There seems to be a few notable omissions here that were epic in their day: Thundercats, GI Joe, Transformers (the original one, not Beast Wars or that CGI crap), Jace and the Wheeled Warriors, M.A.S.K., and He-Man, as well as the various Voltron franchises. Those were the dailies, so I guess everybody else here was only allowed to watch TV on Saturday mornings.... :lol:

But the one I like best was a show called Galaxy Rangers. Similar to Silverhawks, but definitely less gay, the Galaxy Rangers was short lived and might have been one of the greats. It was a lot more similar to the more current inter-galactic anime, and what set it apart, I believe, is that unlike its contemporaries mentioned above, they were not constrained by the "single epic bad-guy", which became yoke that the more long lived shows like Transformers and Gi Joe eventually tried to free themselves. In Galaxy Rangers, each week they faced a different set of bad guys, and so it was possible (at least theoretically) that the good guys would actually catch / kill the bad guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMpsAmWbSJg. Some compare it to Bravestar, but IMHO they were not even in the same league.

Also, nNoone has mentioned Woody Woodpecker :shock:

Transformers
GI Joe
Thundercats
M.A.S.K. (I really don't know why, but all of my friends and I loved it)


I never really cared for He-Man. I always thought it was dumb, despite my adoration for even dumber cartoons, like M.A.S.K.

And of course, I loved Loony Toons.

Speaking of He-Man, have you ever watched the Ron Paul parody?

I'd never heard of it before the recent movie - don't think it ever made it to the UK.

My God - I completely forgot about Ulyses 31. That was a cool show, but also short lived.

Surprised no one has mentioned St. Seiya... it was huge abroad in the 80's-early 90's.

Now, I really like Inuyasha...if it's on TV, I got to stop what i am doing and watch it, no matter what episode it is...I am such an Inuyasha addict!


I used to like Inuyasha but it got too repetitive. Hunt after Naraku, Naraku comes up with brilliant plan to kill them, plan fails, find Naraku but blow their chance at killing him. After a while I just lost interest.


If the show was based on reality, Naraku would have killed everybody in the third or fourth episode.

But I really enjoyed the demon-hunter aspect of the program and the fighting brothers relationship between Shoshomuru and Inuyasha was intriguing. Shoshomuru would have slaughtered Inuyasha if he didn't possess the Tetsiga. (I don't know if I am spelling these names right).

In the beginning, the program was just based on demons acquiring crystal jewel shards, then the party would have to kill whatever demon had it and take the jewel shard back. Then the program became more Naraku focused, and Naraku started making demons out of his own body, so Inuyasha and his friends had to deal with different aspects of Naraku.

I would say that Lord Shoshomuru was my favorite character out of the whole program. He was a powerful loner, with just a touch of hidden sympathy for the peasant girl he saved and restored to life, Ren.

I would have been fine if the Inuyasha creators would have just had a Shoshomuru series instead, but Inuyasha was alright. I was entertained by each episode, and it was kind of neat to start watching it from the beginning to see how everybody comes together and what their backgrounds are. I think that is where I got hooked. Inuyasha and Kogomai were always running into new friends, each of which had their own unique story to add to the program.


I personally like Inu more then Sesshy. Though really I <3 Shippo. :) (Who is in my avy spot once again) Have you only seen up to the anime end, or have you read the manga too? (I've just finished the latter)

Sorry, I never read it...sounds interesting though. Whenever I am flipping channels and Inu is on, I have to stop and watch it. Even if it is a rerun!

And Ship is a pretty cool character and would make a neat race in a Dungeon and Dragons game!
