So I am grateful that I was born in the right era where people appreciate children that they put lotsa good cartoons and animes on TV, thank you. I'm gonna talk about it a little, just pieces of them I still remember.

| Doraemon and Friends |
Yesh, it is the so-called DORAEMON~
The 21st-century-robocat who comes to Nobita's house for helping him to study and cope up with life. Or that is how I interpret it. He has a round head and blue skin. His specialty is his pocket (there it is, attached on his belly, but not permanent you see. It can be stolen like it's just stuck there by glue or something hihi). It contains the whole planet's equipments but it stays slim and personally it kinda looks like a pantie. Whatevs. He also has a spare pocket he hides and in some urgent times, he gives it to Nobita just in case he needs it.
Although he is a robot, he talks a lot from his mind, and if I have to say, he thinks like a wise 40-year-old man. He is scared of mice. Over all he is the most lovely robot you can ever have :)
From the left, the red shirt boy is Nobita, the big one is Giant (his real name is Takeshi, I believe), the blue shirt boy is Suneo, and the only girl there is Shizuka. Nobita is such a clumsy, not-good-at-anything, regular boy who loves to take a nap a lot and cries a lot too that he's such a poor hopeless main character. His only good point perhaps is that he cares about other people a lot, and he is a loyal person. He is such a lucky guy for having Doraemon by his side. Giant is the main troublemaker. He loves to sing, but he doesn't realize how dreadful his voice is, that is capable for chasing away pests. He often drags Nobita to play baseball with him. Suneo is a rich boy and loves to show off. He's a good friend of Giant. Shizuka, as the only girl, is loved by all as she is beautiful, smart, cheerful, and everything that's good.
Doraemon is probably the first manga and anime I watched. Nobita and friends are all in 4th grade. I watched Doraemon ever since I was in kindegarten, and after I was in middle school and now - getting ready for college - they are all still stuck in the 4th grade. This is a splendid work of Fujiko F. Fujio-sensei.
Doraemon used to air every Sunday at 8 o'clock in the morning, and I used to watch every episode of it :)

| Honey Bee Hutch |
And here is our beloved honey-bee, named Hachi. The title of the anime is "HONEY BEE HUTCH"
Unlike other animes whose main characters are human, Honey Bee Hutch centers on a honey bee, Hachi, who is searching for her mother. Who is apparently the queen of honey-bee (you'll find it in the last episodes). He flies here and there, across the land and sea, hoping to find her mother. His adventure is quite interesting for a child, and it teaches us how not to give up before reaching your dream. I watched this series until the very last episode with my mom (I dunno why but she's interested with the story too). We used to take the seats in front of the TV once the clock turned to 6 o'clock in the evening. Although I cannot remember clearly the story, but I believe this story is inspiring. "Mama... Mama... Where are you?"

| Akazukin Cha-Cha |
Hyaa! This one is my fave too : AKAZUKIN CHA-CHA
The red-hood girl is Cha-Cha, the main character. She's clumsy, ridiculous (most of all the times), and not brilliant at all. She is the student of Seravi, the number one wizard, they say. The blue hair boy is Riya, he is also the student of Seravi (I think). He is more stupid than Cha-Cha, or maybe they're just the same. They like each other, by the way. And the black hair boy is Shine, he's smarter than the others, but he falls into stupidity by playing with them. He has a crush on Cha-Cha, unfortunately a unrequited love (haha). Poor Shine. He is the student of Dorothy, whom Seravi has a crush on. All of em live in Mochi-Mochi Mountain. All in all the plot is quite complicated, although I understand and remember them clearly, but it'll take pages to explain it. To make it short, they are wizards, or wizard students, who learn magic in a school called Urara. The manga tells the everyday story of them which is ridiculous yet funny and interesting to read. While the anime, aside from telling their comedy-like-life, also tells stories how they save the world. When they face an enemy, Cha-Cha will turn into a young lady powerful enough to defeat their enemy using magic arrow, dagger, and the last weapon... Uh I cannot remember. Haha. Sorry.
I used to watch this on TV every Saturday at 8 o'clock in the morning (even my mom hadn't woken up by that time, so I alone got up for the sake of watching Cha-Cha hehe). I was so determined. I was.

| Creamy Mami |

| Minky Momo |
The left pic is CREAMY MAMI while the right pic is MINKY MOMO~
The two of them have a kinda similar plot, I think. Creamy Mami tells a story about a girl who can transform into a young lady who is good at singing, thus she becomes a singer (only after she transforms). While Minky Momo tells a story about a girl from a different planet who can transform into a young lady with any profession she desires (like a teacher, policewoman, etc) depending on her circumstances or her needs. She stays on earth with her foster parents. She has two pets which I forget their names hehe.
Both animes used to air in the afternoon almost every day.
to be continued...
