Old School Anime

[Tsukuyomi]

Does n-e one here watch Nickelodeon? I remember I was hooked on it when I was 5yrs. old. Did u know they played anime back then. Yeah, they acually did. I didn't realize this until a couple of days ago. I was trying to remember more of my child hood and tha anime series "The Little Prince" popped in my head. Although, I don't think I knew it was anime back then. Hmm, I guess I've been watching anime longer then I thought. There where some others, but I forgot tha names. What r some of your anime experiences

Some other anime titles Nickelodeon played was Lil'Bits and Grimm's Fairy Tales. I don't know about Lil' Bits, but I do know that Grimm's Fairy Tales was actually a Nippon (Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki) production. Cool, ne?

You know, now that I think about it, I do remember watching The Little Prince on Access when I was little -- but all I remember is the opening theme. (Later, in high school French class, I read the book. ^_^ )

As for Nippon, I think The Bush Baby is the only one of theirs that I've watched and it's actually quite good. ^__^ (Maybe I ought to do a review on it, since I don't think anyone else here has even heard of it...)


Off-topic: Congrats on 3000 posts, Gypsy!

I watched Candy Candy when I was little!!!! My mommy liked it and thought it taught good morals and so she showed it to me, but I never appreciated it until I was a bit older. ^^;

I remember watching Battle of the Planets (aka G-Force, aka Gatchaman) when I was very small. It was on like at 6:00 in the morning on Saturday (Sunday?) and I'd try to remember to get up and watch it.

The first series I remember catching most of was Speed Racer. Most people my age and older used to call all anime "Speed Racer" until Pokemon made it big.

I thought I would be tha only one who remembered them. I loved tha Grimm's fairy tales. Especially tha Twelve Princesses and Durinda and Duringle (ignore spelling). Do u know where I can get my hands on them? I don't really remember LilBits tho. U r so lucky u remember tha theme song to The Little Prince. I just remember him being naked and tha gurl living in a rose. Oh yah, he lived in space to. Hey, do u remember Estavon And The Seven Cities Of Gold? I think tha gurl's name was Mya. I have to check on it

Although I never actuly had a clue what I was watching I was actuly watching Anime since I was about 4 or 5. I remember my favourite Animes were "Aesop's Fables" and "A Journey Through Fairyland" I was always curious as to why the animation was so simmilar between those two movies. My father told me it was because they were Japanese and so I asumed that all Japanese cartoon characters had to have big eyes and be totaly unrealistic looking. Of course now I know better but I find it kind of funny that even when I was little I was still obsessed with Anime.

I loved the Twelve Princesses one! That and the one about the giant ... I can't remember the title.

one anime will sum it all up: Speed Racer

[Solid Ronin]

Shouldn't this be under anime?.?.?.?.

I watched:
G-Force
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Ronin Warriors
PokeMon (Before it became main stream)

Its funny how I've no or little interseted in those shows now...

[Noley]

I think Dragon Ball and Dragon ball Z are.

I can't remember that far back!
All I can remember is that I think,and this isn't anime I know,I remember
watching a couple of the Supermarination shows that were imported from
England.But my memory is fuzzy that far back.
Probably Speed Racer and Astroboy,if I did see any anime when I was
little,since those would have been the two that would have been most likely
on American tv back in the '60s.

[Raiden no Kishi]

Superbook.

[MasterDias]

Pokemon isn't "old-school." It started in the 90s and is still on-going.
Calling DBZ "old-school" is probably pushing it as well. It aired during the 90s.

I consider "old-school" to be anime that was made during the 70s and 80s...

On the other hand, if you are refering to the first anime that I watched...
That would have to be Pokemon and Digimon... although I did see Superbook, before I even knew that it was anime...

[Joshua Christopher]

Yay for Astroboy/Tetsuwan Atom, Speed Racer/Mach Go Go Go!, and Gigantor/Tetsujin 28.

[Yojimbo]

I used to watch G-Force, Transformers, Robotech, and Speed Racer back in the day.

[mitsuki lover]

My memory isn't that good when it comes to trying to remember what I used to watch on Saturday mornings or weekdays when I was a kid.Outside of the obvious like Romper Room and The Flintstones I have a very poor
memory of the shows that I would have watched back then.

[Tsukuyomi]

SuperBook, huh. I never heard of that. Is it good?

[Ichigo_89]

When I was little, my sunday school class showed Superbook tapes every week. Others I watched were

Speed Racer
Voltron (was totally addicted to this)
My Neighbor Totoro
Robotech

Speaking of Superbook, I used to watch this cartoon in Sunday school that I can't remember the name of. It was about three archaeologists that get sucked through a time portal and experience Old Testament stories like the flood and the fall of Jericho firsthand. I thought it was pretty awesome, but I was also, like, eight. Does anybody know what this is?

Oh man! I remember that one too! But I can't recollect a name....AAAGH! Somebody help us!!

[Gypsy]

The title completely has slipped my mind, but I do remember it being a Hannah Barbara production. What was the annoying kid's name - Mogi or something like that?

[Tsukuyomi]

I'm still puzzles. I never seen it or heard of it. I just remembered they used to play this one cartoon on Nick with these animal kids. There were koalas, rabbits, and penguins. I remember one episode that sticks out in my head. It was "The Goddess Of The Moon". I should really check on those.

[The Doctor]

THe name of the Hanna Barbera Cartoon is "The Greatest Adventures" or something like that. I have some tapes of it sitting at home collecting dust.

I'll check the name and either post the name in a reply, or if this thread hasn't been touched, I'll just edit it into this post.

[Lady Arianrod]

I remember getting up early to watch Sailor Moon in 1995 (or so). I also recall seeing Speed Racer, Transformers, and Dragonball Z in the early 90s.

[Knuckles]

Nickelodeon was awesome back in the day :p I miss that show "You Can't Do That on Television"
