I watched the Dragon Warrior cartoon when it aired in 1991 (at 5:30 AM on Sunday, on a rather fuzzy UHF station, naturally). It was based pretty heavily on Dragon Quest III, from what I understand. I thought it was awesome to have a game based on Dragon Warrior/Quest, which was right behind Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Kid Icarus on my list of NES favorites. It was the first anime show I can remember seeing. I might have seen some episodes of Robotech back in the 1980s because my sister was a fan of that series, but can't remember. Apparently, only 13 episodes were localized because Saban Entertainment and Bird Studio got into a big legal wrangle.
