Battle of the Planets would have been much later, right?
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
OK. A quick google tells me it's Kimba, not Simba. And reminds me of Astro Boy.
Gigantor.
That too, thanks.
Battleship/star something? The one with Voltar/tron?
Leave it to a mom of boys to know. heh. Voltron: Defender of the Universe?

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Matt and Tom got it in one--or, two. The ones I was remembering were Battle of the Planets and Starblazers. But Astro Boy was even earlier than Speed Racer, wasn't it?
Voltron must have been later. (grins at Burrell) and yes, I can hear the space-battle vocal noises, still.
