Animation Revelation's Top 65 Cartoons Talkback Thread

[Foggle]

No, while they aren't of the same breed as the last 2 episodes, they just feel too slow and boring for me, in general.

Yeah, while I love 24, a certain scene near the end is dragged out for way too fucking long. But honestly, I like episodes 25 and 26.

I didn't like Asuka at first, either, but then I got to understand her character a little better and while she's far from my favorite, she's not really the bitch she tries to make herself out to be. I also like her competitive nature with Shinji. Plus, she arguably has the most bad-ass moment in anything NGE related that I've seen (in the EoE movie, if you know which scene I'm thinking about).

I do like her in EoE and Rebuild, but not so much in the actual series.

TRIPLE POST! I've been thinking, I forgot about Avatar which I like more than Titan and I just might like it more than Justice League.

Also here's a list of cartoons that I hope make the list and what probability I think they have of making it:

Guaranteed:
Batman
The Simpsons
King Of The Hill
Futurama
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy
Dexter's Laboratory
Monster
Gargoyles
Cowboy Bebop
Yu yu Hakusho

Likely:
Avatar
Samurai Jack
Lupin The Third
Rurouni Kenshin
Batman Beyond
Tales Spin
Duck Tales
Darkwing Duck
Trigun

No chance:
X-Men
Star Wars Clones Wars 2003
Sym-Bionic Titan
Samurai Champloo
Fist of the Northstar
Legion Of Superheroes

And heh I found the first post where ensatsuken found out that I was a Yu yu Hakusho fan. Good times. I found that because I have to google to find lists of my favorite anime because I never remember them all 

Shit, did any of these shows make the list? Found this post while looking for another list because I still can't remember all of my favorites.

[Foggle]

Off the top of my head, I know that Lupin and Duck Tales made it. I'm the one who wrote the Lupin piece.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Avatar and Batman Beyond also made the list.

[gunswordfist]

Good job on the Lupin part, Foggle. 

[gunswordfist]

Looking back at old posts, I saw that Darkwing Duck also made it. Nice.

The top ten better be the following:

10) Assy McGee
09) Rocket Power
08) Butch Hartman (not any of his shows in particular, just Butch Hartman himself)
07) The Super Mario Bros. Super Show
06) Captain N
05) My Little Pony (G1)
04) Problem Solverz
03) Donkey Kong Country
02) Drawn Together
01) Bad Dog

In all seriousness, I expect to see Ed, Edd n Eddy, Cowboy Bebop, The Simpsons, Rocko's Modern Life, Looney Tunes, Batman: The Animated Series, and maybe FLCL in the coming entries.

Since one of the mods is a jackass that hates FLCL it won't make it. Also Avaitor probably forced Looney Tunes out of the criteria AGAIN.

I think the top 10 will either be:
EK biased pick OR EK and another member's beloved show
Gargoyles
Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy
Cowboy Bebop
Batman
Monster
The Simpsons
Yu yu Hakusho
King Of The Hill
Rurouni Kenshin

A predictable bunch, y'all are.

If Billy and Mandy makes the list, I am punching Desen in the face. EK's pick is FAR more acceptable than complete shit

I believe that would be Jake Long was the show I had in mind.

South Park being EK's pick. That show is as dumb as its fans. *continues searching for my list*

[gunswordfist]

^Actually, seeing how apparently Jake Long was early in the list, before I made my prediction, I think the "EK and another member's" show pick was going to be One Piece not Jake Long. Forget who the other guy was if OP was in fact the show I was thinking of.

Foggle, I don't want to know half of those anime

Avaitor, stay ze hell away from my harddrive.

My list in no order:
Samurai Jack
Dexter's Laboratory
Star Wars Clone Wars 2003
King Of The Hill
X-Men
Batman TAS
Futurama
The Simpsons
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy
Justice League

Me obviously an action and GT freak.

Found the list. I forgot to put Avatar in it. Replace that with X-Men. Batman Beyond would also be above it as well as a certain other show. Time to go make another list.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I'll make it easy for you

Guaranteed:
Batman - Of course
The Simpsons - Yep
King Of The Hill - No question there
Futurama - Uh huh
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy - natch
Dexter's Laboratory - Any list without it is biased
Monster - We wouldn't overlook this
Gargoyles - No doubt
Cowboy Bebop - Si
Yu yu Hakusho - It is the best Shonen

Likely:
Avatar - People were only surprised at how low it was
Samurai Jack - It never came up
Lupin The Third - It was on since day one
Rurouni Kenshin - No one suggested it
Batman Beyond - Of course
Tales Spin - It was on the list at one point, but just missed the cut
Duck Tales - It's on there. Pretty high, too.
Darkwing Duck - Same
Trigun - It never came up. If the list was bigger it might have slid in.

No chance:
X-Men - All X-Men shows were considered. Only Evolution and Wolverine were in serious contention
Star Wars Clones Wars 2003 - On a top 100, it might have made it in
Sym-Bionic Titan - It was too new. I would vote for it now, though
Samurai Champloo - Not even considered
Fist of the Northstar - Too much filler
Legion Of Superheroes - Not considered

[Foggle]

Samurai Jack - It never came up

I actually did bring it up near the beginning.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Samurai Jack - It never came up

I actually did bring it up near the beginning.

Did you? I don't remember it having much discussion. 

[Foggle]

Samurai Jack - It never came up

I actually did bring it up near the beginning.

Did you? I don't remember it having much discussion. 

It was basically just me saying, "I like Samurai Jack, maybe it should be in the 60's somewhere?" and everyone else being like "no."

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

South Park being EK's pick. That show is as dumb as its fans. *continues searching for my list*

And yet even its fans manage to be significantly smarter than you. Imagine that.

[gunswordfist]

Never will understand how Trigun never came up.

I wouldn't put Sym-Bionic Titan on an all time greatest list. I love the show but a little bit too many throwaway episodes, too incomplete. Not because of a stupid reason like barely watching any episodes and writing it off as a generic giant robot show like EK did though.

[Avaitor]

There's a lot of great short-lasting anime that could've made it in, but lost to other things. Trigun is one.

[Avaitor]

As for what I'd put higher? DuckTales, TB&TB, and The Real Ghostbusters should all be a tad higher.

Watching some of TRG again, I totally agree. I think at one point we had it in the top 50 but moved it out. It really is one of the best shows from the 80's.

Although I do think that DuckTales might be THE best, period.
