Oh god I haven't been on in forever, ever since grad school started up my whole life has been sucked away. Super sad to see this place die down. I'm contactable on Skype but be warned I'm pretty bad about consistent chatting, especially with school looming overhead.

Does Rick and Morty count as western animation? I've seen that plenty of times, despite not liking it. Everyone else seems to.

Older shows were mostly ReBoot, Conan the Adventurer, uh, Teenage Mutant NInja Turtles, Xmen/Spiderman/Batman the animated series. I don't know if those count as western. I'm sure everyone remembers Looney Toons, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Thunder Cats, Ducktales, and He-Man.

I remember a bunch of my friends wanted to get together and put on showings of ReBoot at my college, but I never got to see much of it. It came out when I was a really little kid (as did the superhero animated series listed here), so it wasn't on the radar at the time, which is too bad. The most I know about them is what I saw from Channel Awesome reviewers. And yeah, Rick and Morty totally counts! As do other comedy shows like Futurama/Simpsons/Family Guy etc. (I actually really like Futurama, I'd stick that on the list too).

 

 

 

The new series or the old series? The old series is quite good; I enjoyed watching it growing up. The new series is oddball and kind of awkward and I don't enjoy it. The same goes for Steven Universe for me, I think it's too quirky and I don't like it.

 

Having just very recently caught up to the most recent episodes of Steven Universe, I can totally see where you're coming from (I thought it was kind of awkward and weird in the beginning too, some of the writing seemed really strange and overdone), but can safely say the show gets A LOT better once it hits the mid-season 1 finale. By then the world-building aspects kick in and we actually get to learn more about the backstory of the main cast and future buildup to the incoming conflict. It still does give off a bit of that "quirky" feeling once in a while and is definitely not for everyone (no show is), but if someone is looking to try a newer animated cartoon, I'd give it a thumbs up.

 

We shall not speak of Teen Titans Go XD.

The Job system the game used came from Final Fantasy 5. Final Fantasy 4's thing was a five man party and and not having customization for team members (Cecil was your only permanent party member).

 

Oops D:, my bad. Guess that's what I get for not playing much of the FF series.

 

 

This is pretty much why I stopped playing it. Some day, I'll pick it up again and beat it. From the numerous variables pertaining to the time I had to play combined with the game lagging in the last half got me to put it down. I'm glad to hear it gets better after that, but the abyss of gameplay during that time was too off-putting to me.

 

After a certain point in the second half, the game picks up a bit with some really challenging boss battles (won't say how they do that). Would recommend still playing just for that because it's fun to see what hardcore strategy you have to come up just to beat them. There is also a bonus dungeon and some other stuff to do, but you do have to drag through the middle of the game to get there.

Glad you're enjoying the game! The artwork in Bravely Default really is gorgeous. While I found the game to be solid on the story front (the characters were likable, even if the plot falls off hard at a certain point, won't spoil where), the best part was the gameplay, oddly enough. BD essentially takes FF4's job system (I didn't know they took a lot from FF4 until I noticed how similar they were) and refines it, adding some new classes and consolidating abilities. It's a very versatile system for mixing and matching skills, and since the bosses are quite hard (which is practically the main draw of the game) you need to come up with new strategies all the time.

 

The sequel was already announced a while ago, and I hope they will take the best aspects of the first game and refine them a little better.

typical spongebob was better, followed by fanboy stuff. also stephen hillenburg may be making a return to the series, so maybe the next episode or two won't be too bad. invader zim is one of my favorite shows. ren and stimpy before it went to cartoon network was really good. i really enjoyed jonny bravo when it was still played once in awhile. and honestly i'm suprised nobody has mentioned loony toons. i don't mean the crap show that cartoon network made, but the oldschool voiced by mel blanc loony toons was just so great.

 

Yeah I heard about him possibly returning! We could have a comeback sometime in the future. And yeah, Loony Toons was awesome too. They always used to show those older shows on cartoon network alongside the others (Scooby, Loony Toons, Tom and Jerry, etc.).  I wonder if they still do at all. Sometimes I think the kids of now haven't even heard of those shows XD, they aren't as prominent as they once were.

 

I'm too lazy to sort by individual series or make a list, so I will  just ramble. I pretty much agree with Spongebob and how it got worse, but the first few seasons were great. I really liked Avatar: The Last Airbender and also liked parts of Korra, but the latter had a noticeable decline from its predecessor. The original Teen Titans was good. I watched parts of Invader Zim and what I saw of it was good. Ren and Stimpy was pretty good, but I watched it recently and watched the adult comedy version, which was funny. The new series I picked up, Bravest Warriors, actually has a good plot and its actually a good series. Samurai Jack was also very good.

 

Oooo, it looks like the same style as Adventure Time, a miniseries? Speaking of newer shows, Cartoon Network has been airing some new pilots that might get picked up. Unfortunately a lot of them are... lackluster >_< but there's some potential in a few of them.
