i loved shows like this they were great ahhh i love bein a 90's kid :) but i gotta admit recently cartoons have been improving they've been good in their own way =] for example adventure time and regular show =D
i watched this show as a kid and remember that it was better than any chartoon on the air to this day some of the ones they make now is like 10 year olds smoking some crack or something and imagning all of this
Reflects the good old American Nationalism and Sci-Fi classics. But I have to say, starting to watch this after Astroboy, I can definately see the corrolaries. But I am at least happy that Astroboy lives up to its success to the American public--with the appropriate translations and all.
@tripdefect87 I know... I was like, "Dr. Tenma is a BAD GUY?!" LOL. Nick Cage wouldn't have known otherwise, but then again I think he weighed the worth more than the infamy among Astrofans. He gets paid anyways.
This is probably my favorite adaptation of any Frank Miller work. It's not only clever and fun but on some different levels. For example, you might not have noticed it but Big Guy's dialogue is in fact a satirical comment on old "American first"/wholesome type heroes. But that's ok because it's presented in such a way that you can laugh at either.
@tokinblckgie It seems that they're starting to come out of their funk. I mean, Sym-Bionic Titan's solid. So will Young Justice from what I've seen. Ben 10 and Generator Rex have their own quirky charm.
But the volume ain't there though. Tha'ts just a couple shows and they're all on Cartoon Network. Nickelodeon used to be a heavy hitter with cartoons. And Disney Channel too. But now they stick everything on their "Toon" channels, but not everyone gets those.
I remember I used to watch this on Fox kids when i was younger.. every day after School.. Then one day it didnt' come on anymore.. no re-runs,, no nothing.. Wonder what every happened.
Big Guy was created in 1959 by some comic book company. The whole point of the Big Guy was to be a humanoid tank that would fight the atrocities of the Cold War, specifically those from Soviet Russia.
Later would come Gigantor from Japan in 1963, and people to this day say that Gigantor was the first, but Big Guy was.
In my opinion, Big Guy looks and performs the best too.
It was shows like this that marked the end of an era in my opinion. Creativity with Saturday morning cartoons started going down the tubes not long after this. I consider myself lucky to have been born just early enough to have been able to watch, remember, and still enjoy the cartoons of my childhood. I would be very surprised if there are any cartoons anymore that a child would want to watch again ten to fifteen years later. That is the age we live in. SAD DAYS!
@darkcodemonkey And whatever happened to Saturday morning cartoons? All I ever see now is incredibly sucktacular, and all the watchable stuff is a day late.
"No Not-Of-This-Earth, Surgical-Probe-Weilding Invader's gonna deprive this planet's children and their growing bones of even ONE glass of wholesome milk!"
omg!!! i used to watch this every day after school in 2nd grade lol....cartoons these days suck....i feel bad for the new generation...kids born in 2000s
daaaang this was made in 1999 and the guy who plays dr. donavan now plays bill from king of the hill and the guy who plays rusty is bobby from king of the hill too.....that is sooo lame! they were great here and bam then they went to play characters in lame a** king of the hill.
i remember seeing this on fox, this, digimon, batman TAS, medabots and transformers RID were the best cartoons that i saw when i was younger. Where did all the creativity go now.I mean live shows on cartoon network, nickeolden dont have no cartoons, diseny has hanna momtana all over it, and kids wb became the CW for kids WTF is going on these days.
honestly that dwayne guy,and all the other military,guys are idiots,they bust thier asss of for a chocolate coin!,scratch that,evryone in the shows a moron
man i remember this show i was 5 when it first aired found this one by stumbling onto it was trying to find the show with the brothers that got turned into sharks but hey this is just as good
Indeed, Chosenviper, search on the internet some, the issues were giant sized, to keep with the old school 50's feel, artwork was chisled and gorey as hell. Lot's of shell casings, falling buildings, and open wounds from what I remember =) I may post a pic of the cover Nov1 on my Flickr if you don't find info.
God I forgot what a great series this was. I really wish this series exploded in popularity. Its so well written and animated. But this was from a by gone era of the Saturday Morning Cartoon Block. How I will miss it. Now most kids cartoons are so poorly written and animated. Unless its on cable, its usually junk...
