  I know here in the US, in the 80&apos;s and 90&apos;s had some show that many considered too mature or just messed up. Or the few shows that TMS Entertainment, Inc and Japanese anime companie that helped make some animated shows here in the US. Hasbro accidentally made Inhumanoids as a part of the GI Joe and Transformers joint universe, but the toys scared a lot of children, and nobody would buy them, and the short-lived cartoon is seen today as too fucked up for kids. Think of something in the realm of HP Lovecraft. 1993&apos;s Exosquad had themes that were too mature for children, and it was made in the US, and the mechs were smaller; many said the story lines were extremely close to Gundam. Also, Exosquad would become known as the show that killed off a good number of main characters. And Universal Studios is still trying to turn Exosquad into lost media since the show was made under Universal Animated Studios. <br><br>And the animated shows that TMS Entertainment tried to make here were Bionic Six, Mighty Orbots, and Galaxy High School. It&apos;s funny because Mighty Orbots got sued by Tonka, saying it resembled the Gobots too much. Tonka somehow won the case, and Mighty Orbots was canceled. Both Bionic Six and Mighty Orbots had an American production company behind them; they were made with English first. Galaxy High School was supposed to be an American version of Lum. They didn&apos;t get that Galaxy High School creator Chris Columbus, Yes that Chris Columbus- didn&apos;t know or care about Lum Anime, and made his own show using TMS Entertainment. And it worked for one season. Even though it was written and created by Americans and was originally done in English first, many in Japan still consider Galaxy High School to be Japanese Anime. Even though here in the US, we don&apos;t consider Galaxy High School to be Japanese anime. TMS Entertainment did produce and animate the show, as well as pay the Americans for their work. TMS Entertainment would later work with Canada in the 90&apos;s to make a show based on an American comic book called Cybersix.

  Area 88 had beutiful visuals and I still have a ton of the translated comics in my collection. There was a remake that was faithful to original and comics.

  Dude, your lips are on fire! 100 % Rock Solid suggestions dude! I&apos;m 55 years old, I remember watching a lot of these when they first came out I was lucky enough to live in Washington DC my Mom married a Washington DC metropolitan Police Department motorcycle cop I say that because we were able to afford cable and it&apos;s a much bigger cultural mashup than other states during those years so you could watch just about anything if you could afford it and had a subscription to Heavy Metal magazine all through High School
