I'll just repost what I wrote on another board:

Yeah, I'll give the show a shot. There's so much anime and anime-styled crap out there, though, I'm getting sick and tired of it. I miss American action cartoons sometimes. Thank heaven for Ninja Turtles.

Marvel had a pretty sweet animated universe going back in the 90's. Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, the Hulk, the Avengers (ugh), Spider-Man Unlimited (double Ugh) and I think there were others.

Continuity between shows wasn't always great, and voice actors tended to change whenever there was guest stars from other shows (thanks in part to half the shows being voiced in Canada and the other half being done in LA), but for the most part they were did a really good job and the Marvel Universe felt like a REAL universe.

Hell, Marvel had a decent universe going back in the 80's, too. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Pryde of the X-Men, New Fantastic Four (third Ugh, Hat Trick!), and I think there was a Hulk toon, as well. All had consistant voice actors and animation (from Toei, I believe).

That's what I really want Marvel to do; build up another animated universe like they used to.
