80's cartoon thread

Zhavric · 01-19-2009, 02:58 PM

Spawned from a recent discussion in the funny/strange pic thread...

What's your pic for the best 80's cartoon?

Post pics and vids from your favorite cartoon.

It wasn't the first Japanese series to get to the US, but I think it was the best: Robotech.

Obligatory apology if old/already posted/admission of gayness/IBTR.

Fuck yeah, Robotech. If anyone happens to be interested in DVDs, they released this little number a couple years back, <3 it very much so.

Also:

Voted TMNT, but Ghostbusters was definitely a close 2nd.

Ninajrr · 01-19-2009, 03:34 PM

This thread is such fail, you missed so many good shows.

FulorianC · 01-19-2009, 03:36 PM

Why exactly didn't you make Robotech an option, if it was your choice?

Voted Ghostbusters, but would have taken Robotech if the option was presented.

Eomer · 01-19-2009, 03:39 PM

Going with Robotech, personally. Or I would if it was a poll option.

This thread sucks. Voltron and He-Man are nowhere on the poll.

Kragg Goremaw · 01-19-2009, 03:53 PM

Another vote for Robotech here. I think it's the first time I saw a major character die in a cartoon.

Agree. No Masters Of The Universe is epic-fail.

Regime · 01-19-2009, 03:56 PM

No He-man, Voltron, Bravestarr etc

I voted Transformers but only because the 1986 movie beat all other shows. Orsen Welles last role fucking owned. TMNT, GIJOE, He-man, M.A.S.K(best theme song) etc all rock.

Zarcath · 01-19-2009, 04:22 PM

where the fuck is JEM?

Lanludar · 01-19-2009, 04:33 PM

Robotech was ok, but its amazingly sad that it was a giant clusterfuck of the original macross from japan which made way more sense.

ichisamurai · 01-19-2009, 04:36 PM

Dude...No X-Men poll

Zhaun's_Shade · 01-19-2009, 04:43 PM

Robotech. No question, no doubt. That was my favorite and probably most influential cartoon of my early life.

I can still hear the theme song in my head.
