These are also kid-friendly, but could potentially be a stretch for preschoolers: Pokemon, Kirby Right Back At Ya!, Hamtaro (this one's probably harder to come by these days), and Sonic X.

Only the edited 4Kids dub versions of those shows, though. The originals.. not so much.

Pocket Monsters originally had lots of sexual instances and violence
Kirby of the Stars as well. (]Here's one of the more amusing scenes)
Hamtaro having arcs about death and some sexual stuff.
Sonic X as well, plus Sonic clearly saying "Shit" and other funny Engrish swears was amusing.

So as long as they're the 4Kids dubs, I guess they're okay.

can i ask a question is this show related to homeless child remy which is about orphan girl?

Please stop trying to convince yourself that Pokemon is anything over than a little kid's show.

Seriously, dude. It's a kid's cartoon.

You can, you did, and it is! Sans Famille is an 1878 French novel about the boy Remi and his heartrending misadventures. 1977 saw Ie Naki Ko ("Homeless Child"), the Japanese animated series based on the novel, produced by TMS, and in 1980 they made a movie version (51 episodes cut into 90 minutes -- I assume) with the same name, a movie that was sold in Europe in the early 1980's and seen by Tim Maughan.

Now, what you are talking about is Ie Naki Ko Remi ("Homeless Child Remi"), which is just another adaption of the novel, made in 1996 by Nippon Animation -- this time, however, Remi (or "Remy") is a girl for some reason.

To me, the 1996 version seems a little weak: Remi the girl even gets to ride a cart, and not walk through France until her shoes fall apart! Neither does it compare favorably to the 1977 version in visuals: there, Dezaki had the image move in foreground and background in several layers simultaneously (I think they had as many photographers as animators), so it's a incredibly vivid picture -- it just looks amazing! Add to that the great Sugino design and...

...Uh, sorry. So, yeah. They are related.

I thought the dub acting was bad in Virus Buster Serge, but there is always a new low.

Yea! Tim is in on this one!

Hmm...add me to the small list of people who actually enjoyed Planetes. And also to the weird demographic who is a newer anime fan (less than five years), but still likes older stuff. I'm talking nineties, and 00's. I don't think I've seen any eighties anime besides Ghibli. Some of my favorite series are "vintage"...i.e. Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Outlaw Star, and Yu Yu Hakusho. So there you have it.

The clips of Tenchi's dad had me in stitches! I thought the dub acting was bad in Virus Buster Serge, but there is always a new low.

For anime that really need fully realized and fleshed out series, Please Save My Earth certainly came to mind, but so did Battle Angel Alita, Bastard, The Weathering Continent, The Seven Cities Story, The Five Star Stories, and Bastard!!. The early 90s certainly had a ton of material that got quick little snippets of OVAs, but really could use some remakes.

The first episode alone had that kind of stuff removed. And Kasumi's original promiscuous personality is pretty much neutered in the dub from the get go.

Case in point: Psychic Wars.

Planetes is just so good, one of the first entries to my collection. I also can identify with your being a newer fan into older stuff. I do like me some 80s stuff, though. Also, I think it's nice to know where the roots are.

Bastard!!: So Nice It Deserves Being Mentioned Twice.

Pr-promiscuous!? That's not a word which applies to 12 year olds. She gets crushes, like any normal kid.

The only thing cut from the first episode is Kasumi slapping Satoshi. Otherwise, the edits are text replacement and rescoring the BGM.
