With the ReBoot trailer out and fans... loving it. Thought I'd take a look and pick the 7 best animated series reboots. And not sure if mixed any glaringly obvious ones

There's Beast Wars and My Little Pony: FiM, which definitely, "continued the spirit of the original or surpassed it in a meaningful manner," but I'm guessing the list was largely personal preferences.
See I always thought of Beast Wars as more of a continuation then a reboot of the series, but I could be wrong.
And yeah never seen My Little Pony to compare.
Beast Wars started out as a reboot, with no intention to ever connect with G1 (because the showrunners were entirely unfamiliar with G1), but as soon as the pilot episode aired there was a hugely positive reaction from G1 fans on the internet, so the showrunners decided to do some homework and tossed the fans some Easter eggs, and the next thing they knew they had painted themselves into a corner and had merged the previous comic and cartoon continuities (showrunners: "We did what?") and now they were making the definitive sequel to G1.
When asked what the holdup was for Big Hero Six episodes, Executive Producer Bob Schooley had this to say:
Together with Frank Angones's (DuckTales) tweet and the recent news of shows being moved over to The Disney Channel heavily implies that the days of Disney XD being the home for new Disney TV animation is coming to an end. And if I may be a bit dramatic... it seems like Disney TVA kinda went "EVERYONE LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH" and for the last couple of months has slowly been gathering the energy of all their animation departments and soon, the Genki-dama will be ready to be unleashed. We're just not entirely sure what form it will take. Some are suggesting the return of a "Disney Afternoon" type of block on TDC, others think we'll just see continuous episode bombs of every show in their lineup.
EDIT: seems Bob deleted the tweet
basically it said that BH6 was a part of a "programming strategy" which was why its return date had been pushed back

Hmm there have been rumors of Disney XD heading out to the fields a few years back when they announced the Guardians animated series...
I hope if they don't have original content, it goes back to a Toon Disney rerun channel with Disney afternoon and early 2000s series.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are starting to wind down Disney XD to focus on their streaming service. Why else would they take Star vs, one of their biggest hits for the channel and move it? That rumor about Marvel shutting down MA after all their current WIPs see done makes sense too. With Moon Girl and Deadpool in the works seemingly disconnected from the current productions, I think Marvel is dropping the "assembly line" cartoons to focus on fewer, but higher quality projects like before.
Not sure I agree with TMNT 2003 being over TMNT 2012 but I've never seen the 80's show so I can't give them a fair comparison.
I don't know how many of you guys watch OK K.O., but they just had one of the most anti-gun episodes since Static Shock.
They even called up a Congresswoman at the end of the episode, who then proceeded to ban "skeleton remotes"(ie guns). I wish real life worked like that.

yeah... was way to heavy handed with the message for me... (actually opened this thread to post about it myself) just wasn't a good episode (and I am actively trying to get people around me more involved) especially since it used not one but two tropes I don't like at allI don't know how many of you guys watch OK K.O., but they just had one of the most anti-gun episodes since Static Shock.

(sleezy out of town business man randomly showing up and it was all a dream)
either way it's weird how many episodes of Ok KO are political messages. Not that it's a bad thing when they do it right, still just wasn't expecting it going into it.
Man, I'd love that.
Great cartoons like Star Vs. get to thrive on a channel that people actually watch/have on their cable plan and Disney basically gets their own "Boomerang" again.
I come home expecting to binge watch Season 5 of Voltron and I get one episode in before my internet dies.
Of course the ONE day I want to watch Netflix my ISP shits the bed.
Edit: Yay, complaining on ERA fixed it! :D OMG that second episode was nuts.

