BraveStarr

BraveStarr is not quite one of my favourites now, but as a kid it was my personal favourite of Filmmation's efforts. However, I do like it a lot For its time with the aforementioned episode with the boy dying of an overdose BraveStarr was quite bold, especially seeing as it was an animated show. The animation is more than reasonable, it isn't the animation that you go wow over as there is the odd flat character design, but I did love the ethereal-looking backgrounds, colours and visual effects. The incidental music is good, likewise with the theme tune, which is easy to remember and intriguing. The story lines are well paced and fun, complete with pretty strong writing and good characters(both good and evil), while the voice acting is top notch. In conclusion, a great childhood memory. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The 80's were a great (and not so great) time for cartoons. Bravestarr was among the greats. It had everything a kid could want, a space western setting, a kick ass Marshall and his unorthodox sidekick,an anthromorphic biped named Thirty Thirty and a band of weird antagonists all having "shoot outs"(rarely) on a planet called New Texas. It always had a moral at the end of each episode and as a kid, it made you empathise with the affected characters. Its a pity that Filmation did not continue this awesome series. A reboot would be phenomenal.

this was a show i ran home from school to see. When talking to friends about other shows when ever i bring this one up they all don't remember. So I guess i will enjoy it alone

BraveStarr was the only cartoon I remember to show someone, a child no less, die of a drug overdose. Most other cartoons had a kid drawn into drugs by some sleazy, awful looking guy, massively OD, than make a complete recovery with no ill effects, just in time to say, "I'm sure glad I learned my lesson," before the end of the show. BraveStarr's "drug episode" had a pretty cool looking, suave guy convincing a kid to steal from his mother in order to buy the drugs, showed the kid's transition from handsome, healthy young lad to burned-out junkie, and then showed him die when he finally OD'd. If I saw that episode today, I might see that it isn't as good as I thought it was when I was a kid, but, darn it, it DID hit me hard and make me think when I was eight and that was the point. For that, I will always hold BraveStarr a little higher in regard than the other cartoons of the period.

Bravestarr was an excellent cartoon series. It was one of My favorites and I liked it just as much as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! The cartoon was always action packed and exciting and even viewing it today its still one awesome cartoon. I just like the story and futuristic western characters. I hope one day Bravestarr will come back once more like He-Man did this year. If you haven`t seen a Bravestarr episode before please do if you can because it packs a wallop!
