One of the countless things they left out of Battle of the Planets: Mark and Jason ninja backstreet dustup. Watch for Mark's "Damn these white slacks!" moment. :D

The more I watch, the more I realise how much this cartoon affected my tiny forming brain. Princess was obviously the inspiration for Hora, daughter of Horus, my first ever fantastical alter ego. And I'm now pretty sure that Jason was my very first pre-adolescent TV crush. :)

Ooh, and I understood a bit of Japanese! Jinpei, in a tight spot, comes out with: "Kami-sama!" Subtitle: "Oh, God!"

LOL I think Battle of the Planets really helped to inspire my art. LOL I always had a fondness for Jason and his missile pressing button finger and his cranky attitude too.

Funny how shows like this stick with us and effect our imaginations as we grow up.

I just watched an episode where Joe goes button-pushing crazy and uses up all the missiles. His heroic stance + the "poit" sound the button makes = much hilarity. :)

LOL sounds like great fun. I really need to re watch some of those. I have very old tapes of them, which are almost unwatchable. I remember how Jason always seemed to be ready to fire those missiles, sort of like Worf and firing phasers. Maybe the two of them would have made good drinking buddies....

poor old jason was probably the one i noticed least when i was growing up; he didn't strike me as having a particular personality except for being grumpy all the time. although, even from my very vague seven-year-old's memory of the episodes, it seems there was some pretty heavy UST going on between him and mark.

Interestingly, Jun is both more kick ass, and more wet, than Princess. (Mark and Jason of course are too macho to show their feelings except by thumping each other.)

It is surprising how much early cartoons effect your world view.
