	* '''Thundarr the Barbarian:''' Hanna-Barbera's [[Science Fantasy]] series set in the far future ruins of the United States. It's a collection of everything popular in early 80s: fantasy, post-apocalypse, buff barbarians, Chewbacca look-alikes, <s>tits</s> princesses, light sabers and cheese. Copious amounts of cheese. If you ever wanted to run pulp megadungeon, look no further for inspiration. Aged far better than most 80s cartoons, since it wasn't intended to be a 20 minute long toy commercial.		* '''Thundarr the Barbarian:''' Hanna-Barbera's [[Science Fantasy]] series set in the far future ruins of the United States.

	*'''[[Thundercats]]:''' Regarded by /tg/ as "Dangerously [[Furry]]: the Cartoon". A [[Science Fantasy]] series revolving around a group of survivors from the destroyed world of Thundera crashlanding on the apocalyptic ruins of a far-future Earth and trying to rebuild their civilization, whilst battling mutants, monsters, magic and the ancient [[mummy]]-[[lich]]-thing called "Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living". Essentally He-Man, but more focus on action than on goofy comedy. Infamous for the Cheetara Paradox: if you want to bang Cheetara you're a furfag, but if you don't you're gay. Like He-Man, it also got a darker, edgier, more serious 2011 remake that fell through because <s>nobody watched it</s> <s>everyone was turned away by the tone shift</s> [[Derp\|Cartoon Network wanted to replace it with Lego Chima]]. While the 2011 version is incomplete it still a very enjoyable watch as long as you don't mind some minor pacing problems.		*'''[[Thundercats]]:''' Regarded by /tg/ as "Dangerously [[Furry]]: the Cartoon".

	== ~~Unapproved, But Mineable~~ ==		== Web Series ==
	~~Any cartoons that have /tg/-worthy subject matter, but it's not like fa/tg/uys opinions really matter anyway.~~

			* '''The Amazing Digital Circus''': ''I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream'' as a black comedy. Leave it to millennials to turn one of the most [[grimdark]] stories in history into something people would want to fap to. The story of a hapless office worker ensnared by Caine - a rogue AI who brainjacks humans for his "circus" and "entertains" them with Roblox-style VR games as they slowly go insane from losing their bodies, until they finally succumb to bitrot and become mindless monsters. Brutal existentialism and the hollowness of modern society wrapped in a candy coating, and the [[Server Crash]] adaptation we never asked for.
			* '''Ongezellig''': Title literally translates to "unfriendliness" so you know you're in for a ride. Ensemble comedy about adopted sisters [[/pol/\|Mymy]], [[/a/\|Maya]] and [[Tumblr\|Coco]] showing off their deep-seated personality problems as they work through a school project. Great material for schtick at the table and reaction webms, and Mymy gets a special mention for joining the likes of Konata and Lain in 4chan's "literally me club" almost from the word go.

			== Honorable Mentions ==
	*'''[[BattleTech]]:''' Yes, BattleTech had a cartoon series. It talks about a Adam Steiner and the 1st Somerset Strikers. It wasn't that good. Its production value was lacklustre and being forced into the animation age ghetto did not help. Its notable for its early use of transiting between traditional cel-animation and computer-generated imaging. While not godawful it was at best a slightly above average Saturday morning cartoon that's inappropriate to it's subject manner. What's even more notable is that the show exists in the BattleTech universe. You read that right, this cartoon that depicts BattleTech actually exists in the BattleTech universe. Can give inspiration on how the actions of a party can be distorted or changed to fit a different narrative. Also attracts much [[rage]] from fans of [[The Clans]] because the series is based around Inner Sphere protagonists, and thus the Clans are shown as a bunch of lunatics who just randomly showed up and invaded one day. So of course, CGL retconned the cartoon to be an in-universe propaganda cartoon made by the Inner Sphere, and the actual events of the show required a much larger army to accomplish than our plucky band of heroes, fighting against second-line Clan garrisons rather than the elites of the first invasion.		*'''[[BattleTech]]:''' Yes, BattleTech had a cartoon series.

	*'''Men in Black: The Series:''' One of numerous 90s projects to turn successful blockbusters into Saturday morning cartoons. It has a simple enough premise: Agent Kay didn't retire after the events of the first movie, so he's still Jay's partner and they work cases together. Police procedural for kids, just with aliens, superheroes and all the other weird shit the writers could get away with. Quality is all over the place (which is why it's borderline unapproved), but a good source of ideas for your Laundry Files and Delta Green campaigns.		*'''Men in Black: The Series:''' One of numerous 90s projects to turn successful blockbusters into Saturday morning cartoons.

