So, just curious...what animated series do you rank as your favorite? For me...

I consider Avatar: The Last Airbender, Death Note, and Futurama as my favorite.

I'm with you on Avatar: The Last Airbender (although I wasn't altogether happy with the way it ended, but I think that's because I'm not part of the target demographic Posted Image). 
Also Metalocalypse is hilarious.

Avatar is great. Did you hear about the new spin-off; Avatar: Legend of Korra?

EDIT: Yeah, the ending was a little lacking. However, at least that pyschotic Azula **** ended up in a mental facility. God, she was evil. Saidistic, she is.

I enjoy all of those, except for Venture Brothers. I like Metacolyapse, but it is sort of...odd. Venture Brothers never really made an impact on me. I find it boring.

However, the rest are all awesome; especially Futurama. The new episodes that have been coming out haven't hit the original run's stride, but I hope they improve. The most recent one was excellent.

That is really too bad. Some of the series mentioned here are excellent and entertaining. Especially Futurama and Avatar.

Batman: The Animated Series (some episodes were very mature in content and really treated the audience as intellectuals)

Samurai Jack

The Raccoons  - A true classic

Transformers

Khayness: Of course Cowboy Bebop counts, it is animated, right? I love Cowboy Bebop, honestly. An excellent anime.



Wolfsite: Haven't seen Batman: The Animated Series in full, but I've seen enough to know that is very good. If I watched them all, the show might actually be added into my "Favorites" list. Speaking of which, I saw the box sets at Wal-Mart; which I will eventually pick up now that you conveniently reminded me. Along with that new Batman Movie; Under the Red Hood, is it? Ah, now I'm rambling.

Ya some of the stories in Batman :TAS I doubt they would try these days since they are very brooding and reflective on Batman and Bruce Wayne as people with doubts about if they are doing any good or just making things worse.

One Episode titles "Over the Edge" I doubt they would show on regular TV again due to the content.

Interesting. Anything mature and has actual emotional depth is something I like to watch. I think I might pick the box sets up tomorrow, you have re-ignited my interest.

Check out Batman: Mask of the Phantasm as well.  A great but overlooked movie which really does a great job showing Bruce in some more vulnerable moments before he put on the cowl for the first time.

I've actually seen bits and peices of that; I own it, actually. I've had it for a while now but haven't got around to actually sitting down and watching it. Thanks for the reminder.

@MassOverload:  I did like how Azula's storyline wrapped up and I enjoyed the fight between her and Zuko.  But As far as Aang's final battle went, the fight itself was cool, but I didn't appreciate the deus ex machina that lead up to it and I really didn't like the final outcome. But what can you do?  It is a "kids' show" after all.  I'm sure if it had been an actual anime the ending would have been much more believable.
And no! I hadn't heard of the new spin off!  I hope it's as good as the original. 
I refuse to see the live action movie though.  They really screwed up the casting, IMHO.

@Khayness:  Of course Cowboy Bebop counts!!  My favaorite episode is 'Toys in the Attic."  "Lesson, lesson: If you see a stranger, follow him!"  We can all learn something from Ed. Posted Image

And speaking of Batman, Batman Beyond was another good series.  I wish that one had stuck around a bit longer.

Gargoyles (mostly because of Xanatos). Batman the animated series. And I absolutely adore Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and at the risk of being ridiculed, would consider it superior to the Dark Knight.

Steel Moon, if it was a real anime, Aang probably would have ripped Ozai's heart out, lol.



Yeah, the movie sucks. Went and saw it and it has the most laughable dialogue I've ever seen. No joke.



Yeah, the new Avatar series is supposed to be more mature, so maybe this one will have a lot more dark elements.

Metalocalypse is great.



Uh, let's see: Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Paranoia Agent, Serial Experiments Lain. I think I'm forgetting some things. I started watching Texhnolyze a while back, which is very very good so far.

@KOP: Gargoyles is another great one!!  I have all the trading cards and many of the action figures.  I used to be obsessed with it.  I really liked the way it incorporated so many different mythologies and classical elements.

And that would have been GREAT!!!  The way they had him defeat Ozai was totally out of left field.  It was like they just pulled it out of their asses at the last moment.  Such a let down.

I'm glad I'm boycotting then.  I imagine it must be on par with Twilight.  Posted Image

I know, if Aang ripped his heart out I would have been so happy. Hell, I honestly think Zuko should have killed Azula too.

But that past is the past. Yeah, the spinoff takes place one hundred years after the first series, where an industrial age is coming to the world, and anti-bending societies are popping up all over the place. A water tribe girl, Korra, is the next avatar and when the series starts she has already mastered every one except for air. So, she has to be trained by Tenzin, Aang's son OR grandkid; can't remember.
