Ask Lemmy

I have nostalgia for my late-teens early 20s cartoon consumption. I was still watching Batman:TAS and the 90s Spider-Man series. There were flashes of high-intensity (if not well told) brilliance from the 90s Real Adventures of Jonny Quest series. I have to admit, the CGI they used was not as well executed as Reboot. Darkwing Duck, Peter Pan and the Pirates, and Gargoyles were shows what I looked back on fondly.

Daria, Clone High, and Ren and Stimpy all made an impact on me as a young adult. Daria, for its sardonic, anti-establishment stance. Clone High for its mockery of sitcoms and rom-coms and teen angst. Ren and Stimpy for pushing everything past its limit.

In the end, though, it was Samurai Jack and 90s X-Men that stood head and shoulders above them all. X-Men because it was what I collected and knew the best. Samurai Jack because it was cinematic, well- paced, and offered me something that no other TV show, movie, cartoon series, or comic book did or could: "... [a] fool [who] seeks to return to the past to undo the future that is Aku!"

Starblazers episodes used to air randomly on one of the local UHF channels when I was around 11 years old. For some reason I remembered it recently, and some quick online searching found that it was an edited and English dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato. Binge watched the original subtitled episodes. It was nostalgic seeing the characters that I remembered from decades ago, but good to see the entire uncut story all the way to its end.

There may be dozens of us who still remember Captain Future. I used to get in trouble in school for doodling his space ship in my workbooks.

Lately, I’ve watched Scooby-Doo with my sister.

Specifically, The New Scooby-Doo Movies.

We both like all sorts of classic stuff even now.

Not sure if theyre technically cartoons, but Thunderbirds and Stingray.

There are many, Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ben 10 classic, Camp Lazlo and lots of other city era cartoons from Cartoon Network. But the number one that hits me with nostalgia, so much so that I don't re-watch much to not tint it, is Foster's Mansion for Imaginary Friends

Being a part of the internet in 2011, I vividly remember everyone talking about My Little Pony, even though I wasn't that hardcore of a fan at the time. I'm pretty sure my feed of Cartoon Network aired a couple episodes, but that's all I can remember watching.

And then some spinoff happened where all the ponies are... not ponies. This is when I completely lost interest in the franchise. Thanks, 2013.

No captain scarlet?

Extreme Dinosaurs.

Ripped shirtless anthropomorphic dinosaurs; what's not to love?
