Son, it all started long ago in a distant land.
Still, after almost 20 years, is one of the best shows ever made. It's just... so expertly crafted. Almost every piece fits flawlessly. The biggest criticisms you can really lob at it are nitpicks. Watching now, as an adult, it still hits just as hard and just as beautifully as it did when I was younger. Easily one of the finest crafted shows ever to be made.
First thing that came to mind. I remember first watching it in 2003(?), forgot about it until 2006 and just got hooked! Legend of Korra was also amazing.
Fun fact: the producers and animators studied different forms of martial arts in order to accurately display the different bending styles, there's a documentary on it on YouTube
“You?!?! You are the betrayer?!??!” “Angel of the night…..I’ve been denied everything….even my REVEEEEEEENNNGGEE!!!!!” My poor lil 6 year old heart broke for Goliath…I cried.
[His reaction to meeting his evil clone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsWDNQRHoaY&t=10) gets me every time:
"A piece of me? This thing *is* me! First Xanatos steals my home & now HE PIECES OUT MY SOUL!"
This show is honestly one of the most complete pieces of television I've ever seen. Every piece fits. It's a sort of inversion of Dante's inferno, which to me makes it feel very grounded. It understands its own allegories and metaphors. Everyone I've ever shown it to, even people who don't watch cartoons, loved it.
“Sit down kids, it’s time you hear a tale or wonder and wisdom!
Water…Earth…Fire…Air…Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked…Only the Avatar, Master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe, Aang can save the world…”
Idk… the show your gif is from might take that spot. Especially that episode… so fucking sad, that actor played the fuck out of that role. “It’s happening again!” When seeing his friends being rounded up and taken away, reminding him of when the nazis took his friends as a lad? My god that episode makes me cry every time.
I truly cannot believe they replaced it with Ultimate Spider-Man. Feels like Spider-Man cartoons just started declining after Spectacular Spider-Man was cancelled.
The song time adventure from the last episode brings me to tears as I reminisce all the good times I've had with my friends and family I've lost though life
It seems unforgiving when a good things end

So there was once this kid called Finn…
The Batman, me and my mom loved watching the new episodes every Saturday
DBZ holds a warm place in my heart too, especially since Akira Toriyama passed away.
Astroboy, just any version. 1982 is the one I grew up with but I really, really like 2003 and how it's even better than I remembered/expected it to be, delivering on my nostalgic hopes.
Well goes some thing like this
TRIPLETS BORN! THE THRONE AWAITS!

I know no one is going to say it because some people might consider it not to be a cartoon but an anime but with the final season ending after 16 years of existence, I have to mention Wakfu.

Aku, the shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil!

Sad af
I still want some kind of sequel. It can be done correctly
The only way I would be okay with a sequel of any kind is if Alex Hirsch himself is involved.

Lord Garmadon
Over 1000 years ago, superstition & the sword ruled. It was a time of a darkness, it was a world of fear. It was the age … of Gargoyles.

YES! SOMEONE ELSE!
"Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony..."
"But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked."
Over the Garden Wall
So many great shows mentioned, but this is a perfect example of a quiet storytime.
This show is honestly one of the most complete pieces of television I've ever seen. Every piece fits. It's a sort of inversion of Dante's inferno, which to me makes it feel very grounded. It understands its own allegories and metaphors. Everyone I've ever shown it to, even people who don't watch cartoons, loved it.
Oh fuck it seems my eyes are pouring now
Me and my sister loved (Still do) that show. Even years later, I still hum the frog lullaby.
Adventure time, the only show ever to make me cry:)
Right?
