Tiny Toon Adventures, then Animaniacs.

Kinda giving away my age, but Animaniacs was right around the time I just started appreciating characters such as Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.

As a kid in the '70s, all the cartoons on Wednesday afternoons kids matinee...Vicky the Viking, Maya the Bee, Heidi, Remi, Pink Panther & Hong Kong Phooey.

Hong Kong Phooey holds a weird place in my brain. Like, I love it, but not for any good reason.

Batfink was a favorite of mine too! First time I've seen it mentioned out in the wild.

Once I turned 10: SpongeBob and the Simpsons

Before that: everything, including PokΓ©mon, GummyBears, Darkwing Duck, I am Weasel, recess… I just loved everything!

Mighty Orbots, just for the theme song alone. Now that I think about it I will have that song stuck in my head all day.

I used to be scared of Tintin for some reason, but loved to sit around watching it.

Doraemon

This is a very big franchise in Asia but rarely mentioned in the west, so let me introduce it to (most of) you :>

Doraemon is a robot cat from the 22nd century who has gone back in time to help a kid named Nobita. He has a lot of wacky gadgets to offer. Each episode is basically a story about one of these gadgets. They also pump out a new movie every year.

Ninja Hattori is big in Asia but unknown in the rest of the world as well right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I don't know about that. The authors of Ninja Hattori and Doraemon shared the same pen name though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Doraemon is incredibly popular in Spain, to the point that basically everyone no matter the age knows at least the premise and the main characters. It baffled me when I found out that it was largely unknown in other western countries.

Edit: I just remembered Shinchan, another anime that is huge in Spain but not very popular elsewhere.
