I’m getting into archiving animated media from all countries from my lifetime and a decent bit before (70s-today, animated includes claymation/stop motion/puppetry i suppose through cgi)

Like I’m currently watching lavender castle. Very enjoyable old thing.

I’m looking for weird shit you grew up on. Bonus if it’s dubbed in English but i’m willing to do subtitles to experience the weirdest shit aimed at your youth.

Video links appreciated, if available.

    I grew up exposed to French and European media. A few shows come to mind.

    Nobody’s Boy: Remi

    If you can find it, it is a powerfully emotional watch. Unfortunately I don’t know if an adequately dubbed or even subbed version is available. It is on YouTube in French but the auto translated subs are awful.

    The Mysterious Cities of Gold

    A great Franco-Japanese classic. Dubbed versions are out there.

    All of the Asterix cartoons are decent and available dubbed as well.

    Fast forward in time to the 90s and the show called Reboot is pretty solid. It was made in Canada and I heard that most Americans never heard of it. The first entirely CGI show. Someone rescued the original high def footage recently too so it should be out there.

      The Remi one was also available in Dutch, titled “alleen op de wereld”, alone in the world.

      I actually do have reboot, and vaguely recall it being on air where I lived, which wasn’t Canada but close (2hrs drive, we got their OTA signals)

      Im also familiar with asterix, i have some of the animated stuff and have played some of the games even :) good stuff, enjoyable!

      I’ll take a look for the other things, thanks :D
