  • I do not own any of these works. These classic animes are owned by their respective creators and the promos are from Sci-Fi Channel's old Saturday Anime viewing block that I grew up with. I love old anime dubs of the 90s and in general I have great nostalgia for these shows.
    Anime promos are for Robot Carnival, Lens Man, Vampire Hunter D, Lily C.A.T., Gall Force Eternal Story, Venus Wars, 8 Man After, Demon City Shinjuku, and Record of Lodoss War.

    I grew up on Toonami but this block deserves more recognition as Toonami.

    Nostalgia overload! I miss this era where anime was still obscure and talked about in small circles at conventions and comic book shops.

    Man. Saturday Anime on Sci•Fi channel helped shaped me into the massive nerd I am today.
    I happened upon Vampire Hunter D one random Saturday afternoon in the spring while my parents were out at dinner, nice cool breeze coming in through the screen door, it's a great memory.
    I remember catching Dominion Tank Police, Iria: Zeiram the Animation, Demon City Shinjuku, and Roujin Z on that program block as well. I watched Roujin Z with a buddy and he absolutely hated it. 😄
    I remember anime just back then in the middle to late 90's. Besides growing up on Voltron and Transformers, there was:
    • Sailor Moon in the morning on USA network that would be going while I was getting ready for school.
    •DragonBall Z (pre Cartoon Network DBZ20XL) on our UPN affiliate Saturday mornings at 11 or so.
    •Transformers Headmasters weekday mornings around 6am on Sci•Fi.
    •And lastly Street Fighter II the animated movie on VHS at a local grocery store that I rented more than a few times. (I had a thing for anime Chun-Li and Cammy in that movie. 😐 I was a growing boy. 😅)
    I saw that Street Fighter movie on the shelf and was like, "Yo. This looks way better than the show on TV. Why. I must find out." and I've been watching that movie on the regular for 25 years now.
    Thanks to whomever reads my long lonely ranting. You're the best. ✌✨💯

      The nostalgia for Saturday Morning Anime is quite strong, I look back on it quite fondly too. Those were the days when you tried to draw anime style in class people assumed you were into THOSE cartoons. The ones infamously filled with scantily clad girls and gratuitous violent action. Now anime is quite mainstream, but it does lack the feel of fun silly type of 80s/90s anime. There's more variety now, but I do miss some old anime shows.

      @@FlameVisit. Oh yeah. I have a *deep* fondness for 80's/90's vintage anime. Even the dubbed stuff. I'm not a huge fan of dubs in general, but it's like "uncharted territory" with the retro stuff. Back in the day they were trying to bring stuff that was very niche to a western audience and I was absolutely enamored with the quality of the art and the stories that Japanese anime provided.
      I keep telling myself that I want to collect retro anime on VHS and Laserdisc formats, but never gave it a try. Maybe I will this year.
      I even have a fondness for openings (not just the anime intro) but the "credits"? of the studios involved.
      Anything from Bandai Visual/Sunrise/EMOTION 🗿and I get, ahem, a little emotional.

    Looking back, it's amazing these anime were allowed to air on US television, much less on Saturday mornings. Even edited, they were still pushed things to the limit. No way this would happen today on network TV.

    Its saturday morning, you crawl out of bed, you go grab your favorite cereal pour it into a bowl and try not to splash any milk on the counter.
    You walk carefully to the sofa and try not to spill any cereal.
    You turn on your favorite cartoons.
    Life is great.
