A Cartoony Trip Down Memory Lane



Watch the intro of Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs HERE.

Does anybody remember this show??? Hahaha. I had a vague memory of them when my bro and sis and I started our old skool cartoon bomb. We scanned through the old skool cartoon videos on YouTube and was hit by the nostalgia bomb so bad that I got the opening themes of most of the cartoons stuck in my head (Popples~ Pop pop pop pop~).

Remember the days before Astro? Before shows were repeated more than once in a week. Before we had channels reaching to the hundreds. The simpler times when NTV7 just started. I remember that most cartoons were usually on the weekends, starting around 8a.m. and I'd wake up early(If only I had that enthusiasm to wake up for school >_<) to watch. My bro and sis and I were reminiscing about all the old cartoons and shows we used to watch. Shows like Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Sesame Street, Power Rangers, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Conan the Adventurer, Double Dragon, Thundercats, etc.

I remembered there was a Sonic Adventures show where Robotnik had 2 henchmens. A chicken and some weird green drill robot. We were soooo young then. But then my bro showed me THIS.

Seriously, I can't really remember what happened in the story but I totally cracked up hearing the queen speak her lines. XDXDXD And I think Knuckles was here somewhere. KNUCKLES!!! My fav red echidna~

I remember when I was back in Malaysia during the summer, my bro and I were talking about all the cartoons we used to watch(some were on Astro I think). Mighty Ducks, Darkwing Duck, He-Man, X-Men, Spiderman, example of conversation:

Bro: The show with the cows!!
Me: Cows??? O__o What cows?
Bro: You know... the cowboy cows!

As it turned out, this was the show.


Me: BIKER MICE FROM MARS!!!
Bro & Sis: BIKER MICE FROM MARS!!!
Sis: I wanted to be the leader~
Me: Hey, I wanted to be the leader.
Bro: .....

And then my bro remembered something... Something that seemed soooo unbelievable that it couldn't be true... (At this point my sis was already asleep)

Bro: Do you guys remember the show with the red mask guy?
Me: ????? What red mask guy?
Bro: The red mask! He was wearing a red mask.
Me: Was it a helmet or a mask?
Bro: A mask. But it didn't cover his hair.
Me: What was the show?
Bro: ....I don't remember. But there was a group of them. But he wasn't the leader.
Me: thinking thinking thinking....
Bro: thinking thinking thinking....
Me & Bro: -_- No idea.
Bro: He also had a green coat.
Me: Was it a cape or coat? Was he a villain?(I had a vague memory of a villain with a red skull fave and possibly a green cape)
Bro: Coat. He wasn't the villain.
Me & Bro: more thinking

In the end, we still couldn't remember.

Me: Are you sure there's such a character???
Bro: YES! ...I think.
Me: Really?
Bro: Maybe?

Well, I went back to Japan and just a few days ago we started another nostalgia bomb with Gargoyles, Mummies Alive, etc. when my brother brought up the mysterious character again.

Bro: It can't be just my imagination! I think he's real...

Well, as I was clicking through the old skool cartoon vids on YouTube, I asked him to describe the character again when suddenly I noticed some guy with a red mask and hair on the starting image of one of the videos. I clicked and was filled with anticipation... then my bro reminded me about the green coat, but the guy I saw didn't have a green coat. Until I saw his fellow group members and there was this guy with a green coat and red mask!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS GRIFTER ON WILDC.A.T.S!!!!!!!


I gave the link to my brother with glee.

Bro: Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! I wasn't imagining things!!
Me: You weren't crazy!!!!!!!!!!! He does exist!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, it might not seem important to you guys but we were ecstatic beyond words. After many months of not knowing whether the mysterious red masked, green coat wearing man existed, we *cough*I*cough* finally found him. XDXDXDXD
I can't believe I forgot about this show! I used to think Zealot(the lady with swords) was awesome.

This is why some memories shouldn't be forgotten. Hehe.

And now I leave you with this, an awesome rendition of that darn old skool cartoon theme that's stuck in my head.

ちびっこ東方神起 MIROTIC~呪文~



MINI DONG BANG SHIN KI FANBOY!!!!!!!!!!!
This little cutie's name is Kousei and he's Japanese. I find it awesome that he's singing to a Korean song. Hahaha. And when he did the swaying and Changmin's screaming part... ♥AWESOME♥!!!
So cuteeeeee. Kawaiiiiiii. (OMG They start so young O___o)

On a totally unrelated note: Check Gifu, Mie, Saitama, Utsunomiya off my list of places to visit in Japan. I can't believe we all actually went all the way to MIE to eat 'maguro'(tuna) -_-; It was worth it!!!. The scenery was lovely though. And the thought "If I didn't get accepted to Tohoku University, I'd probably be living my Japan life here in Mie~" kept running through my head. The trip was fun and there are certain 'perisitiwa's that I'd probably never forget. XDXDXDXD

The Kings Are Back

The Kings/Rising Gods of the East are back in Korea!!! All I can say is "Come back to Japannnnnnnnnnn~"

The Mirotic video is AWESOME and oh how I wish Changmin didn't cut his hair... T__T
Love his hair in the video~ Love Hey!Don't Bring Me Down. The bass is sooo catchy. And YAY Changmin wrote the Korean version of Love in the Ice(although I still kinda prefer the Japanese version). And I also got Nobody by Wonder Girls stuck in my head. "I want nobody nobody but you *clap clap*" XDXD

Raya was fun. Lots of food and visiting and cooking and eating and liveliness and stuff. ^____^

Studies however are not fun. And in fact, one of my major cause of stress. T____T
