one thing about my growing appreciation for G1, i now am open to buying characters who i never even knew of as a kid. i bought all of the Japanese DVDs, headmasters, masterforce, and victory and they are awesome. my son and i love them, even though they are only in japanese with english subtitles. never even knew they existed when i was young.

I've thought about going back through and trying to watch everything that didn't air here... but I can barely get through an episode of the original US cartoon without cringing and/or dozing off. One day I'll start plowing through the comics. I didn't read them as a kid (same with Joe), but going through the Joe comics as an adult was a joy.

i think they are at least > or = the sunbow joe and transformers toons and i hold both of those in high regard. if you like the sunbow stuff i think its pretty safe youll enjoy these. a bonus is it gave my son some extra reading practice. he can already read a lot of it and hes only 5. p.s. i think the music is fucking awesome. just remember you're watching a 30 year old japanese toy commercial and you should enjoy it a bunch.

Anyone order from Captured Prey here? Especially Canadians (or anyone else from outside the US)?
Wondering if we tend to get hit by customs. TFSource, Robot Kingdom and iGear are all good with putting "gift" or whatever so we never get hit. Hoping that's the case with Captured Prey as well, since I'm seriously considering getting one or more Quakewaves through them... Quote:

i am having a tough time deciding whether the the japanese toons are more or less corny than the usa toon. I'm thinking they might be less, but then I'm wondering what corny technically means...

If you feel embarrassed when your significant other turns to stare at you with "that" look, then it is corny.

Depends on if you know Japanese or not. That's one advantage I always found to watching anime subtitled rather than dubbed... I never knew if the voice performances were awkward, forced, or otherwise terrible.
