I'm a big anime fan. I'll finish one and jump straight into another. I remember, during my younger days, that I was genuinely surprised that Avatar: The Last Airbender was American made. Obviously looking back now i can tell it's American from the animation style. But the point is, i didn't believe American could create good animated shows.
At the moment, on recommendation from a friend, I am watching Samurai Jack. I have to say, it is amazing. Another that I thought of whilst writing this is Teen Titans, although i never watched it all in order, Thanks to Cartoon Network.
So i want to ask, What is your favourite American Cartoon Series and Why?
For Avatar: The Storyline with it's many memorable and well developed characters. The amount of World building that was done; defining each element and its teachings. A sense of suspense and urgency that is present throughout the series. Also the amount of research that went into Chinese culture to make everything seem that much more realistic.
For Samurai Jack: The simple artwork that looks stunning. The virtuous nature and constant suffering of Jack. The way that some episodes don't even have dialogue but suspense and wonder is still built up. And the fighting scenes which are long and detailed enough to satisfy.
Before anybody else says it, Yes, The Simpsons have over 400 episodes and great Social commentary and Yes, Family Guy is Hilarious but those are so popular that they should go without saying.