	*'''Jumanji''': Like a lot of successful and semi-successful films, Jumanji ended up with a follow-up cartoon. Pretty much what you'd want to see if Alan had stayed in Jumanji and Peter and Judy went on adventures with him. While the art style is (intentionally) weird, the episodes are amazingly mineable for campaigns and world-building ideas. Also featured many references to other works, but with a fun twist.		*'''Jumanji''': Like a lot of successful and semi-successful films, Jumanji ended up with a follow-up cartoon.

	*'''Love, Death & Robots''': An animated anthology series that's all over the place, from comedy to cosmic horror and from pure skub for easy clickbait to genuinely good content, but remains very minable. First season's "[[Tyranids\|Suits]]", "[[Vampire\|Sucker of Souls]]", "[[Machine_Spirit\|Lucky 13]]", "[[Kitsune\|Good Hunting]]" and especially "[[Warp\|Beyond the Aquila Rift]]" and "[[Delta_Green\|The Secret War]]" are very much approved. The second season is full of shit, tho, skip it outright. Third season's entire saving grace comes in form of "[[Gothic_Horror\|Bad Travelling]]" and if you squint really hard, then "[[Delta_Green\|In Vaulted Halls Entombed]]" and "[[Q'Orl \| Swarm]]" (if you believe in the theory that the [[Eldar]] created the [[Tau]]) get a pass. The rest is mostly cool visuals (with acid trips) and jokes about America.		*'''Love, Death & Robots''': An animated anthology series that's all over the place, from comedy to cosmic horror and from pure skub for easy clickbait to genuinely good content, but remains very minable.

Cthulhu\|How Zeke Got Religion]]'', hard squinting at ''[[Ironclaw\|For He Can Creep]]'', bunch of cool visuals and a metric tonne of shit.

	*'''The New Adventures of Ocean Girl''': An Australian animated series, predominately aimed at teenage girls, but coming in a package with a complex world full of original races. Good world-building and bunch of interesting plot hooks and easy-to-reuse plot twists.		*'''The New Adventures of Ocean Girl''': An Australian animated series, predominately aimed at teenage girls, but coming in a package with a complex world full of original races.

	*'''Delta State''': All Psyker Party: The Series. Four flat-mates are trying to both figure out their life after suffering from amnesia and in the same time prevent the invasion of body-stealing Rifters [[Warp\|from another dimension]]. While it sounds like nothing in particular, it packs a punch and easily hooks you up with interesting universe and very relatable characters - the series was a successful attempt to deliver something like seinen for Western animation, so it's not for kids, but also avoids all the pitfalls of your typical "adult animation".		*'''Delta State''': All Psyker Party: The Series.

			*'''The Dragon Prince''': The two sons of a dead king, an elvish assassin, and a pet toad travel across the world in hopes of reuniting the titular dragon prince with his parents and stopping all-out war between humans and elves. Seven seasons. Has tie-in RPG, '''Tales of Xadia''', using the Cortex System

	*'''[[D%26D_Cartoon\|Dungeons & Dragons]]''': An absolute classic, worth watching even for the sake of the status alone. While the series still shows a lot of potential, most of it was wasted on too short episodes made on shoe-string budget. Being partially entangled into the [[Satanic Panic]] didn't help either. Still, worth watching. Just bring beer and friends. And a notepad for oldschool ideas. Sadly never got a proper canon ending. Is ''incredibly'' popular in Brazil, too.		*'''[[D%26D_Cartoon\|Dungeons & Dragons]]''': An absolute classic, worth watching even for the sake of the status alone.

Still, worth watching. Just bring beer and friends. And a notepad for oldschool ideas. Sadly never got a proper canon ending. Is ''incredibly'' popular in Brazil, too.
			*'''The Hollow''': Effectively ''Dungeons & Dragons'' for zoomers and feels like someone's megadungeon turned into a script. A group of teens wake up in an unfamiliar place with absolutely no memory of where they are, how they got there, or even who they are. After escaping their initial containment, they try to figure out their way home - whatever home even was - while navigating a positively weird world. Saying anything more would spoil the shit out of it, and it's best experienced completely blind. Has two seasons, with the second being optional.

	*'''Jumanji''': Like a lot of successful and semi-successful films, Jumanji ended up with a follow-up cartoon. Pretty much what you'd want to see if Alan had stayed in Jumanji and Peter and Judy went on adventures with him.

