The Incredible Hulk: Enter: She-Hulk (1983)
Was cool...
It was sheer magic to see this episode. From Jennifer retaining her intelligence to sharing her gift with Bruce seemed like taken form a Bill Mantlo or Roger Stern comic book.
Of course there was too many coincidences (everyone going to LA for some reason), but it was obvious so the history could exist. Besides the apparition of HYDRA was a fresh breath of originality that gave roots back to the Marvel Universe and set apart in a clever way from the 'Monster of the Week' chapter.
Not to mention it's exciting looking a t Jen turn up into She-Hulk, not one, not two but four times in the entire show, I doubt Bruce transformed so much in his 'own' chapters. Not to mention in one of those changes she ended tearing up her won car in order to save her cousin and her's! Now talk about the Sternian touch!
The Incredible Hulk (1982)
Now that was mass destruction...
I still remember the episode "Enter:She-Hulk" where they introduced us the cousin of our troubled gamma-genes doctor. I must say the 1996 series treated her better as the witty and extravertido character she was rather than "Ms. Broken Clothes". Yet that episode was powerful stuff. Jen could change at will, maintain her 'human' mind and regenerate her clothes too! While in the current cartoon Dr. Banner changed only one or two times into Hulk, Jen changed a total of FOUR times and do a lot of damage to their enemies, crippling whole bases of HYDRA in a matter of minutes! (I suggest strongly to see the fourth transformation where she reduces her own car to scraps in order to save her life and Bruce's). And better yet, Bruce looked at her as a way to cure him form being the Hulk. As well as I remember the Hulk gained a doses of intelligence in the chapter...hmmm, too bad she never got her own toon.
Shônen Sarutobi Sasuke (1959)
Marvelous, absolutely marvelous
The movie is pure magic, just like Sasuke. The SFX are great, the plot is coherent and the fights! oh boy! It's a pleasure looking Sasuke materialize and de-materialize at will, or his flight scenes. The really humorous scene is when he gets to the prince's castle and gets sticked into the guard's sword until they let him pass and then he gets flying! With so much power who can put a parental figure on this boy? I ask. When I looked at this movie in my teens I loved it. I just would kill to see it edited and distributed in DVD and get it into my hands...(*sob*) However "Magic Boy" was a preview of the great potential of Asian cinema and anime production that there was yet to come.
