I haven't seen this or black star since i was 10! You have no idea how happy i am to be watching this. it was only last summer that i found another person who know what the hell i was talking about.
Good, clean, fun! I remember watching this back in the day and it is cool seeing it again. I would not be the least bit suprised if u-tube pulled it for copyright violation nonsense. As if these little videos comapare to DVD full screen format. F 'em.
Wasn't that trend started at Filmation? IIRC, The New Adventures of Zorro was among the first North American series to be outsourced to TMS in the early 1980s.

I wonder: Did Filmation hire a band to record a soundtrack for the Blackstar? Too bad they change it too much-too fast ( 05:44, 06:02, 06:40, 08:07 )
Oh yeah mister? Where's the new animation style that you've brought up since this anime boom's dominating TV? Where's the stop-motion? where's the Claymation? where's the traditional US animation? All I see that's anime has contributed here are just overlysimplistic cartoons and CGI junk. FYI, Western animation were as much cutting edged as much as Japanimation were in the last century. I like Anime mind you, but it's NOT the sovereign of animation.
This was fantastic. This was the good old days when I was paying no bills.
God, I miss being a kid and watching this good stuff! If I didn't have to repeat high school again, I wouldn't mind going back in time!
Thanks very much for all 5 parts! BlackStar is my favorite cartoon of all time, seconded by He-man!

Right on, I recognize this now that I see it! I love how the overlord keeps looking directly at the camera to deliver his lines! Sweet cheese!
"I know. But I have a feeling it'll take more than a volcano to stop (pause) the Overlord." Unnecessary beat there lol.

I love how they have to pause for emphasis before saying "the Overlord".
love it
Now I know what my father watched on tv in his childhood, I understand why he is so problematic.
Anyone else notice that the music at the close of the episode sounded very much like Star Wars?

Voices: Blackstar=Hordak/Bow, Mara=Teela/Evil Lyn/Sorceress, Trollbits=Skeletor/Man-At-Arms/Battlecat, Overlord=Megatron.
Overlord=Megatron?
Frank Welker didn't voice Overlord, it was the Alan Oppenheimer(Skeletor) who voiced the villain.
This serie looks like he-man, the sounds also are similar,
lol! i watched the episode waiting for the 5:38 mark and had to chuckle. lopsided implants i guess...
Blackstar is ok but not realy my choice of a show looks more like a mix of dungeons and dragons and he-man not bad tho

"I think it has more to do with what he's just gotten out of..." Hysterical laughter ensues...wtf? That wasn't that funny.
