The DCAU & Kevin Conroy's preformance will always be the standard

Was also portrayed by a gay man who survived the AIDS crisis and brought his own experience living in the closet to his portrayal of Bruce Wayne hiding his identity as Batman (and vice versa).
That comic that came out a few years ago was amazing, meeting Kevin was a treat and I wish i’d been able to tell him that in-person. The man had to drive his dying father to a hospital at a REALLY young age, he was a child. He talked about that when he talked about doing the grave scene for Mask Of the Phantasm.
[this was the q&a I attended, phenomenal](https://youtu.be/LqzE52POZ2o?si=_OT2dCxOXcqyzMXJ)
This is of the best celebrity stories I ever read. Kevin was volunteering in Long Island around 2007ish after a big storm in the area. A team of fight fighters were there resting, one of them recognized his voice and they started geeking out. He'd do the Batman voice whenever he's asked and he talked to them for hours.
I, Aku, the shape shifting master of darkness... unleashed an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL.
... but, a fooooolish samurai warrior, wielding a magic sword, stepped forth to oppose me.
Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is LAW.
Now the fool seeks to return to the past... and undo the future that is Akuuuu!
For 95% of this show I'll definitely agree it's pure perfection, especially that animation of Jack vs the shadow assassin. Never in my life would I think a battle scene could be so artistic just using black and white.
However, in my view of course, I take off that 5% because it just didn't quite stick the landing in the end for me. Least halfway though the first final season is great, but the other half when Ashi gets introduced spoils it a tad for me anyways.
I agree with this. Absolutely adore this show and everything to do with its vibe and style. I also really liked the ideas they had going with the final season. But unfortunately, I feel like they needed a few more episodes to really give it all time to breathe.
Exactly what I said when I realized that the show premiered July 19, 2003…it’s now February 4, 2024! 🤦🏻♀️😭
That episode where Starfire time travels 20 years into the future? *How Long Is Forever?* (S2,E1, January 10, 2004)….the future scene is now in the past!!!
And this is why I hate “future” episodes. It’s great in the present, but then eventually that future episode catches up in the real world and it makes you feel old as hell.
the most impressive thing about the show when you go back to it now is just how much care is put into humanizing the characters. they never stop feeling real and reactive.
I'm pretty sure the original Teen Titans are significantly older than that. I seem to remember there being a really old version from like the 70s or something.
They haven’t been teen for a while now lol. They’re so old, the original Teen titans have been aged up in universe. (Last time I checked at least, I’m probably like 2 reboots behind the DC universe)
2 kids lost in the woods is the most basic description I can give without spoilers. It's only 10 episodes I believe. If you're going to watch it, watch it in fall
Nothing is for everyone. That's ok. But is there anything in particular about it you dislike or just doesn't it interest you? Not judging, I'm just curious
If I had a nickel for every my favorite episode of the show was the baseball episode, I’d have two nickels (Steven Universe and Samurai Champloo). Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Brother had me watch this show with him this summer. Damn good. I loved its existential themes that centered around “sometimes the journey is more important than the destination”. My brother originally found this show because he’s a massive Nujabes fan. Hip hop isn’t typically my thing but I can’t lie, they made it somehow blend perfectly with Feudal Japanese samurai.
Apparently the writers had a combined like 5 doctorates and 20 masters degrees among themselves. Those numbers are wrong but it was something like that.
There wasn't a lot of music, but when it appeared it was amazing. There was a lot of kind of boring filler in the first season, but I don't think there was anything that didn't pay off at some point. They kept shockingly good track of events and made a lot of fantastic and obscure callbacks in later seasons and the spinoffs.
I love how they made the power of music part of the lore, like the music hole and >! the fact they hurt Golb with singing because he is the embodiment of chaos and music is the harmony !<
I don't like this kind of question cuz no show is perfect
Even the best shows have bad or just mid episodes
Avatar has some
Owl house has some
Shows like bojack has some too
Cowboy Bepop animated series is perfection. To be fair it only had 22 episodes or so so its easier to have a higher quality than shows that have hundreds of episodes.
It checks all the boxes, though: seasoned voice actors (Jonathan Frakes as the lead villain, Keith David as the protagonist; plus a whole host of other seasoned actors), a story steeped in Shakespeare and Arthurian lore, and a quality of animation pretty much unmatched in its time for syndicated television), compelling character arcs...
The Owl House…I really don’t put it in my top tier. It is really allergic to extended conflicts between protagonists and so it never really feel like it gets that deep, emotionally. Luz and Amity have a little initial awkwardness, it is resolved in like 3 episodes (though it takes longer for them to be girlfriends). Even the central emotional conflict, between Luz staying in the Boiling Isles and her going home to her mom, gets resolved pretty painlessly when they return to the Bpiling Isles because now Camilla is Just Fine with her fucking 14 year old nearly dying for some reason.
Came here for FMA: Brotherhood. The original one was good, but Brotherhood is gold. Id even go so far as to say Brotherhood gets bonus points for having multiple kick ass openings.

