Anime/cartoons have been with us for a very long time from the beinnings in black and white through to the CGI efforts we see today.
What is your favourite ANime or cartoon. Maybe you have ones you like a different points in your life?
The floor is open...
Sailor Moon. It's the show I grew up with. Sailor Saturn was my favourite. And Jupiter.
Ohh, sweet childhood memories, I can still remember....Moon Power, make up!
Hmmm...... Hard..... I thing maybe...... Inyuyasha. Yes definatly Inyuyasha.....
What is CGI?
Gatchaman, of course...but I like what I've seen of Macross on You Tube...and I really like Inuyasha alot (esp. Sango and Miroku)...I just love the fluff!

I'm not actually into any anime outside of Gatch, but I used to love Ren & Stimpy.

UnderDog. ScoobyDoo. Goldorak (even though I didn't understand the language). Rocky and Bullwinkle. All those were younger, though. BOTP was the one that stuck with me.

BOTP s my all time favourite outside of that transformers and I quite liked Jayce and the wheeled warriors and for the girly stuff sailor moon.
I haven't really seen a whole lot of Anime...obviously BOTP...Ummmm...Starblazers is the only other anime I watched regularly...
Bugs Bunny/Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Mighty Mouse, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Underdog, Dudley Dooright, Roger Ramjet, George of the Jungle (Dad's fav), Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Snoopy & all the Peanuts gang 
When I lived in Montreal we used to go downtown to the movies for Saturday family matinee. Saw practically every Disney movie made. The Aristocats, 101 Dalmations, Bambi, Robin Hood, Song of the South...just to name a few.

Oh yeah, CGI... I keep forgetting that counts. In that case, I have to add the Toy Story movies to my list.
So much Anime, so little time...
Sailormoon I still love and watch it on youtube. I also enjoyed Trinity Blood, but the ending kind of disappointed me. Yuyu Hakusho was good too.
Other old school, besides Gatch that is, would be Thundercats and Voltron.
I watching now Blood:The last vampire on YT. The trailers are addictive!
Hmmm, BoTP/Gatch is #1 for me. I also remember watching Kimba the White Lion (I know, soooo sedate!). As soon as I finish watching the Gatch series and BoTP on DVD, I want to start watching some more Anime. I already put Star Blazers on my list, just from what I read here on the boards. I also want to start watching Naruto. I keep catching eps, but since I haven't seen it from the beginning, I don't follow the storyline that well.
Oh, one more old school was Voltron. Not sure if that's a bad word in the Gatch universe or not, but one of the reasons why I liked it so much when I was younger was because it ripped off...uh, I mean reminded me of BoTP. Now that I'm a little older and a little wiser, I really want to see GoLion and get the real Voltron story! Anyone know if it's still slated for release??
I felt the same way seeing Voltron the first time...I thought, "Why does this look so familiar?"
I'd love to see Go Lion, too...
But Princess kicks Allura's ass any day of the week...Allura got on my nerves...
Allura can be annoying but Lance filled the spot when I needed a BOTP fix in the younger days.
Originally posted by Springie But Princess kicks Allura's ass any day of the week...Allura got on my nerves...Hmph, Keith grated on my nerves in that show. Zarkon next. As for the blondie, couldn't she just hang up with Lotor?
Yeah, Princess was definitely the cooler of the two heroines. Voltron focused too much on how Allura shouldn't be out in the field.
"Ooh, Koran, I need to go help the team."
"No Princess, you mustn't!"
"I'm going, Koran."
"Princess Allura!! What would your father say?"
Blech... So much for feminism on that show (even though Allura always did go in the end!)
For the male characters, I liked Keith (hmm, it seems I have somesort of thing for Commanders!). Lance was ok, but definitely not a Jason. Pidge just annoyed the sh*t out of me. I hated his voice. Wait a minute... That's the same issue with Keyop! Wow, they really did rip off BoTP, didn't they??

Besides Gatchaman, my favorite anime shows include Robotech, Project A-ko, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Guyver, Lupin III and Dirty Pair. Ayep... definitely oldschool here. 
I've been obsessed with a newer anime show called Shin-Chan recently too though. A total riot!!

Aside from Gatchaman, I am a die hard fan of Tadao Nagahama's "Chodenji Mashin Voltes V" and I've collected many items regarding the super robot show. (Popinka die cast Godaikin Voltes V, Original Soundtrack, Illustrated Pocket Book, original DVDs) aside from this, I'm also a fan of Hayao Miyasaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. 
My favourite was always BotP, now Gatchaman. Now I've discovered "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki. 
I'm looking forward to seeing more of his films.

