I don't recall their collars ever being that thick in the show. Incidentally, I still have my original Ultrazord.

Looper posted:Speaking of rad kiddy games, I played so much Humongous Entertainment stuff. Spy Fox, Pajama Sam, Freddie Fish, though I think this was probably my favorite. Those games kicked copious amounts of rear end. Good adventure games that didn't constantly screw you over like the Sierra classics.

Spy Fox was my personal favorite. Mostly because of all the COOL SPY GADGETS!

I would ironically use it for years and years.

The problem with Animorphs was that it went on far too long to keep its original audience, and then there were too many books for a generation of non-readers to get into.

Sombrerotron posted:The rebellious GENERATION X (or is that Y?) undertone says it all. I love the fact that the dance track makes the whole thing sound like something from the demoscene (another quintessentially '90s thing). I still don't understand if I'm supposed to be a Gen X-er or not. No wait, I just checked Wikipedia as I was typing this and apparently Generation X ends no later than 1982. So most of us are probably Generation Y.

I think DBZ and Sailor Moon were the first real "anime" animes to hit real nationwide network television though. Obviously before that you had stuff like Transformers, Voltron, etc, but those were the first ones with magical girls, BEAMS, and  POWER LEVELS

RadioactiveKid posted:I was way into Power rangers and power Rangers ripoffs like:  The tokusatsu shows used for Beetleborgs and VR Troopers are actually from the Metal Heroes line, which is fundamentally different from Sentai/Power Rangers. VR Troopers used stock footage from a few different shows, most notably from Superhuman Machine Metalder which was based on the classic Kikaider series that was briefly aired on Toonami late in its lifetime. Beetleborgs and Beetleborgs: Metallix were created from two concurrent series, Heavyshell Beetle Fighter and Beetle Fighter Kabuto, that actually were more like sentai rip-offs compared to the earlier Metal Heroes shows. Beetleborgs was forced to end when they simply ran out of stock footage to use. I really liked Beetleborgs and had quite a few of the toys.

Metal Loaf posted:I remember how, when Dragon Ball Z became a massive hit for Cartoon Network, Fox Kids decided they would try to replicate its success by showing Sailor Moon. Accordingly, their advertising tried to sell it as some sort of shonen action show. Nickelodeon did the same thing when they got Cardcaptor Sakura. Fox Kids also broadcast Vision Of Escaflowne, which in retrospect seems like kind of an odd choice. I think most people remember DBZ and Sailor moon from back when they actually aired in syndication. Problem was, as most people recall, DBZ's syndicated episodes ended right before the episode where Goku finally went Super Saiyan. So you'd get right to the climax of the Namek saga and all of a sudden here comes Raditz again. Fox Kids only aired part of Escaflowne before pulling the plug on it, which makes sense in retrospect. I think the last episode that aired ended with Van ripping open Hitomi's shirt to preform CPR.

Metal Loaf posted:The other anime series I remember seeing on Fox Kids in the 1990s was Shinzo. I can't remember very much of it, but it seemed pretty generic. There were quite a few, but most of them were nothing special. Fox Kids didn't actually really start airing anime until 2000.
