Hello, no, don't worry i'm not a bot. I've come and gone on this forum for about 10 years and a few months ago I decided to start my own Youtube channel. I know the forum isn't as popular as it was before but if you want, i'd like you to check out my videos and give me some feedbacks or if you enjoy it, share it and sub. Thank you in advance. My channel revolves around making video essays about cartoons. My first one was about the man who voiced Homer Simpson in the french canadian version of The Simpsons and my second one that i posted yesterday is about a forgotten gem from the 90's. I hope you enjoy. Thank you.

Nice video! You ever thought about an essay on Cybersix? It was another forgotten show but it was really good to.

Holy crap ! Cybersix ! Yeah I remember it :O ! That's an awesome idea ! I have a document where ideas for possible future episodes are written and Cybersix just made the list !
Oh man, so that's a great show but be super careful about pointing anyone towards it. Like, be really specific that you're talking about the TV show and not the original comic. Solid comic, but extremely graphic violence, casual nudity, sex, sexual violence at least once that I remember, gay bashing here and there, racism here and there. Its frankly mindblowing that a fun and innocent kids show came out of that comic.

Don't worry. My channel centers primarly around cartoons unless there is a story that is really worth talking about behind it. If I dive into the comic lore and everything around it i'll end up with a 30+ minutes video and the one I just did clocked in at around 60 hours of editing and I got 10 minutes out of it :p

I don't know if I'd call the Cybersix cartoon 'innocent'. Like I'd put it at least at the level of Batman TAS, is not a little more edgy than that. I mean compared to its source material, sure its practically fluffy, but compared to other stuff at the time it was pretty dark.

It wouldn't be the first time. I mean, there was a Starship Troopers cartoon.

Kind of like finding out about the original Yugioh Manga and season 0. Of course, even original Yugioh wasn't that extreme.

I definitely remember how crap that non-season was though.

True, I just couldn't believe what I found the first time I read it. I assumed I was going to find out what happened after the show was cancelled at season 2, instead I found out the snidely looking big bad was a literal nazi war criminal and the comic relief villain was a genetic monster rapist.

I don't know if I'd call the Cybersix cartoon 'innocent'. Like I'd put it at least at the level of Batman TAS, is not a little more edgy than that. I mean compared to its source material, sure its practically fluffy, but compared to other stuff at the time it was pretty dark.
It had that whole bumbling henchmen thing with the comic relief cracking-voice child villain that had me feeling it was basically fairly innocent. When I think Batman I always go to Mask of the Phantasm which I would put as way darker personally.

What? Man, you remember wrong because it was way better than anything in Duel Monsters. I liked seeing all the different games rather than just cards, cards, cards all the time. Joey also actually did stuff rather than just be a second rate duelist.

Might be because I only really watched a couple seasons of Yu-gi-oh. I liked it but it didn't hold my interest enough to keep going after I realized that the show more or less bullshitted the game rules. Only found out about season zero because of the abridge series so I watched it mostly as a lark and was really not impressed with the animation or VA.

I didn't really watch too much of Yugioh either, stopped somewhere in the Battle City arc. I probably just watched season 0 at the right time in my life and it really blew me away that here's this Yugioh show that's really dark and violent and people are going around beating people up with yoyos and Joey's fist fighting a guy while holding a knife between his teeth (actually, I don't remember if that was in the anime or only the manga.) Anyway it was cool, like there was this whole secret aspect to Yugioh that I hadn't ever heard of.

Oooooooh right ! The Starship Troopers cartoon. Roughnecks I believe. I remember that it was airing on Teletoon in canada but for the life of me cannot remember a single thing about it except that it was in CGI.

That's not a cartoon, and I've seen that. Title is misleading.

But yeah, that was an entertaining, if rather weird, show.

The Max is an animation. It is about Julie the Jungle-Queen who created an alternative-universe in order to escape the fact she lost her virginity and was impregnated by a local witch-doctor. In this alternative-universe she is a victim of child-molestated little girl who recruits this rabbit she kept as a pet as her spirit animal that becomes "The Maxx" who fights a never-ending army various enemies including the Witch-Doctor ( Mister Gong ) who claims himself as a criminal-rapist. Via this world she is able to slay Gong and continues her life without Maxx to raise her daughter.

The ultimate truth is that she is really high and is raising the child she had through the sex with Gong. Most likely she killed Gong ( or have the idea in mind ) and does not know what to think about the whole entire ordeal. "The Maxx" summed up is one big LSD trip with somebodies mother trying to forget about happen.

It is the story of every girl who goes on her own and ends up losing their virginity, and raising a kid she had what the world wants to call "rape". During the late 1980's ( second wave feminism AKA Pro-Lesbian ) they had stupid ideas promoting "Separation of the sexes", they constantly marketed the word "rape". I mean so much material with something along the term of rape. In fact 1990's most of the actresses and female personality was in fact LGBT. Sponsored content. I remember leaving Middle-school ( Jr. High ) and all the girls I knew and continue to knew would call me "rapist".

"The Maxx" embodied the time it was made. For me as a small child watching it the first few times via the "MTV 3d spots" had no idea what I was watching all I knew it was awesome to look at. I later checked out the entire series. #@$@$ awesome, My understanding it used the Genlock and 3d systems of the later Amiga systems, that little computer hooked up to big gigantic machines.

I love the art-style, I love the usage of various art-types, I love the animation and just did not skip to being cartoony or anime like. I enjoyed every moment of it. It felt like I was watching my big-sister and I was her Maxx. That being said "The Maxx" is like if I had lived with my big sister when she moved out and spoke out against her sleeping with some random guy that got her pregnant. She said to me "I do not want to hear anything if I have a guy over". Which is the intention of most girls from the 1990's when they moved out. Insanity.

Funny thing about Julies day-job inside the fictional world. She is a social-worker. So chance is that she took up sociology, and or psychology which also referenced the marketing of "separation of the sexes" during the 1990's. Tons of women I knew who went to college for that have tons of issues with the opposite sex, tons of bs. However most of them in that very major are very approachable and unlike most theater majors would be ideal for being a home-maker....but what do I know.

Maxx is amazing in so many ways. I could go on forever. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Maxx where Julie accepts the fact she is a mother, and LSD warp between her real Jungle-world and the fictional-our-world. I would enjoy seeing the corpse of Gong in the corner, or even how Julie admitting that she was in the real world raising her wanted/unwanted child.
