On January 15, 1999, GMA Network started airing reruns of the original English dub of Voltes V which was the first anime to air in my country back in 1978. The anime series was finally concluded in my country with the compilation film subtitled "The Liberation" that June in theaters. One of the few things that annoys me was that Steve Armstrong screaming the name of robot after volt in sequence was complete, & he never shuts up. Anyway, GMA airs reruns of Voltes V every Friday night at 7:30 p.m. before Daimos until September 24 when the classic anime was replaced by Pokémon the following week. Oh, & I can forget the Filipino dubs from late 1999 onward & the live action version subtitled "Legacy" last year.
It's way past my bedtime!
From 1995 to 2001, Cartoon Network was once a 15 hour cable channel in my country. At 9 p.m. till 6 a.m., the channel was switched over to TNT (later Turner Classic Movies in 2000) & lasted until June 30, 2001 Saturday when Cartoon Network became its own 24 hour channel the following day. For me in my childhood, I would turn off the TV at 9 in the evening.

Like I said, it's Yu Yu Hakusho not Ghost Fighter!
Before Funimation (now Crunchyroll) acquired the anime series in the early 2000s, Media Blasters' Anime Works label released both versions of Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie on VHS in 1998. The one with the original Japanese version with English subtitles, the other with the English dub done in Arleta, Los Angeles. Also, the first film was 30 minutes short. In my country, the series was called Ghost Fighter for its Filipino dub & name changes. It's a good thing I couldn't find a Filipino dub of the first film, because the whole thing is lost media nowadays.
