Off topic, but Ric: You ever watch Battle of the Planets (otherwise known as G-Force)? Or Voltron?


Not really sure what these are...


These were some of the earlier anime inspired cartoons to hit America. Especially BOTP, which was on in the mid-late 70's. Voltron came on around 1984 and was very popular. It revolved around a group of teen-agers being recruited to pilot 5 robotic lions that could join to form a giant robot and fight the forces of a guy named Prince Lo-tor and his evil witch. Very cool, however after the second season they came out with a different version that was much more Asian (it just didn't "work" for American audiences) and it didn't last much longer than that.
