RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about Hey Arnold!.
February 12
Out of all the Nicktoons to emerge from 1995-present, Hey Arnold had to be probably the best of the bunch (I think the best Nicktoons originated from 1991-94). I haven't seen the show in years, … more
I remember watching this show when it was on TV back in 2002-2004, and back then, I thought it was pretty funny. Looking back at it now, aside from some episodes that I thought were lukewarm, Tough … more

Madpenguin posted a Quick Tip about Inuyasha.
October 27, 2012
Inuyasha is very similar to Dragon Ball Z , Yu Yu Hakusho, and even Bleach. It's what I consider the transitional anime. It's great for those new to the genre because it pretty much breaks you … more
I remember a friend of mine back in the fall of 2004 lent me his boxed set of Steel Angel Kurumi, promising that I'd love it for all the nudity and fanservice in it (I had some misplaced priorities … more
Mike Judge's classic 90's cartoon plays as more as a social commentary about America's youth and it's decline below the surface. On top it's about two chuckling teen dimwits who are on a quest for sex, … more
I've been a big MST3K fan ever since I first saw the show around 20 years ago. Who would have thought that a janitor (Joel Hodgson)/space explorer (Mike Nelson) and his robot companions … more

Eureka is not the big flash sci-fi show that traditional viewers expect with even a modest special effects budget. It does have deep story lines and as such, some of the episodes may seem a little slow … more

If you went back into the early 90's and asked me what one of my favorite cartoons was, I'd eagerly answer Tiny Toon Adventures. Hell, I was such a huge fan of it back then, I hoarded the … more
