Azumanga Daioh

[Blackcat]

Harvey Birdman is the coolest adult cartoon CN has made. I remember the two Space ghost new shows, Cartoon planet and Space ghost from coast to coast, Cartoon planet was funnier.

Certainly you mean "Frasier"?

Yeah that's it.  I don't actually watch any of these shows.  I gave up on network TV long ago.

Good choice. The only thing I ever watch anymore is TV Land or Family Guy.

and, i watch some Nick shows, as well as like Fresh Prince, Cosby Show, and Jeff Foxworthy, as well as the original Looney Tunes and Popeye. i'd watch SWAT Kats too, but that's been taken off digital cable recently 

from what i've read, i can tell you this: the quality of animation isn't the only thing Japan has a reputation for. i've read about many anime and manga with totally original plots and synopses, from Urusei Yatsura to Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo!

SWAT Kats...ahh the memories. I thought it was so cool that two guys just built a jet from junkyard stuff.

By the way, I recently heard some of the Azumanga Daioh soundtracks. Only a few songs though.

Yeah, SWAT Kats was a cool show, haven’t seen it in more than ten years, but I have good memories of it.

Like SPC it had a beginning and a end. Is not like it would be cool if they did more episodes after they rescued the whole planet from aliens and got their jet upgraded with “Out of this world” technology. But think I missed the final confrontation with the main villain, Dark kat. Or maybe it never happened in the show because it was going to be canceled so they did the two alien invasion episodes to give it a good end.

American TV is great..

Everybody Hates Chris, My Name is Earl, Family Guy, American Dad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, old Simpsons, and these are just TV shows that are currently still airing new episodes. I can't account for our past in television right now because I'm in a hury, but don't diss American TV.

Anime can't thrive in the same way here as it does in Japan because of culture issues. Anime is always going to be a niche market.

Us cursed American's and our closed mindness towards other cultures.

It's always fun thought to see all the differences between places.  America is a huge place with wide roaming fields and urban centers, Europe is basically one huge village and South East Asia is like one giant Urban center where people actually use mass. Transit/bikes to commute.

Wow! I can't believe that I missed a topic about Azumanga Daioh!

To answer Valkyrie's question, my favorite scene is where Kagura tries to help a foreigner with his bags.

As to North American cartoons...
Some are good, but most are just plain awful.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go watch The Tick.

My fave Azumang Daioh episode so far was their junior year culture festival where Chiyo dressed up as a penguin.
