    Hmm, leaving out anime…

    • Futurama (excluding Comedy Central era)
    • Avatar: The Last Airbender is styled like an anime but isn’t
    • Invincible
    • Bob’s Burgers
    • Gargoyles
    • Street Sharks
    • Interstella 55555
    • Heavy Metal
    • Metalocalypse

    I know there are more but I am sputtering just now.

    1. Miraculous

    It’s Dork Diaries but with superheroes, keeps going by a reset button ability and a gordian knot dual-inverse love triangle.

    Marinette is the for me most relatable protagonist i’ve ever seen.

    1. Angelo

    A guy with huge eyes and (probably) ADHD goes to school and has plans for how to not learn. The episodes with Tracy are usually the good ones.

    Angelo explaining his plan.

    1. Robin Hood (the one by method animation, idk what its named in english)

    Robin Hood but they’re all kids. Cartoon physics in 3d. Cartoon logic too. However, they very quickly ran out of ideas so most episodes feel almost identical.

    Marian’s spells seem to have an 80% rate of something going wrong.

    Cartoons as animation or cartoon strips? Do you call anime and 3d cartoons also? (That could offend so many people :D )

        One of the newer one I liked:

        Centaurworld

        My Adventures with Superman

        The classical 90s ones and early 2000s on top of the others already mentioned. Not in order: Animaniacs, Batman the animated series, Rugrats, Hey arnold, Dexters laboratory, Powerpuff girls, Justice league, Teen Titans, The Angry Beavers, Ben Ten, Kim Possible
        For cultural reference: Ren and Stimpy, Courage, the cowardly dog, Cow and Chicken, Jhonny Bravo
        The Disney series: like Duck Tales. Tailspin, Gummy bears,

        These are top of my head. Yes I do love cartoons. And anime too.

    If not anime, then Regular Show. Despite most episodes covering a new topic each episode, many references from older episodes show up in future episodes. Additionally, each season’s overarching story is really good.

    Made by the Futurama and Simpson guys, a Matt Groening show. More of a fantasy show with heavy comedy than a comedy show. Very, very strong continuity between episodes. This thread reminds me there are probably a new season or two out by now I need to go watch.


    I watched this in the wake of K-Pop Demon Hunters. I am not the biggest fan of its animation aesthetic, but I got used to it. What caught me off guard is that the writing is pretty solid. This is also a very strong continuity show, one long plotline. Can you tell my interest in episodic animation is dead, now?


    Honestly, it has been a very long time since I’ve watched this, but I feel like it should get a special mention. I dunno if it would stand the test of time, but it was both incredibly refreshing for the time (2004) while also parodying a lot of anime and videogame stuff I loved.


    A show I was obsessed with for a few years. Metalocalypse was king of media in my life for a while. I had the first two Dethklok albums on CD. One of my most recent regrets is I had tickets to see Dethklok and Babymetal together in concert and did not go because depression was eating at me, and I just didn’t want to go out. That was so fucking stupid. I want to punch my past self.

      Fuckin love Metalocalypse. And it gets kind of intense towards the end, I still need to watch Army of the Doomstar. Doomstar Requiem is honestly probably one of the best albums I’ve ever heard from any band ever.

      Also, I used to love Megas XLR too. Such a weird “rule-of-cool” show. An alien shows up with a device that turns your car into a giant mech? And then you have to defend your planet (and the galaxy) from giant creatures? Hell yes.

    Mother. Fuckin.

    SWAT KATS

    Two junkyard bros who also happen to be super engineers, create this badass jet that has all kinds of awesome weapons and tactical capabilities, and they use it to become vigilantes to save the city from evil and destruction.

    Fuckin AWESOME theme song

    Justice League/Justice League Unlimited

    Great storytelling (imo) and action. Maybe not so much the music (aside from the theme songs).

    Young Justice

    If you enjoy superheroes/DC, this is a cool show about the sidekicks splitting off and kinda doing their own thing but still working with the Justice League. They mainly focus on covert missions like going undercover to break into secret superpower smuggling rings and things like that. It does get a little bogged down in some “personal” stories and relationship stuff, but imo it’s bearable and balanced out by the action and overarching story.
