Yesterday Chris and I got into this chat about old Japanese cartoons (hence the Orion Quest), and while I was unsuccessful locating the morose ending credit sequence of Spaceketeers for him on YouTube, I’m grateful to someone for posting the US opening of Honey Honey, which at least has the same theme song that used to mesmerize me Sunday mornings on CBN. I used to love that synthesized harp—what am I saying, I still do—and there was an innocence to the show that appealed to me, even back then, while everyone else was being seduced by うろつき童子 and 魔界都市新宿. All that tentacle sex ever did was produce a generation of closeted masturbators; Josie & the Pussycats made me want to get out and see the world!
