How Has This Awesome Star Wars Anime Not Existed Until Now?

There’s probably been other Star Wars anime stuff before, but this fan-made epic battle between TIE fighters and X-wings is phenomenal!

My favorite part is that it seems to be drawn from the point of view of the TIE fighter pilots, a sorely underused Star Wars group, in my opinion. Now I really want to see a show about these badass space banditos. Who flies for the Empire? What’s it like in the cockpit of a TIE fighter? The possibilities are endless!

The original video was made by a guy named Otaking, and I’d like you, but it seems the original video was taken down from Youtube. What a shame.

Abandon All Reason and Bear Witness to the Justice League of Animals

It’s good to know that insanity still exists in the world of cartoons.

That was just…there are so few words. A toilet joke? Aquaman as a baboon? Lex Luthor as a liger? That is just brilliant. And I know a certain someone who is going to love Wonder Wombat.

This isn’t going to be a full series, but instead just another bunch of cartoon shorts aired alongside the DC Nation cartoon block. Like those Super Best Friends Forever cartoons that were so good. I definitely like where DC’s head is at with all these cartoon shorts.

Joker as a fish? You guys crack me up

More Wreck-It Ralph!

Nothing much new in this new trailer, but it’s still pretty fun. Here’s hoping Wreck-It Ralph does for video game movies what The Incredibles did for superhero movies!

For Blue Power Ranger Fans

Once again the Internet gives without us even having to ask. Animator Mike McCraw has decided to use his infinite talents to make short little bursts of wicked cool Power Rangers animations. Along with Blue, he’s also done Black and Pink (the sexy Rangers), both of which are really good. I don’t know why these exist, but it doesn’t really matter. They do exist, the Internet has housed them and now they are ours to enjoy.

Now he just needs to make one for the Green Ranger…

My 6 Childhood Heroes

I love being a child of the 80s. And consider this said with rose-colored glasses, but we had some awesome cartoons growing up. Granted, now as an adult I know they were all glorified toy commercials, but they were just amazing when I was a kid! Transformers, G.I. Joe, the Teenage Mutant Ninja  Turtles! There’s just no denying that my generation had it made.

And considering my life now, with the nerd blog, a love of comics and an action figure collection, I think it’s safe to say those early cartoons and TV shows definitely started me down this road of geekery.

Behold greatness!

So let’s play everyone’s favorite game from those old shows and ask: who’s your favorite? You all know you have a favorite. Who’s your favorite Thundercat? Who’s your favorite G.I. Joe? And the big one: who’s your favorite Ninja Turtle? Join me after the jump to see my answers to those life-defining questions from my childhood, and find out who my favorite pop culture heroes were when I was a little kid – and I’d love to hear yours in the comments.
