@TechnoDestructo: I own the Night Warriors anime, so if I want to see the same characters done more correctly, I have that option. The Darkstalkers cartoon is easy fluff.

@Wookiee1: you do NOT know the awesomeness of the Super mario show. 1/3 of the show ran on Live-Action and the rest in cartoon.

I was probably the only kid in Korea who watched it from Korea, it always came on some weird late night distorted channel.

The oddest thing about this show was that they obviously tried to downplay the fetishistic stuff (check out the toned-down "physiques" on Felicia and Morrigan) but then they go and do the biggest "fan-service" move possible by making the main character a teenaged nerd who has Felicia basically living in his room doing the Leelo/River-Tam "all-powerful-but-naive-goddess-with-no-standards-in-men" bit.

You laugh, but I own the whole series on legal DVD. Taken seriously, it's horrid, but if you watch it with the understanding that it was meant to be a kids' show, it's pretty amusing.

As hard as that cartoon bit... and believe me, it drew blood... Lord Raptor's the only thing that made it bearable... he was actually MEANT to be funny.

And as for the racy bikinis... for crying out loud, one of the main characters was FELICIA the CATWOMAN!!!!

Ninja-Z — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:50:55 MST

What's the problem with bikinis? Kids see it whenever they go to the beach, so it's not like translating it to a cartoon will cause any mental scarring.

Midnight Bliss would be pretty creepy if the cartoon included it, though.

@theswitcher: How many times did they say "You are curiously attractive for a (merman reference)"?

Not to mention Schwartzenegger making a cameo... "If you want to live, don't steal my lines"... wasn't Lord Raptor already... like... DEAD?

And that's what killed 99% of cartoons made after the 70's for me... the writing. Old Looney Toons, Johnny Quest, Space Angel, Clutch Cargo, Woody Woodpecker and Tom & Jerry cartoons at least featured intelligent writing and witty lines. GI Joe and the rest seemed to be written by comedy writers hellbent on trying to sound serious.

@Padder: I'm not a big fan of Anime but at least Japanese drawing artists seem to care about facial expressions being coherent from one frame to the other, not to mention the backgrounds and the US 80's and 90's cartoon artists obsession with trying to make drawings anthropomorphic every time.

Hey, Pacman more than made up for his craptacular Saturday morning cartoon with his noble death scene in Futurama.

@Lackshmana:
I believe the regulation on that was that they couldn't be thongs or thong-like. As long as the bikini bottom doesn't disappear between the cheeks, 'sokay.

As compared to the plots and timing being awful?

BPMο — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:41:09 MST

@Wookiee1:
Man, I so remember the Pac-Man cartoon. I used to watch it all the time on USA Network, along with G.I. Joe and Sailor Moon (odd mix of cartoons on the block, eh?). And every time Cartoon Network would play the Christmas in Pac-Land special, I'd watch it and wonder why they don't air the rest of the series.

@NeoAkira:
"...Ren and Stimpy (the original)..."
Glad I'm not the only one who found Adult Party Cartoon to be complete trash. I don't get what went wrong, you had a lot of the original talent, and without the strict censorship Nickelodeon put on the show... Sounded like a recipe for success, but it was a disaster instead...

Nside — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:37:39 MST

obviously the shark ate the swimmer.

Raptor stopped running toward him because he saw the guy getting eaten (that couldn't be shown on a kid's cartoon)... So Raptor decided to not dwell on the negative, he would have a sip of his mixed drink to help dull the pain of his contractual obligation to completely embarrass himself with cartoon cliches...

MajorMcMuffin — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:29:43 MST

I may not be Australian, but somehow that was vaguely offensive. And unintentionally hilarious (however cringe-inducing). And poorly animated. What ever happened to the swimmer. One second Raptor is running to his aid, the he's partying with bikini girls. The the shark has shades. I could go on about the flaws, but it would be a pointless exercise in pedantry.
