The show is just so mediocre in every way, I can't understand how it stayed on the air so long. And I never understood why they had that whole "the whole world is a cruel slum" thing going on. I mean, the city they lived in was just plain ugly! Yet, for some reason, I used to watch it every chance I got.
Where does all the poop go? When the cat poops does it come out of the dog's mouth? And vice versa? Oh god! That's some kind of living hell!

The fact that this show only made it for two seasons makes me distressed and furious all at once. I remember when I first discovered it on iTunes, I think it was the summer of '08. I watched it religiously then, and damn if I still don't respect it as one of the best cartoons to ever exist in the history of the universe

I would say I like Anime and Western almost exactly the same, but at any given time I'm heavily gravitating towards one or the other. I missed out on a lot recently. My favorites so far, though I've seen little recently, are [refer to avatar] and MLP: FiM. I've just started watching Avatar though.

What're your opinions on Avatar? Good show?

Don't know if I agree, but now that I think about it... geez they do look like pedobait, don't they?
0:50 of the video and just try to say they aren't.

Actually, here, I did a screencap.

I actually went and watched an episode of PPGZ, or at least tried to.

Couldn't even get through the first episode. It wasn't the designs or anything that made me stop watching, it was simply because the show was so dull. It was boring, unfunny, and didn't really have anything to keep me interested in watching it.

So it's not just a pedobait bastardization, it's a dull pedobait bastardization. Well, you can't have good shows without the bad ones, I suppose.

Powerpuff Girls was a show about cute little girls with superpowers fighting villains and giant robots. There was no possible way that it could have not gotten an anime adaptation.

If you can respect River City Ransom, video game references, potty-humor, the 1980's, and Steve Wozniak - yeah, I'd say this show is pretty bossanova.

So, what's your favourite western-animation character? Donald? The zany Daffy of the 40s? Mr Magoo?


I would say mine is the "jerk" Daffy. I prefer Woody for zany characters.
