My love for SPC will never die because not only do I enjoy the show, but the show represents good times in my life that I will never want to forget.

It's good to see this place is still around.

One of the things that I love about this community is that we're very loyal to the franchise, even if we may not be here much.

I am glad that a lot of you are doing well, and it's always nice to hear what you guys and gals have been up to.

I've been working out and getting back into fitness last year after being inactive since 2006. I've been having fun doing it, and I feel a lot of the benefits coming in--both physically and mentally. I'm even going for a certificate in fitness, and hope that'll help my career aspirations.

I am Colombian but I first watched the show in a Peruvian channel back in 1992. a couple of years later I found it was being broadcasted in a Colombian channel every sunday morning, I watched 3 episodes and then they just put another show... Colombian television always has sucked big time...

I really thank Peru for allowing me to watch two of my three favorite Japanimation shows ever, CatNinDen Teyandee and Saint Seiya (Although I knew them as Samurai Pizza Cats and Knights of the Zodiac)

I wonder why they only aired 3 episodes on the Colombian version...

Lol, thank goodness for alternative ways to catch these shows, huh?

For me (I'm in the UK; Northern Ireland, to be precise), it re-aired a few years after it first appeared on TV.  They had it on over the summer holidays in 1995 and I remember recording it.

You know, that's really cool that someone else had a really similar experience to mine.

LOL, I loved recording the show early in the morning while I was asleep and then watch it later after I woke up.

For me never too.

And it was sad, because in my country not so much people heard of this anime and i felt like one and only fan of SPC in Poland xd

It was so unrealistic experience when much, much later I rewatch series on my PC. Earlier SPC was just in my memory and one article from anime/manga magazine. It's funny that something I just watch once have so much impact on me.

Yeah, I understand. SPC is a show that didn't get much love on broadcast TV, and I think that's sad.

But it is nice that we're able to own the DVDs and watch the show on Youtube and Tubi TV.

2024 is off to a rather rocky start, but I just saw the new Wonka movie (Yeah, I know it's over a month old) and it was pretty great. Hopefully this year has some nice movies and such

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone!

Since the year is ending, I have to say it's an interesting year for animation.
Disney on their 100th birthday of all the times is struggling, the more I hear about Wish, the worse it sounds. The rest of this year's Disney Catalog isn't doing so hot though... Thankfully like the 80s Disney slump, others seemed to have stepped in.

Mario was pretty good, surprising for Illumination, but I'm sure Miyamoto was basically breathing down their necks during the production, making sure the studio didn't mess things up. It should be interesting to see where the inevitable sequel will go, as for other Nintendo franchises jumping to cinema, Zelda is confirmed getting a live action movie. But what else could get an animated movie? Maybe a Donkey Kong spinoff? A Kirby movie? Who knows. Not really animation related, but I think an Elite Beat Agents movie would be really good.

While I didn't see it yet, I've heard really good things about Nimona, I have to check that out soon.

There was a Trollz movie... another one, not my thing, I'm not the target audience honestly, but the detail in the trailers looked pretty good, I'm sure the target demographic would be pretty happy with it.

There was some other movie... was it some squid movie or something? I heard that did really badly financially, ouch. Shame, looked interesting, but I'm kind of afraid it might be rather middling.

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't watch the newest Ghibli movie, I did hear many have hype around it.


What about stuff to come? I hear Sony is working on a new project that sounds like it could be interesting, but Sony tends to not hit as hard honestly. Could Disney redeem themselves (Nah, I doubt it, unless Iger goes or some shake up happens, and even then it's going to be a long while, animation takes time)?

Oh yeah, Toy Story 5 is something that will happen... not sure why, Toy Story 4 had great visuals, but ended on a sour note for me, would be worth checking out just to see how Pixar's visuals look, Toy Story always tends to be a good representation of the state of CG animation, and we have come a long way since the first one.
