Great childhood memory

BraveStarr is not quite one of my favourites now, but as a kid it was my personal favourite of Filmmation's efforts. However, I do like it a lot For its time with the aforementioned episode with the boy dying of an overdose BraveStarr was quite bold, especially seeing as it was an animated show. The animation is more than reasonable, it isn't the animation that you go wow over as there is the odd flat character design, but I did love the ethereal-looking backgrounds, colours and visual effects. The incidental music is good, likewise with the theme tune, which is easy to remember and intriguing. The story lines are well paced and fun, complete with pretty strong writing and good characters(both good and evil), while the voice acting is top notch. In conclusion, a great childhood memory. 9/10 Bethany Cox
