I’m getting into archiving animated media from all countries from my lifetime and a decent bit before (70s-today, animated includes claymation/stop motion/puppetry i suppose through cgi)

Like I’m currently watching lavender castle. Very enjoyable old thing.

I’m looking for weird shit you grew up on. Bonus if it’s dubbed in English but i’m willing to do subtitles to experience the weirdest shit aimed at your youth.

Video links appreciated, if available.

Lift Off. It aired throughout the 90s and was sort of like a weirder Sesame Street for Australian kids. It occupies a strange place in my brain because it's one of the first TV shows I ever watched and is therefore memorable in that sense, but it was also so weird that it feels like a dream I had which has been distorted by time.

Plasmo. I'm not sure if they still do this with kids programming but it was quite common for there to be several of these shows with very short episodes scattered throughout the after-school kids broadcast, usually as gap fillers between the longer shows that would start on the hour or half hour. This one had quite heavy themes for how short and simple it was. One of the characters kinda looked like an Ithorian from Star Wars. That's all I can remember!
