I'm digging the new Ninja Turtles show. Longer storylines and darker plots, much more inline with the original comics. And with the way the toys've been selling to young kids as well as adult collectors, maybe they'll realize that kids are intelligent and the wave of over-simplified crap needs to end.
But most new american-developed animation is crap. And most of the animé they're bringing over now is crap too. Ever since South Park and Pokémon went huge, everything is modeled after them. Even the new Transformers shows have been a huge disappointment.
I want my own network. I'd spend all day Saturday showing stuff like Bubblegum Crisis 2040, Armitage III (the series, not the shit movie), AD Police, Now & Then - Here & There, and Record of Lodoss War. Nothing like "Today, on Cartoon Network, six hours of HAMTARO! And if you haven't smashed your brains out with a sledge hammer by the end of that, we'll follow it up with a marathon of badly rewritten and censored so there is no longer any followable plotline Dragonball Z. Well, it'll actualy be GT, but since Z is what got popular, we're gonna say it is Z so you mindless morons won't know the difference. We'll even advertise it as 'all new' episodes despite the fact that they were really made back in the early 1980's and have been out on video and DVD for years now."
