Saturday Morning Mindfuck 2

A friend and I were discussing saturday morning cartoons, a staple of our childhood. I stopped being interested in saturday morning programming once it was overflowing with Anime shows, whether they were actually produced by the japanese or if they were shoddy American attempts at that style. Actually, around that time, I had already long outgrown the saturday morning ritual. I'm not sure, but the title I had for this post was familiar which made me think I already did a post with this title, so I added a "2" just to be safe.

Anyway, here are some openings to some current saturday morning shows for children:


This one's called "Huntik: Secrets and Seekers" (Hunt IK/9-11? Secrets and seekers? Wow).


The first thing I noticed was the insanely cheesy music. Second thing was the use of the 4 elemental colors for 4 of the characters. As if the "rainbow" theme wasn't already apparent enough, the credits inform us that this show was made "In Co-Production with Rainbow. It pops up at around 0:25 in. The song says "Huntik, keep the faith and you'll survive". I'm having trouble analyzing this one because it's hard to watch, just watch it yourself and you'll notice pretty much everything else I did. Seekers and secrets, indeed.

Next up - GogoRiki. Once again, the "IK/9-11" theme in the title, along with a GG/77. I think this one's pretty self-explanatory:



Guess how many of those little bastards there are? 9. There's nine of them.

Here we have "Dinosaur King". Yet another "IK", this time reversed. The main character has Pan horns. In this show, like many others, they use cards (tarot) for battles and other shit.



Next. Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. The main logo has a dragon forming an infinity symbol.



The youtube video has this small description of the show: "the show's bout 13 people duking it out to the death to save earth". The 13 and the whole "Dragon Knight" thing is making me think Templars.

next we have "Sonic X". (Ma)sonic Cross? This one also has a slightly more veiled "IK", in the end of the word "SonIC", so it's Son/Sun 9-11. His blue coloring is also symbolic.



Here's a description - "While trying to retrieve the 7th Chaos Emerald from Dr. Eggman, Sonic and his friends are transported to the human world where Sonic is rescued by a boy named Chris(t). Now the race is on to keep Dr. Eggman away from the powerful Chaos Emeralds and from taking over the World."

This show is called "Chaotic". Do I really need to point out the "IK" thing again?




I'll probably update this post with more stuff, but I'm pretty much blown away by this point. Watch the videos and do your own synchromysticizing, or analysis, or whatever.

Two things about the IK/9-11 symbol - 9+11 is 20, which can then be turned into ZO/OZ. Another is the 11-9/K9/Dog thing.

Add to that the commercials for kid's toys. After one for a new set of dolls called Moxie Girlz with all kinds of fucked up imagery and symbolism (i watched it in slow mo to make sure i wasn't just imagining these things) they showed one with 3 boys on miniature racing motorcycles called "Pocket Rocket"
