Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Life is too short to read articles on crappy science I say!

I have a quick hivemind question. My student is writing about anime. My butt tells me that Simba the White Lion and Speed Racer were both anime series. Were there earlier anime series on American tv?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Battleship/star something? The one with Voltar/tron? I know there were contemporary series with Speed Racer.

Battle of the Planets would have been much later, right?

Starblazers wasn't until the 1970s. The other three were from the 60s.

OK. A quick google tells me it's Kimba, not Simba. And reminds me of Astro Boy.

That too, thanks.

Art Crawl!!!

I loved Kimba the White Lion - used to watch it everyday after school. Also: Astro Boy, Marine Boy and Prince Planet. And Fury, King of the Mustangs.
