Post by: Swiftman on July 26, 2005, 02:40:55 pm
dididi didi HOO HOO!

Who else remembers this awesome old show? I founda  piec eof Inspector Gadget fanart on google and it triggered a nostalgic relapse for me. Check it:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/Swiftman/gadgetanime.gif)
Is that or is that not cool?

I remember watching thsi show.... So long ago.... It was on first thing when I got off the bus after school. I just ran in the house, turned the TV on, switched to channel 13 and watched away, enraptured for the next 30 minutes. Whenever Kary was over, she did the same as me.

So, anyone else have fond memories of this awesome old show? Here're some clips to trigger some memories:

It was such a long time ago since I saw the cartoon. I always found it funny whenever the Chief blew himself up with one of those self-destructing messages.

Holy crap, that site is AWESOME! They have Transformers, Tintin, EVERYTHING! Oh, MAN! I'm getting fits here. I wanna make a topic on all of them! I loved Tintin! (everyone knows of me and transformers) I have all the Tintin books, and I remember watching the show before getting on the school bus in the morning. Damn, that show was PRIME! I'm getting orgasmic thinking about it! *shot*

I couldn't find a proper sized pic of Dr. Claw behind his chair and Madcat, so instead I made my new avatar Tintin.

I once had a paint kinda program for Windows 3.1 that had a bunch of Inspector Gadget coloring books. Man... Best show ever.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Swiftman on July 26, 2005, 06:53:55 pm
Not the best show, but it's a dang close tie between it, Darkwing Duck and TalesSpin.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 26, 2005, 06:55:29 pm
Aah, I wasn't even thinking about those! I can't believe my sister (who likes everthing I like) doesn't like TaleSpin... Man, I wish that show came on at... not 4 AM.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Swiftman on July 26, 2005, 07:03:00 pm
It's on where you are? NICE! I want Cartoon Network.... (that is what it's on, right?)

And Talespin was pure awesome... But, so Was Darkeing Duck, and Inspector Gadget. And Transformers was more awesome on top of that... Damn, those shows were great....

Cartoon Network doesn't show anything worth while except for Adult Swim. (Family Guy, Futurama, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, and sometimes Mission Hill)

Now... this fanart kicks serious ass... it tempts me into colouring O.o I should do this with old things I used to like in cartoon, but drawing then in manga style (so they look better as seen in that fanart >D ) like Bionic 6, Mask, Silver Hawks... XD
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 27, 2005, 07:45:17 am
Hey, man, just because most North American cartoons look stupid nowadays is no reason to say japnese style is better. At least American cartoons have varying styles...
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Faris on July 27, 2005, 08:22:06 am
Nothing wrong with the Japanese style though, is there? I think seeing some good old cartoons redone in anime style is a great idea. I'd like to see it.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 27, 2005, 08:28:02 am
No, there's nothing wrong with that, but there's also plenty of good in American style, because there is no American style.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Faris on July 27, 2005, 08:32:30 am
Yes, I guess so. I usually classify (swift does, anyways, and all experience of mine is based through him) That american style is like a Marvel or DC comic. It copies reality as much as possible, and has no sharp features and stuff. I don't know what he means, but I can see it.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Lazlo Falconi on July 27, 2005, 08:44:45 am
Yeah, but that's all the same. Look at cartoons. Look at the Simpsons, at Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Dexter's Lab, Doodlez, they all look different, and they all look great.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Faris on July 27, 2005, 08:48:34 am

That is really a matter of different viewpoints and stetic sense Lazlo :) I surely like Simpsoms they way they are, but for most of others, I would prefer then redisigned, specially rugrats, dunno why but those rdistorted line arts makes me feel bad, so I avoid it O.O
Also some of the coartoons Ive mentioned had a cool design like Silver Hawns, but I can picture then in my head being yet better ;)

Also to note: anime has got quite a lot of diversity, just pick things from diferent authors :) There are FAR more differences between  Gundam Wing and Pokemon character design than between Batman and X-Men :)

Dunno if you see my point, but depending on which things you compare, the results are different for both anime and cartoon ;)

But there is one thing one cant denny and this fanart shows it perfectly: When it comes to machines, anime owns everything! Just notice that any mecha series that comes from the occident (not just USA) is based off, ripped off or adapted from japanese stuff or yet had japanese guys in the team :) (Loot at battletech and Transformers).

And lastly, ocidental guys are going towards japanese style, even Marvel is messing with manga :)

Yet I think that there will always remain the cartoon stuff because of different stetic senses and viewpoints =^.^=

So, has anyone seen Dr. Claw's face? It shows why they hid it all the time on the show. >_>
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Jehuty on July 27, 2005, 01:06:24 pm
Nope. I've never seen Dr.Claw's face in the show, but I did in the movie. I don't think that really counts, though.
Title: dididdidi INSPECTOR GADGET!
Post by: Faris on July 27, 2005, 01:20:27 pm
The movie doesn't count due to extreme levels of suckiness. The cartoon is the only Gadget I count.

And Clest, I know that there are differences in anime, but I'm just saying there's more deversity in American cartoons.

Post by: Tiger on July 30, 2005, 09:25:50 pm
Whew, good thing it wasn't a suicide, Jehuty.  It would have taken you at least twice as long to come back.

I agree with Lazlo about the animation.  Both Japanese and American have many different types, but I'd say most (of course not all) Japanese art is all in one style, with variations to it, while in America there are many styles, each also with their own variations.  There are staples of anime, such as the eyes (if not in the males, 98% of the time in the females), but in America you can't find much common ground.  Not that it really matters, we each enjoy animation for many reasons, including how its drawn, and we're each entitled to our own preferences.  ...I hope.
