It's really hard to beat classic cartoons. Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry.
You are absolutely right!
They were funny, well written, and were the soul (breakfast cereal was the heart) of our Saturday mornings as kids. They were also the building blocks for most of the modern animations you see today.

Actually, now that I think about it, I was watching Gurren Lagann yesterday and I thought I came across a Porky Pig reference in the forth episode.

I edited my original post that you quoted from (to correct the quote from the show, which is irrelevant). It now reads:



It's a small thing, but discrepancies like that really set off my OCD.

That isn't a platitude. I really do have obsessive-compulsive disorder and it really does make me anxious.
No problem!

Partly because they were actually created for everyone, not just children, which is why the writing is so good. Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Gravity Falls are the start of a return to the views of those times about cartoons.
I completely agree. However I believe that the newer shows are doing it even better than the classics! Don't get me wrong, the classics are, well "classics" for VERY good and justified reasons, but those shows were still testing the boundaries of what animated shows could get away with and what they could be. In essence, they paved the way for these incredible shows we have now by pushing those boundaries!

Also Animaniacs.



I didn't have any other point there, I just wanted to say how much I LOVE this show!

I tried watching Adventure Time... But I had issues with the aesthetic inconsistencies. Finn and Jake are neat characters, but I loose my mind when their heads/eyes grow and shrink.

Speaking of old cartoons, y'all have seen the new Mickey Mouse shorts, right?

They're still going to this day. This one was put up 2 hours ago.


Whoever's in charge of these shorts really nails it.

Speaking of Touhou, I'm a fan of the MMDs that use the robotic Japanese narrator voice for the characters


This is one of my favorites!

I have but one thing to say about Animaniacs.

That's what I'm talking about; such a great, yet dark, series!

Oh and also, I might be one of 2 people in the world who really enjoys the Sonic Boom series. If only because they've finally nailed Tails perfectly (my favourite Sonic character :p )

What if they made a Kid Icarus and another Fire Emblem anime? Would you want to see more action or comedy from it? Ever since I saw Plautena's reveal I've been wanting a Smash anime.
Kid Icarus needs more attention(bias), but if they did make an anime out of it, they should combine the animation form Palutena's trailer and Palutena Revolting Revolution(the shorts with her vs food) with the character expressions from Uprising/Smash 4. I thinkthey could blend in perfectly together. Fir Emblem on the oher hand, do whatever they want with that.

There's only one way to pull a Fire Emblem: Awakening anime: scrap all the currently existing story and start from scratch. Keep some elements. Nobody would mind. I might even decide to watch it, then. Maybe.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Thracia 776 "fog" of war:
View attachment 69561
thank the gods they changed this in later games (as with a lot of things in this game)
>Fog of War

I'm happy Intelligent Systems kept **** ideas like this in the past.

It almost ruined this and FE7 (it was brought back) for me.

I thought the Start of Pokken Tournament was familiar


Also, whoa that is a lot of Gravity Fall jokes. And they are pretty funny XD.

Reminds me a lot of Adventure time.
Gravity Falls is a cartoon show that airs on Disney Channel/XD. The show follows twin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines as they spend their summer vacation in the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, with their Great Uncle Stan. While there, Dipper discovers a mysterious journal in the woods detailing the many supernatural secrets of the town, before abruptly ending with a final warning from the unknown Author. From there, the show centers around the twin's various encounters with the paranormal as they try to uncover the secrets of the town.

Despite being a Disney show, it's extremely good and easily one of the best cartoons to have ever aired. It's got great humor, a compelling mystery, genuine emotions, and a cast of amazing characters. I'd highly recommend checking it out.
An innovative work of art that unlike some other cartoons is worth watching.

Hm, that is an interesting story. Will definitely think about it. Though now I need to find a way to watch the show.

Don't hate...KILL
*shoots Wario*

I was simply acting like what the average Smash fan would react to the sight of a clone. Pikachu Libre may not actually play like a clone, but if we were to apply clone-hater logic here,
Dr. Mario is literally Mario in a doctor's outfit, Pikachu Libre is literally Pikachu in a luchador outfit and is therefore a clone.
Hm, I guess I can she your logic there. Though there are two things that make this situation different.

1. No 2 pokemon are the sane, meaning P. Libre doesn't = Pika, unlike Mario to Dr. Mario
2. Pikachu Libre is a girly girl if you look at her tail. While Pika is a boy

Gravity Falls is a sad but beautiful show...*finds Wario's corpse in bathroom, mistakes it for toilet and...uses it to change a diaper*.



Pit and Toon Link wonder why Dark Pit is in Smash 4, but Viridi, Magnus, and Young Link aren't playable.

It would have to be good, and not mess with Tharja's design.

I mean Pikachu Libre is not going to have the same moves as Pikachu in Pokkén. It could play patiently compared to vanilla Pikachu, while still retaining the speed.

From what I've seen of the humor in Adventure Time... It's not like that. AT tends to throw a lot of weird, random stuff at you without much explanation for a laugh. Gravity Falls' humor is a bit more... thought out, you could say? It's a very clever show that pulls off a wide variety of humor.
I think some of the jokes posted here have convinced me it's likely the type of humor I enjoy more, I'll give it a shot in due time, my youngest sisters also seem to love it, so that's likely a good sign.

Speaking of awesome animated shows, I've been REALLY in the mood to go back and watch Duck Dodgers!



This show was the bomb!
Can't help but remember @Ffamran and one of his older avis.

I'd Like a Fire Emblem 4 or a FE 9 (Season 1)+10 (Season 2) anime by Madhouse (They currently do all the FE CGI cutscenes and animated Death Note, Death Parade and Monster). Perhaps an Awakening Anime, if they just have Chrom talk more about the difference between him and his father.

That would be pretty cool. They had a FE OVA back in the 90s but apparently it wasn't that good. I haven't seen it though.
If Madhouse did make a FE anime, I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad considering Madhouse is a pretty good studio.

That's good to hear. Again, I highly recommend checking the show out, especially while it's still airing. The show is a truly unique experience that you really owe it to yourself to watch. :bee:
