Teen Titans
One Piece
Jimmy Neutron
Sgt Frog

Never seen Sgt Frog, but for the most part outside of TT I don't particularly care for any of these shows.

Avaitor

Like Foggle, I only particularly like one of these shows, but my order's a bit different

Jimmy Neutron
Sgt. Frog
One Piece
Teen Ttians
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Same as Foggle.

I've only seen the dub for Sgt. Frog, but it's immature brand of humor is undeniably right up my alley.

As for One Piece, while the anime has its moments and isn't quite as bad as DBZ, and even though it has an awesome OST, I just can't really tolerate the terrible pacing and ridiculously cheap animation (in most episodes). My interest in One Piece has fluctuated over the years, but what I can say for sure is that I'd personally rather read the manga than watch the anime, myself.

I'm not a fan of Teen Titans, but I can respect that it's a show with a strong fan-base that actually has effort put into its writing.

I'm not one of those people who thinks of Jimmy Neutron as a crappy Dexter's Laboratory clone, but my problem with the show is that I just don't find it that funny or entertaining. I don't hate it, I just don't care for it. That's really all that I can say about it.

This match should be dubbed "the match where people only really particularly sorta kinda maybe care about one of the shows but don't really particularly sorta kinda maybe care about the rest," lol.  :sweat:

I dunno, GSF, as much as I like the show I didn't think it had any chance of moving on, but the math doesn't lie. If Avaitor or Spark had voted that match, I'm sure either Darkwing or Tron would have moved on instead.

Still, Ugly Americans is a funny show, and it's perfectly worthy of having moved on to round 2, so  :bleh:

Or if I had put Tron in first like I originally wanted to.  :awesome:

LumRanmaYasha

That would have given Tron only 13 pts, though. Ugly Americans moved on with 14. You would've had to put Ugly Americans last to tie them, and then someone could have possibly broken the tie in favor of Tron. Otherwise, someone else would have had to put Tron higher or Ugly Americans lower than they did.  :sweat:

For what it's worth, I'm not as harsh on Shounen as most other people on this board, so I do actually like One Piece and Sgt. Frog. I even enjoy the earlier parts of the One Piece anime to an extent, but I'd still just prefer the manga to it. I also haven't seen enough of Sgt. Frog to hold a strong enough opinion on it.

I don't want to get too off-topic, but I don't think that a series just being shounen automatically determines and standardizes the appeal/quality of series like One Piece and Sgt. Frog. What I mean is, the fact that they are shounen shouldn't play much role in how much you like them so much so as the content and execution of the shows themselves. There's good and bad shounen out there, just like there's good and bad seinin out there, and some of the best shounen stuff is on par with the best seinin stuff out there, imo. Also, some shounen series may actually appeal more to adults than kids just like how some children's american cartoons can (Rumiko Takahashi has frequently lamented that Urusei Yatsura was always more popular with college students and young adults than with kids, for instance), so it's not like there's an inherently limited cross-demographic appeal. All I'm saying is, it kinda annoys me when people judge an anime just for being a shounen instead of the quality of the show itself, especially since few cartoon fans judge children's cartoons here in the states like that.  :sweat:

Anyway, both One Piece and Sgt. Frog are in the lead right now for this match, so whatever anti-shounen bias there is on this board, it certainly isn't showing much.  :humhumhum:

Foggle

I don't really have any negative biases when it comes to anime anymore.

Yeah, I didn't vote in that round because the only show I was personally a fan of was Darkwing.

Although the only show here that I am partial to is Jimmy Neutron, and I'm surprised that some people here really hate it.

Watch the sample episodes for the other shows. Match 19. That's all I'm going to say for now.  :humhumhum:

But yeah, I quite like Jimmy Neutron myself and am surprised to see it's relatively unpopular on this board. I rewatched a few episodes recently and they held up about as well as I could expect, and I still think it's a pretty entertaining show more than it is not. I was expecting it to be the most favored pick in this match, honestly.
