copypasta from (>>>78890192) but I still think it's worth seeing.

The Legend of Prince Valiant, an animated series from the 90s on The Family Channel, is probably my favorite show of all time. It is highly serialized, violent, and achieves a depth rarely found in American animation, dealing with real fundamental societal problems and conflicts, including conflicts between politicical philosophies (!) without being preachy despite being on a Christian network.

In fact, the network imposed very few restrictions on the show, and I believe the noncommercial nature of the network allowed the show greater artistic freedom than other series based on toylines or other properties. They had no toys to sell, just a message, and not even Christianity! It is only rarely the characters go to church; the main ideology they espouse is basically American liberalism and egalitarianism lead by an enlightened king (I haven't watched it recently or really in depth ever, but I also don't think the creators thought too hard about that part either). The biggest restriction that TFN gave was they couldn't have any magic, which inadvertently made it more violent than other shows - no energy blasts, no forcefields, just swords and shields and arrows and cannons, and injury and death (!).

It is highly serialized, with multiple intertwining plotlines and dynamic characters - it was made as a family show, not a children's show. Both seasons have overarching plots, and most main characters get real arcs.

It has a female knight in training and this isn't ignored, but actually examined. There is an African knight who gets a tragic backstory and an important role, and neither of them feel shoehorned in for a diversity requirement. They are real and are flawed, like all the characters.

The animation is kind of stilted, and some of the episodes are uneven, but the main body of the show is rock-solid and has much to recommend it.

You can find it all on YouTube, along with its bitchin' intro.

He was a dick at times but the rest of the cast was pretty entertaining. Maybe if this show lasted longer than a season, Chozen would not be as much of a dick as he could be and he was pretty cool at certain points of the show. But I understand the hate for him.

The cruise episode was officially the last episode of the season according to the wiki during the time it aired. The Hub already planned to kill it off. The only reason why people thought it was on a hiatus was because some idiot intern who worked on the Dan vs. studio said so on his Facebook. It died and it's never coming back, anon.

I really have a soft spot for this show. The plot is basically "Hyena wants to eat mermaid, mermaid's shark boyfriend won't allow it." The show's french but it doesn't have a single word of dialogue. It also has a lot of over the top cartoon violence that most cartoons don't show anymore. Also it's on Netflix's Instant.

It was such a weird show visually and conceptually and looking back on it was probably made by pot smoking college french canadian kids but it was interesting.

They implied the main characters became evil the finale so I was sad it only got another season too.

I feel like this should would be better if it was more adult and that Dan wasn't right about half the shit he was paranoid/conspired about like how the dentist turned out to actually be an evil genius. Also the wife being a secret agent was meh.

In general though good show. Favorite episode is when the guy takes overs Dan's identity.

Generally though good show.

every time i traverse a thread like this I only get more ascertained that there is no such thing as under/over-appreciation. Things get appreciated exactly to the amount they deserve and by the exact amount of people who got in touch with them. You can't demand more people liking something more just because you liked it more than the average.

Yes, there are things that get under the radar because of missmarketing but they are very rare and typically they did something to deserve it (like Idiocracy). But everything above got exactly as much attention and affection as they deserved.
>>
>>79064953
I disagree.

Your statement requires that everyone knows about/has access to everything, and it's not everything that gets worldwide releases.

If it wasn't for /co/ I would never have heard about El Tigre, Les Kassos, Dofus, Wakfu and Miraculous Ladybg just to pick some recent examples. I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that none of these shows will ever get dubbed and released in my part of the world.
I've watched and enjoyed the first three, the two others are on my to-watch list.

You want some unknown shit?
Try this on for size Station X
Aired late night in 2005 in Canada.
Art was pretty bad but if you were a lonely, horny teenager without the internet, the girls were cute.
Can't really say how it is for plot and stuff. I haven't seen it in 10 years.
I remember it being okay but it was probably the only thing on other than infomercials.
I think it dealt with "adult situations" but not sure.
The show would intercut various clips from things like music videos.
So the actual animation time was probably only about 15 mins per episode.

The only thing online is some basic production info and the intro on youtube in glorious 240p.

Shadow Raiders, man. It was War Planets in the US because Canadian kid shows can't have "war" in the title, but the content can remain the same. This show was better than it should have been considering it was based off a toy line that bombed. Gotta give it up to Mainframe. They gave us Reboot and Beast Wars (Beasties in Canada. Seriously wtf kinda name is that?).. It does get thrown around on /co/ but no one talks about it much seeing how it's up there with Reboot and Beast Wars in terms of quality.

Holds up really well. Animation is pretty solid throughout, art style is a little gross in places but that's how the original comics looked, so I guess they were just being accurate.
