What are some good 80's toons? I downloaded a whole bunch of complete series, so far:
G.I. Joe: bad quips but god tier action and music. Never dull.
Visionaries: terrible quips, but decent action and awesome setting.
ThunderCats: Lion-O is autistic but the action is ok, Cheetarah is hawt and the music is awesome.
He-Man: near-unwatchably bad, but great setting, great-looking characters and music.
Teddy Ruxpin: jesus christ this first ep is boring and bad, I remembered it being awesome though.

Others I have ready but haven't checked yet: Ulysses 31, Silverhawks, M.A.S.K., D&D, Gummi Bears, Dino-Riders, Defenders of the Earth, Centurions, COPS - what's my best bet of finding a bingeable cartoon among these? Any others you remember?

honorable mention to the reboots of He-Man and Thundercats which are pretty damn good.

Forgot Transformers: We can fly in robot form but let's transform into cars lol, it was ok though hard to take Optimus Prime in the water seriously in the first ep, just fly out dude.

Ulysses 31 is IMO the best of those you listed and haven't yet seen (episode where Yumi becomes a hot teenager for a brief period had a 'strange effect' on me as a kid...), I'd have to say Dungeons and Dragons as well out of pure nostalgia.

GI Joe actually isn't too bad as long as you can ignore the fact that people constantly shoot lasers and missiles at each other and nothing happens. They sort of fixed that later on when they introduced those robot Cobra guys.

Transformers is pretty awful. I can't remember a reason why the Autobots had to turn into cars instead of flying, other than to separate the characters with "bad guys fly, good guys don't."

He-Man is objectively the shittiest, laziest cartoon ever.

As far as non-violent shit, Garfield and Muppet Babies.

Bionic 6

It was an American cartoon directed by anime legend Osamu Dezaki (Ashita no Joe, Space adventure Cobra, Golgo 13, and Lupin).

Even though it was based on the bionic man, it had more of a far fantastic 4 feel to it.

Probably one of the better animated openings from anything in the 80s.

I loved the shit out of this one.
>>
>>71411282

Yea the opening song is dogshit, but that was common at the time. A lot of 80's cartoon intros literally just had lyrics where they just listed character names, and then "fighting the evil forces of ______". Repeat for every single show.
>>
>>71411432
true for some, but the ones I've check so far have fucking epic opening songs

GI JOE, Thundercats, Heman, Visionaries, MASK, Gummi Bears just to name a few

>>71411341
can't help you man I fucking hated CN/Nick and regard them as responsible for the death of cartoons with that cheap shit flash-shockwave "drawing style"
>>
>>71411511
>MASK

Mask is the worst offender for doing that though.THey literally just listed the characters and their powers/roles:

>Trakker's Gonna Lead The Mission,
>And Spectrum's Got Such Super Vision!
>M-M-M-Mask!
>Always Riding Hot On V.E.N.O.M.'s Trail!

Trakker was indeed the leader of the Mask team, and the character spectrum had enhanced vision in his mask. The badguy organization was called V.E.N.O.M.

Still fun though. As kids we didn't know any better.

Animated in Japan. If you're watching a show from the 80s or early 90s and it looks good it was almost certainly animated in Japan.

I think this is the first time I've seen people bring up 80s shows for the purpose of actually watching them. It seems like there's virtually zero interest in revisiting them.

the 2002 version has the same problem most action cartoons did, which is that it couldnt kill anyone off or even have them be seriously injured, so the fights felt empty and pointless because you knew there was nothing at stake. other than that it was okay, but like its predecessor it was obviously just a vehicle to sell toys and never tried hard to rise above that
