Also, is it bad of me to start thinking of Space Ghost when watching those videos?

Hey, Meta, have you every watched anime? There are a few I would highly recommend.

why?

that wasn't space ghost that Linked to, the Alex Toth art. it was Space angel. far better. It was strange because they did the movement like a story board and only the mouths moved. The actual art work itself is much better than space Ghost.

Fair enough, stil would recommend cowboy bebop (my avatar is the main character so that should tell you what I think of it.)

Probably, one because I have never heard of space angel, but the designs and title (duh) reminded me of it.

Yes but the art is more realistic. I know Space angle is much moer obscure. it was never a Saturday morning cartoon of a major net work. It was in syndication and I guess about 1960-62 or something. They didn't have many Saturday morning cartoons until about 64.

It has a character who I bet was the prototype for Scotty on star trek. He was called "Tarus" on this one. A Scottish engineer who could make any engine work and said things like 'aye captain!" Alex Toth who did the art made it big as a comic book artist in the Bronze Age of comics.
