VISIONARIES

Classic 80's cartoons, not really much about this series since I don't know if I was able to finish this one.

Originally aired in 1987 and I don't know what year this was aired here in the Philippines but one thing I somehow remember, the series was aired in two versions. One version was English dubbed and the other was Tagalog Dubbed.

Aired as an afternoon cartoon I think and the story covers what seemed to be a post apocalyptic Earth where technology has reached its peak and has destroyed civilizations. Humans has returned to the Dark Ages and the age of Knights and Swords or other primitive way of living since technology has been long forgotten.

A battle between two kingdoms was raging on in this story between the forces of Leoric leader of the Spectral Knights and Darkstorm of the Darkling Lords. Merklynn a wizard one day appeared in front of the knights and offered assistance by giving them magic. Those who can receive the magic are those who will finish the race that he has made for the knights.

The magic consist of animal totems being placed on the chest piece of the armors and those who have staves were granted additional powers that can help them.

Later on along the story some vehicles were found trashed and were found out that it can run with magic. So this also shows that Magic and Technology were being used before the destruction of civilization.

Kind of weird too to see that the one of the machines had the capability to remove totems disabling the user or even trapping the user in their animal form just like what happened to Leoric on one episode where he got trapped in his lion form and was said to be a possessed beast.

For a classic series this was one of my favorites when it comes to old school cartoons of the 80's and 90's and if given a chance to get a copy of this series I will have some kids of the right age to watch this, not really violent or even have any foul languages and no blood and gore as far as I can remember.

Recommended as an old school cartoon series for those looking

Yes
