@avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus Flapjack was fine and Chowder was not bad I guess but pretty much everything else from that time period wasn't good. And the live-action was the worst.

Had to fight over the campus TV with a girl complaining about Adventure Time with the
reasoning being they don't like "the new Cartoon Network."

Whitewashing complaints are generally justified.

So The Lone Ranger got an A+ from you?

If you think animated films are "by definition" marketed to children
your definition is screwed up. There is nothing about drawn, sculpted, or computer-generated images that screams "for kids!" I should hope that Akira, South Park, and Waltz With Bashir were never marketed to children.

Or, you know, Miyazaki might simply be the best anime director around and so awesome that people who generally aren't interested in other anime like his movies. But they're still animation from Japan, so technically anime.

Unfortunately canceled as it was, the Freaks and Geeks finale is pretty close to perfection.

The Batman Beyond episode of JLU fits the second category.

@avclub-749a8e6c231831ef7756db230b4359c8:disqus On a similar note, Space Madness.

Idiocracy
Sleeper
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Portal
Dexter's Lab
Invader ZIM
certain episodes of Community (Remedial Chaos Theory DID get a Hugo nomination)

If Groundhog Day counts, Midnight in Paris does as well (would Purple Rose of Cairo also count or is that more fantasy?).

Grave isn't Miyazaki, it's Takahata.

Wrong. He was against his son directing from the beginning (after Earthsea he apologized to his son and helped him make Poppy Hill).

Curious, why do vampires have a queen but no one else does? Everyone else just has kings and princesses.

Really, CinBunz x Jake seems to be the OTP. Between the bread/mop, the nightlight, and the "girlfriend", something's up there that we need to learn more about.

Not only was Bugs Bunny all-ages and often in front of adult-oriented movies, but didn't come along until 1940, so another mistake in your post.

If you want a good anime recommendation for something that's still airing in Japan and streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu in the US, Attack on Titan. Seriously addictive.

He's friends with John Lasseter, so I doubt he hates technology on principle, just more frustrated with modern life in general.

Might be hard, but I bet you Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc can make that easier.

So Toonami's surprise was Kick-Heart. As one of the short's crowdfunders, that pleased me.
