My Cousin had me watch some animated shows and out of all 8 he showed me I really liked Code Geass and Darker Than Black. Let me tell you that's a step up from what I usually watch and that would family guy on Sundays.

I think it's better too.


I don't.


Most proper batman fans consider it better.

DCAU in general is pretty awesome (Batman:TAS tops it)
Avatar I finally decided to check out and was VERY glad I did
Some others that have already been named and Wakfu I thought was good =)

:blink: i forgot to add The Spectacular Spider-Man (R.I.P)

Rubbish Hero: I'm sure they do; I'm not a proper Batman fan, however. I'm simply someone who has a moderate interest in Batman. Nothing more. I consider Dark Knight to be a well acted film, mainly because of the late great Heath Ledger and his perfectual portrayal of the Clown Prince and Sadistic Pyschopath, the Joker.

So...yeah.

I think the best show is avatar like many others here.

Does Saber Rider und die Starsheriffs count too? or is that too old?

That was the best show when I was a child...

Jem... for the 80s fashion and camp, and subplots that elevated it above a means to advertise dolls for little girls. They seriously need to release this series on DVD in its entirety already.



Batman: TAS because it's Batman, but it's also my favorite rendition of Batman ever and that includes the recent live action films. To me, this version of Batman is who springs to mind when I think of the character. Mask of the Phantasm was also awesome. Unfortunately not all the movie tie-ins were, and some episodes were dodgy, but on the whole I loved this show.



Justice League and Justice League Unlimited for continuing the tradition Batman: TAS set. There were times I honestly wondered if I was really watching a superhero show for kids. :P



Teen Titans for its share personality and balance of comedy and drama. It was very pseudo-anime, but I still loved this show. I disliked how the series ended on an anticlimax due to unexpected cancellation, but I still liked this show.



The Real Ghostbusters... well, at least before it became dominated by Slimer. :P The later seasons were pretty awful because of that. I enjoyed the early seasons so much that didn't matter.



I decided not to mention any anime since it's commonly discussed. On the topic of Avatar, I enjoyed how it ended despite its admittedly Deus Ex Machina quality. It made for a dramatic finish and to be honest, Aang just killing Firelord Ozai wouldn't have felt that fulfilling to me. All of Aang's friends and the past lives he consulted said he had to kill Ozai despite how it went against his monastic teachings. Him killing Ozai would have been more realistic and probably led to a less happy go lucky ending for him, but it also would have been predictably boring. And since the show was ending we would never get to see how his feelings toward taking a life were explored anyway. What did bother me was how rushed the ending felt in general. It needed its own episode in my opinion.

Batman: TAS is my absolute favorite. I watched it as a child and bought it as an adult, and I didn't even realize what a gem it was when I was a kid, a seriously well done show. Plus, Mark Hamill's joker gives me chills.



I also enjoyed Dragonball Z and Naruto! but i'm not really into anime.

Current running favs are as followed (airbender takes all time favorite show DAMN YOU M. NIGHT)...

Boondocks- First season was alright, but every episode had to have some deeper moral point, second season started to do away with that, and now third season is full of just plain fun episodes. No more "black rights this and black rights that" now we get epic anime style kickball games with breaking bones and shattered skulls. Its a clever show with some of the best characters I think I've ever seen. It's funny as hell and has surprsingly awesome fight scenes.

Squidbillies- Just plain nuts...

Adventure Time- it's like if an acid trip was a sentiant being and could it's self get high. I cannot even start to describe this show anymore then that. It's something everyone should experiance. This show would fit in right along other Adult Swim programs, only it's during the day, which is a major shocker considering what they get away with.

Side-Note Do you know Nick is making another airbender series, and no cheap rip off, this is by the creators of the first one! It's all about Aang's granddaughter. Aang's dead though :(

Justice League / Justice League Unlimited, Venture Bros., Robotech, El Hazard, Futurama and, uhm, I'm sure I'm forgetting something - Home Movies.



I'll kick myself later for forgetting something - oh, Bubblegum Crisis!



Yes, and Kimagure Orange Road.



Ok, Thundarr and Jabberjaw. Done now.



But, seriously, JLU is probably my absolute favorite.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for me. I don't watch a lot of anime, but GitS does it to me every time.

Actually, about the new airbender series, it focuses on a young water tribe avatar who is trained by Aang's son Tenzin. That is what has been confirmed so far.

Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse, South Park, Transformers G1, (does Cowboy Bebop count?).


Not sure why you would think that Cowboy Bebop doesnt count, perhaps because it is too awesome to be compared to the other animated series listed in this thread? But as others have said before me yes it does count.

However for me it is a toss up between Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo (if you enjoyed Cowboy Bebop I recommend you give it a go).

You guys have named all the best already. The DCAU, Avatar. I'd say Spectacular Spider-man is pretty great as well. Oh, and that new comedy show Archer is pretty damn funny IMO.

I saw a couple of episodes of the new ones, xmen, Spiderman and Batman (not the brave and the bold) are all weird looking American anime, really anoying.

American Anime is a contradiction, for the record, but I do know what you mean.  And I think you saw Spectacular Spiderman and The Batman (as oppose to the older, better Batman: The Animated Series) because they both fit that particular aesthetic, one I happen to not mind at all, although it is evident that one's mileage may vary.

There's a new one? I'm talking about the classic, 90's version.

The classic 90s version was good. I also liked the old version of Spider-Man. It's too bad neither show quite holds up to the test of time in my opinion. Still, they were good. The most recent X-Men cartoon was Wolverine and the X-Men... which was sadly canceled. It had potential. :/

Pinkie and the Brain. It had humour, pathos. I laughed, I cried, I sang along with the theme song.
