Greatest Animated TV Series EVER! (Voting)

[The Shadow Gentleman]

Sadly, Black Dynamite must go.

Futurama.

It hasn't been a full day yet, but....I honestly don't think the result would be different if I let it continue for the remaining 6 hours, especially since I can only think of one person who's been voting regularly in this competition that might vote for Black Dynamite, anyway.

Futurama moves on. Round 3 will be up shortly.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Okay, so from now on there will be five series per match, with only the top two moving on to the next round.

So without further ado...

Round 3, The 25 Toon All Star Melee: Match 1


The Venture Bros.

VS.


Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law

VS.


Futurama

VS.


King of the Hill

VS.


Looney Tunes

My Picks:

King of the Hill - Anybody who puts this lower than second in this match ain't right.

Futurama - Don't like the fact I'm putting this above the Looney Tunes? Well, sir, you can bite my shiny metal ass!

Looney Tunes - As much as I love them, I love Futurama and King of the Hill more. That's all there is to it, folks.

The Venture Bros. - It's a great show, but I don't think I can put it above any other show in this match besides Birdman.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law - This show was excellent all the way through, but somethings got to give here.

I've seen my fair share of King of the Hill. I like it, but not anywhere near as much as everyone else on this board. It's a well-made show, but it honestly doesn't leave much of an impression on me, personally. I'm also ticked off at everyone ranking Looney Tunes low just because of some technicality. Sorry, but fuck that shit. I'm just calling it like it is. I think LT is way better than most of the shows it's been pitted up against thus far.

[LumRanmaYasha]

E-K, did you miss this?

King of the Hill - Anybody who puts this lower than second in this match ain't right.

In other words, it was just a joke man.  I'm not the kind of guy who really cares about people not liking something I like so long as they don't bash it without basis.

I put Looney Tunes third because I personally enjoy watching and love Futurama and King of the Hill more than Looney Tunes, and believe me brother, I LOVE, RESPECT, and ADMIRE the Looney Tunes as a consumer of television, aspiring animator, and proponent of smartly written comedy and characters. I wrote my fucking IB History internal essay on the cultural and historical significance on war-related WW2 Looney Tunes for crying got loud (and I got an A on it)! And need I remind you I nominated the Looney Tunes, Silly Symphonies, and Tom and Jerry in this competition in the first place? Think about that for a second. 

It more bothers me when people put the classics too high up on a pedestal. Like nothing after them can be enjoyed by people to a greater extent, and that they can never be surpassed. I strongly disagree with that sentiment. Objectively, I'd probably call Looney Tunes the better series, mostly because it's scripts are sharp as heck and still are to this day plus the animation, acting, and direction quality is fantastic, better than most contemporary cartoons. However, while KOTH and Futurama might not rival the Looney Tunes in technical brilliance or animation quality, but I personally find the scripts more humorous, the tones more pleasing, the characters more rounded and enjoyable, and I get out of the shows more overall than I do the Looney Tunes, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's just how I feel, it's my subjective opinion. You feel differently, and that's cool, but everyone is voting and raking the shows in this competition based how much they like them, and why bother arguing with someone's genuine preferences?

As for everyone else, I can only speak for is Vlord, who I know likes Looney Tunes as much as every other person here, but likes the other shows in this match more.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I really think Harvey Birdman is that good. As I've said before, I'm not one for sexual humor usually- but Harvey Birdman is quite ingenious about it  -usually throwing it in unexpected places and in joke upon joke to add to the comedy of the story. I could probably rank Looney Tunes over it objectively, but of all the Adult Swim originals it's still the one I find of the best quality.

King of the Hill is just excellent. I don't think I have to explain that one. 

[Avaitor]

Yeah, I'm still sticking by my personal belief when it comes to the Looneys here here.

I'm just surprised that other people put Disney's stuff in last place during its round, however. I don't understand how someone could seriously enjoy Regular Show more than a classic Goofy or Donald short.

[LumRanmaYasha]

I'm surprised I was the only one who put Disney's stuff in first place that match (though Brave and the Bold is awesome so I could dig it). The fact so many people put it last shocked me. I was disappointed it lost, especially since I nominated them because they always seem so overlooked among casual animation fans in contrast to the Looney Tunes and even MGM's stuff. 

But at least Regular Show didn't beat Silly Symphonies and move on. That would have been depressing to me as a Disney fan.
