I couldn't agree more, we need more fresh series, with new ideas. If you aren't into comedies, it is a struggle to find new content. I really enjoyed Amphibia, and Owl House from Disney, but the later suffered too much due to the shorted last season. I was really surprised by Wolfboy and the...

Free to air TV is more common in Australia though, and kids programming died long ago now. With the death of Saturday Disney, Kids WB, and finally Toasted TV. The ABC is a joke now, it used to offer more unique and obscure cartoon series from around the world, but is mainly streaming content...

Did season 2 seem a lot worse story wise, or was it just me? adding Patches to the main cast, more single character stories, and stories that seem more random. I like the dynamic between the main three characters more in the first season, with the focus on spooky stories.

DuckTales was a reboot, so I would class that more as an attempt at a shared universe (like Scoob) Does a Kingdom Heart cartoon series exist? Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool Scooby Doo were different, but are getting old now. Both were weaker in the mystery department (less focus on...

The others franchises aren't relying completely on cross-overs though, which is destroying the franchise. Tom & Jerry would be closest, but only on the DTV side. All the others are still doing new projects, even if they tend to re-use the same characters too much (super heroes wise).

Scooby-Doo needs a long break, they ran out of good ideas long ago. Warner Bros have been relying on cross-overs (celebrities, other cartoon series, Lego) for far too long, and their attempts at sequels were even worse.

Return of the Planet of the Apes and Star Trek: TAS were really good for that era. Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle is worth mentioning too, although the stories felt more science-fiction, rather than suited to the jungle. Add Battle of the Planets and Star Blazers, if you include American adaptions...

The creator actually presented the screening I went to, and did mention it was about learning to work together, but I found the actual trailer rather misleading for that content. Yes, world building in general always help, and the ending sure could have used more explanation, in terms of water...

I couldn't disagree more, if you can't at least keep the existing lore (remake) or story (new adaption), then don't even bother. I'm tired of writers who think they know better than the original material, or characters just getting twisted. The main reason I went off the DC animated movies is...

Animation must be really going down hill, if this movie managed to win. I saw the movie early via local international film festival, and it is nothing like the trailer (wild animals having to work together to survive). The movie is basically animal antics at best, using more domesticated...

Actually was available, since it got two DVD releases, unlike the later seasons. A DVD release in the UK in the past, and a recent DVD release in South Korea (NTSC, with English audio)

Getting a bit off topic, but paid streaming in Australia is far more limited, only two global services (Disney+, Paramount+) for western cartoons. All content from other companies is split around different services, or not available at all. Content from Warner Bros. for example is usually...

No, it isn't too much to ask for the cartoon series to be presented as they were original produced and broadcast, rather than dumped in any flawed format, with no other options. I would be happy to pay for streaming or buy on physical media anywhere worldwide, if that was an option. The DVD...

Maybe my bad luck, but almost every show I was really interested in streaming is cropped to 16:9 (Blackstar, Garfield & Friends, The Little Lulu Show, Moomin), or has incomplete episodes (Defenders of the Earth, Moomin, Rahan). The problem is once cartoons are added to free streaming, there is...

Free streaming isn't as good, as it seems to be. Too many cartoon series literally just dumped on services, without any care at all. Older cartoon series are often cropped to 16:9, and sometimes missing the opening sequence too, especially on YouTube. The local Tubi TV has Shadow of the Elves...

Unfortunately another cartoon series that has been cropped to 16:9, the original series was 4:3.

The state of super hero cartoons couldn't get much worse, we are still getting more of the same (Batman, Spider-Man, Superman), rather than less known characters, or new original characters. Cartoons are becoming more focused on the younger pre-school kids, meaning even less options too. I'm not...

Unlikely to happen, Monster Farm didn't sell well, and we are lucky they are even completing Keroro Gunso. So Discotek is unlikely to do a subtitled only release for any long kids series again. The series would be subtitled only, Discotek don't have the funds to do an English dub for any...

