I absolutely loved Swat Kats. This is the last place I'd ever expect someone referencing it.
Because of the furry hate? I remember loving the show as a kid yet I could hardly remember the title for it at the time.

Actually didn't think of that as a reason at all, lol. I'm in the exact same boat, right down to actually buying Swat Kats for SNES.

Just figured the topics on here were limited to post/late 90's stuff, sexual/political rights chat, or Fire Emblem discussions flame wars.

Ughh, playing Kingdom Hearts DDD, got near the end of the game. It's very fun, the graphics and music are great, but ughhh.
They should change the name to Teenybopper Angst Heroes: Friendship Magic.

This is my first KH game, and the characters and plot are unbearable. One of the very worst stories I've ever seen in a game. It's almost as bad as Sonic Adventure 2 (referring to the story (I like SA2)).

The main character should've been Spellican, and Spellican should be in SSB4.

Well, most of us were too young to really appreciate most of the things in the 90's for what they were. However, that's where the Internet comes in. We're now able to really appreciate all the work they did back then. It seems that while you still have people doing things for the art, it feels like people were more willing to take risks back then, be more indepth with the works they made.

But everything changed when the economy turned to sewage waste. Nowadays, people have to play it safe, and this includes things like making new works of art to appeal to as large of an audience as possible, but sacrificing the quality of it in the process. I don't know when. I don't know how, but I know someday starting right now, things will get better.

At least the Animation Age Ghetto is finally starting to weaken. I think if our generation really starts taking over the animation industry, things should change a lot. We need more things like Korra, Regular Show, Adventure Time, and MLP (I'm serious).

That's your first KH game?
You must be confused as all hell.

Start from the first KH, then watch the exclusive content in KH Final Mix, then watch KH: Chain of Memories, then KH II, then watch the exclusive content in KH II Final Mix, then KH: Re Chain of Memories (optional), then KH: 358/2 Days, then KH: Birth by Sleep, then the exclusive content in KH: Birth by Sleep Final Mix, then KH: Re: Coded.

I'd be up for seeing Spellican in SSB4.

Back on the nostalgia topic, has anyone bothered to listen to music from outside their childhood time period (meaning the 90's for the most of us)? For a long time, I was addicted to the 80's XM station and I think a lot of it beats what's popular on the radio today.

Meanwhile, I'm listening to a 90's rock/metal station and first song is Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood. Seriously, I must have been under a rock all this time.

I do agree with you for the most part Kuma, but I strongly detest the latter half of those 'exceptional' cartoons you listed. I'd even lump Korra in there to a point, but the sum of the whole prevents me from doing so (okay I'm a little biased 'cause I love Avatar's setting, lol). Most cartoons nowadays buy into how short-sighted and scatterbrained this generation can be. It's like there's little room for anything particularly meaningful or nuanced; it's mostly memetic and superficial. All I see is just a string of obnoxious events that are somehow tied into a narrative.

This is just my opinion, mind you.

@ 90's nostalgia:

Dudes and dudettes, I listen to Boyz 2 Men, Ace of Base, Chumbawumba, Smashmouth, and other random 90's bands on a daily basis. Believe me, I knoowwwwww. Haha.

Anything's better than ****ing Problem Solvers. That show sucked so much. :glare:

And that's all I'll say on the matter.

Fine, then we need more shows like Symbiotic Titan, Young Justice, and Thundercats without getting canceled.

This still goes back to a sentiment I made a while back. We're living in a time where junk food entertainment rules instead of being an option.

It's not even the fact that I don't know what's going on with the plot (which I don't), the dialogue is awful, the voices are awful, and the characters are awful, and I don't need to know what's going on in the plot to recognize that.

it takes itself super seriously and is super preechy, giving incredibly trite and juvenile speeches about friendship and whatnot.

- Let me reiterate that I still think it's a great game. The gameplay, graphics, music, and overall production value overshadow that aspect, which is why I played through it and enjoyed it.

Also, Meow Wow and Spellican are the best.

My parents listened to alot of 60's, 70's, 80's stuff. So I was exposed to it and love it. Also I like quite a few bands and such from the 90's but.. its hard to list when I like so much music.

Honestly, Cartoon Network just needs to bring old shows back more often than Fridays at 8 o'clock. Play them in the regular schedule, not 4 at once for one hour a week.

@KingofPhantoms: At least that show had tolerable designs. Just look at Problem Solvers. It looks like an ***-fest.

I'll bet 10$ that the people who animate that show are drunk while working on the animation.

Hey it doesn't matter how well the quality is, anything can make a profit if you squeeze in enough poorly executed le memes and edge. In a business, that's all that matters. Making a profit, not actually being enticing or whimsical.

What happened to Young Justice was a ****ing travesty. I'm salty over that ****, and I 1) don't even like DC all that much (though stuff like Young Justice, Man of Steel, and Justice League is making me branch out a bit, because Marvel comics are fast becoming a joke), 2) didn't even watch the show when it aired three years ago, and 3) don't even watch T.V. all that much.

Yeah, I agree with you on some parts.
The "hearts, friends, darkness," stuff gets tiresome sometimes, but I don't mind it too much.
Sora sounds too young for his age in the first game. He's 14 years old, but he sounds like he's 9 or 10.

There's also the Kingdom Hearts fanbase...

I still think Kingdom Hearts is one of my top favorite game series, despite its flaws.

And yeah, I love the music and gameplay. And the interesting combination of Disney characters, Square characters, and original characters exclusive to the series.

Yea, alright.
I really like the game despite my thoughts of the characters, so there's no need to get all defensive, like I said it's a great game.

I just hate the characters and dialogue, my ignorance of the plot is entirely irrelevant to that.
