Most underrated cartoons (non anime)

I'm assuming this isn't technically considered anime, but I'm going to have to go with Danny Phantom. A lot of people that I talk to have either never seen it or didn't like it growing up, but I absolutely loved it. I even bought the complete series on DVD in early 2014 when it was released.

Agreed.

Megas XLR is another one. Probably hated just for being mecha, but easily one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
Godzilla (animated): Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen and far better than the movies. Great characters and actually correct science (in most cases).
Sym-bionic Titan: got short-handed by CN. One of Tartakovsky's best works.

As Told by Ginger. Down to earth, complex and mature for a children's show.

Which cartoons (non anime) do you think are underrated? I think Batman the Brave and the Bold is underrated because people like to compare it with Batman TAS. I like seeing Batman being dark and brooding but it's also nice to see a campy version of him, Brave and the Bold also has a pretty nice artstyle and I like seeing more lesser known heroes and villains making appearances.

The first time I watched Brave and the Bold I think it was the Superman episode. I fell in love with it. There was also the episode with Joe Chill and when I saw Thomas Wayne was voiced by Adam West I lost it.

I have to say Legend of Korra. Alot of people have given in flak for not living up to its cousin Avatar the Last Airbender, but I believe it was a great show in its own right.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has too many haters. :<

And for all the things I like about it, too. Girliness and cuteness is wonderful!

The Looney Tunes Show (the animated sitcom not the old school theatrical shorts) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Looney_Tunes_Show to me is underrated. As a Daffy fan it was great to see Daffy as the dominant character and Bugs subdued into being a straight man character like Porky and being taken advantage of because of that. I always hated how Chuck Jones ruined Daffy by making him overly jealous of Bugs and turning him into a butt monkey character. It was a breath of fresh air seeing Daffy being in control and Bugs taking a back seat. The thing I loved about this version of Daffy is how he completely didn't give a f**ck. He did what he wanted, whenever he wanted, however he wanted.


I have never liked it's artstyle. Is it as good as American Dad?

Freakazoid. I thought it would be stupid now but after a recent rewatch, this show still holds up pretty well.

I'd say what's with andy. I absolutely loved that show when I was a kid :3

Dang shame it ended. That was the best show Cartoon Network had in years

daintybiscuit said:


i think its far better than America, Dad. I LOVE Seth MaCfarlane but if you know Family Guy, you can spot him from a mile away (Ted, AMG, good stuff)

Can't put my finger on it, but Bob's just has this super dry yet still sweet attitude. Seems pretty special to me ^^ i was ready to hate it based on art style, then there was nothing else on late at night. BOOMS! Bob's Burger hehe

I dont see much people give The Amazing World of Gumball enough credit. The animation is actually pretty neat how they do a decent job of mixing styles. Also its probably the first cartoon ive seen where the main character is a pantheist (he prays to the universe like its a god) which is deffinately not something youd normally see in something in christian constantly offended america.

I liked Tuff Puppy

Johnny Quest both the classic and the 90s one. It aired for quite a while the reboot but i never knew anyone who watched it even back then. It was higely marketed too. Used to by my fav show back in the day.

Pirates of the Dark Waters was pretty cool but got canceled.

Freakazoid a lot of people seemed to overlook in their favour of The Animaniacs instead.

I also agree on The Loony Tunes Show. Its pretty darn funny and amusing to watch.

Looney Tunes was under rated!? That was like the best you could watch as a kid, that and Scooby-Doo the Hanna-Barbera stuff, not that new trash though.... Come to think of it Hanna-Barbera had a lot of good shows I grew up on; Jetsons, FlintStones, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, Laffolympics etc Been a really long time since I've thought about any of those lol

He's talking about the 2011 animated sitcom the Looney Tunes show which I mentioned not the old school Looney Tunes theatrical shorts that started in the late 30's.
