Oh no, I find myself listening to old cartoon theme songs !!!
...Don't help me though.
...Don't help me though.
But ok, real talk... THIS is the best one ever, right ?
(Cosmocats/ #Thundercats is close second)
The first animated show I remember falling in love with as a kid. I had the vinyl and everything
#HoeroBunbun

(so much of the popculture I consumed as a child was about abandoned/rejected/abused children...) https://twitter.com/ladyteruki/status/1127524412859801600
Sadness again :
I had so many of those toys !
SING ALONG, EVERYONE !

I have to thank @MrRainWhisper for this one !
Who remembers this ?
Kids entertainment was so bittersweet if not plain sad in the 80s/90s...
Ok I'm trying to set aside how hugely problematic some of those are in hindsight but um...
It's hard to not do the cringe with this one.

("do the cringe" : )
I used to "play" this in the schoolyard !
CHILLS.
Rui Kisugi was the original Samantha Jones.
You know how some kids would watch #CaptainTsubasa and want to play soccer ? Well, I watched this one and yeah, happened what you think happened :P
Which naturally leads us to...
Another excellent contribution from @MrRainWhisper !
Speaking of :
Sadly I didn't have plushies of those, but I had a set of toy/office supplies !
(a solid half of those theme songs have the worst lyrics... but #Diplodo is one of the worst offenders XD )
Oh the English-speaking one isn't very different !
No wonder I'm allergic to romance in fiction now... have you seen what I had to go through as a child XD
Honestly all I remember about that one is the cat.

I didn't particularly love the show, but the song !!! THE SONG !
What's with all the fat cats ? XD
I rest my case. https://twitter.com/MrRainWhisper/status/1274873222140485639
Oh I was looking for that one earlier, here it finally is :
How could I forget that she had A KOALA ?! (cc @Mila_no_tweet )
And now I'm thinking of all the magical girls we had :
(I still remember ALL the lyrics of this one
)

Woah, they had kept the Japanese name for this one !
Oh this one is, as the kids nowadays say : A BOP.
If you didn't sing the chorus everytime, you were a monster.
Ok but seriously, riddle me this Ségolène : so many Japanese animated shows that traveled to France were romcoms and magical girls and the likes... HOW DID YOU COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT JAPANESE ANIMATION WAS INHERENTLY VIOLENT ? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11ulp
So much violence.
Horribly violent.
(I'm trying to see if I find another version, because the one I remembered had excerpts from the first episode, with, granted, slightly more dramatic scenes than that)
Right, this one :
Ok I'm almost done. Just let me finish with the mother of all childhood memories :
And full circle :) Thanks for walking down memory lane with me tonight !
(one of my most cherished toys as a kid was a Thémis articulated figurine !)
