8 More Awesomely Obscure Cartoons of the 80s and 90s

What makes an awesome obscure cartoon, awesome? Dope theme song? Check. Three-fourths of the budget blown on opening animation? Check. Obscene toy line with ads interrupting my favorite comics (Jean Grey ’bout to die for the first of six times, then boom! Wack ass toy ad.)? Check.

Let’s get into 8 more dope ‘toons from my childhood (that Michael Bay better keep his grubby hands off of). [title type=”h4″]Gigantor[/title]

The theme song is off the chain, with that bass line?!?! It was hot, like hair metal pyrotechnics hot. The little homie empowered with defending his city with the god-body RC controller. Epic. Had me trying to do the most with a TV remote and a Dragonzord (with no batteries). Poseidon himself wants to get on the wave of this mid-90s reboot to the 1964 classic anime/manga.
