Found: Captain N
There is some immediate interest garnered from my investment in a new Anime Chart: Oh, man, I had no idea this existed
California teen Kevin Keene gets pulled into the world of Videoland, where he becomes Captain N (for Nintendo) and joins with Princess Lana, Kid Icarus, the supercomputer Gameboy and the rest of the N Team to battle the power-hungry evil Mother Brain. But Mother Brain has loads of video game monsters and villains at her disposal. Will Captain N and his helpers defeat Mother Brain, or will her minions zap them into oblivion?
Of course I can only enjoy this on an ironic-hipster-nostalgia level, but enjoy it I fully intend to. [wait, is that grammatically correct?]
It currently sits at #394-397 in my Netflix queue — so I’ll be watching this in 2010, at which point it will once again be a pleasant surprise. Unless it really, really sucks; sucks so hard that it takes all the ironic hipster enjoyment out of my appreciation of 1980s retro TV/Proto-Pseudo-Anime cartoons. (wasn’t there a Mario, and a Sonic thing as well?)
