Not being a big TV viewer, I have little to contribute here but I have seen many of the most obvious ones, at one time or another, and enjoyed them to varying degrees:
* Avatar: The Last Airbender (I haven't contributed to the other thread because I can't remember enough but, yes, I watched this when it first came out in Australia many years ago and really enjoyed it the times I saw it. In fact, when I first heard that there was to be a movie released called 'Avatar', I thought it was going to be based on the TV series and got rather excited! )
* Robotech
* Pokemon (sad to say, I have even had to play this of late...I stood firm against my sons' obsessions with it all for lots of years but am folding with my daughter's and have even battled with her this week!!!!)
* Digimon
* Yu-Gi-Oh (am still to learn the card game though)
* Dragonball, Drabgonball Z etc
* Astro Boy (loved it growing up!)
* Kimba the White Lion (loved this as a child also!)
* The Mysterious Cities of Gold (as above!)
* Deltora Quest (have bought all available DVDs as I loved the fantasy series of the same name that was written by Emily Rodda)
A paltry list, and all targeted to kids, but there you have it.
I have no qualms viewing anime as an adult though, just as I don't mind admitting to thoroughly enjoying novels targeted to children or youths - a good story is a good story no matter where it is found or what format it is told in.
