Poll: What's the best animated show airing right now?

[Lovely Mixture]

Ever since Teen Titans ended I have been unable to come up with an answer to this.

Want it back... but I guess things change. *tear shed for beautiful finale*

I hear you man. I feel similarly about the other DC related things. The new DC animated stuff isn't bad, but goddamn I want the original DC animated universe back. That stuff was amazing.

I put in my vote for LoK, but those shows are all so different it's hard to compare them. Like I wouldn't let a child watch Futurama but I would let them watch My Little Pony (talking young child here)

But yeah, Legend of Korra. I loved the aesthetic, I got pretty invested in the characters considering there were only 12 eps. I didn't really like Katara until near the end of the first season of Avatar, and A:TLA hadn't even introduced Toph 12 episodes in. Comparing my feelings for A:TLA and LoK after 12 episodes is about equal, for different reasons, and since A:TLA was one of my favourite shows of the last few years LoK takes it for me.

While I enjoy Archer and really like Futurama, and expect I'll like Legend of Korra since I loved the legend of Aang I answered other. In terms of English speaking cartoons I love Young Justice and I think it's still on air. That mostly has to do with my fanboy love for nightwing but it's also because I think the show is an excellent continuation of the DC Animatrd Universe. I'm half French so I've been in France to visit family and I've rediscovered Marsupilami which aims to younger children but still gives me a mighty chuckle. On the other hand I'm pretty sure that's because of nostalgia.

Since MLP isn't technically airing right now as we're waiting for the next series (HURRY UP ALREADY) my votes gonna have to fall with Gravity falls. :3

 

[Gabanuka]

Really? MLP is first? Come on guys, I like the show but that's ridiculous, pretty much everything on that list blows it out of the water.

My vote goes for Gravity Falls, then Korra, then Adventure Time.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

Airing right now? Futurama
Aired in the past? Futurama
Will air in the future? Futurama

Best animated show, contender for best show period

I fucking love Phineas and Ferb. Seriously.

It took way too long for someone to mention it.

And yet it has the lowest number of votes. Come on people. It has a secret agent platypus! What more do you want!?

 

[Spinozaad]

I'll go for Archer.

It's hilarious and so VFQ ("Very Fucking Quotable").

I love you.

Considering neither Archer or South Park are on your list, Futurama. It's damn funny, unlike Archer or South Park it does proper drama as well, it balances it with the comedy well (American Dad does this pretty well too. I prefer it to Family Guy by quite a bit). That said, Archer and South Park are just plain funnier than pretty much everything else on tv.

Herp derp. Archer is on the list. Bugger me.

No mention for Regular Show? That's a good show, not quite on par with Adventure Time but good enough. Amazing World of Gumball is decent too. And an honourable mention for Batman: The Brave and the Bold too, not sure if that's still going but I've been catching up on that and it's occasionally pretty wacky. The last episode I watched, Aquaman drew a smiley face in the sand with his foot. That alone is enough for me to watch it.

From that list I've only seen Adventure Time, Legend of Korra, Futurama, Archer and Phineas and Ferb. New Futurama episodes I've seen are pretty dire, I didn't think Phineas and Ferb was particularly good, and Legend of Korra is basically offensive - I appreciate that they're trying to deal with more mature themes than the original series, but the story was all over the place and there wasn't much in the way of character development. They seemed to devolve if anything.

Not sure if it counts, but the CG Clone War series is solid too.

I sincerely believe that Seth MacFarlane is a egotistical prick who wouldn't know humor if it beat him over the head with one of his inane cut-away gags, so I declined to acknowledge any of his shows in the poll. Call me petty, but I don't want his garbage creations to even be put in the same general area as the far, far better ones already listed.

I don't think anyone is denying how much of an egotistical prick Seth MacFarlane is and how he gets WAY much more acknowledgement than he deserves for what is essentially a pile of cut-away gags and overused running jokes loosely tied together by a token plot, believe me. What I am saying though is that despite being connected to him, American Dad goes manage to go above and beyond its predecessor and successor by cutting out cut-away gags, instead focusing on its characters and situational humor that arises between them. Best of all: No impossibly retarded father figure that acts too stupid to sympathize with and never gets his comeuppance, Seth's inevitable author-insert character is not some moralizing straw man-debating liberal agenda douchebag that hardly gets called out on it (Roger is probably Brian's antithesis now that I think about it), and besides providing the voices of two characters Seth has little if anything to do with the writing and directing of the episodes.

If American Dad's connection to Seth MacFarlane is a deal breaker for you, that's perfectly understandable. What I'm trying to say, though, is that much like Deadpool coming from the mind of Rob Liefeld, good things CAN come from the strangest and most unlikely of places.

MLP, with Korra as a very close second.
I really love the art style in Korra and the whole roaring twenties theme is one of the best aesthetics i've seen in any Tv show, and the story arc seems very interesting, but until the second season starts, ponies has the vote!

 

[IamQ]

Gravity Falls for me, followed by Adventure Time. I haven't seen all the episodes of either one of them, but I've been more keen to watch Gravity Falls than Adventure Time. Also I like Gravity Falls humor more.

[BelmontWolf]

other: Transformers. No other animated series has sparked so many further series after the original was gone and no other has had so many toys even barbie cant keep up with the number of transformers merchandise.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I came here all ready to vote MLP, but then I saw Futurama, so I voted Futurama because it's fucking awesome.

 

[MidnightFaith]

I choose Futurama.

I also enjoy South Park and Family Guy. I haven't watched any of those shows in a few months due to I don't own a t.v. I enjoy Disney Movies like, Lion King, Oliver and Company, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, etc.

I find animation to be so well done (in less it's a complete fail and they have changed animation now) almost it taking me into the world of the characters.

I love Franklin and now they have made Franklin look like crap I enjoyed watching Franklin as a kid into my teen age years then I saw how they changed Franklin and it upset me. It truly looked horrible.

 

[Eddie the head]

Archer

Any show that is quotable is fucking hilarious

I would agree but then I remembered Robot Chicken was animation. And I find that a hell of a lot more quotable.

 

[babinro]

I'll take American Dad and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes to those mentioned in the poll.

Futurama would normally be best but I haven't found the newer seasons to be very funny.

 

[namhorFnodroG]

I'll have to go with Futurama. It has story, comedy and great animations in a big pile of awesomeness. Also, the music is 'mazin.
