    I'm not telling a story, I want to post about the cartoon

    What an incredible cartoon. I learned the difference between bacteria and a virus, white and red blood cells, plateletes, how digestion worked and more when I was a child and still remember it.

    Remember there was no wikipedia back then and a set of encyclopedias costs hundreds and hundreds.

    They don't make cartoons like this anymore
    There was a magazine too but couldn't afford that

    A lot of these are on youtube

    Anyone else remember this and learn from it :)

    They wouldn't make a show like it today. Kids wouldn't be able to follow it.

    I actually rewatched this show recently and enjoyed it probably more than I did as a kid. The English dubbing is quiet annoying (ie contracting and stretching of sentences to fit the time available) but I liked how it explained things such as the manufacture of nucleotides for DNA and the cellular process.
