A couple more… Underdog (Superpower through drugs!) Rocky and Bullwinkle Gargoyles (Seen all but two episodes of the origonal run when it was on the WB. The story line was coninued throughout the series, kind of like Babylon 5. _very_ ambitious for a cartoon). And of course all the old Looney Tunes! * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Mmm, Johnny Bravo. Reminds me all too much of my writing partner. I have a problem with falling for short run cartoons: Pirates of Darkwater. Reboot. Things that are really nifty and you only get a few seasons before the storyline stops. (Despite rumours of a new season of Reboot, Mainframe is still waffling) We’re big Anime fans around here (if only someone could translate the Japanese versions we have of Project Ako, Robotech, and Vampire Hunter D – they KILL Ds cool voice in the dubbed version, ick). I’m still trying to find a subtitled (NO DUBBING!! AAAHHH!) version of “A Wind Called Amnesia” that’s not going to cost me 45.00. Lots of Bakshi on the shelves here, and uncountable boxes from the geniuses at Termite Terrace. Cartoon Network has done a good job of keeping the fetish happy. Dexter’s Lab, PowerPuff Girls (Gundam Wing added to the Toonami line up), Johnny Bravo (swoon, heh). Unfortunately, they also subject us to things like 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, A Pup Named … etc. The horror, the horror. * * * I just haven’t been the same since that house fell on my sister. ---

- - - I hardly ever remember to watch or record any TV shows, but if I’m around during Simpsons or Futurama I’ll usually watch. King of the Hill used to be funny, but seems to drag a lot nowadays. I also happened to discover Cow and Chicken while flipping channels one day; I kinda like it because everything is ridiculously exaggerated, and the show has _no_ redeeming social value whatsoever (which, as any kid can tell you, is crucial to a cartoon being entertaining). A half an hour of total stupidity. Also it’s on at about the same time I often get home from work. - MC - - - “Positively _No_ Chicken Milk!” ---

Hey, kelli, it’s great to be back. After the Great Password Hack, I had some problems getting back to the boards (i.e., I forgot my password). Plus, things at work have been really hectic. But I back, baby! Okay, I gotta admit that “Dragonball Z” leaves me colder than the little penguin in the Bugs Bunny cartoon. But “Batman: Beyond” really surprised me. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it rocks. Like all the new WB action toons, the voicework is outstanding. Say, did anyone catch the “Batman” cartoon entitled “Legends of the Dark Knight.” Story goes: 3 kids are hanging out, swapping stories about what the Batman is really like. 1st kid tells a story his uncle told him, which turns into a classic 40’s Batman comic! They even got Gary Owens (“Laugh-In”) to do Batman! 2nd kid poo-poos this story, and tells them that Batman is much scarier than this. Her story turns into Frank Miller’s Dark Knight, with Michael Ironside as the Batman! The beautiful thing about this toon is that the animators captured the artwork of the original comic books artists 100% correctly. The 40’s Batman was Bill Finger/Bob Kane all the way, while the Dark Knight was perfect Miller, including the heavy black lines and silhouettes. ---

That’s one of my favorite episodes of _Batman_, too, **Guy**. Another favorite is “Deep Freeze,” where Mr. Freeze is broken out of jail by a multi-billionaire, Grant Walker, who wants Freeze to make him immortal through cryogenics. The guy made his fortune building _theme parks_, and his latest one was a city of the future, not unlike Epcot. It was obvious this guy was an evil version of Walt Disney, who, according to UL, had his body frozen upon death. I laughed my fool head off when I got the joke! And I bet no one under the age of twenty who saw the episode caught on, either! Who says cartoons are just for kids? * * * When all else fails, ask Cecil. ---

I think all my favorites have been mentioned here. I absolutely adore Batman. I have a crush on Bruce Wayne. I also like Batman Beyond. And of course, Simpsons is the best show on TV, and Futurama and South Park are also excellent. Space Ghost is great…what time is it on?

Here are the Anime titles that are my favorites, and IMHO, classics: 1)Akira 2)Fist of the North Star 3)Ninja Scroll 4)Ghost in the Shell 5)Appleseed These are what I consider to be the core of Anime, but that is just my opinion.