	*'''Omer and the Starchild''': A French animated series. A truly rich world-building mixed with a lot of New Age imagery and unexpectedly dark story for a kids show. The series follows adventures of Dan, the titular Starchild, in his quest to free "Twelve Wizards" and unite them against the evil Morkhan.		*'''Omer and the Starchild''': A French animated series.

			*'''The Owl House''': A teenage girl finds a door into another world full of magic, befriends a renegade witch and decides to learn wizardry, crashing at the series' eponymous residential structure as she does so. All the while The Boiling Isles where the events take place is under the authority of a mysterious Emperor with dark deeds in mind. Released as a sister series to Amphibia, it got two full seasons and three specials to wrap it up due to some backlash by vocal [[Satanic Panic]] assholes. At least 80% of the online fanbase is lesbian porn addicts; you have been warned.

	*'''Papyrus''': An animated adaptation of Franco-Belgian comics. An epic tale of a young fisherman tangled into the conflict between Egyptian gods, tasked with the mission of freeing Horus and putting end to the reign of Seth... regardless if Papyrus himself wants to or not being a plaything of gods.		*'''Papyrus''': An animated adaptation of Franco-Belgian comics.

	*''' Pirates of Dark Water''': A science-fantasy cartoon. The alien world of Mer is being devoured by an evil substance known as Dark Water. Only Ren, a young prince, can stop it by finding the lost Thirteen Treasures of Rule. His loyal crew of misfits that help in his journey are ecomancer Tula, a monkey-bird Niddler, and treasure-hungry pirate Ioz. The evil pirate lord Bloth will stop at nothing to get the treasures for himself and provides many obstacles for Ren and his crew. Standard quest for magic artifacts to stop an eldritch evil, but the creature design is where things got badass. The world of Mer was home to many creatures which can inspire a DM.		*''' Pirates of Dark Water''': A science-fantasy cartoon.

There was also an [https://archive.org/details/podw-rpg-charactersheets/podw-rpg-charactersheets/ official role-playing game], with its own bestiary.

			* '''Jana of the Jungle''': Hanna-Barbera's take on the archetypical pulp character of "blond chick in fur bikini raised by natives, now having adventures in the jungle with her big cat". As such, it tackles just about every single possible scenario and accompanying archetypes from those pulps, making it a condensed way to learn the ropes with this kind of stuff. Somewhat on the short note (it was a companion show, rather than its own thing), but still good watch, prime idea-mining material, and, above all, not taking itself too seriously.
	* '''Jonny Quest:''' '''''The''''' adventure series from Hanna-Barbera, notable originally for being first "realistic" cartoon to be made and having amounts of violence and brutality - for a show ostentiably aimed at very young kids - that makes moral watchdogs twitch to this day. For those same reasons, it is also never-ending source of pulp ideas and weird science plots. Even if you never saw it, there is a high chance you can recognise the characters and hum the main theme, regardless of nationality. Comes in three distinctive flavours, all three very much approved:		* '''Jonny Quest:''' '''''The''''' adventure series from Hanna-Barbera, notable originally for being first "realistic" cartoon to be made and having amounts of violence and brutality - for a show ostentiably aimed at very young kids - that makes moral watchdogs twitch to this day.

	*'''[[BattleTech]]:''' Yes, BattleTech had a cartoon series. It talks about a Adam Steiner and the 1st Somerset Strikers. It wasn't that good. Its production value was lacklustre and being forced into the animation age ghetto did not help. Its notable for its early use of transiting between traditional cel-animation and computer-generated imaging. While not godawful it was at best a slightly above average Saturday morning cartoon that's inappropriate to it's subject manner. What's even more notable is that the show exists in the BattleTech universe. You read that right, this cartoon that depicts BattleTech actually exists in the BattleTech universe. Can give inspiration on how the actions of a party can be distorted or changed to fit a different narrative. Also attracts much [[rage]] from fans of [[The Clans]] because the series is based around Inner Sphere protagonists, and thus the Clans are shown as a bunch of lunatics who just randomly showed up and invaded one day. So of course, CGL retconned the cartoon to be an in-universe propaganda cartoon made by the Inner Sphere, and the actual events of the show required a much larger army to accomplish than our plucky band of heroes, fighting against second-line Clan garrisons rather than the elites of the first invasion.		*'''[[BattleTech]]:''' Yes, BattleTech had a cartoon series.

