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!

The Ed Boys and Scrooge McDuck continue to chase after elusive riches in round 2. That was a close one, I gotta say, but I can't argue with the outcome  :). This next match is a mean one for me, since I like/love all the following shows pretty equally...but also need to rewatch 3/4ths of them properly sometime to see how well they hold up (not if they do hold up, cause I know they do, but how strongly they do). I'm sure Foggle is going to like the odds on this one, though, since one of his favorite anime is up against some good, but manageable competition, so it's got a great chance to move on. So without further ado, let's hit the double digits for the matches of this competition with...

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 10


My Life As A Teenage Robot

VS.


Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

VS.


The Angry Beavers

VS.


Batman Beyond

My Picks:

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - A hilarious middle finger to otaku culture and overall just a funny show with good satire and an uproarious english dub. Oh, and for the record, I can guarantee that I liked this show waaaaay before any of the rest of you guys, too... :>

Batman Beyond - The weakest of the major DCAU shows in my opinion, but still an excellent, excellent series with a great protagonist in Terry McGinnis and overall just a lot of really well-written and memorable episodes. Plus, Return of the Joker is awesome, and that movie and this show was the first step to me actually liking superhero/action cartoons as a kid, so I'm grateful for that. I'd probably put this and The Angry Beavers above Panty and Stocking normally, but I haven't given either of them a proper run through in a long ass time while I've rewatched Panty and Stocking pretty recently, but I definitely plan to give it a proper rewatch when I have the time.

The Angry Beavers - While not as consistenly good as Rocko, I still get a kick out of the series and it's mixture of absurdist and nonsensical humor. I should give the complete series set I bought of it a good run-through sometime.

My Life as a Teenage Robot - This series, alongside El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, is one of the most criminally underrated Nicktoons in existence and I love the shit out of it. Jenny is easily my favorite character from any Nicktoon, and all the episodes are solidly entertaining, although admittedly they don't reach the heights of the most popular Nicktoons like Rocko or Spongebob, which is probably why this series only has a cult following today (at least it's a pretty big one, though). I have to put this last because, even though I really do love this show, I don't really like it better than the rest of these series, or I at least haven't rewatched it properly to compare it to the other series in this match, and I'm pretty sure it has little chance of moving onto the next round, anyways. That said, I really do think this show was great and it's a shame it's one of the more overlooked Nicktoons next to El Tigre, and I'm glad Nicktoons still reruns the series occasionally, although I'd much rather shell out the money for a complete series set (hopefully someday!).

At least watch episode 6 of Panty & Stocking before you write it off.

Same as Cartoon X.

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 11


American Dad!

VS.


The Secret Saturdays

VS.


Fist of the North Star

VS.


Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated

My Picks:

American Dad! - One of my top 10 favorite animated series of all time. It's just a hilarious show with hilarious characters (The Smiths > The Simpsons >>>>>>>>>>>>The Griffins, IMO), and so, so much funnier than the other Seth McFarlane shows that it shouldn't even be lumped in with them. The first 6 seasons were golden, and it's easily still the best thing on FOX right now, even if the recent seasons have become a tad weaker.

The Secret Saturdays - An excellent action cartoon that managed to tell a tightly-paced and well-contructed plot and have an actual ending to boot, unlike Symbionic Titan. It was a very consistent, very enjoyable series and it's a shame that it ended so early, although at least it has an ending, unlike a lot of other action cartoons that ended prematurely.

Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated - I nominated this as one of the final 10 entries because I knew Pharass liked this show, and since he didn't nominate anything I decided to do it for him. This is easily the best Scooby series, however, and manages to combine the gangs traditional mystery escapades with an intriguing overarching plot and, gasp, character development. A highly enjoyable show, and a quality one that future Scooby series will no doubt struggle to match.

Fist of the North Star - I watched the first episode, and it was a pretty good adaption of the manga all things said and done. That said, I've only watched the one episode and have only read a few chapters of the manga, so I don't feel that strongly about the series yet to rank it above any of the other shows in this match.
