What was your favorite childhood anime/cartoon?

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.

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.

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.

Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

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.

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.

^ 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
