Zenoctilles 102 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 As a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons. MLP is good, but there is one cartoon that I have enjoyed more: Invader Zim. Some people decry Invader Zim for its crass cynicism, lack of sympathy, and its negative tone. But despite these traits, I find Zim oddly appealing, and, to this day, I consider it to be the best cartoon I have ever watched. As I have grown older, I have developed a greater appreciation for the show, particularly in how depicts humanity as corrupt, incompetent, and grossly stupid. This characterization is not far off the mark from what humanity is currently, in my opinion, especially when we see events like the Arab Spring and the amount of political polarization present in the United States. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adro2503 121 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 I wouldn't say that I think any cartoon I have seen is better. But Family Guy and The Simpsons is shearing the first place with MLP!! 3D generalist http://www.youtube.com/user/adro2503 http://adro2503.deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance64 7,053 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 (edited) I can't, I've become too bias! I do enjoy other cartoons though, including Invader Zim, it just so happens that MLP: FiM is my favorite. Edited May 27, 2012 by SBB64 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyPoni 564 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 (edited) MLP FIM is on my list of favorite shows (my list is very hard to get into and IF I like it, then the are equal to the others I like) Some cartoon shows included on the list are... Avatar: The Last Airbender Dragon Hunters (The first season was amazing. The 2nd bombed badly. It never got that popular) Transformers: Cybertron (There are some Live Action shows on the list as well, such as Stargate SG1) There are more, but I cannot name them off the top of my head. Officially, in my mind I technically don't like any of them more than MLP, They are equal. BUT MLP IS THE BEST ANYWAY!!!

NavelColt 22,880 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 Phineas and Ferb I enjoy on par with MLP. Asides from that, there's Sonic cartoons, as well as some of the older stuff from the 90's. Gotta love the 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas 2,873 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 One does not simply find a show with better quaility. 7 My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,307 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 If Kim Possible and MLP:FIM came out the same year, and ran at the same time I'd probably be watching Kim Possible first. I'd be downloading ponies to watch second. Kimmie cub is my girl! Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudehamster 156 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 Actually, I enjoy Invader Zim, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy more the MLP. I love the style of humor in those shows :3.. Plus, the stupidity displayed from Billy is always "charming" xD 1 Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. ~Henry Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about CKND and TT which I say are about equal with MLPFIM! Avatar: The Last Airbender This and Legend of Korra I think might either be also equivalent, or perhaps slightly below MLPFIM Another show I find equivalent with MLPFIM is Adventure Time!

letterone 1,204 May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 There are several shows that I have enjoyed as much as MLP. One was Kids Next Door. It was just so clever and interesting and when you're a kid it's just so... cool. Then of course something more modern: Generator Rex. I love that show, though I haven't watched it much as of late. It was one of those things that actually got me to do fanart. That's pretty good if it got me to do fanart. I don't usually do that unless it's something I REALLY enjoy. One more final thing is good ol' Rocko's Modern Life. 'Nuff said. It's ironic how I fall just to get back up again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be my waifu 2,842 May 28, 2012 Share May 28, 2012 Oh, Courage was good. Great show. Indeed. The show has made me laugh, cry, and at some points legitimately scared Honestly I haven't watched either show enough, but the small bits I've seen I think I'd like these more than MLP if I were to watch more of them. Courage: Read above Ren and Stimpy: Hilarious. Can get pretty strange at times though, but that's part of why it's funny. One of the most famous bits in the show, when Ren goes batshit insane, is emulated a lot in modern cartoons (I'm pretty sure the scene where Pinkie goes crazy in Party of One pays homage to this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to watch a few episodes later. But they are both good shows! [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
