Hey, /co/! I'm here to ask you to call me a faggot and suggest

>>90613095
I'm sorry, reversed order?

Samurai Jack returns today as a serialized miniseries, would be a good time to get a feel for some of the original episodes
Futurama is the godfather of R&M, especially its later seasons
ATLA and OTGW are /co/-required material
WOY does the SU bit of pacifist protag redeeming the bad guy during space adventures, and its musical episode is the peak of the series
GF I think fits most what you like from MLP, fun standalones with big plot moments later

>>90613929
Thank you, anon!

>Samurai Jack
I've heard a lot of good stuff about Samurai Jack and I did consider watching it. The only thing that bothers me is that it comes from the early 2000s which were a time when I really didn't like western cartoon format (as in most of the western cartoon TV shows) - for example, I don't like Teen Titans but consider Young Justice to be amazing. However, I do like Justice League TV show which was released during the same timeframe.
Do old Samurai Jack episodes hold up to the current cartoons if we throw the nostalgia factor out of the window?
>Futurama
I've seen the most of Futurama it's pretty good.
>ATLA and OTGW
I've seen like one-third/a half of Avatar and I admit it is good, but this kind of a story I prefer to get from my animes and mangos.
I will look up Over The Garden Wall - thank you!
>WOY and GF
I've started GF previously and I've seen a bit of WOY (and fell in love with Lord Dominator) - these are both good shows in the style I indeed enjoy, however, I've heard they both got bad finales (with WOY being canceled). How bad is it exactly?

"bad finale" is an understatement for the trainwreck that is alex hirsch's writing, GF is good if you like massive copouts and wasted potential

YOU ARE ONE MIGHTY BIG FAGGOT, ANON
KYS

you should watch the cartoon titled "How to be a respectable human being and not have shit taste"
Since you have taste, go watch Wakfu it has shitty writing and only appeals to the lower element aka u lol

>>90614764
since you have **shit taste

please please excuse me I almost implied that Steven Universe was a good show

damn just typing "good show" and Steven Universe in the same sentence makes me want to kill myself

>>90614721
>GF is good if you like massive copouts and wasted potential
ayy. I can be fine with a mediocre finale when it accomplishes the mission of saying a proper "farewell" to the viewer, and you are really scaring me with that remark.

>Wakfu
I've actually tried it once. Art is good, but it's not my cup of tea.
>Steven Universe
Being cheeky, ain't we?

>>90613095
I think you'd like Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse.
And no, that's not a joke.

I... I might be returning to this from time to time.

You actually think 2010s series have anything on 2000s series? For the record, I didn't even know *of* many of the 2000s series that are now my favourite cartoons of all time, so it's NOT nostalgia - the key difference is that 2000s shows generally had actual effort poured into them, while 2010s shows mostly don't.

It does, and it's mostly satisfying. /co/ is just salty as usual.

>>90616905
/a/ pls go

>>90616816
The whole OST the show has is completely forgettable - the only time I was somewhat impressed was during the first part of Star's Princess Song. It does the job, but I've never caught myself being focused on the music - which is my pretty much only criteria for judging music in such shows.
>>90616905
Sure thing, darling.
>>90616906
That's at least how I see it - based on both my memories of these years (when I was TA for these cartoons) and on how I see them nowadays when I actually got into western cartoons.

>>90617214
To clarify about 2000s shows, it often feels almost as if you're watching the writer's thoughts or something. I *rarely* get that with new toons.

>>90617047
Fuck off. Rec-fagging is killing this board by letting in casuals who don't actually care about the material. But I guess /co/ is way too busy talking about live action to be concerned with that.

>>90617256
We might enjoy different things in cartoons - my favorite show is a huge toy commercial after all.

I feel that modern shows are better at sustaining continuity through series, developing characters and sending messages with just the right level of subtleness - not plainly obvious so it feels like shoved into your face, but not too hidden so you question its necessity. The second season of Star VS did a great job with these messages.

>>90613095
>Star vs.
>The music is pretty meh
pick one

>>90617615
Modern cartoons tend to have *more* continuity, but also *worse* continuity. The admittedly few old toons with continuity tended to have long-term progression of both storyline and character development, while still remaining episodic enough that each individual episode remained enjoyable. New toons tend to just throw in random (and self-aware) references for long-time viewers instead, and often have long stretches of low-quality filler.

Again, this is obviously a generalization, but there are very few counterexamples from what I'm aware of.
