Dude, don't be pretentious. An anime is just a cartoon from Japan.Tanis said:DBZ is an anime, not a cartoon.
There was one episode of that where somebody literally melted, gave me nightmares.Aris Khandr said:Noy jitat! No mention of Pirates of Dark Water?
Awesomness, maybe that cartoon was more popular then i thoughtRogue 9 said:Not true! I loved The Animals of Farthing Wood as a kid in Australia. Australia has a lot more BBC shows on air though than most countries, being a Commonwealth nation and all.
The Simpsons actually started in the 80s and is still going today... It doesn't really qualify, even though I will argue to the death that the 90's episodes were the greatest ever made.Sexual Harassment Panda said:The 90's... The Simpsons?
I chose Animaniacs, because The Simpsons and Rocko's Modern Life weren't options.
And yes, I have watched these with my kids in the last year, and yes, they are STILL AWESOME!Pebkio said:I once spouted a blanketing statement along the lines of "every cartoon of the 90s was terrible".

I stand by that claim... mostly because I added the "mostly" addendum. But even so: Ren and Stimpy, Batman, Gargoyles, Animaniacs; have you guys ever... gone back to watch all of the episodes now that you're not a kid? Sure, there are the occasional classics, but as a whole, they're kind of... terrible.
Oh, and before anyone says it, The Simpsons originally aired December 17, 1989... so it's technically not from the 90s. SUCK IT!
Also, I had said they were terrible in the context of "things you thought were great as kids but now don't so much".
I don't think that matters. It very much peaked in the 90's in terms of popularity(it was EVERYWHERE!) and alot would argue in terms of quality too...as you did.Spade Lead said:The Simpsons actually started in the 80s and is still going today...

That said, Animaniacs was my 3rd favorite, behind Tiny Toon Adventures and Pinky and the Brain.

I'm sorry but, really? Gargoyles? Animaniacs? BATMAN? Those are the shows that most hold up. And I know because I'm a 2000's kid and I'm watching those shows now. I have no nostalgia for them and they're still good.Pebkio said:7Ren and Stimpy, Batman, Gargoyles, Animaniacs; have you guys ever... gone back to watch all of the episodes now that you're not a kid?

Yes. That's why when you take a history of rock class you will study both Black Sabbath and The Beatles. Because they are both rock, just like anime is a type of cartoon.Tanis said:And Black Sabbath is still a 'rock' band, just like The Beatles.
Star wars is Science Fantasy.Tanis said:It's like saying 'what's your favorite Sci-Fi movie' and putting Moon in with a poll that has Star Wars, Star Trek, Blade Runner, and Dune.

I'd almost be angry at you if I didn't feel sorry for you. I've gone back and watched quit a bit. I have, within the last 5 years, re-watched all of Gargoyles, X-Men, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain and Exosquad and aside from the animation being a bit dated all of those series hold up fine. I am currently in the process of re-watching Batman: The Animated Series and not only has the show has aged incredibly well but it has served as a reminder to me just how crap the soundtracks for more recent cartoons are.Pebkio said:I stand by that claim... mostly because I added the "mostly" addendum.
