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?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

Fast Scola, with the dates! I do know that Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers were StY's entry into anime, and ultimately he hooked H and me, too.
