So far I have only watched the first three episodes. I really liked the second episode, but not so much the first and third. They seemed to be lacking something. Maybe the creators hadn't quite nailed it, but episode 2 was great. I can already see some repeating trends. I remember the bad guy blowing up all the time. Lucille is surprisingly funny. At least Speedy didn't fall into the water again in episode three.

I like the fanclub bit at the end.

Hello all!

In truth, I forgot this show existed. Kinda different though. I didn't forget - it was like I didn't know it existed. I must have been around 4 or 5 when I first saw this show. I wasn't old enough to understand or remember anything.

The other day I was searching for old cartoon intros on youtube. I found a 30 minute amalgamation of 90s clips and sat through them, skipping the ones I didn't know. Near the end, the intro to SPC (as you guys call it) came on - and recollection hit me. I had no idea what this show was, yet I remembered things. I recognised the song, and I recognised certain screens, such as the lead character (apparently called Speedy), the gun-shaped head quarters, the villain, and oddly, the scratch claws. Afterwards, I felt something strange. Nostalgia I guess. I imagine that is what it would feel like if someone removed one of your memories. Then you see something that makes you remember, yet you still don't know what you've seen.

So I youtubed a few clips, that I suspect some of you lot are responsible for. Surprisingly, it was quite funny and refreshing. I bet I didn't get any of those jokes as a kid. I only really remembered the main character and those two moles that look up after the launch and say something silly. Oh and I remembered certain parts of the launch sequence. Anyway, one thing led to another, and now I have found this forum, donated to the Hylia database (after realising there is poor DVD release of SPC), and about to embark on a long journey. There are some other anime I'd love to check out also, but I'll credit SPC and this forum for getting me started. This community seemed so friendly and cool, I had to sign up!

Essentially, I don't remember this show at all. But I do remember loving it. A lot. So I look forward to watching it for what will feel like the first time.

One question: any other Aussies here?
