        Not a cartoon, but the only thing I can think of is that Pokemon seizure incident back in 1997.

          >pokemon already caused damage before it made it way outside of japan

          LOL seriously though, how moronic do you have to be to let bright flashing colors get pass the production stage? You would think the Nips would know better at the time.

              Hey, Dumbass McShit-For-Brains, even long before this episode was aired on Japanese television, people knew fast flashing colors = epilepsy triggering. The Nippons were still moronic for letting this slip.

        What did the Lupin III do for animation?

        • 1 year ago
          guy

          Castle of Cagliostro is what established Miyazaki as a pioneering director and the staff that would become studio Ghibli. That and it inspired Disney's animation studio to get more ambitious, leading to the Disney Renaissance.

      >no mention of Felix the Cat
      Felix is who all rubberhose characters were directly modeled after. Also, he proved that a cartoon character could be popular all in their own.

      You forgot to mention the way the japanese animation found its identity in the 70s and could finally do things that were not aimed at kids, also the rise of arthouse style japanese animation in that period. Also the huge scene of indie french animation should be mentioned somewhere

    >Watching the pig cartoon that comes after Garfield
    >Pig finds a meteorite
    >Turns it into a pendant
    >Finds out it allows him to read people's minds
    >Turns out every single one of his friends hates him
    How does the episode resolves this?
    Was the meteorite not showing him the truth?
    Was it a prank?
    Does he learn that his friends do love him?
    >No
    >He throws the meteorite into the lake and decides to live a life if ignorance
    >Not that he can, the genie is out of the bottle so now he has to spend the rest of his life pretending not to know that everyone hates him
    Thank you for a life of insecurities Jim
    Thank you for introducing the idea that everyone may hate me but just act nice around me when I was fricking 6
