How many of you watched it as a kid?

Why, in my younger days, we had to DRAW our own cartoons for entertainment! :D Thats right, we didn't have fancy pens or pencils, we used our own blood to draw with!. Of course, that was after doing chores that lasted until 11pm at night!
-
I heard that from my Granny!
I thought you where younger then that, well at least by a few years! :D
-
I used to watch when I came home for luch when I was younger.

Wanna be disappointed? Go buy the Space: 1999 TV Series on DVD, on the drive home, daydream about those cool spaceships hovering and landing on the moon and the neat ole staple-gun like little laser guns they had. Get home, watch one episode, giggle at the bad 70s hair-do's and costumes...then try to stomach these episodes. Aiieeeee! I bought all 3 Packs that has like 9 episodes in each Pack...and I just....can't....watch....them....:eek:

hehe, I preordered those DVD sets, except for set 5. When set 4 got here, it reminded me how much I hated the whole Southern Cross series. ;) Eventually I'll get set 5 just to have them all.
I'd also like to have the original Macross series without the Harmony Gold addons. There are spots in the "Robotech" version that were added in by HG that are just awful animation compared to the original Japanese animation. Be nice to see how the original was intended to look and how the storyline went on that one.

Nifty is right... I used to watch when it came out on TV here while I was in the fifth grade. Had the chicken pox so I HAD to stay home and watch it :) However years down the road I find out that "Robotech" is treated as an abomination by the Japanese anime fans of the original Macross series. The "Southern Cross" and final series with the "Invid" are in fact separate anime series which shared only transforming mecha with the Macross series. They were just grafted into (hacked up) a storyline by Harmony Gold.
It would be great if you could find the original Macross series and enjoy it in it's original form. Including Japanese voices with English subtitles (sorry, the English dubbing sounds corny to me in most cases). There are REAL sequels to Macross and are very good too from what I hear (Macross II, Macross Plus, etc.). The last was called Macross 7 I think - one of the mechs is a transformable F/A-117 looking deal, and Max & Miria from the first series once again make an appearance. Also, each series has a "condensed" version in the form of a movie. I liked the movie version more than the series version of Macross (It is called Macross: Do You Remember Love?).

WHOA thats what the name of that thing was ...... i totally forgot lol
i have a robotech toy in storage and was trying for like 2 years now to remember the name of it. i asked everyone i know if they remembered .... none did lol
TY :D
-
JB73:
If that toy is in good condition, it may bring you some $$. Not sure tho. I know a friend of mine spent a whole lot of $$ on re-issues of the Japanese originals.

yeah its in great condition .. might have to look it up on ebay :D
TY for the info :)
-
What was the show about the submarine in space ?
-
Submarine?
Well there was Starblazers, which was a Japanesse destroyer (sunk in WW2) that was "remade" to be a spaceship to save the Earth from the evil Gamalons (ship was called "Argo"). Featured a great "wave motion gun"
I think our Destroyer in Aces High should have it as a perk!

Anyone remember Quark? :D
-
Ha Mauser, you can get the original Macross in Japanese with English sub-titels form AnimEgo. I waited 2 years for them to remaster and clean up the originals. They look great! Robotech is what got me into Anime, in fact me and some friends started a anime club and then started a con. :)
-
I bought the whole Starblazers first season on DVD only a little while ago... brings back a lot of memories.
-Soda
The Assassins
-
Tumor, I remember Quark... Trash collecting in space! I loved those twins! 2 seasons, if that?
LePaul, I'm waiting for the UFO series (Gerry Andersen's project between Thunderbirds and Space:1999) to come out on DVD... now THAT is a series I loved as a kid. Sci-Fi channel ran a marathon several years back and I managed to get several of them on VHS. I thought it held up pretty well, considering it was a 1970 show depicting the "future"... 1980! Lol.

umm ' buck rogers' with the annoying little robot that went 'biddy biddy biddy' and, battlestar galactica with the 'Cylons' they were way cool :)
but cartoon wise for Sci-fi, my earliest memories, are for 'G-Force' I think with the ship that turned into a phoneix or something ? in japenese anime style with bad dubbing :)

Your thinking of "Battle of the Planets (http://www.akdreamer.com/botp/) "
The ship turned into a fiery phoenix, and G-Force was made up of Jason, Mark, Princess, Tiny, and Keyop

Trivia of the day:
The voice of the 'biddy biddy biddy' robot was the legendary Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, and most of the rest of the Looney Tunes characters.
And of course, Looney Tunes had the best of the Sci Fi characters, Marvin the Martian.

That "destroyer" was the Yamato, a battleship that was bigger and better than our own Iowa class! Too bad battleships were obsolete in the face of carrier groups :D
