Teknoman

There are a few cartoons I hold very near and dear. The Real Ghostbusters takes the cake, Batman: The Animated Series would come next, and while people tend to look back on the '90's as being the decade that gave us other gems like X-Men, Spiderman and Batman: The Animated Series, there is one show that really struck a chord with me and I finally got my hands on the entire run last night when I visited my local second hand dealer (I get most of my DVD's and CD's second hand... I'm a writer). The show is/was Teknoman.



Now, I'm not, and never have been a big anime person. I dug Samurai Pizza Cats and loved Neon Genesis Evangelion, but a lot of anime is just excrutiating for me to get through sometimes. I loved Ghost in the Shell, until the TV series came around... anyway, point is, this is the first "proper" anime I got into (Samurai Pizza Cats was one of those things that was so horrendously recut for Western audiences that it seems to be completely separate from the original show, it's also largely kids fare, and outside of the animation style, anime cliches or recognisable traits... so I don't count it). I haven't really sat down to watch it yet, but I'm stoked and can't wait to this weekend!
