Greatest Animated TV Series EVER! (Voting)

[LumRanmaYasha]

Oh, is that all? Phew, I thought hell was freezing over for a second there. 

I nominated most of the theatrical classic cartoons in this competition (Tex Avery was the only one I didn't nominate, actually), mostly because this is just a fun competition so I was like "Why Not?" I definitely see where your coming from, though, and in an actual objective decision-making process for deciding the best tv cartoons ever I would have left out theatrical cartoons as well. In any case, your decision will work in my favor for the final match this round, so I'm certainly not gonna complain.

I'd never vote for Regular Show over Disney's classic stuff in any other situation.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Well now that I know where you're coming from that makes sense. I'll keep that mind for future rounds.

Looney Tunes
Bob
Casshern
Billy - I forgot that this crap counted as a Cartoon Cartoon. It's probably the most overrated one and not too much better than Cow & Chicken. BAM only has 3 good episodes, the pilot, the DBZ one and my favorite, the clown episode.

Results:

Looney Tunes - 21
Bob's Burgers - 12
Casshern Sins - 11
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy - 16

The Looney Tunes and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy move on to round 2.

And so, after nearly a month now, we FINALLY have reached the final match of round 1! Are you excited? You should be, especially since we're ending this round on a high note with...

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 25


Tom and Jerry

VS.


Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine

VS.


Slayers Try

VS.


Sym-Bionic Titan

My Picks:

Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine - The best Lupin anime bar none. Full of style, with a unique look, and a tone the closest to a darker Monkey Punch Lupin story than any previous installment of the franchise has ever managed, it's a show full of brilliant and fun episodes, and some great commentary on female characters as depicted in anime to boot. As Foggle said, it was easily the best anime of 2012, though Jojo is indeed a close second.

Slayers Try - Yet another fantastic installment of the Slayers saga. I need to give it (and the whole franchise, really) a good re-watch one of these days.

Tom and Jerry - Putting this third to give the other two a boost, but these are brilliant cartoons and possibly the apex of quality-slapstick cartoons in general. Truly worthy of being remembered as classics.

Sym-Bionic Titan - I enjoy this show a lot, but sadly, I felt it squandered it's run with too many filler episodes, which were well-made mind you, but meant the plot barely went anywhere. I must say though that Octus and his story arc was absolutely fantastic and the real draw of this series, and episodes like "I Am Octus" and "Escape from Galaluna" are more than enough to make me consider this a great series. Speaking of which, I have to apologize to GSF for not putting the later episode up as it's sample ep. [adult swim] video didn't have it up, and it wasn't on Youtube either, so I had to go with a different ep, sorry.

Sym-Bionic Titan - 13

Tom and Jerry and Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine move on to round 2.

And with that, we're done with round 1! From 100 different animated series, 50 were cut, and now only the cream of the crop remain. Well, maybe not all the top, as some of the matches this round were indeed quite difficult so a lot of great shows did get left in the dust. Among them, my special condolences goes out to Daria, who unfortunately was in too tough a match this round to move on, but no doubt if it was in any other match it would have done so.

Anyway, prepare yourselves for even tougher matches as this competition continues in Round 2, The 50 Shades of Toon, which is coming up sometime soon!

[LumRanmaYasha]

While it seems "I can't count for shit," ( ) what I CAN do is start round 2 of this competition.

Round 2, The Fifty Free-For All: Match 1


The Boondocks

VS.


Tom and Jerry

VS.


The Simpsons

VS.


Johnny Bravo

My Picks:

The Simpsons - The classic episodes are still some of the greatest television ever produced and the show is still a top tener for me.

Tom and Jerry - Cartoon slapstick at it's finest, and there isn't much more reason needed besides that to put it second this match.

The Boondocks - I eagerly await season 4 in January. T'was a coin flip between this and T&J for second, btw.

Johnny Bravo - I'll always be fond of it's first three seasons, but it's the weakest link here, imo.

Quite a hard match today. Should be interesting to see which of these moves on to round 3.
