When you were little, did you have one show that you just loved more than all of the others? Kind of like you probably have a favorite now, only you had a different one when you were little?

I ask because my childhood was pretty much spent worshipping Cardcaptor Sakura. I cosplayed as her, I cut my own hair to look like hers [and did a TERRIBLE job and my mom had to fix it] and wore it in those little pigtails with beads like she did, and I ran around with the wand my mom and I made for my cosplay and used it on Pokemon cards like they were Clow Cards.

I know. I was awesome. No need to be jealous.

The point is, just as my favorite anime now is FMA:B all hands get the hell down because you are not worthy of the air, when I was little CCS was the absolute ****.

So I thought I'd ask: did any of you have a similar obsession that dominated your youth? I mean obviously we all watched a ton of shows and probably played a lot of games and had a lot of things we obsessed over, but I definitely had a favorite.

I watched a lot of crap, the one thing I'm not ashamed of is Yu Yu Hakusho, since that wasn't actually terribad.

Of course you watched a lot of crap. I think watching and liking crap is a staple of childhood.

Captain Planet

Samurai Pizza Cats. Second would be the three Sonic series.(Adventures of, Satam, Underground)

Probably Dragonball Z. **** was tight.

The Simpsons

Yeah, I was allowed to watch it as a child. How did you think I turned out the way I am now?

As far as cartoons meant for children, Animaniacs was definitely a big one.

It played in the kids' cartoon block on my local Fox station.

Thank you for reminding me of Animaniacs.

Animaniacs is beautiful.

I liked it a lot as a kid but I'm pretty sure I like it about 8 billion times more now that I get everything, including all of the crap they got past the radar. And boy is there plenty.

how did this get in a cartoon

Out of every cartoon I've watched as a kid, I think my absolute favourite was Ed, Edd, N Eddy. I watched every episode whenever it was on, even if I've already seen it a thousand times before.

God how I miss it.

Pokemon, Digimon and Dragon Ball Z.

oh and Batman. Kinda surprised that hasn't been mentioned.

Animaniacs was my favorite as a kid, for sure. That show is the best (notice the present tense on that one). Basically any Spielberg-produced WB-Kids show was the best--Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Freakazoid. Love 'em.

Looking at that video and knowing that Wakko's voice was based on Ringo Starr's makes the character even better.

Oh man, I watched a lot.

Samurai Jack

Batman: The Animated Series

Batman Beyond

Superman: The Animated Series

Pokemon

Dragon Ball Z

Tenchi Muyo

I watched some Gundam stuff

Dexter's Laboratory

And Spongebob before...the change came.

I watched Sonic X a lot..though it wasn't that great, in retrospect. Chris Thorndyke..ugh.

^ Ahahahaha I loved Sonic X too, but that was mainly because my sister and I were ob-SESSED with the Sonic Adventure games, and that's what the plot of that series was.

Even when we loved the show we had the sense to hate Chris though lawl
