Now this one is a classic I hadn’t found myself thinking about until recently. Mighty Orbots was a joint production in 1984 between the US and Japan, resulting in one of the most polished, stylish and entertaining cartoons/animes I can recall.

Check out my article for a detailed and thorough retrospective!

Michael Reaves, a superstar of Saturday Morning scripting, known for his works including the Real Ghostbusters, Disney’s Gargoyles and Batman the Animated Series, wrote several adventures, the content of which reflect the writer’s unlimited imagination. Osamu Dezaki, best known for his work on Golgo 13, Black Jack, Space Adventure Cobra and the Sword for Truth, managed to fuse Japanese animation effects with traditional American cartoon wild takes, resulting in a stylish and polished appearance that could appeal to both countries. TMS, known for shows like Batman the Animated Series, Animaniacs, Ulysse 31, Sonic X and Akira, animated the series with their usual high quality, detailed skill. And finally, background music was provided by Yuji Ohno, best known for the legendary theme and score of Lupin III.
