Tak is not an anime. The Zelda cartoon were not anime. They were good ol' American broadcast garbage.
I used to love Nickelodeon, but all my favorite shows are ending. FOP, JN, and now Drake & Josh have all ended. I used to love watching Rocket power way back in the day. I don't see it ANYWHERE anymore. Now they got all this BS everywhere. Stuff like Danny Phantom, Avatar, etc. stuff that tries to be like anime but phailz miserably, and sucks. Plus other bs, like catscratch, that is not entertaining in the least bit. A lot of their teen shows are nothing like the old ones. How can you compare crap like Just Jordan, Ned's Declassified, and Zoey 101 to good ol' All That, Amanda Show, and Nick Cannon show? You can't. You've lost your luster Nick. And to top it all off, you now have puppets that flip burgers (Mr. Meaty) and little brats pretending to play instruments and pretending to know how to date but phail miserably (Naked Bros. Band).
Mmmm. Same goes for Cartoon Network. And to an extent, Kid's WB. I used to watch these three channels like crazy. Cartoon Network had some of my favorites back in the day, with the "Cartoon cartoons" that even though they were, how you say, more of "kid" shows, like Dexter, and Cow and Chicken, I would gladly give up BS like Foster, KND, Camp Lazlo, and etc. to have them all back. Toonami used to be cool, now they're gay and just as bad as 4kids tv. If you watch their anime and know anything about the Japanese versions, you would know they screw them up so badly. And they put crap to begin with. Besides, toonami's new look reminds me of a combination of Thomas the Tank Engine in a star wars theme. Blech.
It just seems as life goes on, things get stupider. Another example, remember how years ago, you could go and see any movie in a theatre, and be impressed? What happened to that? Why do we have so much crap for movies now? It's just messed up is all.
