. . . Black Dynamite is off to a promising start.
I love that show. Best one so far was the Christmas Special with O.J. Simpson.
"Ha! I threw that before I left the moon!"

Archer, Bob's Burgers, Frisky Dingo, Sealab 2021.
nobody like Futurama?
I no longer watch that show. It was funny at first, and I mean VERY funny. But now MacFarlane just uses it to express his own personal views regarding Life and Politics. Honestly, behind that goofy smile he always wears, MacFarlane is a surprisingly hate-filled individual.

Honarable Mention:
Cowboy Bebop (series)
Berserk (series)
Both of these I recommend watching.
I wish they would bring back Ren and Stimpy and make new episodes, but thats unlikely.
'Oblongs' were another gem on Adult Swim.
Both brilliant and entertaining in equal numbers.
Obviously it was canceled after a very short run.
The granddaddy of 'em all:
Way back in high school, in the kids-who-don't-do-their-homework class, a couple of guys and I found ourselves with one of the school TV/VCR sets while the rest of the school was away at a pep rally; we were far too cool to be bothered with such things, so it was just a matter of finding something to do with the TV. There was a recordable VHS tape sitting with it that just had "Akira" handwritten on the spine, so it was "I guess we're watching this.." It starts up, and it turns out to be a cartoon - all we have to watch is a cartoon?! And then came the scene where the protester gets shot in the street, and it was stunned silence and awe for the next two hours..
A lot of Akira purists hated the latest incarnation with different dubbing and some dialogue changes, but I actually preferred it over the original. A lot less murky in places. Live action version has been shelved once again via the rumour mill. Not sure what the status of Neuromancer is either. Both films are going to be very tough to visualize in live action.
I tend to avoid Anime' circles not because I don't like it, but because it's fanbase tends to treat anything with an Anime' or Manga title as instant 'excellent' when the fact is that most of it is 'meh' at best. When Anime' is good, it's typically breathtaking, but you have to muddle through so much crap it drives you nuts.
On the serious side we need to give american studios credit for some very good animation work with various super-hero sagas. All the Justice League fair was well done, and certainly deeper in terms of writing than Hollywood's live action schlock. 'BatMan Beyond: Return of the Joker' (prefer the uncut version) is just as good as any of Chris Nolan's latest incarnations.
Agree on Moral Orel....it's just crude and not funny.
^Ive never even heard of it. Whats it about and is it still on somewhere?
