Ulysses 31 was great, also Inspector Gadget, and for more continental stuff Maya the Bee.

For long format, Asterix and Obelix.

Ulysses 31 was amazing.
However anyone voting for anything other than Akira from the list above is a philistine.
Although I do agree with @winjim that you're comparing All Quiet on the Western Front with Captain America.

No contest, King of the Hill.

Maude Flanders dies??? (I stopped watching it a long-diddly-ong time ago)
It's a shame because when Simpsons is good nothing even comes close to it. The only way the show will be allowed to end will be when a key voice actor dies. Literally the only thing I remember about the movie was Spider-pig.

South Park held a place in my heart for a long while - some of the best moments and character development in TV. Infinitely quotable. Genuinely subversive.

I was overjoyed when Family Guy was resurrected because the first three seasons were excellent.

Beavis and Butthead is not on this list, therefore I deem the list invalid.

Edit: remove excessive negativity.

South Park held a place in my heart for a long while - some of the best moments and character development in TV. Infinitely quotable. Genuinely subversive. But it became clear after a while that the creators weren't that into it any more, and it became a place where comedy went to die.

I was overjoyed when Family Guy was resurrected because the first three seasons were excellent but the format and characters became so obnoxious after a while.

Beavis and Butthead is not on this list, therefore I deem the list invalid.

And yes, I am a humourless curmudgeon

Just vote for Akira

Just vote for Akira

My only experience with Akira is the spectacularly terrible videogame.
The only anime I've watched and enjoyed (not counting Mysterious Cities of Gold) was Sohryuden: Legend of the Four Kings/Legend of the Dragon Kings.

 

[Edwardoka]

Also just noticed that @Drago refers to American Dad as The Drago Show.

Curious whether it's Barry or Roger you identify with?

 

[C R]

Oh, and Dragon Ball

I've seen it a couple of times.
I thought it was an astonishingly good film and the quality of the animation and artwork is breathtaking. I will admit, just between us of course, that the last time I saw it may have involved some passing from the left hand side, which may have heightened the experience
By the way, get on to Ghibli for some cracking anime, but I'd still recommend Akira, even if my memory is slightly blurred.

Watch Akira just to understand the effect it's had on popular culture. It is good. But while we're on the subject...

Also gonna say, the recent Scarlett Johansson live action remake of GITS wasn't great but some of the action scenes were shot-for-shot remakes of the anime which was pretty badass.

Can do one better than that.

Few years ago went to an exhibition all about Oliver Postgate inc original art work and his camera set up.
A well known fox also made a visit

Correct except it’s ‘ass’ rather than ‘arse’.

I don’t think so but I’ve got the boxed sets so I just play them every so often.
Brilliant series. I’ve always loved the episode when Hank goes to Japan and finds out his father (Cotton, who had his shins shot off during the war) had a child with a local woman and the son looks like a Japanese version of Hank.