Season 5 of Voltron was way better than Season 4, goddamn.
Time to go shitpost on other websites about it lol

That was cute. And I'm a big fan of the resent trend toward dark skinned female main characters, also seen with those new Disney cartoons announced.
Neat. I liked potatofarmgirl's Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld DC Nation mini-series and I know this one is based on her current online webcomic series of the same name, here's hoping it becomes a full series one day.
It's an original creation from Brianne Drouhard, who made those "Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld" shorts for DC a while back.
I really like her work. Hope she gets more than a short.
Any recommendations for a fun, semi-recent action adventure show?
All caught up on Voltron. Loved TLA and Korra. Debating between:
Thundercats
Symbionic Titan
Steven Universe
Troll Hunters
Star Wars the clone wars

Thundercats could have been good but it wasn't.
Sym-Bionic Titan has awesome moments, but it ends at a bad point and I'm not a fan of the high school stuff. It does a good job redeeming the stuck-up cheerleader character, though.
Steven Universe is great, but it's more drama and comedy than action adventure, really.
Trollhunters is a fun action adventure series with great designs and great TV CGI. It can be pretty generic, though.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars has a terrible first one or two seasons, but gets increasingly better as it goes along, until it ends as a pretty awesome show. This is the go-to episode guide.
Just the handful of short-shorts made for DC Nation and then never seen again.
At least it got merch.
Nah, I mean thisJust the handful of short-shorts made for DC Nation and then never seen again.

Oh fuck, it is (or was) happening?
Sweet.
EDIT: Oh, wait, that's DC Super Hero Girls. Yeah, that's been coming for a while, and I'd be shocked if they canceled the project.
Other than Infinity Train, none of those new CN shows sound particularly interesting, especially to the level of those new Disney shows.
At least there isn't anything Annoying Orange/Problem Solverz tier.
EDIT: speaking of Infinity Train, Owen Dennis posted a thing
I want to vacation in Corginia.

So happy to see Infinity Train greenlit!
I'm excited to see where they take the concept; hopefully Owen Dennis and co. knock it out of the park.
2019 feels so far away though...T.T

That could be any one that had him trying to trick the little Chickenhawk character (did he have a name?) into harassing the dog.
Seems Ankama went and replaced the dub studio for Season 1 and 2 of Wakfu and signed another, more well-known one to produce Season 3's English dub. Source
If this turns out to be as good as I could hope then it'd be nice if they could go back and redub the earlier seasons to match but I know that's asking a lot. Also the voices themselves were only half the problem, the other was having to match the original's French lip flaps and not have it sound like the English cast were speed reading just to keep up. Crossing my fingers.

well I mean they don't make promos for shows they are airing that aren't named teen titans go... so their promo committee has to do something :P
I mean we have steven universe returning in 3 weeks and I will be surprised if we see any serious promos for it. likely just the 13 second thing we got from twitter and once we get closer a 30 second trailer that manages to spoil key points in every episode that they are planning to air lol.
Compared to everything else, MLP's release schedule now is crazy. They aired half of season 7, then they aired three half hour specials from the Equestria Girls spinoff, then they started releasing web shorts for Equestria Girls, then they finished season 7 (the theatrical movie premiered the same week as an episode premiere, which was a misstep), then they started a straight up web series for Equestria Girls (still ongoing), and they released another Equestria Girls TV special about a month ago. And they also have some actual pony related shorts (reusing existing footage but with new dialogue) every week now too. Right now, there's new Pony content of some kind every week.
Gravity Falls and DuckTales had some web shorts, but I can't think of any franchise that matches the sheer amount of content.

since may 30th of last year steven universe has aired 8 episodes each of which were 15 minutes.... and won't return until apirl >.>
but yeah.. MLP at least seems to be pretty constant with the releases. I can't think of much western wise that competes to that.
I should watch the second half of season 7 and the movie sometime *shrugs*
Late but I watched these (and also the shorts on Cartoon Hangover) with my little sister last night
She loved the Aunt Phyllis one, somehow lol
A Harpy Gee series would be great. I actually learned of these shorts because I already knew of the comic (haven't kept up with it in a long while though)
Infinity Train interests me the most. Victor and Valentino might also be okay. I don't like the artsyle but the show did give me a Gravity Falls vibe. I want Villainous to be a show though, if it isn't already
That was pretty adorable! I'd love to see more come out of this series, if we're being honest.
I'm really hoping Cartoon Network puts effort into pushing this show when it actually comes out.
