Remember X-Men in the 90s on FoxKids? That theme is my text ringtone!
Remember Batman the animated series? Remember the first time Superman met Darksied in the Superman animated series?
What about Justice League? JL Unlimited? Or the more recent Young Justice?
Good times right? I LOVE action cartoons. Especially since I can't afford to buy lots of comic issues or manga. So I try to watch anime and action cartoons whenever I can. There used to be no shortage of them. And you could have a hard time seeing them all without missing one (some would come on the same time).
But since Cartoon Network and most other channels no longer let action cartoons last more than 2-3 seasons now (or only bring them out to promote a movie...) all we can really do is feel nostalgic and then sadness as we think back on these good ol' days. I know there are sites you can find the old shows and watch them for free, but I just miss waking up in my preteens and eating pancakes with too much syrup and watch Wolverine claw his way up the back of a Sentinel.
Let's all list our favorite action shows (anime, superhero, any of them)! For my list I'll list if they're cancelled or still running too.
Avatar the last Air Bender (finished)
Legend of Korra (still going, one of the last surviving non-movie endorsing series)
Batman the Animated Series (finished)
Superman the Animated Series (finished)
Justice League (finished)
Justice League Unlimited (cancelled)
Thundercats (2011 remake, cancelled)
Young Justice (cancelled)
Dan Vs. (cancelled, not an action show, but a funny sitcom about hair-brain schemes and anger management)
Generator Rex (skip the comedy episode and this shows gets badass real fast, cancelled)
Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes (cancelled, this was swept aside for Avengers Assemble which is mostly a show to keep hype for the movies alive over the years, though both are decent)
Tron Uprising (cancelled)
Motorcity (cancelled)
Fullmetal Alchemist/ FMA Brotherhood (finished)
Outlaw Star (finished)
Gundam 00
8th MS Team
Batman Beyond (cancelled, finish is some episodes in JL Unlimited)
Cowboy Beebop
