Title: Best robo anime series
Post by: Sean W on January 03, 2004, 11:02:23 PM
If anyone can remember this cartoon series witch stared  such robots as a baseball equiped robot and a hockey type. Another was my favorite one called Jammerz I believe ha had a retractable arm. I think it aired on Fox. It was not Japanese influenced and had some comic mischief to it. Oh and all of them wore rollerblades big clue there. Thanks for anything you can help with.

i remember this one, they were all sport based robots, and had say an tennis raquet for an arm and what not, but the name completely escapes me.  I didn't think it was that great though...

Then it wasn't ANIME.  It was ANIMATED.

As an Anime fan, I have to object to the improper use of the word.  Although it is a more generic word in Japanese, in english usage, Anime refers specifically to animated programs (be they for TV, movies, or original video release) produced in Japan.  Things like Cowboy Bebop, Innu Yasha, Ranma 1/2, Record of Lodoss War, and the ever-annoying Dragonball series.  But while I'm here...

[RANT/]Give me a break.  A cartoon about robots, that was not made in Japan, that was GOOD?  I ain't buyin' it.  Most American cartoons (although there have been a few exceptions - like The Simpsons) are horrible - poor plotting at best, painful animation, and even more painful character developement (or, rather, a lack thereof...).[/RANT]

Sorry.  Don't know what came over me...
