also a bonus non-toonami gif

 

[Hellwarden]

Was Totally Spies bad?

I remember it being somewhat popular.

 

[cntr]

It was alright. Has the problems of being a 00s cartoon aimed at kids, but it's decent and not an atrocity like some of the others.

 

[Zonic]

Wasn't it also from Canada or something as well, which would explain the art style?

I just remember finding the show weird because it looked like those awful "LEARN HOW TO DRAW MANGA" books with those characters on the cover that looked nothing like manga but that weird Americanized version.

 

[caliph95]

I would defend TS due to my nostalgia it at least entertaining for kids and not as terrible as others

 

[cntr]

It was produced in both Canada and France (because, for some reason, they wanted to market it to the US, and Canada is often used by French productions for that), and a lot of French animation of the time was into that weird anime-esque artstyle, so.

For other examples:
MArtin Mystery

Team Galaxy

and the (from waht i seen) subpar spin off of Spies
Amazing spies:

Does Kappa Mikey count?

....*sigh* why did I watch that as a kid....

 

[cntr]

At least it's not this.

 

[Slamtastic]

Spoiler

I can't believe someone actually okayed naming their show "Lolirock"

toonami should air more frenchime

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Sounds like chan's favourite anime
Seriously though they must be ignorant or there was some cheeky creator.

On the other hand it could be on purpose to attract the crow that would like a show called Lolirock (might as well watch clips and wonder i wasted my time)

Also apparently it was supposed to be a play on LOL

 

[cntr]

I'd be okay with something like Dofus or Wakfu, tbh.

Spoiler

it's not happening though

 

[caliph95]

To save time here is a list i bookmarked

Yeah, and the "i" is supposed to mean "and." But yeah...

 

[HStallion]

The Boondocks is still one of the greatest cartoons ever and has some great anime inspired episodes.

 

[cntr]

Didja know Taku Iwasaki composed the Oban Star Racers OST?

Yeah, and the "i" is supposed to mean "and." But yeah...

What? That's stupid.

The Boondocks is still one of the greatest cartoons ever and has some great anime inspired episodes.

Still need to watch it, but've heard lots of good things about it.

 

[caliph95]

Honestly Lolirock would probably a show i would watch as a kid

Spoiler

(or really early teen)

saying as person who watched Winx and Totally spies as well as the Sabrina cartoon

Didja know Taku Iwasaki composed the Oban Star Racers OST?

Better than whatevr reason to name a kids show lolirock. Not even anime would be this semless

though we had the masterpiece eromanga sensei

 

[Chase17]

Wakfu though

 

[cntr]

still need to watch Wakfu for real but I've also heard nothing but good things about it

 

[Shard]

Dofus was a really underrated anime inspired program.

 

[SigmasonicX]

still need to watch Wakfu for real but I've also heard nothing but good things about it

Note that it takes about 13 episodes to get to the really good parts, and the English dub is rough as hell.

It was made by the Wakfu guys, right?

 

[BatDan]

Still need to watch it, but've heard lots of good things about it.

Only watch the first three seasons. The fourth never happened.

I was never a big fan of Code Lyoko myself. I know that's an older list though because it got some notable stuff missing like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and the new Voltron Cartoon.

My personal rank would got:

Top Tier: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Boondocks, Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Steven Universe

High Tier: Adventure Time, Amazing World of Gumball, The Legend of Korra, Star Wars: Rebels, Symbionic Titan, TMNT

Good Tier: Teen Titans, Transformers Xiaolin Showdown

Average Tier: Ben 10, Code Lyoko, Jackie Chan Adventures; Thundercats, Voltron

Trash Tier: Chaotix, Martin Mysteries, Stormhawks,

Dear God Kill It With Fire Tier: Kappa Mikey

 

[cntr]

I remember really liking Xiaolin Showdown as a kid. The concept alone is so dope.

Only watch the first three seasons. The fourth never happened.

...also noted.

 

[caliph95]

My Life Me is amazing

Spoiler

ly bad

 

[Ray Down]

So I should watch My Life Me?

 

[cntr]

Have you finished watching Cross Ange and Fuuka yet?

 

[HStallion]

 

[BatDan]

So I should watch My Life Me?

If you like abysmal flash animation I guess
Here's the first episode I found on YouTube

 

[Morlas]

Man the early to mid 2000s had some strange programming off the back of toonamis success

 

[cntr]

Western animation got really bad in the mid and late 00s, especially compared to the 90s and early 00s.

Thankfully the 10s are setting everything back right.

That's because most places didn't want to bother. Nick went full tween and CN went live action during that time.

Yeah.

 

[Morlas]

Cn real was a dark time

 

[B-Dubs]

Cn real was a dark time

Especially considering Toonami died at it's height and Titan was sent out to die. Man, Genndy got fucked by that initiative.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Western Animation went full deviantart for a while after the anime bubble popped and they needed to fill that niche but couldn't use anime.

 

[Mizerman]

That's because most places didn't want to bother. Nick went full tween and CN went live action during that time.

Don't remind me.

CN Real...

 

[Morlas]

I never bothered to look but I bet the ratings were terrible for it too

 

[Hellwarden]

I remember Jackie Chan Adventures being dope.

I also remember Storm Hawks, but I think Cartoon Network only showed half of it over here in America.

It was...a show I watched.

 

[cntr]

Jackie Chan Adventures was amazing.

I remember being the Men in Black cartoon being oddly good, especially for a movie-derived show.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The most fun show on the block has the worst ratings. There is no god.

Lupin is no Hunter x Hunter.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I have a Pavlovian aversion to Jackie Chan Adventures after marathoning it in college.

 

[Man God]

Lupin is no Hunter x Hunter.

HxH is just holding Bleach's beer.

 

[cntr]

Beer seems too weak to serve as bleach.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Nickelodean Animation Studios list of productions may have the hardest dropoff I've ever seen. The og Avatar really was the last hurrah.

 

[Morlas]

I tell ya its because we didn't get the full op no lupin the third lupin the third made people tune out
