Just when you thought American cartoons couldn't get any worse!

I LOVE Hi hi Puffy Ami Yumi! It was awsome! I miss it.

They'll never bring it back , I'm sure of it. It's been on hiatus for like five years. Even Samurai Jack has been ,along with its film, but I'm not sure how they'll do Aku without Mako unless they use Greg Baldwin who replaced him as Iroh?

I hope Nick buys it and makes more.

I watched a little of Alien Force, but after a while, I just found the show to be bland. I think the melodramatic turn the series took was a bad decision; this coming from a guy who actually likes melodramatic series. I mean, it was almost always nighttime in that show.

Also, the Gwen x Kevin pairing turned me away from the future series. The show focuses too much on them sometimes in my opinion.

It being at night ALL THE TIME was ridiculous. It is like they are telling us that villains do not fight at the daytime anymore although they did EVERY TIME in the original series. Power Rangers was more realistic than Alien Force, and they never had mentioned the parents for no reason... Scratch that comparison and replace Power Rangers with Spiderman or ANY of his cartoons. How could all of the villains become night owls and sleep like old people during the day and not fight at the most convenient time of day?

And why do they always stand around and let Ben transform into his alien form instead of attacking him mid transformation and getting it over it ? And furthermore, why don't they just take his family under hostage in Ultimate Alien since everybody knows of his powers? I blame Man Of Action's love for Japanese tokusatsu and bad writing for this plot hole .

I hated Gwevin, especially since his existence in a normal human form after dieing in the Twilight Zone as a monster after trying to kill her cousin just demeans her to the stereotypical helpless female sidekick when she had awesome magic powers...which they rid of by explaining all of it as being alien?

Samurai Jack. Now THAT was a good show. One of the last great cartoons on Cartoon Network.

I remember liking Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi as well. Don't remember much about the show, but from what I can remember, it was a pretty entertaining show. I doubt more will be made of it though.

"Hey guys, maybe we should try attacking Ben at night when he's asleep."

"Oh, come on, you know that teenage boys never go to sleep at night. They're always playing video games until 5 in the morning."

"Dang it, you're right. Well, let's try anyway..."

Couldn't resist.

You're right though. It is pretty ridiculous.

The new cartoons are just awash in political correctness and seriously lack creativity and originality.

Sometimes, I really do envy the Japanese.....

They don't have to endure the embarrassment of pumping out crap like this.

No, they have their own embarrassing crap to deal with. Like animes about girls who's super powers come from the fear of being seen naked

Have you ever seen Regular Show? I swear, sometimes I can'y believe it's a kid's cartoon. It's really unique, and funny, and a little stupid, but that's what makes it good. Check it out.

That is true. Japan has had a lot of bad anime that has come out recently, just like America.

Take the moe genre for example. I think that genre lacks majorly in originality for the most part. It makes me think that the Japanese are starting to run out of ideas as well.

At least the monsters in tokusatsu and in the superhero genre , American and Japanese like , come out while they are in school if they are. Even in MMPR, they attacked Kimberly in her sleep. If they know their identities , why are they alive and why are they allowed to prepare themselves in transformations and fight sequences?

I want urgency.

low on ideas, and mindlessly latching onto what sells, fearing to try anything new and risk losing money.

Seriously guys? =_= All american cartoons are bad? Yes. The 1990's was a golden age for cartoons here in the states. We had a a lot of good shows back then. This does not, however, mean that there are no good cartoons out in this day and age. We have to face facts. The 90's are never coming back. So let's try giving what we have out now a chance. If you watch them..Adventure Time and Gumball are actually pretty funny and cute. :/

Most people probably haven't watched it, just judging by that screenshot (which does kinda look bad.)
