HAHA ... Flash introduced me to Rocket Robin Hood.
Bloody awful...
Did you know that some of the background artwork in that show was actually old stock from Spiderman?
Flash likes Super Friends and Spiderman ... I just get a kick out of the music in Spiderman... Makes you just groove out...
I will have to say here that, whilst I believe Japanese anime to be sliding downhill somewhat -- especially when they're dubbed -- some of the North American ones seem to really be ramping it up and doing pretty darn good. (Simpsons, et al, aside)
Last night Flash decided to watch a new one called The Ultimate Avengers or something (I dunno, I was TRYING to sleep off a massive headache) ... And the animation was simply gorgeous!
Ben Ten is a pretty cool show, as was the Justice League.
In fact, the Justice League movie they did a couple of years back was really good! I loved that they finally got Wonderwoman right!
I really don't get the chance to watch a lot these days, though. Joshie likes to watch either BotP, Gatch (he calls it Shupa), Astroboy, or any of those horrid preeschooler shows on TV.
Fortunately he lets me watch Discovery Channel ...

You mean - when I was driving my parents crazy for wanting to watch "that terrible destructive cartoon stuff"?
I made it a point to get home from school (with my homework complete) in order to see it when it came on KPLR (St. Louis) in the afternoons.... Same with BotP (although that was more a matter of getting to the community room at college in time to take over the channel)... |

Oh boy, Reboekah, your mom flipped out over "horrible violent cartoons" too? Mine threw a fit over Speed Racer and BotP--good grief--I had to watch them at a friend's house! I don't know what she thinks of the stuff that's on nowadays. She probably has no idea--they got rid of their cable years ago. Nowadays they just watch movies and Mystery! series.
Speaking of somewhat-sort-of-recent anime, we really, really enjoyed Chrono Crusade, both as the manga and the animated series. Lessee here, other series I liked . . . Gundam Wing, Inu-Yasha, Ranma 1/2 . . . huh, getting into older material here. It's true that a lot of the series I can think of are older: Hurricane Polymar, Tekkaman Blade, Record of Lodoss Wars, Orguss. Thunderbirds 2086 ran a close second to BotP on my wanna-see list. I also liked Robotech (please don't hit). Some other good ones are newer but definitely not current: Tenchi Muyo, Zoids (the US version), Escaflowne. Also *cough* Digimon (what can I say? They were cute). And They Were 11 is still one of my favorite anime movies ever. I mean, who could not love the cafeteria scene?

Oddly enough I remember watching the old Speed Racer when it was shown on MTV next to Beevis and Butthead, but then my mom objected (understandably) to me watching B&B so that was pretty much the end of MTV for me.
And yeah, ALL RIGHT Barrdwing. Lodoss War! High Five!
Oh and Digimon WAS a cool alternative to Pokemon. I was a part of the Pokecraze for a while, but the series started to lose my interest at its repetitiveness, while Digimon's story and action was engaging. The "Movie" was good too. Have you seen that? The director of that film is really starting to gain some attention for his film works.

Why am I not surprised that even back then, you were composing filks!
