We all know that new anime are getting sucked into the evil vortex of evilness (a.k.a. extreme repetitiveness); cartoons (animation not from Japan) have long been in that downward spiral. I'd like to know if any of you have seen new cartoons that show promise, i.e. maybe they introduced a new formula to their genre, or used the same formula but managed to make interesting quirks about it. Let's keep the list to cartoons made 2001 and onwards. Remakes or new seasons of old cartoons are not accepted, as they have an existing formula before 2001.

Invader Zim is on the top of my list. Followed closely by Ben 10, Billy and Mandy, and The Avatar. I've watched Johnny Test as well, and I've taken a liking to it. I'll explain more later... for now, DISCUSS!!!

Unfortunatly at the moment I'm not watching as many toons as I used to since fewof them can perk my interest.
I have to admit Avatar is quite a good series that I have started to follow more, A personal favorite is Grim adventures... the dark humour never fails to get a chuckle out of me.
The only other i can think of right now is the New incarnation of Batman.

XD

I take it you cant think of any?

I do enjoy Avatar, and WITCH was pretty good. Dragon Booster has a crappy name but overall is a nice show, it's got realtivly good cel-shading and the dubbing is rather accurate. It's a rather well balanced series. I hope they continue it and Avatar.

Invader ZIM is great...too bad they're not making any more episodes...and all the ones that were planned were so whacked that it's good they didn't make them.

Some of CN recent shows like the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy(damn that's a mouthful), are good, though nothing spectacular.

XD was aimed at Kyub and the post XD

I really do enjoy watching the Avatar... I was enchanted once I forced myself to watch it one Saturday morning. Ahhh, the ocean spirit looks so cool.

In terms of comedy, I really enjoy the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Such a barrel of grim and morbid laughs. I also like the Fairly Odd Parents which I also find funny due to the repeated gags in each episode.

Both shows were good Dragon Booseter despite as you said crappy name is fun to watch. With WITCH once you get past the teen girl drama that is in every so often its a good show, which to me had quite a dark tone at times.

I know of WITCH through hentai XD

Why am I somehow not Surprised Chim

Avatar?... Is this the one that's has a Wii game out for it?...

[Rebel]

yes, yes it is. that's just how awesomly popular it is....seriously. :-p

I hope they dont cancel it with it unfinished like they do with so many series. At least it's a little limited to 3 seasons(water, earth, fire, the 3 elements ang dosent know).

I see that most of us will agree when it comes to cartoons XD

I think The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Johnny Test and Ben 10 are good examples of shows with repetitive premise that manage to make it work. When the show starts, Billy almost always does something stupid. And you know Grim will get the bad end of it, then Mandy will find a way to fix things. It's a simple formula, but it works ^^ I love that episode with the huge green cat.

You know, "What ever Happened to Robot Jones?" had good promise, it seems like it was slowly phased out for some reason, maybe it looked too much like school of rock animation or something. I actually liked it because it was funny, but it seem very odd how the time line seemed very 70s-ish.
