Gravity Falls is one of the best shows around.
MLP:FiM
Adventure Time
Gravity Falls
The trifecta.
There are some good cartoons out right now. It's surprising after the waist land of 2008-2010 after the loss of Avatar, Zim, and Teen Titans.
I remember the late 2000's in general being fairly sparce although I was big into anime at the time, one lead to the other. I can only really remember watching Hartmans stuff like Fairly Odd Parents I didn't even see many Cartoon Networt repeats, I still had hang ups over Toonami.
True, but the 2008-2010 time frame in particular saw cartoon network airing CNreal with things like: Destroy Build Destroy and Dude, What Would Happen, BrainRush, ext, ext. "CNreal" probably the dumbest idea ever. The cartoons they were showing tended to be some version of Scooby Doo or Tom & Jerry, and, for a while, they seemed to be grabbing anything 'Fresh TV' made (6teen, Total Drama, Stoked). things are better now, but still not quite back the the mid to late 90's assortment.
I remember several 'real' shows popping up at the time from what seemed to be the 80's and not even to the standard of say 'Sabrina' like what they had on Nickolodeon. I just remembered being so disillusioned with my favourite thing in the world (cartoons) that I retreated into anime which I mostly stayed with until 2010 when I started to predict tropes in Shounen manga down to the script points... sad times. Then one day I was bumming around YouTube and found Ruby Gloom which I thought was just lovely and it was all up from there!
People my age who go on and on about this 'golden age of cartoons' from the 80's-90's really drive me nuts. Im not saying those wern't good times, they were, but its no excuse to over look the awesome shows of today because of the crap that was the late 2000's.
Im from the UK, so I don't know if we had the same scedule as the US, I hear they have some new psuedo-Toonami (SO MUCH WANT!), where are you from?
Toonami has returned on Adult Swim, which is when the more adult themed shows air late at night. Steve Blum is still Tom and they are trying to keep it going, from what I know its been going good so far. Its on every Saturday night at midnight I think.
I don't remember the lineup but I know Naruto, Bleach(sigh), Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood, Eureka 7, Thundercats (the new version), Deadman Wonderland, and I think Trinity Blood or something similar is on there now too. They've been adding a bunch of stuff recently. They had like a 4 part movie type thing called Samurai 7 on there which was pretty damn good.
I agree. Things are starting to greatly improve. McCraken/Faust new show Wander Over Yonder is looking like it will be done soon, so that is pretty cool. The only thing I wish would stop happening is shows getting cancelled too fast.
I made the list earlier. MLP, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls. You could include others there like Regular Show, Phineus and Ferb, etc. But there should be at least double that. We'll get there soon I hope!
