Shows That Are Seen In A Better Light Nowadays

It did poorly in the ratings. So bad that only a few episodes actually aired on TV and the rest were quietly streamed on the 4Kids website.

Is this a curse with most of the magical girl anime in the US? If that's true, then find any magical girl anime without an unfinished English-language dub.

Ironically I saw Magical Doremi, much like the entire Toonzai/Vortexx Lineup had ratings people would kill for nowadays, only recently has The CW started to get back to doing 700k viewers.

On a personal level, there were a few shows that I was mixed on at first that I absolutely fell in love with later. It might be a season later or it might be years later. Justice League, X-Men Evolution, Generator Rex, The Batman, Batman Beyond, Beast Wars, DragonBall Z, Avatar, Samurai Jack and Beavis and Butthead (mostly the review segments) are a few of the culprits.

I know I have what would be considered terrible taste at times but I like to think I have an eye for quality. It still puzzles me as to why most of these rubbed me the wrong way at first.

There seems to be a lot more appreciation for PBS Kids' animated programs these days. Not to say people hated them back in the day but these days they get more respect than they did previously. Arthur (96), The Magic School Bus (94), WordGirl (07) and Cyberchase (02) are the most famous by far.

Though that's probably because the audience for those grew up, more than anything else.
