Any good action/adventure cartoons?

I'm watching the Avatar marathon on Nick right now. It's a really good show! Really nice animation, good writing, and clever action scenes. Thanks to those who recommended it on this thread.

I taped the marathon, although a time conflict prevented me from taping the first two episodes. I don't care what show it is, nine hours is way too much for me!

I don't know if this show follows the He-Man or Thundercats tradition, but I spent all afternoon watching episode after episode of "Avatar: The Last Air Bender" on Nickelodeon. I watched a good 3 hours of it...I'm hooked. This would make a great campaign setting and concept, IMO.

I agree with Rackhir. Although they are nominally comedies, both Venture Brothers and Invader ZIM have some excellent action sequences, ZIM especially. The animation in that show is brilliant (and very, very expensive - one of the many reasons for the show's cancellation). ZIM has the benefit of being currently available on DVD, but Venture Brothers is still on the air, on Cartoon Network.

Demiurge out.

Avatar is good but I still think there is much to improve IF this was done an adult themed/more teen aged themed show. Certainly the fact I'd enjoy it along side say Naruto if Avatar was redone in a more adult theme. Even so, it's a good show and I'm glad Nick has it. If only because I think it needs a show like this.

Still am a little peeved Samurai Jack never got a great end, but there was PLENTY to enjoy.

Still my all time favorite, Jack versus Da Samurai. Jack with that bamboo stick against all those robots, STILL a classic.

X-Men Evolution was also a fantastic series. The first two seasons are available on DVD, and the first season even has a 'Season 1' set as well as the four individual DVDs packages.

In an non-related issue, it appears there will be no season 6 for Teen Titans. Stupid CN. (And yes it was their decision not the creators.)

I disliked X:Men Evolution.

 

[Nightfall]

I got over my dislike by the characters themselves. The 90s X-men cartoon was good but honestly I wished they had incorporated aspects of both shows, as they did a great job in one area (IE the story lines in the 90s X-men, the character development in the Evolution ones.) but failed in the other (reverse it around.)

Me and the gf watched the first six episodes of Avatar tonight.

Fun.

It toes the line on being anime enough that I can watch it even thought most anime annoys me, and she can watch it when shes an anime-fangirl.

The show is FUNNY, which is important, and has some nice fight scenes so far. Hopefully it will continue to be this good.

I'll now take my questions about the show over to the Questions about Avatar thread.
