The other one with Brak

Brak barely appears in Coast to Coast, though. Like, I can only remember him being in ten or so episodes in that series, and most of time when he did show up he only had a minor role. What I'm saying is, a better nickname for Coast to Coast would be "The other one with Zorak."  :sly:

Or better yet, "The only one with Moltar!"  :il_hahaha:

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) - 26
Duck Dodgers - 23
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast - 24
Top Cat - 17

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast move on to round 2. I have to say though, that was a really close match, and one more vote the right way could have completely changed the results. But 'tis what it is, and we can move on to...

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 13


Animaniacs!

VS.


Case Closed

VS.


The Flintstones

VS.


The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

My Picks:

Case Closed - One of my first animes, and still one of my favorites. It's a very consistent crime-solving/detective/murder mystery series, and never really gets tiring to watch even 600+ episodes. It's such a shame that FUNimation stopped dubbing the series, especially since they never even got to dub any episodes past the introduction of Ai Haibara/Anita Hailey, who is easily my favorite character in the whole series, but I'm glad there's even 130 episodes dubbed anyway. Overall, it's just a show I can't ever really get tired of, and although I am itching to see how the Black Organization storyline will ultimately resolve itself, I imagine I can keep reading/watching for many more years to come (and besides, in 600+ episodes, you can bet your ass there's a whole lot of great episodes that never get old to re-watch, regardless).

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack - I love this show, and it's creative uses of the medium of animation in a way that exploits style and comic exaggeration in a way that I've seen few modern cartoons (and even the classics) even attempt. This is a show that mixes the weird and the bizarre in a way that's charming, and the characters are strong from the get go, unlike in Adventure Time or even Regular Show. Overall, I think it was one of Cartoon Network's best original series ever, and I miss the heck out of it.

The Flintstones - My third favorite show Hanna Barbera has ever created, and a true classic. While not laugh out loud funny or as endearing to me as some other classic cartoons series, at least not anymore, it's still a solid, smartly-written show with a lot to love. There is a charm to the series that will get you through every episode even if they aren't always the most interesting or the funniest, and that gives this show a bit of timeless magic to it, in my opinion. Overall, I think it's a true classic, and one I still enjoy to this day.

Animaniacs! - This show is just too hit and miss for me, nowadays. I watched it all again recently, mind you, thanks to the Hub, so I can confirm that while I really do love it at it's best, I am bored witless by it at it's average, and annoyed by it at it's worst. For a series with such a large cast of characters, it's a shame that I only enjoy the cartoons featuring  the Warners, Slappy, and Pinky and the Brain, and even then they have their hits and misses. I certainly don't think it's a mediocre show, no, it's a good show alright. I fuckign love how fluidly animated it is, and how clever it's writing can be. But it's just not likable enough in a way for me to enjoy it consistently, so I don't get that much enjoyment out of watching just an average episode of the show, and that's why I don't really feel anything towards it, anymore. So...yeah, I just like it the least out the four series in this match.

AAAAHHHDAYUM!!! How'd y'all let Duck Dodgers lose?

Case Closed - One of two (well 3 if Trigun isn't shonen) non-shonen anime I like.  My best friend, brother and me thought this show would be boring but soon after we used to get together to watch the show and try and figure out the mysteries.

Flintstones - As an adult I like it more. Anyone who thinks this show is showing its age can go stone themselves.

Animaniacs - BBBOOOORRRRRRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!

Flapjack - At least Ani has Pinky and the Brainbrainbrain. I hate this headache of a show.

Actually, GSF, Case Closed IS shonen.  :D

Granted, it's not a generic battle or comedy shonen, and it's arguably more "mature" than, say, Oishinibo and Shin Chan (both of which are seinin), and it's been running so long it probably has a huge fanbase with both kids and adults (like the Lupin the Third franchise, which is supposed to be seinin, but is popular among general audiences in like a Simpsons kind of way), so you might as well not consider it one anyway.  ;)

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.

I blame ek for making me think that.

Ahh, I missed the old school anime block with Lupin and Case Closed. I think there was a time when FMA, Big O, Bebop and Inuyasha also were shown on the same night and that might have been my favorite [as] lineup.Not all of them are my absolute favs {especially Inuyasha) but the variety is what made it great.

Detective Conan and Fred Fintstone move on to round 2. We're half-way done with the first round! Yippee! We're getting closer to certain matches I've been itching/dreading to get to. This match ain't one of them, but it's a bit of a toughie in it's own right :

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 14


American Dragon: Jake Long

VS.


The Tex Avery Show

VS.


Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears

VS.


The Spectacular Spider-Man

My Picks:

The Tex Avery Show - Classic cartoons from one of the greatest directors of animation. Avery never let you forget you were watching a cartoon, and he took full advantage of the medium in order to do so. Few cartoons possess the raw energy of his shorts, and most of them overall the stand up as some of the finest pieces of animation ever produced.

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears - The show that was responsible for the Disney Afternoon, and damn was it a good one. A great series mixing adventure and comedy, well-written and well-animated, a real treat and one of the finer animated series produced in the 80's. I actually like this series more than DuckTales, in some ways, and it's kind of a shame it's overlooked in favor of the former. It's an excellent show that holds up over nearly 20+ years and is consistently enjoyable, and really, you can't get much better than that.

The Spectacular Spider-Man - I love, LOVE what I've watched of this show...which is honestly very little, which is why I'm ranking this third. However, I am keen to finish this series as soon as I can get around to it, and I think it'll easily be one of my top favorites when I'm done with it.

American Dragon: Jake Long - A fine show, easily the best show Disney Channel was airing in the late 00's, and one that considerably improved as it went on. I have a fondness for it to this day, myself. Compared to the other series here, though, I don't like it enough to rank it higher than the rest.
