    Default Newsarama ranks the top 10 animated series based on comics

    Pretty nice list, but not sure about the order.

    10. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
    9. Ducktales
    8. The Tick
    7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    6. Justice League Unlimited
    5. Super Friends
    4. Spiderman
    3. X-Men: The Animated Series
    2. Young Justice
    1. Batman: The Animated Series

    I've never seen Spiderman or Young Justice but I would definitely have Justice League Unlimited higher than #6.

    Spectacular Spider-Man deserves to be on that list over like half of those listed

    YJ is too high, JLU is too low and the lack of Teen Titans makes me suspect that whoever made this list is a hack.

    Those 90's X-Men and Spiderman shows were good for the time, but their cheapness really dampers their legacy. It's hard to justify their high standing without appealing to nostalgia. Super Friends is the same too.

    Completely ignores animated series based on non-American comics. No Cybersix, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Death Note, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Adventures of Tintin etc.

    Agreed.

    Is anyone really going to argue that Super Friends is a well animated, well written, well put together show? So by what criteria is it one of the top ten?

    Least they got #1 right. A:EMH is too low and The Spectacular Spider-Man should be among the ten, I have it second only to B:TAS.

    I can kind of get including Super Friends and TMNT for their impact alone but they don't belong on a list with The Tick and Young Justice. Teen Titans and even X-Men: Evolution are better additions. The aforementioned Spectacular Spider-Man should replace regular ole' Spider-Man.

    And it may be too soon to include the currently ongoing Harley Quinn in the list but at the pace it's going at, can see it ending up pretty high on countdowns of this kind once it wraps.
