Nope. Though I've never been too big a fun of the old shows.

[smeeprocket]

there was this renaissance period for Hannah Barbara. Before that they only pumped out absolute garbage. Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory.

Actually, just looked it up and ed, edd, and eddy was not hannah barbara, I should know, they required a very specific style of art. The creator did start as an animator for hannah barbara.

I've never thought of it as an "old" cartoon, though. Was it that long ago?

That time period had a lot of great cartoons in general, and some that got pilot episodes that should have gotten much more.

More than 20 years ago, now.

I remember liking Dexter's Laboratory and PPG, but thought Ed Edd and Eddy was just kinda dumb. I've always been more of one for the action-adventure than the slapstick/goofball comedy, though. Samurai Jack, Batman (lots of Batman shows it seems). For the longest time my family didn't have cable, though so it was mostly KidsWB and PBS I was watching. Any of the CN/Nicktoons stuff I watched before then are things I remember from before gradeschool.

no that';s not right, because I wasn't 14 when those things were running.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy was more about kids' imaginations and being con artists than anything else.

back on topic, ed, edd and eddy, best show or best show ever?

Never liked it... Unlikable jerks who live in a town of unlikable jerks who do unlikable jerk things.

[WillowLuman]

I'm thinking of the wrong shows. Yeah, those shows are just 15 or 16 years old now. Still, pretty old.

Specifically watching anime rape porn and then complaining that anime as a whole is "too rapey" seems pretty odd to me.

Well that is why I watch Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exclusively.

Ohh and Boybots, Creepy Crawlers, and Mummies Alive.

Ok not really, but I chose those for a reason.

Boybots though I can never remember the name of.

And isn't it just the greatest thing ever?

Well, I watched the show for Edd (or Double D as they call him), but he rarely got to shine.

[Mech#4]

Hmm, cartoons I watched:

"Aaaah! Real Monsters!"
"Duckula"
"Darkwing Duck"
"Inspector Gadget"


Probably lots more but I can't remember them right now.

[Neonivek]

Never seen Duckula

But are we forgetting "My Pet Monster" (Or My Pal Monster... I forget...)?

On subject of actual Anime, that sounds about true for media in general (and having not seen much but done a research paper that involved Anime, it seems to be prevalent there). But I'd highly recommend Ghibli if you're looking for positive depictions of women.

On the subject of Avatar, several arse-kicking non-sexualized female characters who get a ton of development, as well as perhaps one of the best female villains of all time. And the style is more different than you'd think at first glance.

Kuvira is awesome. I just wish they hadn't saved her character development for one of the very last scenes she's in though. Before that she's pretty much cardboard dictator who is really good at dancing. She was designed to be the 'anti-Korra' iirc.

[Caz]

I do not like anime because it sucks and has terrible depictions of women.

Watch better anime.

[Mech#4]

Never seen Duckula

But are we forgetting "My Pet Monster" (Or My Pal Monster... I forget...)?

Looking it up, that blue monster looks familiar but I can't say I remember watching it.

"Duckula"; green, vegetarian vampire duck goes on time travelling adventures in his warping castle along with gloomy vulture butler and overbearing, door crushing nurse hen.

Which reminds me, from that series sprang another one that I used to watch; "Victor and Hugo". Two french thieves, who may or may not have been based on John Cleese and Bluebottle from "The Goons", generally manage to mess up even the most straight forward jobs.
