BEST AMERICAN CARTOONS EVER (not counting CGI):

(1) Exo Squad
(2) Gargoyles (more actors from Star Trek appeared on this show than on any of the actual Star Trek shows, isn't that wierd?)
(3) Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM version)
(4) X-Men (both versions)
(5) The Transformers (G1 only)
(6) Batman (both versions)

The adult comedies (Simpsons, Futurama, Critic, Duckman, Family Guy, etc.) are pretty good too, but nothing next to the kiddie dramas.

Favorite animated series

Postby BishounenStalker » Wed Jan 15, 2003 2:37 pm

If you want to go by the current American definition of anime (literally "Japanese animation"), then almost anything animated today fits the bill. But anyways....

My favorite American, Canadian, or just non-Japanese animated cartoons (in no particular order. Shoot me for some of them, I don't care):

Invader Zim
Invasion America
(was on the WB back in 1998. And they canned it just when it got amazingly good, the bastards)
The Simpsons
TRANSFORMERS! (original G-1, not this Armada bullshit)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (no list would be complete without this classic)
The Pink Panther (before he gained the power of speech)
Looney Tunes/MGM Classics
Tiny Toon Adventures
Animaniacs
Histeria
Courage the Cowardly Dog
ReBoot
Beast Wars
War Planets
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
G.I. Joe
Exo Squad
Batman: The Animated Series
Beetlejuice
Garfield and Friends
Freakazoid
X-Men
X-Men Evolution
Spiderman and His Amazing Friends
Dino-Riders
C.O.P.S.
The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest (first season only. Second season was a bad dream except for John Delancie as Benton Quest)
Dinosaucers
Tigersharks
Karate Cat
Inspector Gadget (the original animated series, ignore the Godawful movie)
Wallace and Gromit
Housecats (funny as hell animated short. No one here's heard of it I don't think)
The Family Dog

That's what I'm able to come up with offhand without having a 5-miles-long list

I would've mentioned Thundercats and Gargoyles and the like, they ARE favorites. But I was trying to think of cartoons that weren't Japanese animated. Thundercats was done by Rankin-Bass, whose credits include the animated versions of The Hobbit, Return of the King, The Last Unicorn (which is now being remade as a live-action feature), Silverhawks, and Flight of Dragons, to name a few. These were made in English, but if you look at the credits, they were all animated in Japan and therefore count as anime (as if the style of R-B's animation isn't a dead giveaway).

The same goes with Gargoyles. The story and sound was done over here, but the animation was all done in Disney's Tokyo-based studio. Hence, it can be considered anime as well.

That doesn't make these two any less great shows. It's just that the thread specifically asked for non-anime.

Yes but since Anime is the french word for animation we must remember that the smurfs are anime!

YOU BULLSHIT ME! Are you serious? Does this mean a new mix of that song that was used for an Evangelion music video?

I bullshit you not. Have a look: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0314301

I have no clue about music or anything, as not even half the cast has been picked yet, but there's the latest info I've found on the project. Looks good so far, I think.

I love that film and Flight of Dragons, they are still great. I didn't know that they were anime, in that case I probably shouldn't have included Ulysses 31 as that was a japanese-french thing and it is still the scaries kids cartoon ever even the music sends shivers up my spine.
