I can't believe anyone else remembers this cartoon. I loved it when it came out even though I was in high school. I have used darkwater in my campaigns before. Great find Grim!

Pirates of Dark Water and Swat Kats were my jam as a kid. I miss them so much. Neither series was finished properly, though at least Swat Kats put together a decent final episode because they knew they were going to be short.

Same here. Exactly the same two series. I did like Galtar and Centurions as well, but not to the same degree.

Great cartoon, ended way too soon, really deserves a blu ray release.

I enjoyed this show as a kid. I remember some years later, after Cartoon Network had been playing the reruns, they had a prank segment wherein in response to a letter they claimed to have found the finale but it had been taped over with footage of a cat drinking milk.

As a child I couldn't understand WHY this was canceled :/ I was a huge fan of this cartoon and I still am... it was so different from anything that was available back then... it was mature and yet still available for kids... a cartoon so unique that was simply underrated. I don't know if it was not advertise enough back in a day or what... but I just can't believe that kids didn't like it. So many cartoon series from the 80' were mature in it's visuals and even story. So why this one was rejected ? No idea... but for me, this will be one of the best series, including both animated and live action, ever created

It seems to have been mainly a money issue.

@@PostmortemVideo Yes, I've heard about that :) which is sad... but I still think it needed more advertisment. I don't know a single person that ever heard about this show. Not a single one. That says a lot. Even my wife knows He-Man or Biker Mice from Mars. But nobody knows Pirates of Dark Water :/

God I loved this cartoon and the ship designs. I'm running an awesome Ghost of Saltmarsh D&D5e campaign right now. It has blackpowder firearms, ship cjases/battles and swashbuckling aplenty. If anybody wants my house rules or references let me know!

I remember Pirates of Dark Water. It was a mix of Sinbad. Jason and the Argonauts and the old pirate flicks. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies (Particularly Dead Man's Chest) reminded me of Pirates of Dark Water.
