[@kennethsatria6607]

@*kuma * But people are favoring rounded shapes and simplicity. Least Ducktales has edges on it. But how long since we've seen a show like Ben 10 or Avatar? The kind that tips to realism a bit more and has action in it?

[@kennethsatria6607]

@*kuma * But isn't the whole deal with animation is that we can do thing differently? Themes, artstyle, storytelling ect. I just cannot shake the feeling there's a void where those action shows left, things like Justice League Unlimited or Teen Titans, those are the shows with morals and compelling character arcs amidst smaller misadventures with other characters, but I always remember there being a lot of heart in just about every episode of JL. Some with higher stakes than others but all the same very strong impact. Will that void be filled? I'd like to make sure it does. Those lessons were absolutely timeless.

傻瓜 means “stupid” The song literally says “little friend, little friend, an idiot is my friend.” This was intentional.

[@jaketucker2559]

Jordan Andreanopoulos but why though

[@crownedone8837]

Yeah, why?

[@liimlsan3]

@@jaketucker2559 傻瓜, pronounced "shǎ guā," is a common insult. Literally, it means "silly melon" or "melon head." (Supposedly, this is why the Chinese Harry Potter subtitles translate "mudblood" as "melon.") Her and her siblings have melon names. Dongwa is "冬瓜," Winter Melon (a wax gourd), pronounced "dōng guā," and Sheegwa is "西瓜," Western Melon (watermelon), pronounced "xī guā." And according to the book, it's because the oldest was dependable (a wax gourd will keep through winter), the youngest was sweet, and Sagwa herself is a clumsy moron who falls into things, a melonhead. Things like pots of ink, hence her black markings. (Most of the others have Chinese names. "Fú-Fú" is a play on a homophone and means "lucky bat," their mother's name is "small wind," their father is "daddy darling," the Magistrate's daughters are "white bean," "green bean" and "yellow bean..." I can't figure out if the reader's name means anything. Chinese isn't even close to my first language.)

[@GuukanKitsune]

Well, as odd as it sounds... if a German Shepherd dog lived in Italy, it would indeed be an Italian German Shepherd. German Shepherd is the breed, Italian is the nationality. Same with Sagwa. She is a Siamese Cat (breed) who lives in China (nationality), making her, indeed, exactly that: a CHINESE(adjective) Siamese Cat(breed). I know, it sounds wierd, but my home tongue gets like that. Something can be grammatically correct and still... wierd. Like how 'Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.' is a legitimate and grammatically correct sentence.

We all know Wimpy's burger bill is just like the national debt in that its never going to be paid. Please forgive the ramblings of an old man's mind.

[@NealForAmbassador]

Sagwa you're my best friend

[@xxstarbrite02xx30]

I rescued a Siamese cat and named her Sagwa, she's actually sitting in my lap and purring as I speak. That's not weird that I named a real cat after this, right?😅

[@caboose.20]

Ofcnot

[@redjackal7823]

Nope! Opposite of weird! It’s purrrrrr-fect!

[@supremecoder424]

Funny thing is my cat LITERALLY jumped on my bed and walked on me just a second ago.

[@byronthomas1668]

Of course not. I had a Siamese cat, 24 years ago. Byron Thomas

[@byronthomas1668]

My Siamese cat's name was Demolition. I lost this cat in 1994. Very sad.

I know this show

[@warriorofwisdom1399]

I didn’t even know that I remembered or had forgotten this show😳 Just small things like that running guy's long ponytail, the cat’s tail painting with the ink, the music, the cat’s collars, the big and bright moon, and the glasses on the bat. It’s so strange how you can remember so many details about something you watch at such a young age and then forget all of it for 20+ years and then once you see it again, all these memories come flooding back that you haven’t thought of since you were a baby😨 This nostalgic feeling is very perplexing and I don’t know how I about it😶

RigoFX, haha. Okay. I'm more of a Japanese oriented person. Even though I'm studying German as my major.

[@StephonZeno]

I remember staying up all night during my elementary school track breaks and watching this at the crack of dawn. I can't remember a single episode but I remember I only watched the show because cats.

[@kndr2094]

Duuude track schools were fucking weird... do they exist?

[@StephonZeno]

@@kndr2094 They did back when I was elementary school. Get between 1 to 3 weeks off from school. It was pretty sweet, until you have to make up for those days, which means my summer break was only a week and half long.