			*'''Blue Eye Samurai:''' Netflix original miniseries trying to be... a whole lot of different things. But that's precisely what makes it so mineable - every episode is a condensed course of specific aspects of either jidai geki movies or shounen anime, some to the point of turning entire, decade-long franchises into a single, 50 minute episode. If you are completely illiterate in either of those or need a ready-to-use recipe for such a scenario, it's a 101 and 201 course in a single package. So if it's so great at explaining genre cliches, plot devices and how to turn those into quests and game scenarios, why is it unapproved? Because it's shit, that's why. If you somehow managed to endure an entire cast of absolutely insufferable characters, then after a solid start and more-or-less decent five episodes, it takes a spectacular nose-dive with what the creators clearly intended to be their main selling point and eye-candy, and then just keeps going worse and worse. Never before has promising potential been squandered in such a carefree and deliberate way.

	*'''Hazbin Hotel:''' Cartoon Network-tier [[Slaanesh\|Slaaneshii stuff]], man. A grimdark musical dramedy about the princess of hell (who acts like a typical Disney princess) and her girlfriend opening a hotel where demons are reformed in the hope that they will be able to checkout into Heaven, so that Hell won't be forced to go through regular population purges anymore. Their first test subject is a drug addicted spider demon porn star. A mysterious and extremely powerful demon known as Alastor (A.K.A.: The Radio Demon), who is convinced that demons are irredeemable so their plan is impossible, offers to help so that he can enjoy watching them fail. Pretty good for character ideas if you want to make a demon or demon-like entity that isn't another cliché Always Chaotic Evil stereotype. In addition to be amazing mining material on ideas for uniquely designed demonic entities. Been on extended hiatus since its pilot released years ago but has recently announced an offical premiere date so more to come soon.		*'''Hazbin Hotel:''' Cartoon Network-tier [[Slaanesh\|Slaaneshii stuff]], man.

	*'''Hilda:''' Based on a series of comics and books of the same name, this Netflix series focuses on the eponymous Hilda, a young and blue-haired girl who is absolutely fascinated by the natural world and lives (at first) with her mother in a cabin in the woods before moving to a quaint and rather comfy-looking town and making some friends her own age (while still hanging out with a tiny two-inch tall elf and her pet deerfox Twig). The series is rather cute overall with some heavy touches of creepiness spread throughout, as well as some interesting magical creatures and monsters. Recently got a second season released and <s>rumors of a third being in the works</s>. The rumors of a third and final season has been confirmed as well as the release of a movie/extended episode.		*'''Hilda:''' Based on a series of comics and books of the same name, this Netflix series focuses on the eponymous Hilda, a young and blue-haired girl who is absolutely fascinated by the natural world and lives (at first) with her mother in a cabin in the woods before moving to a quaint and rather comfy-looking town and making some friends her own age (while still hanging out with a tiny two-inch tall elf and her pet deerfox Twig).

			*'''Men in Black: The Series:''' One of numerous 90s projects to turn successful blockbusters into Saturday morning cartoons. It has a simple enough premise: Agent Kay didn't retire after the events of the first movie, so he's still Jay's partner and they work cases together. Police procedural for kids, just with aliens, superheroes and all the other weird shit the writers could get away with. Quality is all over the place (which is why it's borderline unapproved), but a good source of ideas for your Laundry Files and Delta Green campaigns.
			*'''South Park''': It's been such a massive cornerstone of US culture that it hardly needs mentioning, but we're still giving it a shot here. Bizarre, crude and thoroughly satirical, the show follows the misadventures of a group of four 10 year old boys (Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny) in the rural town of South Park, Colorado. The earlier seasons are typical late 90s edgelord humour, later seasons lent much harder on parodizing and mocking a lot of US culture, fads and celebrities with story lines that range from strange to full-on out of this world moon logic. South Park is mineable for analyzing how its stories and conflicts work if you want to tell a story or campaign that truly gets off the rails, and especially some of the multi-episode storylines often go deep into nerd culture.

	*'''Regular Show:''' A weird show that appeared on Cartoon Network with a really crappy final season, though the final episode is okay. Still, quirky characters, more than a few /tg/ worthy references, and a few decent jokes with lol random stuff all over the place make it decent enough if you need something to play while you paint that Gaunt Swarm. Basic premise is that the show follows the everyday lives of a group of park caretakers as they deal with regular issues that usually spiral out of control and become ridiculous and or supernatural. Main characters are a pair of immature slackers Mordecai and Rigby, an anthropomorphic blue jay and raccoon respectively.		*'''Regular Show:''' A weird show that appeared on Cartoon Network with a really crappy final season, though the final episode is okay.
