Your Chance to Join the Exosquad

Since Todd Ciolek’s Daily List of ’80s Cartoons Which Desperately Need to Be on DVD was such a hit, it seems appropriate that I mention that Exosquad?#8 on the list?is now available for free viewing on Hulu.com. Well, the first 13 episodes, at least, but if your jonesing for what Ciolek described thusly:

Another show with ambitions far beyond the forgettable toy line it shilled for, Exosquad put together a far-reaching pastiche of ?realistic? robot anime and World War II allegory. Comparing its bald blue villain to Hitler may be a bit much, but Exosquad came credibly close to adult-level space opera, casting its beleaguered grunt heroes at the center of a three-way war among Earth?s military, space-faring pirates and humankind?s rebelling, genetically engineered slave race. Better yet, the series had the holy-shit-someone-actually-died element that makes a cartoon into a masterpiece when you?re 10 years old.

Oddly, Hulu calls Exosquad “The American anime” which makes zero sense, no matter what way you think about it. Whatever. Much thanks to The Comic Collective‘s Bruce Edwards for the tip.