[@eggbun1856]

omfgggggg u right, it WAS on super early, that memory just unlocked itself

when I saw the thumbnail, I was like, "Hey have I seen this show before?" when I clicked the video I was like "holy crap I haven't seen this show in a long ass time!"

[@wormwanter2970]

This just unraveled a mother load of “No Cable” nostalgia

[@ElegantAries]

I used to watch this when I was smaller, and I wanted a siamese cat named Sagwa... Actually, I still would like a Siamese cat named Sagwa.

[@saddasish]

(Okay, this really ruins your childhood, even mine considering that I'm Chinese myself:) Realize that Sagwa is a slang that means "insane person". Literally means "melon head", but it's usually a negative term to call someone. The more you know. Now you can use that to call someone, just not to name a cat.

[@ElegantAries]

greenmeanie Wow... Right in the childhood :(.! Now I gotta think up of a new name for a Siamese cat then. Thank you for telling me.

[@goguma46]

greenmeanie growing up and remembering this show, it makes me think if sagwa is supposed to be Korean, because her name will translate to "Apple" instead, and seeing the the characters' clothing somehow identical to traditional Korean clothing

[@teresitaaa]

I took chinese in college and when we learned how to say "good friend" I, out loud, went "OOOHHHH" kinda loud and then I had to explain to my professor I wasn't being disruptive I just realised the lyrics to sagwa 😭😭

[@dakotacabana1229]

I had to look this up, it was bugging me. I was walking around my house singing "We are Siamese if you please. We are Siamese if you don't please." Then from there I started humming the Sagwa opening music.

[@vallimani6789]

Omg the exact same thing happened to me :D

[@lortaylor21]

Omg I feel so nostalgic right now. I used to love this show. I completely forgot about it

[@joshuabenson6543]

I almost forgot this show even existed. I watched it when I was a kid, and as I grew up, it pretty much nearly faded from memory. Watching that opening again, I’m reminded of my childhood. *sigh* Good times.

[@selenopheria]

I remember when this started coming on instead of Liberty's Kids, and guilessly, my sister and I kept right on watching. Mom put a stop to it when she found out... (Liberty's Kids was part of our homeschool routine, Sagwa was not.)

[@hobomike6935]

that;s great lol

My youngest sister loved this show when it first aired in 2001. She was 5 at the time. She usually pictured each cat resembling herself, my other sister, and I. Sheegwa = youngest sister Sagwa = younger sister Dongwa = me Such great memories.

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

When me and my younger sister pretended to be the characters I was always Sagwa, since I was older, and my sister was Sheegwa

[@honeyblood3276]

I FINALLY FOUND THIS SHOW AGAIN AAAA

[@TheConfuzzledCat]

Oh my god, just watching this is like a nostalgia trip from my childhood, which was basically all PBS.

[@ZacharyMcLellanMusic]

I watched this as a kid, and the main thing I remember from it is the guy eating the noodle at 0:20. That is burned deep into my brain for some reason.

[@Shirley36]

Crap, now that I'm watching this as an adult I realize they're trying to sing 好朋友 (hao peng you) ['good friend' in Mandarin] and not made up Asian gibberish like I had assumed when I was young and singing along OTL As a Mandarin speaker I'm ashamed lol

Lol is it weird that I remember watching this although this stopped coming on in like 2003? I was born in 1999

[@homeschoolingrules1]

There were always reruns for a while after a show was canceled, maybe you're remembering those.

[@armani3762]

Elizabeth Pratt​ This show actually ended in fall 2002, I looked it up, and ran reruns until 2008. Though I think it may have been around 2003/2004 that I remember watching this the first time

[@sparkishay1499]

I was also born in 1999 and this was one of my favorite shows. If you watched in when you were say, 3 or 4, there's a good chance you remember it from then

[@sophiefilo16]

Same. I think the re-runs only came on at some hour in the morning when I was always at school, so the only time I even had a chance to watch it is if I didn't have school for some reason and I was awake at the time. And then, it was suddenly gone, just when I was getting to know it...

[@notsopopular1]

Anthony Sanders i remember also lmao

[@dashyyylps4881]

I remember having a plush siamese cat named Sagwa, and whenever the show would come on, I would grab the plush and watch the show with it, and sing the lyrics (not the actual lyrics, since its Chinese, I would just mumble intelligible words that sounded Chinese to a 4 year old) but anyways, it was great, really miss the good old days.
