Yeah, she was something or other. Anyway, she's in his veins now. Maybe that's why he's all ug-o now. Haggar is a helluva drug.

So what did he do? Grind up her dry old bones and snort it?

Is this show from a European animation studio? It seems like anything from out of there lately (see france) looks like ass.

That's a fucking shame. Remember Cyber Six? Stupid title. Gorgeous European animation.

Or was it? Didn't the comic originate in Brazil? Maybe it's South American animation.

...nah.

I could Wiki it and find out, but then what would be the point of posting on message boards, ever?

I have no idea what "NOA" is or where it's based but it was animated by them and Tokyo Movie Shinsa.

Also the comic is Argentine. And the creators are dead. One in 08, the other barely died a month ago. joerammstein, you depress me so. Did you Time Cop your way back a month ago and ice him? I think you did.

Artist Carlos Meglia Passes Away
RIP Carlos Trillo. Why, his picture on The Beat was so depressed, it too passed away.

The comic is Argentinian, but the production company was Canadian and the animation was done in Japan.

joe · « **Reply #36 on:** Jun 04, 2011, 11:14:32 PM »

Obviously they treated the Japanese animators like actual human beings, because that show was exquisite.

I never got to see past one of the early episodes. I think that show might've been pulled where I'm at before the entire thing could even run.

joe · « **Reply #38 on:** Jun 05, 2011, 09:24:34 PM »

Yeah, it was all over Teletoon, which is kind of like our bizarro Cartoon Network. I'm pretty sure it came on every day for months, and seeing as there weren't many episodes, it was an easy thing to see all of them.

Then Fox picked it up for Saturday mornings but pulled it after only a few episodes or something like that.

I wouldn't mind getting a hold of the original comic in English.

Well, since it was a Canada thing--Brian Drummond, ho!--they pretty much run their shit in the ground, right? Over here it was all, "fuck Canada and fuck that Escaflowne shit, too!" and then they yankins.

I think Disney XD was running Cyber Six awhile back. If I am thinking of the right show. Red head cat girl, talking specter ball thingy voiced by Odo, kinda a retelling of King Arthur?

joe · « **Reply #41 on:** Jun 06, 2011, 02:27:26 PM »

Whoops. It should be Cybersix, one word.

You're thinking of Xyber 9. Maybe. I never watched that one.

Rama · « **Reply #42 on:** Jun 06, 2011, 03:01:43 PM »

Oh yeah. That's right. My mistake.

B E C K · « **Reply #43 on:** Jun 07, 2011, 11:12:05 PM »

Yeah, I was gonna say that didn't sound at all like Cybersix. Imagine if they combined: Xybersix 9. Sounds too hot for TV!

Rama · « **Reply #44 on:** Jun 08, 2011, 12:04:57 AM »

At least I didn't confuse it with Bionic Six.

joe · « **Reply #45 on:** Jun 08, 2011, 02:37:57 AM »

'80s cartoons all had such spectacular intros. The actual episodes never stood a chance.

Fiero · « **Reply #46 on:** Jun 08, 2011, 08:08:38 PM »

How do they have a black kid?

B E C K · « **Reply #47 on:** Jun 09, 2011, 12:18:45 AM »

He was adopted by Voltron and Madonna.

joe · « **Reply #48 on:** Jun 09, 2011, 01:30:41 AM »

There's an Asian kid in there, too.

I get a Planeteers vibe off them.

Fiero · « **Reply #49 on:** Jun 09, 2011, 10:24:07 AM »

But they're a family!

Rama · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 09, 2011, 11:20:34 AM »

And if the Planeteers where family then Wheeler could have never fucked Linka. And you know he tapped that.

joe · « **Reply #51 on:** Jun 09, 2011, 12:41:33 PM »

Nah, man. Wheeler was taking it from the Captain.

They all were, unfortunately.

Watching this at the Nicktoons website and it's not the biggest pile of crap ever but it's still leagues, leagues behind what it potentially could have been. That animation looks awful, the CG looks cheap cheap cheap. Please invest in the damn animation at least. Also, I think the cadets take up too much of the story.

The show is shit. Better luck next reboot World Events.

Rama · « **Reply #55 on:** Jun 21, 2011, 01:47:11 AM »

Hmmmmm it seems that Classic Media (who are behind this Voltron return) also have the right to Masters of the Universe, and there are rumblings of looking at bringing that back. And I guess Mattel also has some big announcements for the future of MOTU at SDCC.

If this pans out the way it looks to be pointing I hope it turns out better then Voltron. If it is just NOT on Nicktoons that would be at least one step in the right direction.

"Hey, we rebooted this before, right?"
"Yeah, but we didn't fuck it up that time!"
"You're right! We better fix that!"

Funny you should mention SDCC. I'm going this year for free! With free hotel! How did I pull this off you didn't ask? I pounde...just kidding!

It wasn't me who pounded some chick who works with the twilight franchise, it was my friend!

That's right we're unionized now.

Oh it got fucked up, but it wasn't on the TV show end. It was on the toy front, and of course with no toys to sell Mattel stopped paying for a pretty decent show.

It was a damn good show. I actually enjoyed it. I can't watch 80s MOTU at all. It just makes me want to break my skull and rip my eyes and ear drums out.
