the interesting thing about exosquad, is that the premise is basically the same as battlestar galactia; humanity creates a genetically engineered slave-race, which rebels against them. then, after 50 years of peace the neosapiens launch a surprise attack & conquer the human homeworlds, leaving only a few warships free to try to retake them.
how can you not love a kid's show about post-slavery racism & resentment, which opens up with a 5-parter titled 'The Fall of the Human Empire'?

Oh yeah, I just remembered another one - STARBLAZERS (AKA Space Battleship Yamato) This was literally my first experience with anime, and I absolutely loved it. The problem was that where I lived, this was not a regular occurrence, because the local stations only had a few episodes, so I only got to see like the first 4 episodes of the series over and over. I still have yet to see the entire series, and I will be setting about trying to do that now.
But my little 10 year old mind was blown by this cartoon, and I have loved anime ever since, even though I didn't know it was anime at the time.

Oh I tried watching it, believe me. But at the time it showed, it was on S4C, which was a Welsh/English channel, and because I lived in Ireland, we didn't get the best of signals (It was the kind of set-up where if you looked at the aerial box in a strange way the signal would go). So the rare occasions when I could watch it, the picture was so bad I often wondered if they were in a permanent blizzard (It was also on Saturday mornings which meant I had be to up at the rugby or the football club, so that just really cut down on what I could watch).

Yeah, I'm old.

I watched the first episode of Johnny Quest on its original broadcast in 1964.
