Bringing this discussion back with more gifs... there are so many sweet looking moments in this episode, it'll take a few more posts to cover them all <3 This is actually an old fav of mine. I remember seeing it once while our VCR wasn't working and loved it so bad that I waited for 6 months every time SWAT Kats aired to try and catch its syndication again so I could rewatch and record it. Needless to say, I watched the crud out of that tape. First episode for season 2 breaks in with some sweeeeet animation from Mook, and I'm a fan.

Confirmed: homeless people in SWAT Kats.

Actually dig his design to be honest. Purple jacket? Shnazzy.

Mayor Manx is not a fan of this new animation style however.

Tentacles have arrived and this is now WAY too anime for comfort.
He's been around. He's learned a thing or two from Mr. Young and associates.
More than any sentient mind ought to know.

"This is Mayor Manx...GET ME OUT OF JAPAN!!"

Nice to see Callie jumping around and having a little bit more action in the show, even if it is evasive action.

"Mayor Manx was right. Cultural sensitivity be darned. This has just gotten weird!"

Meanwhile, Chance and Jake are oblivious to outside events by being rad as usual.
"Can't you kick any harder than that?"

#he know he dead
As a kid rewatching this ep over and over on VHS, I remember my mom walking in and asking one time if these guys had boobs as a dig into this episode's tendency to draw them with pointy muscular man-pecs. After making all these gifs, I...I can kinda see where she was coming from with that. Especially in scene 1.

Anyone else ever feel like this is an episode about Jake getting one-ups on Chance?

I mean, those things are heavy, you know. In the face.

"SWAT Kats! Come in!"
"Yes Miss Briggs!"
"Megakat City has been inundated with some sort of... Japanese animation!"

"Also ooze. Mutating ooze."


Not gonna lie, I love Felina's intro here.

Razor impressed with gloves he's worn so many times, it never gets old!

Awkward off screen helmet toss. Still tho, T-Bone suiting up. Dang.

Razor still totally stoked by his usual gear and pulls the dramatics. T-Bone keeps politely quiet as he smirks to himself.

If there's one thing Season 2 delivers... it's sweet, sweet flight scenes. Aw yis.

Love this monster's scene entrance.



Funny how his controls being covered with acid drool never seems to resurface as a plot point. Kinda hilarious, then again, this show is also pretty ridiculous.

Yeah I remember seeing this episode in 1995 and being like "why doesn't everything look this awesome?"

"Look ma, no seat belt!"



Feral: The Spider Kitty

"Your niece is pretty quick on the draw, Commander."
"Are you implying that my niece is fast?!"
Jokes aside, this cheeses Feral off for some... reason. Then again, this is Feral. Does he need a reason to be cheesed? Maybe I never pieced it together. Is it because he doesn't like Razor complimenting his niece? *cough* I'm on the fence as to whether it's faux flirtation just to peeve Feral. Or if everything just annoys him, especially losing his face by getting his tail saved by a pair of vigilantes and his own niece.
