Kartun’s Favourite 80′s Cartoons

I kinda reminisce about the past recently, the games I grew up playing, the shows I grew up watching and the cartoons I grew up with. I was looking at some fro You tube and started to wonder why they don’t make such stuff anymore… Haha.. I’m getting old but these cartoons have left a deep impression on my mind.

1) Thundercats
Thunder Thunder Thundercats….. I still remember coming back from school and switching on the telly at a specific time to watch this cartoon. I also remember my cousin who used to tape all the episodes and rewatched them. Absolutely fabulous. I’m still waiting for a Thundercats Movie.

2) The Real Ghostbusters
Slimer, the Marshmellow man… the song.. arghh…

3) Transformers
More than meets the eyes… I can’t believe my luck when they start showing this series recently on TV. Hehe… The old transformers.. the old Starscream…This cartoon ran for several years, it must be good..

4) Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
Has one of the most catchy songs during the 80′s. I remembered I never miss a single episode of this cartoon and was in love with that cowboy character :)

5) Alvin and the Chipmunks
A different genre of cartoon altogether. Who doesn’t love them? I can’t wait for the squekuel of the movie to come out at the end of the year :)

Famous Water-melon smashing scenes

This website has been neglected for almost 2 months. My sincere apology. So many things cropped up during these 2 months, so much so that I didn’t even get the chance to catch Dragonball evolution. Now, how busy can one get?

Some say April is the beginning of summer. I can’t agree more. The weather this week has reached a whopping 35 degree Celcius! We are all sweltering and covered with a BO that refuses to diffuse :(

Summer brings us a lot of memories, both fun and not. One of the funniest and most engaging activities that those anime characters do during the summer is water-melon smashing. Haha… And the venue is usually the beach! How apt can that be? I suppose water-melon is considered a refreshing fruit, and it does quench your thirst on a hot scorching day. But is that the reason the smash it open?

I’ve done some research and collected some fun water-melon smashing scenes for our viewing pleasure…

1) Azumanga Daioh
Done between Tomo and Kagura for several times.

2) Full Metal Panic
Between Sousuke and his classmates, but that never happened. I can’t find the picture, so I substituted it with this…

3) Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu
Hazuki has done us proud :)

4) Ranma 1/2
There are numerous water-melon smashing scenes, even a contest. However, I can’t find any pictures of them.. just his one with Ranma in a watermelon swimsuit and with some watermelons in the background :(
