a terrible top 10 list...just terrible. i'll let you guys be surprised by the top ten

(searched..didn't see it posted)

anyone else agree?

[Show spoiler]because i think looney tunes not being number one makes the entire list useless.

[Sussudio]

wtf is Neon Genesis Evangelion???

besides that i think their top 10 list isn't that bad. nice to see batman get thrown in there, definitely deserved it.

[P@t_Mtl]

I am ok with Batman at number 2 but Looney Tunes behind in 3rd place, The Flintstones all the way down to 9 with stuff like South Park, Beavis & Butthead and Family Guy ahead?? I just don't know.

yeh true, i actually dont think beavis and butthead or family guy (sry blu man) deserves to be in the top 10 (maybe top 20), but overall i thought the majority of choices were good.

i didnt scroll through all 100...i'm hoping rockos modern life was on there somewhere?

Futurama as great as it is shouldn't be in, Same with B&B, South Park yes, Simpsons Yes.

Justice League Unlimited before Ninja Turtles And they wouldn't even have had that show if Superfriends hadn't been so bada$$

I was wondering the same thing. I mean, it only lasted 2 years, how good could it have been?

It had a lot of influence...and definitely is a good animated show. Definitely top 25 in my opinion...probably not top 10.

Cowboy Bebop is a much better anime than Evangelion though...everything from story to music was amazing. And it was only 26 episodes like most anime story arcs

The Simpsons is good but doesn't deserve a top spot.

Neon Genesis next to Akira is probably the most popular Japanese animated series ever made. It will also blow your mind if you watch the whole thing! You can't make an animation list and ignore Japan.

However, this list sucks. It mostly comes off as a "personal favorites" list by some guy at IGN. It lacks any real critical value. There is also no Johnny Quest in the top 40..

An anime that started in Japan in 1995 and lasted for 1 year becoming one of the most successful anime series of its time that came out before shows like Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Code Geass, etc. It had 26 episodes total for the series(which is the normal amount for an anime). Even to this day a lot of Japanese still love it that they are even still making movies, video games, promotions at Pizza Hut in Japan, and just about anything you can imagine. It even has a descent size of fans in America(but most of them moved onto other series). Basically if you like giant robot anime series then this is the series for you.

Heres a commercial Adult Swim made for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkcCsfaPBa8

Captain Planet didn't even make the list?

Go Planet!!!!!

[dpomp]

batman the animated series #2!? what crap!!

[masob98]

I agree with simpsons at 1, but most of the top ten was a joke. Come south park, beavis and butthead, give me a break. And transformers at 23, I almost punched my computer screen when I saw that. What a joke!!!

Ever since Rolling Stone magazine issued their coverstory '100 greatest guitarists' in 2003, every countdown I've seen tries to appeal to everyone and some how ends up looking really botched-together. I've cringed at countdowns since.

[BluRayTim]

I am absolutely outraged that Peanuts did not make the list! Peanuts trumps all of those cartoons!

The Simpsons hasn't been good or clever since the tenth season. From the eleventh season onward, The Simpsons is different interpretations of the same thing over and over again for years on end. It is the undisputed master of being repetitive. And this gets worse with time.
