It was good for 2 seasons. I dropped it at the beginning of season 3, it got so repetitive and crap.
You can literally skip from like season 2 to the end of 4 and not have missed much significant changes. The Earth gets destroyed and its all undone and the turtles don't really change much from it.
Sounds awfully like 2003 TMNT.
Nah, 03 can be dull but every season tends to shake up the status quo.
2k3 became shit at the lost season
and even then it's a general problem with TMNT
I lost interest when they introduced those dragon transformations.
I blame the need of the IP holders to shit out toys consistently that it causes the cartoon of that era to eventually plateau
right. should i continue '87 after season 3?
Do you like an even more bumbling Shredder?
He was only ever done right in the first movie.
The sad thing is all the demands for toy stuff from Playmates never actually happened in the toyline. You watch Season 5/FF/BTTS and you'd think all this stuff got toys. Nope, they made a few FF toys but then the next year they stopped making 03 toys in favor of making toys of the 07 movie for 3 years. They basically killed a show for nothing.
Filmation deserves a spot here. As limited as their animation could be, their writing and characters were spot on in a lot of their productions.
>He-Man
>The He-Man crossover eps of She-Ra
>Tarzan: Lord Of The Jungle
>Star Trek The Animated Series
>Bravestarr

>As limited as their animation could be
Yeah, but the purpose behind their usual production pipeline is admirable, if too bogged down by the issues to the era. Frick it's even more doable now (theoretically, at least) than back then.
>purpose
Do you mean how most of their productions focused on being positive influences on kids and families? That vibe is really strong in those Filmation shows, and that overall feeling and how open characters can be when interacting with one another really made those shows good.
It’s really hard not to watch and episode of He-Man standing up for someone or Bravestarr being wholesome and not just smile.
>Do you mean how most of their productions focused on being positive influences on kids and families?
No, I meant in the case of them usually trying to keep productions on the domestic end; it's a more than sound idea on paper, but all the production and budget constraints of the period made much of their output pretty limited to a degree where the outsourced stuff other studios were doing looked/moved much better in comparison, at least most of the time..
Nowadays, with the advent of digital sharing and tools, generally (as in, not necessarily restricted to tweened/ToonBoom-animated stuff) domestic production is theoretically more doable now even then it was in Filmation's time, and a lot of the boards I've seen for these shows certainly proves at least most of the people working on them are more than capable at animating their own cuts. The only barrier holding us back are the boomer suits that are stuck in doing things the way they're done in the "good ol' days"
In a similar vein, Thundarr was awesome.
Duckman
frick you I'm gorgeous
Big City Greens, everything looks like CalArts beanmouth, but it's still a pretty good show
Apple and Onion
Flapjack
Adventure Time
Transformers Beast Wars
That's more dated than outright ugly.
if i was a ninja turtle my name would be hitler because i'm not really much of an artist but man do i hate the israelites

I'm honestly surprised.
I haven't watched it in 20 years so I don't even remember how good/bad it was.
i don't remember it being a good show, but it sure was ugly. there were a bunch of ass ugly shows in that era. remember picrel?
The writing was great and even the animation and fight scenes were pretty good, but the art style and character designs were dog shit.
Yeah I hated the segmented arms. I know why it's like that but still
I expect opinions will vary on this one, but honestly.
OP said good cartoons
Okay how about S1-S6 South Park
Definitely didn't help it.
Very sad for this. Is was such a great show yet many people disliked it because "duu it's look like family guy", yet the same morons shills the shit out from that crap of Mysteri Inc.
'12 Casey's "GOONGALA!" wasn't nearly as satisfying as '03 Casey's, at least from what I heard so far. I speculate bad direction. Josh Peck is more than capable of letting out a good battle cry.
Complaining about art style has to be biggest filter for comics and cartoons.
Most of adult swim's catalogue falls under this description.
frickin twelve ounce mouse
What are the exceptions?
Ugly but bad or pretty but good?
the former
Venture Bros is the first one that comes to my mind.
Primal
Moral Orel
prolly forgetting others
How are any of those ugly??
He asked for exceptions so I interpreted it as adult swim toons that happen to look great
It may be the nostalgia taling, but 1987 TMNT >>>>>>>> Next Mutation.
Fun fact, Next Mutation Raph is voiced by Matt Hill (Ed).
It was a pretty solid interpretation of Batman and I appreciated the more serialized approach, but it probably would've been better received if it was in 2D. The CGI was not good back then to try to do what it was trying to do. It was only barely better with GL:TAS because the plastic nature worked on alien characters and worlds.
I also don't like Batman's face.
I mean wouldn’t call it ugly, it looks pretty nice for what it is.
This is the opposite, good looking show that is boring and bad.
As told by Ginger
anyone that says otherwise deserves to be showered with coconut cream pies
The songs in this show were honestly kino they had no right to sound as good as they do
This is the kind of show that's so bad but the good kind of bad that it reverses to being good. Frick K. Rool's voice as spot on.
