Princess Millenia (which is a prequel to the Universe of Captain Harlock)
Captain Harlock
and either Galaxy Express 999 or Queen Emeralda afterwards... both are related to the mythos, but not necessarily to the timeline. 😄

That's right. You just reminded me of more 80s anime!

- Saint Seiya
- Transformers (i think that was my first)

I forgot to mention Akira .....considered the beginning of the second wave of anime fandom!

Voltron!

Do keep in mind that certain animes series shown during the 80's were actually made in the 70's in Japan.

i love Akira!!! and Voltron

Voltron-The Lion Force!
StarBlazers--Thundercats was good.

The first film to spawn my love for Japanese animation was
The Last Unicorn--I was like 9 or 10 when that came out. Made by the same guy that did Thundercats. Takashi...God, what was his name? Anybody remember? That's gonna bug me til I remember.

Love Transformers and GI Joe, but I wouldn't categorize them as anime.

I've stumped everyone else with this one, I may as well try you guys.

In the early to mid 80's there was a show on that I have no recall of the title and no one has been able to help me out from the description.

From what I can remember it was about a guy on a spaceship who was separated from his daughter and he's on a quest to find her. I remember that apparently the girl was telepathic because he kept having visions / messages from her.

That's really all I remember except that I really liked the show and that it came on weekday mornings before school, between episodes of Voltron and Robotech. I'd always get up early just to watch them. I don't remember the exact station it was on except that it was a station out of New York.

Does any of this ring any bells for anyone?

Slayers

Saint Seiya

Project Ako
Bubblegum Crisis
Sol Bianca

Slayers
Tenchi Muyo
Ranma 1/2

The last from super robot genre Space Warriors Baldios (1980) Japan.

Lupin The 3RD which I beileve is a 70's Anime, ohwell, I beileve DragonBall Z was finished in 85 but I again am not sure when it was truly made

Hi Void,

The Cartoon/Anime is "Ulysses 31" and it was his son, the girl was an alien race that has telepathic powers all the same teaching his son to communicate with his father's mind 'Ulysses' ...

here is the INTRO, might bring you back...
in youtube /watch?v=OZ4c1X5ene8

this is the wiki info : in wikipedia /wiki/Ulysses_31

this is one of those great series that got less media attention it came out same time as Saint Seya...so you can imagine no other cartoon/anime at that time that was so addicting than Saint Seya, Speed Racer in the states, but yes Ulysses 31 also is great but less room coz all the kids where either stuck with Macross/Robotech or Transformers and G.I. Joe...and don't forget HE-MAN...LOL

Fist of the North Star
Dragon Ball Z
Ronin Warriors
Saint Seiya

Fist of the North Star!

All of that, and Lupin III.

But for clarity, when did G Gundam originally air? It was one of my two or three favorite Gundam continuities, and it seems like one of the older ones, barring the original.
