[Riku]

She prolly meant The Real Adventures, yeah. I also almost wrote The New Adventures (cause we had a translation issue here), and had to google and fix the title. The year reference should be better than the name itself when they look so alike as well.

Tbh I don't recall much about the show. I just recall loving it a lot, along with the Batman one I listed, and always making a lot of effort to be home in time to watch them. Used to have problems with my mom cause I wanted to watch those daily but they were aired at the time catholics pray the rosary :P

--- Double Post Merged, May 29, 2018, Original Post Date: May 29, 2018 ---

I think I only have one left xD Another classic you guys haven't mentioned yet.

I don't remember much either other than I at the same time liked it, but found some episodes scary. The intro was super cool back in the day. Those 3D graphics so cutting edge.

 

[Faust]

I know there is atleast one tied spot. Because I have 7 shows left, there is top 7 left, and I didn't vote for Simpsons.

The Simpsons is 35th-43rd

And you have 6 left...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
@Lomahongva (3) | @Ustegius (1)
(44th-50th)

10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

OH WAIT.

Fuck this multiple series franchise shows

CHANGES

[highlight]Pending[/highlight] Jonny Quest (upon Crescent Jinx's confirmation will disrupt the top 11 making it top 12, my pie chart and the stats)
Incoming: TMNT, and TMNT 2012 as separate entries

What's the new command for highlight?!

 

[Farfalla]

Yeah, the intro was cool. I also liked the animation a lot for that time. And Hadji was a very charismatic and appealing char, imo xD

 

[Riku]

Oh.

Some how I missed Simpsons there. Didn't pay mind to Turtles votes either, just smiled a little to the fact that the original got voted too.

Yeah, it had very cool style for the time. Hadji was definitely my favourite

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
@Lomahongva (10) | @Crescent Jinx (8) | @Farfalla (8)

1996-1997
Creators: Peter Lawrence and Takashi Masunaga (Based on Jonny Quest by Doug Wildey)
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Sci-fi
Seasons: 2 Episodes: 52


But wait....




There's a contradiction in your PM.

The New Adventures's of Jonny Quest's original release was on: September 14, 1986 – March 1, 1987 so technically not in the 90s.

On the other hand, I assumed what you're actually referring to is The Real Adventure's of Jonny Quest that was release on: August 26, 1996 – April 16, 1997 aka "the one in the 90s"

Sorry for bringing this up late!
Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit the list (Fuck! )

The House M.D./Dr. House phenomena strikes again?! Hopefully not...

Gomen, meant the real adventures of Johnny Quest. From the 90s.

 

[Xadyu]

Jonny Quest! I was hoping that was still in here somewhere, I didn't pick it because it has very obvious flaws, but goddamn, that's a great fucking show (and franchise).

@Ustegius giving kudos to TMNT '12 is great. It's definitely one of the better things in the entire franchise, and definitely the best media of the franchise brought to screen. I was really hesitant and scared before it came out, the style was also weird at first, but that show is incredible!

@Organizized Not seeing JQ is really making me disappointed in you, that shit's so wrong man. So, yeah, you need to make new weekend plans. That's for sure.

 

[Faust]

Changes:

Total of entries increased by 1 (76 to 77)
TMNT 4 dissected to:
TMNT (3) (Ranked #63-58)
TMNT 2012 (1) (Ranked #77-70)
Unique/Popular Picks (pending)

:ugh

No more mistakes please

Congrats @Ustegius you're no longer 10/10 for popular picks, 9/10 now with one unique pick.

[Faust]

Thanks. *sighs of relief*

So just the TMNT minor issue.

 

[Xadyu]

Actually..


When I said Batman Beyond, I actually meant the series beyond the Batman: Animated Series. So that would be The New Batman Adventures.

Whoops?

[Organizized]

@Xadyu I don’t believe you. If only because that’s clearly the lesser series of the three.

Yeah, it was exactly that. I knew the original was gonna get a mention, and I really wanted to give hand to 2012. Imho it is the best iteration of the franchise up to date. Has it's flaws as well, but pays wonderfully homage to the older versions, has an excellent sense of humour, and while I was iffy about it going 3D, it has a fantastic visual presentation as well. Love how it blends 2d effects with 3d animation. Funny, respectfull of its roots, but gives it' own unique spin and flavor to the franchise.

Really hoping the 2018 series surprises me like 2012 did.

At first I was really scared, because the little one shot things they did before were horrible. T(MN)T Go, kids in turtle mechas... Ugh. Atleast the Invader Zim Turtles was pretty cool.

I hated the new designs at initial release. Then they released the action figures and I thought those looked pretty cool as toys. The saw some teaser footage, and it started to feel like the style is something that needs to be seen in motion, as the animation seemed really good in those. Fingers crossed its another success.

 

[Faust]

There's more than three.

 

[Organizized]

There's more than three.

I meant the three he mentioned.

 

[Xadyu]

One of those shows I’ve heard of a lot but never seen a single second of, as far as I know.. totally flew under my radar, both growing up and when trying to predict the top ten.

I think I’ve got the final seven down now. If I’m right that means neither King of the Hill nor The Venture Bros. got a single point, which is slightly surprising for a list like this. But if one of those two are indeed in the top 7, I’d be even more surprised that one of the ones they knocked off got diddly-squat instead. Guess we’ll see.

Both great shows, could definitely be up there, I know I didn't have them on my list though. But I still have a couple slots left.

Just let me do this

Yeah, definitely the best thing of the franchise, I've got mad love for the OG cartoon, but that wasn't good when it came out, and the years didn't do it any good.

I hope the 2018 is going to be good, the style is really throwing me off, I'm expecting a more comedic show, a le Teen Titans Go or the new Power Puffs, and I absolutely despise April's new look, not that they changed her race or anything, but just her entire look. She looks like a sassy old housemother, or maybe even schoolteacher/librarian. It doesn't fit, at all. I like all of the rest though.

I haven't seen any of these one-shots, didn't even know those existed. But this only makes my fear seem more reasonable.

I haven't seen the series myself but here's two of our participants that has something to say about the series:

7th - Gravity Falls - A series which I can watch time and time again with my daughter, she never gets tired of it (and it's much better than some of the other crap which she likes). To be honest, I dunno why I like this series as much as I do. Guess it's all the science

9. Gravity Falls (2 points)

Same situation as #8. I'm very late on the ball with this one, so even though it's short I haven't finished it since I started watching it about a month ago. How I haven't watched it before now is beyond me - it's an absolute joy of an adventure with not a dull moment so far.

Way to represent guys! It hurt me not putting this one in.

 

[Organizized]

(For the record, the “situation” with my #8 - Steven Universe - and this one is that I still haven’t completed/caught up with them, but if they keep going at the rate they’re going they’d likely place higher than I put them now.)
