Tex Avery- If I had a gun pointed to my head, I'd say Tex's work from the MGM department were responsible for my favorite cartoons ever made. Definite first choice for me.
Spectacular Spider-Man- Probably the best super hero cartoon ever made. If only it lasted longer.
American Dragon- Flipped a coin. The show's far from perfect, but its playing with mythology, varied sense of humor, and strong cast of characters entertained me a hell of a lot more than most of what else Disney's TV department has come up with in the past 10 or so years. In another match, I might give the show a higher pick, but not today.
Gummi Bears- And this one has just as strong of a continuity and likable characters, as well as having the distinction of being the show that made Disney's rise into televised animation become possible. But it lost the toss here.
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.

The Spectacular Spider-Man- It's my 3rd favorite cartoon series that I've ever seen. It may only be 26 episodes long, but it does more interesting things with its characters and story-lines in that short amount of time than what most shows can accomplish with more than double that length in episode-count.

The Tex Avery Show- Classic stuff. It's not quite on par with Looney Tunes, on the whole, IMO, but the best Tex Avery shorts can stand toe-to-toe with any of the best Looney Tunes shorts, IMO.

American Dragon: Jake Long- I do like this show, but I honestly haven't seen it in years, so I have no idea how well it does or doesn't hold up. I do think that a fair amount of it may come off as dated to me, but I do still remember that beneath some of the cheesiness, this show actually had some pretty smart characters and some solid serious story-lines backed by legitimately good writing.

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears- I've seen bits and pieces of this show. It looks to be pretty entertaining, but since I've seen more of the others, I obviously have a stronger opinion on those shows than I do this one.

The spectacular, spectacular Spider-Man and the cartoons made by the man who could make cartoons like no one can move on to round 2.

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 15


Ugly Americans

VS.


Tron: Uprising

VS.


Megas XLR

VS.


Darkwing Duck

My Picks:

Ugly Americans - A hillarious show that was the perfect complement to South Park back when they aired back to back. I really do miss it, since the second season was even better than the first and I could easily imagine the show having an even more stellar third season, but sadly, it was not to be.

Megas XLR - Really funny parody of Giant Robot anime and in general a great satire of pop culture. The episode with R.E.G.I.S. mark 5 and the two part finale still remain some of my favorite episodes of any animated series ever.

Darkwing Duck - Another solid, well-made show from the Disney Afternoon, even if it could be rather corny at times.

Tron: Uprising - Re-watching the first episode makes me wish I watched more of this show back when it was on Disney Channel. It's a cool action series and I love it's visual style, and it definitely feels different than what you'd expect from a Disney show as well. That said, I've only watched a few episodes, whereas I've watched all of the other three series in this match, so I kinda had to put this last, but it's definitely something I going to try and check out more in the future.

I Dig Giant Robots - My favorite giant robot show
TRON LIVES - Needs more love
He Who Integrates Monsters - The only other thing besides South Park I'd watch on Comedy Central
Bat-Duck - Only seen bits of it. Looks great though.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Megas XLR- One of the funniest and most entertaining Cartoon Network originals.
Tron: Uprising- I still haven't finished it yet, but I did really enjoy what I saw of it, so far.
Darkwing Duck- I liked it as a kid, but I have no idea how well it holds up now.
Ugly Americans- I haven't seen it, yet.

Giant Robots and Ugly Americans will move on to round 2:

Round 1, The 100 Toon Kumite: Match 16


One Piece

VS.


Sgt. Frog

VS.


Teen Titans

VS.


The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

My Picks:

One Piece - While I prefer the manga, the anime is honestly quite a great adaption for the most part until Water 7, where it starts to become a little more inconsistent. The anime also has my favorite soundtrack for any show ever, so that's a plus in it's favor for me as well. Thanks to the combination of that soundtrack, excellent vocal performances, and great directing where it counts, I'm able to look past some of the poorer animated and paced parts, and I enjoy the show strongly enough to consider it one of my top 20 favorite animated shows to this day.

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius - One of my favorite Nicktoons. I think it had a very consistent, and very funny run, and I still get a kick out of most of the episodes when I see 'em today. Definitely my favorite CGI television cartoon, at the very least.

Sgt. Frog - A really funny anime that's even funnier dubbed. Dammit FUNi, license a season 4 and give me the Keroro Platoon vs. Gaururu Platoon battle dubbed already!

Teen Titans - I used to really love this show, but after re-watching it on and off in the past year or so, I don't think it really holds up all that well. There are only a few episodes I would consider bad, but generally, none of the story arcs in the show were very good, and despite there still being a lot of episodes I still really like (most of them being the most comedic episodes), too much of the show is just feels average or mediocre. I still have a fondness for the show, but it doesn't hold up well on the whole, and as comedy-action series Batman: The Brave and the Bold trumps it in every way possible, so I have no qualms putting it last.

Hm. I only actually like one of these shows, and it's not a favorite by any means. Still...