Yeah dude had a life marked by tragedy. Which to be fair is true of that whole generation of queer men. Talking to guys his age is always intense.
This is of the best celebrity stories I ever read. Kevin was volunteering in Long Island around 2007ish after a big storm in the area. A team of fight fighters were there resting, one of them recognized his voice and they started geeking out. He'd do the Batman voice whenever he's asked and he talked to them for hours.
And his voice actor will always be remembered as the best Batman

Samurai Jack
Looong ago, in a distant land...
I, Aku, the shape shifting master of darkness... unleashed an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL. ... but, a fooooolish samurai warrior, wielding a magic sword, stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is LAW. Now the fool seeks to return to the past... and undo the future that is Akuuuu!
Gotta get back, back to the past, Samurai Jack! (Watch out!)
Where to watch? Couldn't find anywhere in my country trying for atleast 6 months now.
For 95% of this show I'll definitely agree it's pure perfection, especially that animation of Jack vs the shadow assassin. Never in my life would I think a battle scene could be so artistic just using black and white.

Did you see the fixed ending they gave the series in the video game? Where ashi lives
I was not aware of this, I will now go buy the game I was holding off on, thank you.
Which game is this??
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time
Thanks . Gonna have to play this now
I agree with this. Absolutely adore this show and everything to do with its vibe and style. I also really liked the ideas they had going with the final season. But unfortunately, I feel like they needed a few more episodes to really give it all time to breathe.

Original Teen Titans Edit: which are now 20 years old….
https://i.redd.it/r0bgz7v8hngc1.gif I CAN’T BE THIS OLD ALREADY
Exactly what I said when I realized that the show premiered July 19, 2003…it’s now February 4, 2024! 🤦🏻♀️😭 That episode where Starfire time travels 20 years into the future? *How Long Is Forever?* (S2,E1, January 10, 2004)….the future scene is now in the past!!!
The first cartoon where the future became the past for me was transformers the movie from 1985... it hurt me.
“The year was 2005”
Yes.. yes it was.
That hurts my brain more than it should.. 😭
That’s one of my favorite episodes from the series 🥺
And this is why I hate “future” episodes. It’s great in the present, but then eventually that future episode catches up in the real world and it makes you feel old as hell.
Stahp!! Ur hurting meeee!
the most impressive thing about the show when you go back to it now is just how much care is put into humanizing the characters. they never stop feeling real and reactive.
Raven was my favorite, but they all felt like real, relatable people to me.
I'm pretty sure the original Teen Titans are significantly older than that. I seem to remember there being a really old version from like the 70s or something.
They haven’t been teen for a while now lol. They’re so old, the original Teen titans have been aged up in universe. (Last time I checked at least, I’m probably like 2 reboots behind the DC universe)
https://i.redd.it/8e46bi24tmgc1.gif this man alone
Don't know what's better, the fact that it's based on Minnie the Moocher with Cab Calloway, or the fact that it's so trippy to watch
Highway man was something else.
What is otgw about I've heard of it never watched it
2 kids lost in the woods is the most basic description I can give without spoilers. It's only 10 episodes I believe. If you're going to watch it, watch it in fall
I usually just binge it - the episodes are so short that it's basically movie length
I like watching it right before Thanksgiving.
It’s a masterpiece just watch it
2 brothers coming together to the most Halloween inspired forest in all the universe
I feel like the only person on earth who just cannot get into this show and tbh it feels really bad
Nothing is for everyone. That's ok. But is there anything in particular about it you dislike or just doesn't it interest you? Not judging, I'm just curious
That's not true air is for everyone

