I loved Star Blazers as a kid. I remember watching it in the afternoons. So when I saw it on Netflix, I borrowed the first disc to share with my kids.
We just watched the first part. I’m still trying to decide whether to cry with nostalgia, laugh at the horrible hokey-ness, or wander away bored.
Some things don’t age well.
I wandered away bored.
I actually stopped like 5 minutes into disc one. It just hurt my eyes and soul to watch it…
Some things should never be re-watched… This is why I don’t seek old Transformers cartoon episodes, or thundercats/silver hawks…
Or old GI Joe.
I know they would let me down, and not be nearly as cool as they once were…
One of the few things that is nearly as good as I remember it is Animaniacs. I suspect most of the rest of the things I used to watch would be horrible if I saw it now.
