[QUOTE="Testament, post: 2080368, member: 21833"] Right, non-American here, with limited, at best, access to CN. Hate and despise ATHF and Powerpuff Girls. Seriously, words cannot even begin to express how much I hate PPG. Space Ghost: Coast to Coast is alright in small doses. Harvey Birdman is a laugh and a half though, and I enjoy Dexter's Laboratory. Teen Titans was a marked let-down, especially after Justice League. Batman: TAS was simply amazing stuff, as was Gotham Knights. Haven't seen any Static Shock or The Batman, so I can't comment on them. I grew up adoring The Transformers, Robotech, Thundercats (great to have them back!), and Silverhawks. Some real nostalgia on CN for me as a result. The Simpsons is pure, unadulterated genius. Always has been. Futurama was great, as is South Park and Family Guy. Anime...love it. Absolutely love it, prefer the more serious stuff usually, although I do have a real soft spot for "Azumanga Daioh!" and "Trigun". Anything by yoshitoshi ABe is great, "Haibane Renmei" stands as an all time favourite, alongside "Texhnolyze", "Neon Genesis: Evangelion" and "Hellsing". "Cowboy Bebop" is the height of cool, listening to the soundtrack right now. "Wolf's Rain" is good, but I'd give my right arm for some bleedin' exposition! "S-Cry-Ed" was fun, as is the series for "Ruroni Kenshin" (prefer the OVAs though). "His and Her Circumstances" is one of the few romantic series I enjoyed, maybe it was having Anno at the helm that did it, I couldn't get into "Ranma 1/2", no matter how hard I tried. Same went for "Inu-Yasha", "Kimagure Orange Road", "Maison Ikkoku" and "Ah! Megami-sama". And I'm counting down 'till I can get my hands on "Full Metal Alchemist". For the record on anime, I'll always give a dub a chance, but on average they last 10 minutes. Worthy dubs were "Hellsing", "Haibane Renmei", "Texhnolyze", and "His and Her Circumstances". "H&HC" is a special case, as watching it in sub requires speed reading. The two greatest dubs, that at least matched or sometimes even bettered the originals were "Evangelion" and "Cowboy Bebop", although all of ADV's dubbing work since seems to have sucked. Oh, and I must get my hands on Gargoyles on DVD. [/QUOTE]
