TMNT (87 and 03)
Animaniacs
Pinky and the Brain
Duck Tales
Darkwing Duck
Tail Spin
Gargoyles
X-men
Spider-man
Batman TAS and the rest of the DCAU

EDIT: I did really like the Gummie Bears too.

[Hordak]

Darkwing Duck was a good one! Great bad guys! Loved the episodes when they teamed up! Dungeons & Dragons & C.O.P.S were cool too!

[Cipher]

I'd just be echoing shows already mentioned, but Beast Wars/Beast Machines really needs to be on everyone's list. Overwhelmingly the best Transformers series made.

[Hordak]

I have yet to see all of those. My uncle has them & keeps telling me I need to see them. I have just always been partial to G1 & their characters. And even though you might be echoing us it would still be cool to see how you rank your top 10 or 12 (or however many) shows!

[GK Punk]

GI Joe
TMNT (87)
Masters of the Universe (Both)
Sailormoon
Batman/Superman TAS (counting it as one)
Transformers
Winx Club
Robotech
ThunderCats
X-Men 90s

[ToTheNines]

I was watching Superman TAS this morning as was just thinking how well it's aged (All the DCAU stuff did/will probably). I know it wasn't that long ago, but I love how they could easily sell this as a brand new series even today.

[Jester]

How could I forget Johnny Bravo?

[GK Punk]

I like Gobo's idea of going to almost 20. I was working really hard at just picking 10. MASK, SilverHawk's the old CN Originals and more would all be really good picks.

:o You listed series that don't involve Rob Paulsen. *tosses Jester a cookie* You've earned it. :P
Um. What now?
Whoops! I meant DiC. :embarass:

[GK Punk]

Ok, that's kinda what I thought you meant. It was the sillier GI Joe, I could see a confusion with Filmation.

[Jester]

:o You listed series that don't involve Rob Paulsen. *tosses Jester a cookie* You've earned it. :P
I checked my list against Voice Chasers and only 3 series I listed don't have Rob in them at some point:
TMNT 2k3
Tail Spin
and 90's X-men....

Man he's prolific...:D

EDIT: He wasn't in Johnny Brovo either.

Clerks was great if neutered and short lived. :P

[Hordak]

Wow not as many '80s toons showing up others list like I thought! More Disney than I expected. I love toons(especially '80s) & its cool to see different peoples views on them with their likes & dislikes. I noticed some adult tunes listed then I am gonna have to mention I love Family Guy & The Simpsons. I used to love watching that Nick Toon, Ahh! Real Monsters! as well.

[Warhorse]

Add all of Warhorse's minus Rainbow Brite to my list.

I had to be honest. But it was really the horse that I thought was awesome. Have met more than my share of real Starlights named in his honor!

[GK Punk]

It's funny, out of all the girly shows I've liked and watch, that for some reason was the only one I really just couldn't get in to. :lol:

[The Terror of Death]

Make way for the most ginormous post in the thread. :embarass:

Top five:

1. Yu Yu Hakusho: The definitive fighting anime. Other shonen wish they could be half as cool. Its my all time favorite anime due to its memorable main cast that grows with every arc. It also gives its huge assortment of villains and minor characters just enough personality and characterization so that they are all pretty likeable and unique. Witty dialogue that never fails to make me laugh. Fight scenes that never get stale and manage to do an awesome job of mixing weapons, martial arts, and flashy powers. Has some occasional gruesome violence and death scenes but is never too dark. Solid pacing with no filler whatsoever. Good drama and decent story that takes itself seriously but never makes the show feel like its an excuse to see people fight.. Has one of the greatest anime dubs that surpasses the original Japanese. Its only flaws are the weak animation and repetitive bgm, but the crew uses them efficiently enough so that they rarely subtract from the shows overall enjoyment.

2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003: My favorite western cartoon that has one my four favorite protagonists. It has excellent presentation and really fluid animation that really helps the action scenes stand out. Despite being a 4kids production it can be surprisingly dark at times, has a large amount of continuity, somewhat realistic PG violence, innovative presentation, and solid voice acting. Later seasons take a dip in quality, there a ton of rehashed story elements, the bgm is okay but mostly forgettable , and the writing could be better for some episodes but overall it’s a fun cartoon that always brings a smile to my face.

3. InuYasha: The master of repetitiveness. A lot of episodes are similar in story and structure but somehow it manages to entertain me every time. Has a good blend of everything; action, comedy, drama, romance, fantasy, and even a touch of horror and suspense. One of the few anime who has more filler than canon but is still enjoyable. I thought season one is okay but afterwards its extremely good and the writing is pretty consistent. The opening and closing theme songs are awesome. The characters could use some more development and most of the villains aren’t that memorable.

4. Avatar The Last Airbender: My words cant do this show justice. Pretty much everything about it is superb. The story, fight scenes, animation, designs, voice acting, comedy, characters, presentation, etc. The amount of detail that goes into this show is simply astounding. One of if not Nickelodeons best shows.

5. Rorouni Kenshin: This show has a lot of charm. The characters are well written, the fights scenes have good length and excellent choreography, some of the filler actually manages to feels like canon material, the bgm is top notch and is probably my favorite of any anime. However, the last season is pretty sucky and the last ten manga volumes were never animated due to low ratings.

No particular order:

.hack//Sign: Despite the setting being a videogame there is a minuscule amount of action and the fantasy elements don’t play as big of a role as one might think. It’s mostly a character driven story that moves at a leisurely pace and has some mystery. Also, the visuals and characters designs are a real sight to behold. The last episode leaves some unanswered questions that can only be found by reading online summaries or a play through of the real life videogame but its still pretty satisfying.

