Astro Boy (TV 1/1963) | Good | I used to really want to have rockets in my feet. |
Candy Candy (TV) | Decent | Oh, the number of childish ribald jokes me and my friends use to make about this bishounen schmaltzathon. |
Captain Future (TV) | Not really good | I was such a little punk. I found the cap'n too earnest for my taste. |
Heidi - A Girl of the Alps (TV) | Good | I used to really want a huge Saint Bernard. |
Kimba the White Lion (TV 1/1965) | Very good | I used to want to be a white lion. |
Marco - From the Apennines to the Andes (TV) | Very good | I can still sing the entire opening theme song. |
Mazinger Z (TV) | Bad | Can't remember what annoyed me so much about this series. Probably the rather silly baddies. It put me off mecha shows for a decade. |
Nobody's Boy Remi (TV) | Good | I remember being very impressed by the cruelty and mean-spiritedness of the writing. I think this is when I realized anime was *different* |
Princess Knight (TV) | Good | It must be one of my *earliest* memories of anime. |
Shōnen Ninja Kaze no Fujimaru (TV) | Very good | My first taste of Miyazaki. Not that I knew who he was, or even that you needed *people* to actually make the cool comics and stuff. |
Space Adventure Cobra (TV) | Good | I used to want a gun in my arm. Cobra was the series that impressed on me how cool these Japa things were. You know, like very damn cool, and with layers waiting to be peeled off and stuff. The joy of adolescent geeky self-absorption, ah! |
Speed Racer (TV) | Very good | I can hardly think of this series as "animation." It's more like background music to so many of my childhood memories. |
Treasure Island (TV) | Very good | I really used to love Long John Silver's nasty sense of humor. This series made crutches my favorite close-range weapon of all time. |
