This is really a plead for help. Listed here are some of the things that I wonder about cartoons (mostly Japanese anime). If you know any of the following, please do let me know.
There are English, Cantonese phonetics, Japanese, as well as Japanese-invented names in this document. So, just skip what you can't read.
- The Japanese names of these anime, which were broadcasted in Hong Kong--
- Shuet ling piu ling (TVB, shojo anime, about a girl escaping the Nazi, with a wonderful theme song about the Alps)
- hung fa hup ying (TVB, set just before the French revolution, about a female swordsman who only came out masked at midnight to help people)
- tai hung sam gim hup (ATV, space adventure of 3 personificated characters: a frog, a dog? and a giraffe?)
- yuen fei (ATV, a ninja + secondary school student who looked like a ball)
- fay ngao ngao bow see (TVB, really hilarious, main characters were a cow and a tortoise) Actually, is it a Japanese production?
- ngun hall lid fung (ATV, mecha united from 5 racers)
- nam gua jau (ATV, about a short guy and a tall girl)
- The following are featured at Pazu's kidsongs:
- lui liu ching gau deui
- din tsi sun tung (TVB, about a guy who plays video games really well)
- Q tai long (TVB, Q tarou?)
- Dai hau mui (ATV?)
- yunn jie siu ling jing (TVB, a bunch of ninja kids, plus a ninja dog who liked to eat fishballs; ninja hattori kun?)
- sun kay siu ji (ATV, P??man?)
- jing ling chiu lui mo (TVB, a vampire family? main character was the daughter)
- guai mud siu wong tsi (TVB, Kai mono kun?, yet another a family of vampires, Frankenstein and, etc)
- tim tim siu gung jue (the daughter of some Japanese warlord during Bakumatsu, no violence, nothing to do w/ Rurouni Kenshin; the warlord's castle was called tim lard sing (sweet and spicy castle), and its symbol was three fishballs pinned together w/ a long toothpick)
- kau ji kay yue gei (TVB, educational programme in the form of a creature bringing a girl to different places in each episode; creature looks like a dinosaur; girl is a real world actress)
- siu dull dang (TVB, similar to above, creature has her `hands' extended from her hair)
- gum gong tsin sun (Lion Voltron, 5 lions -> robot)
- gei garp larm deui (Vehicle Voltron, 5 planes, 5 ships and 5 cars -> robot)
- What is the Chinese name of these anime?
- Ga Keen (magneto-robot, 2 robots merged into 1, the two pilots were one male one female)
- Gatchaman--is it sun yung fei ying hub, or something else?
- Is the Lion Voltron a Japanese or French production?
- There was this French animation about the history of human civilization, in which there was a character with white hair covering his entire body--what is the name of this piece?
- Whether these mecha anime, as well as the ones listed above, are still available somehow nowadays--
- Uchyu taitei God Sigma (3 robots merged into 1, the 3 are for air, sea and land respectively)
- Daimos (pilot drove a car, car went into the back of a lorry, then lorry transformed into robot)
- God Mars (6 sun hub tigh, 6 robots into 1, pilot called `gei yunn!', and Gei Yunn appeared, sucked pilot into chest, Gei Yunn goes into robot number 2, which formed the body; robots 3 to 6 formed the arms and legs)
- Ga Keen (see above)
- Senshi Gordian (pilot wrapped inside robot 1, robot 1 inside 2, 2 inside 3; 1 was a white+blue+red ruby player, 2 was red and 3 was blue)
- Gold Rider? (wong gum tsin see, golden lighter transformed into big robot, violating the conservation of mass)
- Machine Robo (tin wai yung see; supporting characters were a bunch of robots capable of transforming into vehicles; their toys used to be commonly seen in Hong Kong and apparently designed by Japanese kids; ah Jack (toy #3) transformed into a red plane, while ah Lok (toy #17) transformed into a black land-screwing vehicle. Main character was ah Lung, w/ a sword called Long Tau Gim, went into a blue robot called Gim Lung, and then into another green one whose name I forgot; ah Lung has a sis called Lina)
- Ditto, but these are not mecha--
- Blazing transfer student? (probably not shown in Hong Kong; I've only watched the first 2 episodes at MIT, really hilarious)
- Gatchaman (Eagle rider)
- Urashiman (mei loi ging tsat)
- Time Bokan series (siu seung hub)
- They were 11!
- Ace o Nerae! (mong kau gil wah, female tennis)
- F (ngor yiu chung sin, F-3 racing)
- Princess Sara (TVB, Sunday morning 08:30--09:00 before original Dragonball was shown, Sa lai mud yue, from the World Masterpiece Theatre)
- Three Eyes is Coming Through (TVB, Mitsu Me ga Toru, 3 ngan siu tsi, not to be confused w/ 3x3 Eyes)
- Ohayo Spunk (TVB, ah baan jo sun?, white dog w/ square face and black ears, and a girl)
- Wingman? (ATV, mung tsin see)
