Animation fans I thought that instead of bringing you another review I would instead do something a bit different. That is i'm going to tell you some of my favourite animated shows but instead of sticking just to cartoons like I normally would in this case i'm going to split it in half with the first half dealing with anime shows (Pokemon , DBZ etc) and the other half is going to be strictly cartoons and incase you couldn't tell by the title this is only some of my favourite shows and chances are what I like might not be what you like and vice versa.
Anime
Pokemon
I had to start of with this one it was one of the first anime that I ever watched and while I don't watch it as much now I still do watch the odd movie or two. The fact that this series is still going on is to me freaking insane we are on season 22 right now and as of this writing there have been over one thousand episodes of the show broadcast so that goes to show you that the show is still popular weather or not it's still good tho is open to interpretation.
DBZ
Anybody who saw this show growing up loved it and it was the same for me I watched this show every night it was on. Not only did I watch the show but i've also very recently seen some of the movies and yes that includes the new one which I don't like that much but i've also played some of the games and I was watching Super subbed. There's just something about this franchise which keeps on pulling me back heck it's due to my love of this show that I saw the dreadful Evolution movie and I own the DVD.
Love Live!
I've not specified which one because I honestly love them both and in fact there the only idol anime that I not only watched all the way through but also the only idol anime where I have one of them on DVD. I honestly don't know why anime fans don't talk about any of these shows because they are in my opinion well written , have great comedy and they get you invested in the characters i'll admit the set up for both shows is very similar but that's really the only issue I had.
Fairy Tail
I know that this is the most basic anime that you can like but I like the show it's not the best show by any means and it relies on the power friendship way to freaking much but it's a fun show. Like alot of things this show is also coming to an end but unlike those shows this one could be ending by the end of this year because each series for this show lasts hundreds of episodes so we have a while before this show ends.
Sword Art Online
Another show that not alot of people like but I do i've seen so many episodes of this show that it's unreal. I will agree with people tho when they say that the first season went downhill after the first arc because it did and that's the reason why i've not got the whole of season 1 on DVD I just have the first half because that's the good half and the only arc actually set in Sword Art Online. In my opinion tho this is a great gateway anime because there's a little bit of everything in this show so you could find something you like about it and go looking for more shows that have a similar aspect in them.
Cartoons
Adventure Time
Unlike alot of people I got into this show really late into it's run like it might have been around season 6 or 7 when I started watching it by that time tho all of the character development was pretty much over and done with but I stayed with it because the stories being told where so good. This show blends drama and comedy really well so you could be laughing like mad in one scene and then the next scene later you could be crying your eyes out.
The Flintstones
Without this show we wouldn't have The Simpsons or Family Guy this show is in my opinion one of the greatest animated shows out there. Not because it has any deeper meaning plot lines or has the best animation but because it has great writing. Anyone who's seen the first few seasons of the show cannot deney the fact that the writing for those seasons was the show at it's best and while the writing dipped a little when Pebbles was introduced it straight up went downhill when Bamm Bamm was introduced.
The Simpsons
How could anyone not like this show it's something that we've all grown up with and while that won't always make the show good the fact that it's still going gas to count for something. There's no denying that when this show was in it's heyday it was unbeatable and like The Flintstones in recent years the quality of the show has dipped at least in terms of writing but it's ogd up in quality in terms of the animation.
Robot Chicken
Honestly it would have been so freaking easy for me to put something like Steven Universe on here but I thought i'd go for something that's a little bit out there. For me this show is a great popcorn show and by that I mean you can just turn your brain of and laugh at what's being shown infront you yes there will be some that say the show isn't as funny as it once was and that's fair enough but in my opinion it's still funny.
Batman: The Animated Series
Come on this show just had to be in here it's such a good show and it's one that I highly recommend to lots of people. Without this show we wouldn't have gotten Harley Quinn since she was created for this show and more importantly we wouldn't have got who many people my self included think is THE voices for Batman and Joker that's really all I need to say because everything I could say about the show has been said by many others.
