That was an impression. Uncanny, I thought.

Wasn't The Hair Bear Bunch out around this time aswell (Oh, Oh, Mr Peevly, the bears are escaping)
Originally posted by Spotnick As for example, I grew up watching Goldorak and Albator, two japanese cartoons, I don't know if they had the same name in english (Albator for sure, I saw the english name, anyway, he's a space pirate!).
Goldorak, aka Grandizer, was also my favourite cartoon. If only it was released in DVD (or even in VHS)...
Some web sites: http://perso.club-internet.fr/djspace http://www.home.ch/~spaw3406/goldorak.htm http://www.vex.net/~guru/goldorak/goldorak.htm
Having been born only two minutes ago, I'd have to go with Pokemon.....:D
No, seriously: Growing up, I used to love GI Joe, the Adventures of He-Man (nevermind the terrible flick), and Transformers. Other stuff I watched included the Smurfs and Scooby Doo, though those haven't really had much staying power. And of course the entire Loony Tunes canon, Bugs and Daffy are heroes of mine.
My absolute fave, however, has to be Donald Duck. Anyone remember the one where he gets home late at night and is trying to go to sleep, but various things keep happening and get magnified in his mind (like a faucet dripping and curtains going up)? Everytime I can't get to sleep, I think about that particular cartoon....
he-man, she-ra, cities of gold, g-force, dungeons and dragons all passed the time, but duckula and danger mouse have to be my faves.
by the way, i remember wait 'till your father gets home but can't remember whether i liked it. i'll watch owt that's on telly whether i like it or not ...
okay...well...the only thing I ever raced home to see was a cartoon series called, if I remember correctly, was Starblazers...it was actually one of those Japanese things with English voices dubbed in...you had Derek Wildstar flying all over the place in the battleship Yamamoto trying to save Earth from the evil, oh what was his name....Deslok???
my next favorite would have been the one and only SpeedRacer....he's a demon on wheels...
WenOrder and Taboo, did you also used to watch Robotech ???
I really used to love that series as well -- it even brought me to buy my first books in english (which I never completed reading because I couldn't understand half of them, but that's another story).
And, yes, I also was a huge Goldorak fan when I was a younger kid, and also used to watch G.I. Joe (and still remember my surprised reaction when Cobra Commander was killed in the movie and replaced by Serpentor, and then came back in a more powerful form -- aaaaaah, fiction...).
And how could I forget Voltron? God, that was one I was obsessed with. Anyone remember the little magazines where you had to put stickers in to see what was going on (i.e. "Voltron comes together" with the sticker showing, well, Voltron coming together)? I used to spend lots of money looking for those stickers. Geez, memories......
Addendum to the last messages.

Shit Tabsy, I swear sometimes that you're my long lost brother. I remember saving my allowance for about 6 months so I could get some gigantic Voltron robot toy, then I could connect all the little Voltron robots together to form this gigantic mother freaking Voltron thing. Or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong thing...Voltron was the cartoon with the cat robots right? And when things got tough, they all came together to form the big robot right? Tell me if I'm wrong.
I have started a monster! :D
Albator was called Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Herlock, Raymar in other countries.
I bought the full DVD set last year..
(Note for our French fellows, it seems it's not the same traduction in french)
As for Goldorak, it was never released in DVD, but I have the full collection in VCDs!
All in french, of course ;)
Also, I have an older sister, so I watched a few girls cartoon pretty too often, like Candy..
And that one was only popular in Québec I think, it's Le Petit Castor (Little Beaver)
And how can I forget...
Our local translation is quite hilarious...

Putain, tu as toute la collection de Goldorak en vidéo... J'en bave!!!!!!!!!! Je vendrais ma mère pour l'obtenir! As-tu la possibilité de les copier sur DVD?
Et crois-le, crois-le pas, c'est un Français de Lyon avec qui je travaillais qui me l'a copiée.
Il a tout downloadé sur internet en utilisant eDonkey en MPEG et convertit sur VCD.
Pour mettre sur DVD, non je n'ai pas de graveur DVD! Mais je lis les VCD dans mon lecteur DVD...
P/S: End of french break ;)

Yeah, you're thinking the right thing, Voltron was the cat robots that all came together to for the giant warrior (now that I think about it, the Voltron people could sue Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, unless of course they're owned by the same company). I had the same robot, it was all metal and such. The yellow cat that was supposed to be one of the feet would never stay on after a while, though, so mine had to hop around one-legged on the GI Joe Super Aircraft Carrier (I was big on integrating all my toys into one gigantic battle. I was such a lonely boy). Ah, memories.....