Have you come across any faithful animated fairy or folk tales? by faithful I mean sticking to the original endings at the very least, but the more accurate the better. Classic Tales by Neptuno Films is the only cartoon series I have watched, which kept the original stories, as best I could...

Peacock streaming is limited to USA, still no option to see the complete series for international viewers.

This might actually be true, Madman Entertainment licensed One Piece for a DVD release in Australia back in 2005, and were planning an uncut release, but had to cancel plans not long after (2006).

No, you don't understand the situation at all. The backlash was due to the series been advertised as a He-Man series, when it was actually Teela's story. And the series was basically another strong female empowerment story, rather than offering a actually good female lead that grows (i.e...

I used Dragon GT as the example, the early episodes actually copied the original Dragon Ball series, and they forced limits on Goku, which just ended up annoying. Goku is literally the best example of an over powered main character, with no room for growth at all, but they won't stop using him...

You can never have too many characters, the problem is when the characters lack any depth. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a good example of an animated series, with a large cast of characters, that were well integrated into the story. Using your example of Justice League Unlimited, the...

The video is basically stating the English dub isn't as bad as other dubs, that is a rather poor argument to make. I watched the English dub of Digimon on TV, and later the Japanese versions, the tone is completely different in the Japanese versions, especially due to the pointless jokes added...

No, they are still around, if you search the various streaming services, and look more worldwide. It depends what you are looking for in an action adventure. More recent series are aimed at younger children, and many tend to focus too much on the comedy side. I really enjoyed Amphibia, and Owl...

Except Dragon Ball Diama will be Dragon Ball GT all over again, Dragon Ball GT clearly showed you can't just de-age Goku, because there is no room for the character to grow. The problem is the Dragon Ball franchise can't move beyond Goku, the only way to do a fresh adventure would be to use...

I liked the character's struggle and conflict in the original Gundam Seed, until I made the mistake of watching the sequel. Gundam Seed Destiny felt like the fear of change, the main characters from original act like gods, cause more damage then the other factions by their actions, and still...

I couldn't disagree more, streaming wise, Disney is the worst, especially for international viewers: Amphibia and Owl House were only added, after season or split season ended. Owl House Season 3 was literally available for free on YouTube, long before it was even added to Disney+ There is a...

Can someone confirm whether the series is actually in true widecreen or not? nothing on the back cover to indicate the aspect ratio

Why even do a Krypto cross over, if they aren't going to use the characters? the major DC characters were never the focus of the TV series

Wasn't this DVD release delayed until 27th September? at least that is the release date Amazon and other online stores are showng now.

Previous TV limitations shouldn't effect how a cartoon series is shown on streaming. Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! was produced for widescreen from the start (see reference ). The complete series was shown in widescreen on TV down here in Australia.

The problem is when you don't have streaming access at all, the streaming access for content from Cartoon Network / Warner Bros isn't as good in other countries. We don't have a dedicated streaming service for Cartoon Network / Warner Bros in Australia, only limited selection of new and old...

Yes, it seems pointless to add more series, if we aren't going to see the series uncut or completed.

No, the Filmation series have not aged very well at all, I meant more like draw on existing characters, locations and the world bible (sometimes exists for cartoon series). By existing lore, I didn't just mean previous cartoon series, books or comics are a great source for better stories. The...

That is exactly the problem with many reboots, they are more interested in twisting the characters around in the name of diversity, than just trying a fresh take story wise using existing lore. The worst part is it never seems enough for some people, Avatar: The Last Airbender had good world...

Do we really want more Jetix series on Disney+? they get terrible treatment on the service. Super Robot Monkey Team HyperForce Go! is still cropped to 4:3, and has not had any more seasons added.

I don't like the sound of a DVD release of Krypto the Superdog: The Complete Series at all, as that means even less chance of a true widescreen release. There is no good reason the series couldn't be released on Blu-ray, considering it is available in HD, even if a limited release.

No, I recently watched the complete series, due to the Blu-ray releases, and I thought the later seasons got worse. I actually preferred the first two seasons, since they were a different take, with the focus on the early years. I liked seeing more interaction between Batman & Alfred, seeing...