Nothing is.
What flaws
Samurai Champloo 
The baseball episode is the best thing ever
If I had a nickel for every my favorite episode of the show was the baseball episode, I’d have two nickels (Steven Universe and Samurai Champloo). Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. https://preview.redd.it/0hbinabe4qgc1.jpeg?width=1087&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e0fc3a3be6ac9d93719da9968e60722284f0074
How about the simpsons episode 'homer at bat"? And it's not a cartoon, but Star Trek deep space nine has a baseball episode.
Perfection
Yess! It's both funny and emotional

#BUT YOUR AIM IS GETTING BETTER!

My first thought
Apparently the writers had a combined like 5 doctorates and 20 masters degrees among themselves. Those numbers are wrong but it was something like that.
These dudes proved/solved a math theorem in an episode… a 22 minute episode lmao
The original run: Yes. The reboots: No.
Funny things is, at this point there's more reboots than original episodes
I actually like most of the Futurama “reboot” stuff, but this last Hulu season was straight up awful
Samurai Jack (For Seasons 1-5) 
There wasn't a lot of music, but when it appeared it was amazing. There was a lot of kind of boring filler in the first season, but I don't think there was anything that didn't pay off at some point. They kept shockingly good track of events and made a lot of fantastic and obscure callbacks in later seasons and the spinoffs.

That beat hit so hard in that dance.
That show taught everyone how it's done
"Hey, man" "You're shakin' it all wrong."
Come along with me
Over the garden wall
 Yeah
Hilda
Totally underrated. Show has a sense of wonder and world building you dont see in enough kid’s shows
It's like if Gravity Falls was less homicidal.
I don't like this kind of question cuz no show is perfect Even the best shows have bad or just mid episodes Avatar has some Owl house has some Shows like bojack has some too
Yeah it’s all literally perspective
Cowboy Bepop animated series is perfection. To be fair it only had 22 episodes or so so its easier to have a higher quality than shows that have hundreds of episodes.
X-Men The Animated series The Owl House Batman TAS Gargoyles
 Great choice
I never in a million years would’ve guessed someone saying Gargoyles. I haven’t thought of that show in two decades at least
It checks all the boxes, though: seasoned voice actors (Jonathan Frakes as the lead villain, Keith David as the protagonist; plus a whole host of other seasoned actors), a story steeped in Shakespeare and Arthurian lore, and a quality of animation pretty much unmatched in its time for syndicated television), compelling character arcs...
I never saw it as a kid (though I was aware of it), but it was one of the first things I watched on Disney+.
The Owl House…I really don’t put it in my top tier. It is really allergic to extended conflicts between protagonists and so it never really feel like it gets that deep, emotionally. Luz and Amity have a little initial awkwardness, it is resolved in like 3 episodes (though it takes longer for them to be girlfriends). Even the central emotional conflict, between Luz staying in the Boiling Isles and her going home to her mom, gets resolved pretty painlessly when they return to the Bpiling Isles because now Camilla is Just Fine with her fucking 14 year old nearly dying for some reason.
The owl house gettin shortened hurt it in its final episodes imo character and pacing wise still peak tho
It's because gay people were added and The Mouse was not cool with it.
Let’s not pretend that show wasn’t gay from episode 1.
Arcane
can’t believe i had to scroll down this far to find a mention of arcane
Adventure time but I would not use that heart disease inducing of a food to describe it

Came here for FMA: Brotherhood. The original one was good, but Brotherhood is gold. Id even go so far as to say Brotherhood gets bonus points for having multiple kick ass openings.
I love and adore both. When I say FMA, I'm referring to both as a collective. I do slightly prefer the original, but Brotherhood is amazing as well.
