Description For PerfectZanderSanchez  

Since he's doing this once a year, I decided I should do it just for fun.

6. Street Sharks (Animation Infamy? Unknown? Is it meh?) - If you haven't seen my review of Kung Fu Dino Posse yet, this is another TMNT clone with wasted potential. My biggest complaint is that they use too much muscle tone on the mutants. And being it was the 90s, it was possible anything could be made into a cartoon. That's right, I'm talking to you, Darkstalkers. Get back in the corner! As for this show, I really wanted it to be rebooted, but I expect a TMNT-2003 or 2012-esque style. Not TMNT 1987.
(Edit: I originally started to hatewatch this, but I found it to be a guilty pleasure instead.)

5. Ruby Gloom (Animation Unknown) - Okay, I'm pretty sure you already know that there are some shows a little too girly. Consider this one a weird girl's combination. Ruby Gloom follows the adventures of a happy goth girl, who tells her friends to look on the bright side. It's a little weird considering its dark atmosphere, but it sure is entertaining for a girl's show. And speaking of girl's shows, guess what's next!

4. Nella the Princess Knight (Animation Unknown) - Face it. I like Nick Jr. This is a most recent show by them, about a princess who can transform into a half-princess half-knight. It's cool, and cute and all. This is one of the few Nick Jr. shows that you don't come here for the learning, but come here for the entertainment. Shows like this, Shimmer and Shine, Rusty Rivets, and Paw Patrol are the reason why Nick Jr. exists. Don't get me wrong.

3. Billy Dilley's Super Duper Subterranean Summer (Animation Infamy) - We're all familiar with Gravity Falls, right? Say hello to its evil, disgusting twin! It's about a boy named Billy who loves doing science experiments. It's not brain science if you can tell that this was an utter failure. And it's only got up to 10 episodes. It needs to be more like a typical summertime show. NOT LIKE PHINEAS AND FERB! Jeez, I hate Phineas and Ferb. And this one is no replacement.

2. Claymore (Anime Unknown) - Released in 2007, this show is based off of a Shonen Jump Manga with the same name. Now I know what you're thinking. "It's got dull graphics, the characters never seem to show emotion, it's a Gilgamesh clone." It's actually not. A group of silver-eyed witches called Claymores are the reason why shows like Attack on Titan exist. The fantasy and military elements are similar to that show, and it is one to remember.

1. Monster Allergy (Animation Unknown) - Created by Iginio Straffi and Joanne Lee (the creators of Winx Club), this is based off of the comic book series. Which one? The one that says "Monster Allergy" on the cover! Either way, I love this show. It's about a boy named Ezekiel Zick who claims to be allergic to nearly everything. That's when he meets a girl named Elena Potato, who suspects that his allergy is just an excuse, and Zick actually lives with real monsters inside his house. Together, they uncover the mysteries of finding out where the monsters live.

Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer isn't that bad of a show. Sure, it DOESN'T beat Gravity Falls, but it was created by Aaron Springer, who WORKED on Gravity Falls. He was also the creator of Korgoth of Barbaria.

Id probably say Claymore is ANIME Unknown, but that's not that big a deal. I've heard of Monster Allergy but considering how big a disappointment Jar Dwellers SOS was when I finally found footage, I'm a bit skeptical. Claymore, however, I have seen but it just wasn't for me. I really expected to like it too but the characters just didn't set my world on fire and I felt the muted color palette wasn't a good choice (just my personal opinion though, and I'm glad that you like it). As for Billy Dilly, I wasn't exactly expecting that to be good anyway but I'm still going to try going into it almost totally indifferent to see my own thoughts on it. Ruby Gloom I've heard good things about, and Nella the Princess Knight is kinda hard for me to separate from "Nick Jr.'s version of Sofia the First"

Funny, cause I thought Nella was the Elena of Avalor and Shimmer & Shine was the Sofia the First. I guess that's my opinion. And notice that I have changed #6 to "Unknown? Is it meh?" That's because one time at comic-con, I heard a lot of people at the booth chanting "Street Sharks" during the questionnaire. I guess there really are a lot of fans about it, and I shouldn't judge a show by it's writing.