Justice League: What can I say except that this show is fricken epic. A superheroe fan’s dream come true. A likeable cast, brawl til you fall fights, and great continuity. The storytelling, especially season 2, is exceptional, so it contains some of my favorite episodes in all of animation.

Gantz: Often mislabeled as a being nothing more than an scifi anime with gratuitous violence, swearing, and nudity. It has a deeper subtext that many either wont get or will pretend doesn’t exist. The, jerkhole characters, graphic violence, incessant cursing, and tons of nudity makes the show feel much more realistic. Its dark, relentless, and no holds barred but I learned to like the main character a bit more as it progressed and I was able to get the bigger picture the story revealed. Some of the dialogue and voice acting for the English dub is both good and hillarious.. Its one of the many anime I wish had continued and had adapted more volumes of the manga.

Teen Titans: A wonderful fusion of funny dialogue, quirky humor, great characters, awesome fight scenes, great attention to detail, and sometimes dark storytelling. There should have been a another season or a better DTV.

Berserk: A awesome dark fantasy epic that can be summed up as the Shakespeare of anime. The fight scenes and animation could have been a lot better but it has probably the best written and most epic stories in an anime. A must watch and the manga is a must read.

The Batman: It can be pretty inconsistent but when its good its good. The presentation is unique, animation fluid, and the fight scenes have a sense of speed and scope the likes of which I rarely see. The designs, characters, and comedy what appeal to everybody but I liked them well enough. Oh, and the bgm’s pretty awful.

GunGrave: First half is an awesome story about two guys moving up in the world of organized crime. I didn’t like the second half due to the more scifi and action oriented second half but its still pretty decent.

The Spectacular Spider-man: Covers quite a lot of material in the small amount of episode but it never feels overbearing. Its funny, well animated, and has some of the best and consistently well choreographed fight scenes in animation. I really wish there’s more seasons.

Guyver The Bioobosted Armor: Superhero type anime that has some surprisingly real and long term consequences. Great pacing and the battles are nothing outstanding but still quite fun. Kind of reminds me of an anime version of that stuff like sentai and Kamen Rider.

Gargoyles: I just started watching it but I really like it so far. Awesome mature story with great animation and characters. Action inst half bad either.

Pokemon: Good harmless fun. Its not as complicated or well written as other shows but I’m still a fan to this day and the action scenes have really gotten slightly more complex and better animated through the years.

Don't know what to write about but still love; Batman The Animated Series, Death Note, and Fullmetal Alchemist,

[Warhorse]

Ha, LMAO, and on my list, minus She-Ra, RBB is the only girly show on there! I could never get into Gem, or Lady Lovely Locks (OMG, I can't believe I can still remember that crap!) My Little Pony (and this is coming from a horse enthusiast.)

Hmm, I might expand on my list. I'll also add

The Littles
Scooby Doo
The Simpsons
Dennis the Menace

[GK Punk]

I actually love Jem for some reason haha. My ex girlfriend even gave me a few of the dolls from the series, and I have the DVDs that came out. I think it's the ties to music that I like about it though. And the character designs I also dig. Love She-Ra though. When I was a kid, I liked her show better than He-Man.

[Warhorse]

Hmm, I'm watching 80's cartoon intros on youtube to jog my memory, and I never recalled Robocop becoming a cartoon??!!??
Don't remember Fragglerock becoming a cartoon either. I remember the muppet show.

Oh, I forgot, The Smurfs! Loved that show.

[Raph's Girl]

Gargoyles: I just started watching it but I really like it so far. Awesome mature story with great animation and characters. Action inst half bad either.

With Gargoyles it's only the first 2 seasons that are canon. Goliath Chronicles isn't except for the first ep cuz Greg Weisman left after that. Disney likes to screw him over. For the true 3rd season get the SLG Comic series. Vol 2 TPB just came out today. As well as Bad Guys (one of the spin-offs...and the only spin-off to make it to comic form).

I hope the other spin-offs (Pendragon, Time Bender, ect) make it to comic form someday..

[ThirdMarioBro]

Funny how our lists are all going to look the same. I'm not going to try and number them.

Doug (from the Nick years to the Disney years, I related to that show in many ways. I grew up with Doug)
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (The anchor of the Nintendo generation)
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 (The definitive Mario cartoon)
The New Super Mario World (Mama Luigi...nuff' said)
Batman: The Animated Series (finest thing ever laid to paper)
The Simpsons (Never will get tired of them. Glad they're still around).
Family Guy (Ladies and gentlemen...sphincter. That is all)
Disney's Aladdin (Had more balls than most people remember)
The Little Mermaid (Sue me :P )
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The only Pooh spin-off I ever liked. Such a warm show)
Inspector Gadget (the first season, before it wussed out, added Capeman, and dropped Cree Summers from the cast)
Rocko's Modern Life (SPUUUUNKY!)
Ren & Stimpy (I can recite Happy Happy Joy Joy to this day)
Muppet Babies (there's a show we'll never see on DVD)
TMNT (the first five episodes at least. Everything else I lost interest in because it got so kiddy and forgettable. I was a movie TMNT fan, less of a TV fan).
Animaniacs (quite possibly the funniest cartoon ever made)
Tiny Toons (ushered in a golden age of TV animation comedy)
Street Fighter II V (completely unfaithful to the canon, but awesome in a 'alternate version' type of way)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic had his highs and lows, but SatAM was his highest point. Sonic Underground and "Adventures of..." can go to hell though)
