lap. It feels different so he feels her with his hand (while shes asleep) He then takes off her underware and screams out something like "your pee pee is gone, someone stole it!!!!" This is just after he met her in dragonball series and at that point he had not seen a women only his grandfather.


Anyway, alot of the old cartoons are wicked because thats what we grew up with.

I also have transformers and gobots toys and videos. :D Some day when I can do video capture i'm gonna record all the gobot tapes. :) I still watch for them in the flee markets too, but I haven't seen any for a while:(

The Japaneese do have their animation down to a science...but I still laugh when they try to
create a big eye Caucasian person and he has a name like Yokahama or Suzuki. You think they
would call him Bill or Bob.

I used to watch Volton before I went to work every afternoon. What was the big toon that really
started the mech thing? Wasn't it BattleTech or something?
Reply

Some of Battletech's were based off of Macross which is anime. Due to a lawsuit the Macross Mechs were removed from Battletech thou. http://www.mektek.net (the other website I work at) have a mod for Mech 4 Mercs that puts in a couple of the "unseen" mechs into the game, more are coming soon. :D

Anyway for me it was Robotech that got me really interested in anime. Its more of a hybred then an actual anime. 3 totally unreleated animes fused together by an american company to make a show for american kids. And it worked. :D