Gatchaman...
I watched the Warner Bros. cartoon, (Bugs Bunny et al), Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo. My favorite anime was Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer and then when I was older, BOTP. In the 80's it seemed like cartoons got too PC and were really boring, (the ones I saw anyway). I really love the Simpsons and Futurama. What really impressed me was Batman:The Animated Series. I also enjoyed Superman:TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. What blew me away was when I bought the first box set of Gatchaman--what a difference to BOTP! Don't get me wrong, I still love BOTP but hated the annoying robots and how the episodes sometimes didn't make sense.
I've been trying to watch some new anime; I watched the Basilisk series on IFC and really enjoyed it. It's like a Romeo & Juliet set in feudal Japan. If you want to watch a silly but funny series you should see Ranma 1/2. It's about a boy who got cursed and turns into a girl when cold water is dumped on her and back to a boy when hot is used. He is supposed to be betrothed to a girl who hates his guts! 
As a kid, after BOTP went off the air, my next favourite cartoon was the Smurfs (don't ask me why -I was a kid!)
A few years ago, I took a liking to Samurai Jack, that was on the Cartoon Network, but only ever watched it sporadically.
After I finished watching all of the Gatchaman DVDs from ADV, I went into anime withdrawl. I ended up buying all of Fullmetal Alchemist (which I like a lot) and Neon Genesis Evangelion (weird but interesting). I know there are other good anime series out there, but it's an issue of finding time to watch anything now.

Originally posted by meg Now I've discovered "Howl's Flying Castle" and "Spirited Away" by Hayao Miyazaki.I've quickly turned into a Hayao Miyazaki/Ghibli Studios fan. I recently started watching his films and I'm completely taken with the storytelling and animation. So far I've watched Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle. I've enjoyed all three, but PM and SA edged out Howl's for me. There was just something about the stories of San and Ashitaka and Chihiro/Sen and Haku. I didn't feel the same tie between Howl and Sophie in Howl's... Maybe because that one was based on a book and was not a Ghibli original story. But I just received Narsicaa today and I'm going to watch it over the weekend. I'm sooo looking forward to seeing this film! Glad to see there are other Miyazaki/Ghibli fans here!
I haven't seen the other ones yet, but I'm slowly collecting them. I think they're worth having!
Originally posted by Hinotori What?? We have another Smurfs fan on the board??? Oh how smurfy!!I'm not sure what became of my smurf collection. Last I heard, my father had kept it (and my lego) around because my step-mother's grandchildren liked to play with it, but that was about 10 years ago. I'm going to be in Nova Scotia in a few weeks, and I'm going to look for it. I had smurfs before I even knew they were smurfs. In 1978, my older brother spent the summer in Germany, and brought me two smurfs as a gift. I had no clue what they were, so he told me they were "schlumpf" (I think that's the word he used) and that they were blue gnome-like things that lived in forests. One of them had a red hat and a beard, which my brother explained meant that he was the leader. Two years later, they were all over North America, and then the cartoon came out...

I did read somewhere that Miyazaki is working on another film (I think this makes the second or third time he's come out of retirement). Hmmm, let me see if I can find the info.
Ah, here it is. From Wikipedia (of course), so take it FWIW.
"In 2006, Nausicaa.net reported Hayao Miyazaki's plans to direct another film, rumored to be set in Kobe. Among areas Miyazaki's team visited during pre-production were an old café run by an elderly couple, and the view of a city from high in the mountains. The exact location of these places is censored from Studio Ghibli's production diaries. The studio has also announced that Miyazaki has begun creating storyboards for the film and that they are being produced in watercolor because the film will have an "unusual visual style." Studio Ghibli anticipates a production time of 20 months, with release slated for Summer 2008.
In 2007, the film's title was publicly announced as Gake no ue no Ponyo, literally "Ponyo on a Cliff." The story is said to revolve around a five-year old boy, Sosuke, and the Princess goldfish, Ponyo, who wants to become human. Studio Ghibli President Toshio Suzuki noted that "70 to 80% of the film takes place at sea. It will be a directors challenge on how they will express the sea and its waves with freehand drawing." The film will probably not contain any computer generated imagery, or CGI, in contrast to Miyazaki's other recent work."
