The Red Sky seasons, 4Kids TV series, Gargoyles, Spawn the Animated Series, and even Batman the Animated Series are all little known shows from the 1990s and 2000s to most people.

How come you don't think Batman TAS was influential? it and X-Men were huge smash hit shows on fox even appealed to teens and adults alike.
How does Akira factor into all of this?

How do you know Batman TAS and X-Men TAS were huge smash hit shows on FOX that appealed to teenagers and adults of the 1990s? Can I please see your citations for this?

I’m strongly inclined to say that the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers were the biggest force of any programming block on FOX from the mid 90s to the late 90s because the best-selling Christmas toy lists in the USA online perfectly illustrates this.
