Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 22


China, IL

VS.


Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting!

VS.


Futurama

VS.


Cow and Chicken

My Picks:

Futurama - One of the smartest-written animated comedies ever made, and although the later seasons were not as good, the series at it's best was and is still highly enjoyable and rewatchable for me after all these years.

Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting! - FINALLY started watching this series today. Yeah, this is totally my kind of series, though it helps a lot that Ippo is a very relatable character for me. The first episode got me hooked off the bat, and the second and third continued not to disappoint. It's definitely looking to be a good series so far, and from what I've heard, I should expect it to get even better, and I might even end up getting a new favorite anime by the end of it. It may seem premature, but I'm ranking this second because I got a greater enjoyment watching the few episodes I've seen of this than I manage to get from the other two, and I have confidence it gets even better as I continue through it.

Cow and Chicken - A old favorite Cartoon Cartoon of mine, though I don't think it particularly holds up quite as well as others. Still, I do get a kick out of my favorite episodes whenever I rewatch 'em.

China, IL - This is actually a really good series and one of the better [adult swim] originals currently airing. I like it enough to keep up with it, in fact. I don't like it more than the others in this match, though, so I'm putting it last, but I do think it's worth most of your guys' time to check out.

Futurama - The show with infinite potential. It can be funny and tug your heartstrings.
China
HNI - Seems like something I'd watch.
Cow - Fuck this show. It only has one good episode - the giant cigarette pilot.

Round 1, the 100 Toon Kumite: Match 23


Silly Symphonies (Classic Disney Theatrical Animated Shorts Umbrella)

VS.


Regular Show

VS.


Batman: The Brave and the Bold

VS.


Freakazoid!

My Picks:

Silly Symphonies - Please note that I'm using the Silly Symphonies name as an umbrella term for all classic Disney theatrical animation, much in the same way the Merrie Melodies are always grouped under the Looney Tunes. This means that all Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and what have you cartoons are to grouped with the 75 shorts produced under the Silly Symphonies name. It's just as matter of convenience since Disney shorts are so rarely run on television under a consistent name. But anyway, classic Disney cartoons. I love them, they are as much of an influence on me as Looney Tunes, somehow less talked about and favored nowadays. For me, though, it's an obvious first for this match.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - My favorite Batman and superhero cartoon. Spark's articles are doing more than enough justice showing what makes this show so great. Speaking up which, I should have put up "Game Over for Owlman!" as it's sample episode to coincide with the newest one, but it just was much easier/safer to use an episode on youtube instead, sorry. 

Freakazoid! - Probably the only WB Silver age television cartoon I can say holds up consistently for me whenever I watch it. While it lacks the highs of the others, it also has pretty much no lows either, so I think it really has the most consistent run of all of them. Either way, it's a funny, high-quality series that I still enjoy, and one of these days I really do need to get around to buying the dvds.

Regular Show - Probably the best thing on Cartoon Network right now and definitely the funniest thing, but it's up against too tough competition for me to rank it any higher. 

[Spark Of Spirit]

Thanks for the comments! I quite enjoy writing the articles and re-watching the show once more for it. Knights of Tomorrow is kind of a strange choice, but its a good episode so I won't complain.

So here comes my obvious choices.

Batman: The Brave & The Bold - See my articles
Silly Symphonies - Too much here
Freakzoid! - Too short, but great
Regular Show - Meh, it's fine

[Avaitor]

Freakazoid!
Brave & the Bold
Regular Show
Silly Symphonies- I'll get to why I put these last at a later point.

You're welcome!

As for why I put "Knights of Tomorrow" up, one reason is that I've always really liked the episode myself, but also because the only other two episodes I could find on youtube were "Battle of the Superheroes" and "Mitefall." I'm taking a gamble and assuming Brave and the Bold will make it to round two, so I wanted to save those episodes for later. I may possibly upload an ep or two onto youtube myself for next time, though, or try to find a good site that has more of the episodes and isn't going to give my computer a virus.

Also that I wanted to add that "Dance Of Doom" is such a great pilot. Freakazoid really deserved a longer run.
