That is totally understandable. The element based powers was not the only reason I watched it. I watched it also for the fighting moves. Since I’m fan of old ninja and karate movies.

Does it have cool character designs? Sorry if this is a bit late. It’s really good, short and sweet with some great character designs, and the music fits so well. It’s lighthearted, but turns dark at times as well. Link to post Share on other sites

smittyw Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Ooooh, I'm glad I ran into this thread!! I love Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Bojack Horseman, Adventure Time, and the Simpsons, and I'm sure I am forgetting a few more. I used to really enjoy ATLA too but never watched the whole thing. Cartoons are the greatest. I wish I were caught up on SU though, apparently I'm behind by 2 or 3 episodes because I've been relying on my TV rather than the CN app... :'o The Big Show is the last I've seen, and I want so desperately to find out the gems' reactions to the Off Colors and good ol' pink Lars. What are some of your guys' favorite characters (in SU or in any of your other fave cartoons)? Mine would probably be Connie, Sadie, and Pearl, though it's hard to choose; and for Bojack I am waiting on more character development for Yolanda the axolotl (gotta have that representation, plus axolotls are so cute).

Ivory__ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 My favourite cartoons are The Amazing World of Gumball, Pop Team Epic ( I think it's a cartoon/meme-anime series now, anyway ) and The Simpsons. I used to love watching Popeye when I was younger and refused to sleep if my dad didn't put it on the TV Link to post Share on other sites
smittyw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @_DEVIN_ oooh yeah, tawog is so cool to watch! I love that they use so many different animation styles just for different characters, it must take a lot of talented animators to make it look the way it does! Pop Team Epic is pretty new to me, but I've seen clips of it and it looks really interesting. Most of my knowledge about it is completely out of context, but I get the feeling there is no story, just a lot of mini episodes? Link to post Share on other sites

I think that her loss and grief are portrayed accurately and respectfully. I am quite fond of Pearl's sword-fighting skills; I used to be a fencer myself and I hope to continue fencing again in the future. I have similar mannerisms to Pearl and I find her behavior and mentality to be relatable. It is great to have an intellectual and queer character in a Cartoon Network cartoon.

smittyw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @Ace Ninja Pearl is relatable a lot of the time for me, too. I love that she is so often caught between her logical nature and her love for Steven and the gems. It really shows that she is trying her best to relate to and care for them, even if she doesn't always know how. And the representation that SU has is so great... they handle all different types of characters with respect and never paint anyone as inherently bad/evil, I think that is a good way to look at the world. It's so cool that you used to be a fencer!! I am so impressed by people who practice uncommon skills like that. On the opposite end of the Pearl spectrum, I used to take dancing lessons for years, though I was never great at it. Hahah Link to post Share on other sites

It is awesome that you took dancing lessons. I always wished that I had some better dancing skills, even though my family would be the only people who would ever get to see me dance. I think that if I tried dancing, I would want to do solo routines rather than dancing with a partner. Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I needed some Phys. Ed. credits during college, so I took fencing one semester and ballroom dancing another semester. I enjoyed both. Link to post Share on other sites

smittyw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @Ace Ninja Thanks! I agree, dancing with a partner would be much harder and more awkward than solo, although personally I think it is the most fun to dance with a group of people, so if you are nervous at least there are lots of other dancers feeling the same way! @daveb Ballroom dancing sounds like a good PE credit for sure, maybe if I took lessons on that instead of tap dance I wouldn't be so useless at formal events, lol.

I enjoyed it back then, but it's been too long (25 years or so) and I haven't danced since so I've pretty much forgotten everything. I never really have had any chance to do it since the class ended.

Ivory__ Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @smittywI love how they make use of different animation styles too, I really adore it and its unique-ness. The characters are all sweet and have fleshed out personalities. Even the minor characters have their own lives within the show which is usually forgotten about in most others I've seen! It makes me laugh whenever they bring in a pop culture reference or satire of some sort too. Also, Darwin is too pure for this world. At first I didn't understand what PTE was because it's not your everyday show, but it's great! The whole of it can pretty much be taken out of context and you're 100% right- it's a series of really interesting and silly mini episodes that don't really have any point to them, but it just has this way of making you laugh and question what you're doing with your life, as you do. It's weird but In a good way. One of my favourite scenes is this ( it just gets progressively more violent as time goes on ... and that style change is just 10/10 ) : Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites
smittyw Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Lol, the one ep I remember seeing was with them being infamous criminals, and eventually faking Popuko's death so they can escape. I love that there is no premise, and also they seem to be in a relationship in some scenes? It is pretty cute ^^ @_DEVIN_ And yeah, it's so fun when they dedicate entire episodes of Gumball to background characters you thought were never going to be seen again. Darwin is so adorable, I agree! Link to post Share on other sites

Phineas and Ferb Spongebob Squarepants [older episodes] Ed, Edd, n Eddy The Amazing World of Gumball Adventure Time Ben 10 [original series] Powerpuff Girls [original series] Dexter's Laboratory The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Loony Toons Animaniacs I'm sure I'll think of even more later on, but god do I love cartoons.

smittyw Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 YES I love old Spongebob eps, Phineas and Ferb and og Powerpuff Girls!! I used to watch them all the time. I remember the few times I watched Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends it was really good. And one that hasn't been mentioned, but which I will never grow out of: Chowder! @darvyn (I was a CN baby too. lol) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 To start, you have to go back to 1981 or so where you have Thundarr the Barbarian by Ruby/Spears, a company consisting of two writers from Hannah/Barbera with character designs by the one and only Jack Kirby. Then jump to the 90s where you have the brilliance of Peter Chung showcased in Aeon Flux, driven by manic action the whole first season had only one episode with any dialogue: a single word "Plop". Then you have the psychotic yet beautiful work of Satoshi Kon, a master of anime who was taken far to early. Finally you have Justice League Unlimited, the best representation of the DCU to ever grace the airwaves. So, those are some of my favorite and I hope you check them out, you won't be disappointed.

DazzlingGirl16 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 My favorite cartoons are Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Miraculous Ladybug, and Sonic the Hedgehog (excluding Sonic X). The cartoons I watched as a child were Jimmy Neutron, Mickey Mouse (I have a soft spot for Goofy), VeggieTales (as a little girl; I have a soft spot for it), Animaniacs (as a preteen), and Fairly OddParents (That's all I can remember) Link to post Share on other sites
