Kudos to whoever left in the Sci-Fi bumper. Their Saturday Anime showings were a pretty good introduction to the field. Most of the time you'd get twaddle like Lily CAT and E.Y.E.S of Mars and Demon City Shinjuku, but every now and then you'd see something neat like this.

Franken's Gears and Nightmare have always been my favorites.

I saw this and Twilight of the Cockroaches back to back in the wee hours of the morning when I was like 7 or 8 years old. I'd go on to just assume I'd dreamed them for years. We were at grandma's, who had cable, which was a magical thing to us because we never had anything more than rabbit ears until we were teenagers. So naturally, whenever we went to her house, we stayed up and watched as much as we could, and since these were the only "cartoons" on basic cable in the early 90s at that time of night, that's what we watched. Well, every now and then MTV Oddities/Liquid Television/etc. would be on and we'd watch that too.

I really need to sit down and watch this whole thing.
