Man i used to see him on Cartoon Network but sadly they removed it on their lineup, along with other Looney and Hanna-Barberra Toons.  BAD move Turner Network!

I'm still trying to find where anybody said they were replying to you. This post wasn't started by you and is discussing animation in general, not simply your personal preferences.

I've seen Porco Rosso.   At least with Sky Captain and the WOT I got to see some of Angelina Jolie.

Nah, the main problem is they're not promoting the material aggresively enough in the US.  You may have never head of Ranma 1/2 but Ranma has a HUGE fan base (yeah mostly made up of Japanese, Europeans, and even Mexicans and loyal fans in States:D).  Heh I only heard of that show when I went to Mexico and saw it on Spanish Cartoon Network at midnight.  My 3rd grade Spanish skills was enough to understand why this show is downright funny, hillarious, and titillating:D

No, believe me. The girlfriend and he clic of friends is really into the stuff. My best internet friend in Virginia has a room full of it. I have complete Slayers, Trigun, and Outlaw Star collections, plus a Gundam movie that I thought was something different when I bought it.

You mention one of the "good" animes, I've probably at least heard of it and know the basic story. ;)

Apologies.

let me analyze...

Things got spiced up a little when we almost ignored Mel Blanc's contributions to the world of animation in this thread.  To add fuel on fire... someone tried to elevate masterpieces such as Porco Rosso and Mononoke Hime to that of Godzilla parodies:D

I highly recomend Ranma on your collection.  THE funiest i've seen for an anime.  The characters and the characterisations are interesting (bolded and italicized for emphasis:D)  I saw Ranma 1/2 this year and Ranma was the first anime i've seen (i saw the spanish version in mexico lol).  After watching it made me understand why people love anime and why anime has such huge loyal fanbase around the world.  When you see the pilot episode you'll see why the creator put 1/2 after the name:D

I saw the pilot on YouTube. I don't get it. :D

It's in the line up. A 15 (16) year old lazy arse that plays AH has to prioritize!

Does Jimmy Neutron count as a modern cartoon?  It is by far the best I have seen, and as good as any of the old stuff.  It is smart and entertaining, with great caracters.  It is the only cartoon I don't mind my kids watching besides the old stuff.  Oh, also Rollie-Pollie-Ollie, but that is for the real young kids.
