Agreed on Starblazers. Altho it was a very much Americanized (thanks to creative editing and dubbing) version of the superior Space Battleship Yamato.
You know, they did a live action movie of Yamato a few years back? Pacing was off, if I hadn’t grown up with Starblazers as a kid I would have been somewhat lost. And I didn’t like the ending (which I won’t spoil).
There’s ALSO a rebooted anime series that came out a couple years back. All 26 eps are out on the net, and available via streaming. I cant remember the link tho. MUCH improved from the original in terms of both the quality of the animation and the storyline.
But thats my childhood. For my kids the top cartoons are Avatar, Phineas & Ferb and Kim Possible.
I will have to check that out.
My kids are so busy watching their ipads they do not watch much tv. They like funny youtube videos. I have to monitor what they are doing with those things though.
Space Battleship Yamato (Uchyuu Senkyan Yamato). You can find it on some anime channels. I recommend it.
