Hi, I’m EvilJim and I love animation in all its glory and what better way to express my fandom for the medium than by making a detailed list of the top 50 best Cartoons of all time. A list that includes American animation (U.S, U.S-Korean and Canadian) and Japanese anime as well as a list covers the past and present favorites. In addition to that I'll be sharing descriptions of each show and what makes them great.This cavalcade of cartoons ends with my ten picks for the runners up. The only rule for this list is one entry per franchise. 

The Top 50 Animated Series of All Time:

Hey there members of TGWTG who happened to stumble across this blog, this is my series of video game review podcasts. If you haven't read my previous blogs, then I suggest you check them out for the other 14 episodes. Here's the next 7 (listen to one a day until next week, or all at once if you like, just giving you that option).

At this point in the reviews I knew more what I wanted my show to be like, but wasn't quite in the groove of making it each week, so they're pretty hit or miss as far as I'm concerned. Originally these shows were produced between March 27th 2010 and May 8th 2010.

Remember, constructive criticism over insults (and I do always like hearing different opinions on video games).

Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragonball, did this short series collected in Viz's magazine, Shonen Jump. Taking place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, a down and out sheriff named Rao teams up with Beelzebub, the prince of all demons, and his sidekick Thief. They set off into the desert to find a long lost lake to help the thirsty humans and demons who are under the tyranical rule of a greedy king and his army. Rao turns out to be an retired soldier from the royal army, but is going against the system to help his people. After hyjacking a tank, they run into opposition from the army itself, and a strange band of desert bandits called the Swimmers who dress like they're going to the YMCA pool. Beelzebub has it out with a giant insect before the lake is found, and they day is saved. Sand Land ran through several issues of Shonen Jump, and is conveniently wrapped together in this cool one-shot graphic novel.
