The ILX Animated Series Poll Results Thread is part of this complete breakfast

i'm more of a tangled fog of pulsating yearning in the shape of a woman, myself.

"Bojack... Horsmack?"

did you say your name was 'chadwick boseman'?

The thing about Bojack is that it's really clever and funny, to the point that it is really 2 shows in one. The endless stream of anthropomorphized animal jokes in the background and scene transitions hit more often than they miss. And Amy Sedaris constantly reciting intricate tongue twisters! But you have to get with the depressed stuff in order to be a fan, I think. And it has definitely felt for the last few seasons like they want to move the characters and plot forward, but largely fail to do so.

last bad depressive episode I mainly just watched Roy Andersson films, don't know if I could face watching them now, should I watch the horse cartoon y/n?

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement though.

While I personally have no desire to bother watching again this decade, it was funny, sharp, and teaching kids a strong lesson about rapacious capitalism. I figure South Park's demographic has always been 12-22 year olds, and based on that two-ep taste they're still making something worthwhile for those viewers. Any time I've seen two minutes of Simpsons in the last 17 years, I can't tell who would enjoy it at all.

Depressed horse show is great, but I'm several seasons behind bcz I still prefer my Hanawalt on paper.

my post was not meant to be serious, i've watched the first season of bojack and it's alright

lol sorry about that ciderpress

definitely need to rewatch bebop now that i'm deeper on anime, i suspect it holds up great

Never caught on for me when I watched it (3 or so years ago).

i rented the first dvd around 2002 and the story seemed to be an excuse for the action scenes. didn't continue.

let's jam

TOO LOW
fuckin' love me some space cowboy

also (nearly in-)arguably the best soundtrack in television cartoon history
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65E33789AA7052BC

the entire first couple years of the Adult Swim programming block were such a gift

the fact they were able to license Cowboy Bebop, and get Mission Hill after it was ditched by the WB, was just icing on the cake

the best adult swim show is still to come

i would strongly recommend anyone who wrote this off give it another spin; it's got its flaws but for animated sci-fi noir it is upper echelon

the soundtrack is so perfect

I couldn't get into Bebop first time around, then it suddenly clicked years later when I randomly caught an episode marathon on TV. I basically love it all now.

I'm slightly surprised by Animaniacs' high placing. No complaints though!

Cowboy Bebop will be the highest placing non-USA show, yes?

no

fingers x'd for Pat & Mat

For non-US shows, I'm presuming The Adventures of Tintin must still place.

there's still an anime to place - probably in the top 3

gotta catch em all

just kidding

Oh yeah, I know which anime you mean.

I tried to watch it years ago, but couldn't get into tone of the series at all... Maybe I'll retry it one of these days, now that it's all on Netflix.

also unless i miscounted including the simpsons at least 4 more Fox animated shows?

Can't believe I forgot to vote for the Pokemon theme tune in the side poll. I like the cartoon but never got into it properly enough to vote for it (having said that, I could probably still do the whole Team Rocket spiel off the top of my head).

i also forgot to vote for the pokemon theme, dammit

Omg I forgot to vote for Pokemon

you did not catch them all

we failed to pokemon go to the polls

We going down to 11?

xp Relatedly, congrats Ash Ketchum for finally winning the Pokemon League.

i heard it's not a legit championship don't @ me

They're waiting on the results of the b sample is what I've heard.

i remember watching the first episode of this, as a kid, thinking i had aged out of nicktoons. then i kept with it and i figured out i was wrong

every gag involving them realizing they live underwater is excellent but my fave is when they realize it and the campfire they've been sitting around immediately goes out

oh it's the show from the memes

Another example of knowing more about cultural references shooting off of it than knowing the actual show; i've never seen one full episode.

spongebob is genuinely funny and it deserves to be the cultural touchstone that it became.

though it could never have been #1 because of smitty werbenjagermanjensen. he was #1.

SpongeBob may have entered permanent child culture

AtLA is the best American shonen-style show.

ok this must be the one Mordy thought would be top 3 right? all America from here on out?

oh this is American lol
