I was pretty run-of-the-mill with standard Saturday morning fare of the '70s, but enjoyed Star Trek, UFO, and Space 1999 in the evening; nothing Japanese until the early '80s. Now popular shows in my house are Full Metal Alchemist, GIS: Stand Alone Complex, Samurai Champloo, S-CRYED, Pokemon, Miyazaki films, and Bo-bo-bo-bo Bo Bo-bo-bo (for laughs).
I caught an episode of that a few weeks ago and couldn't stop laughing. I haven't laughed that hard at a cartoon since The Tick.
