Best US Animated Series
A list of my favorite animated series, specifically animated in the US or an American production. No anime (no, Avatar isn't an anime). Shows have to be specifically animated and not contain separate live-actions segments or heavily presented aspects of it, like Kablam!, TV Funhouse, Off The Air, or Wonder Showzen. Standard animation, CGI, claymation.. all count.
I need to watch more Rick & Morty and Arcane.
