Underrated Cartoons?

[Raziya The Seeker]

Not nearly as preachy or saccharine as the title sequence would imply! Surprisingly a lot of cool pop culture references (Doom 2 caught me off guard, for instance!). Plot revolves around a guardian angel doggo in mortal form, and either:

• a) trying to be a proper guardian angel on missions, and fucking it up,
• b) trying to get into the good graces of his living girlfriend dog, and fucking it up, or...
• c) getting into hijinks with his fellow guardian-angel-in-the-flesh / platonic life partner, a weiner dog, and... well, you get it.

EXOSQUAD (1993)
Possibly the only Western animation that touched on concepts such as the horrors of war, characters being killed off left and right, PTSD, and gray morality. Unfortunately these very same concepts are why Universal didn't renew the show for a 3rd season as they were pushing for more shows to emulate the successful Disney formula. If you have a Peacock subscription I highly recommend checking it out!

I will have to go with Invader Zim. I also liked Ren & Stimpy.

Oggy & The Cockroaches
Ugly Americans
Xavier Renegade Angel (not underrated but not as popular as it should be especially in current meme climate)

Did you know, the creators of Avatar TLA made a spiritual successor, The Dragon Prince?

But Netflix being Netflix, did a lousy job promoting it, and a 3 year wait, between season 3 and 4, didn't help. Plus, the show got a really bad pacing in arc 2, and needlessly left loose threads, at the end. Suggesting they MIGHT greenlight arc 3.

The first 3 seasons were heading in the right direction, though.

Avatar-related content that isn't absolute shit? I gotta watch it.

The older shorter Hanna Barbara cartoons.
Space Ghost, Herculoids, Jana of the Jungle, Fantastic Four.
Even without Adult Swim, those shows still entertain me and stand on their own.
