Man, I remember those. You young things make me feel so dated.
Being from Korea, I watched mostly Japanese cartoons, or anime as people call them. Lessee... there were a lot of giant robot cartoons like Mazinger Z, something about rabbits and robots on the moon, Eagle Brothers 5, and um... something that sounds like McAnder V. These were Engrish titles that the Japanese people thought up that got translated into Korean, you see. Excuse me if they aren't quite what they are. Um, I also watched Dragonball. Not Dragonball Z, mind you. The first one, when Goku were the same height as Krillin. There was also a Mario cartoon... and my father and I enjoyed watching the Galaxy Express 999.
Then I graduated (or perhaps devolved) to watching Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, there was something about a detective girl, Candy Candy, Little Witch Mint, and something about the animals of the Oriental Zodiac going into fairy tales to keep them from distorting. Little Mermaid and Snow White I also watched, but not Disney versions. Rose of Versailles I think I also watched... and of course, my favourite, Kaitou Saint Tail, which the Koreans "translated" into Angel Girl Netty. Explain that one. Oh! Lulu of the Flowers! That was also a good one! Man, I watched a LOT of cartoons. It's little wonder my grades suffered.
Right before I moved to Canada, we got some American cartoons. So there was something about Moon Stone, Sun Stone and Heart Stone. And Johnny Quest. Spider Man, Captain Planet, and of course, Smurf. Those are just some off the top of my head. There are a few more that I remember snippets from, but not enough to really explain them.
