1. Gotta go with Lupin...


The most funkapimpilicious theme song ever (More so than SWAT)

BTW, if they ever do a live action version of this show, Bruce Campbell would be perfect for Zenigata.

3. Tranzor Z
and his female sidekick, Aphrodite A, who had, er, two pointy, front-mounted missiles.

They did similar stuff with lines like "Oh no! Tranzor Z is running out of energy!"

4. Wow, I loved a few of them, but Kimba has to be my favorite
Kimba the White Lion was my first memory of a TV show I loved. At my grammar school, we used to go home for lunch, and my mom would make me a sandwich and soup, and I would watch Kimba The White Lion. It sounds silly now, but I get very emotional when I think about how much work my mom put into those lunches, and how much those memories mean to me now.

But I also liked Ultraman and Speed Racer.

7. Grendizer or Battle of the Planets.
I know, I know...adapted for Americans, but Japanese nonetheless.
