Best Animated Action Series of Past Decade

I believe I said that in reference to Titan, which only ran one season of 20 episodes, not GL or YJ :)

You may have meant it in reference to Titan, but your post only mentioned GL, so it appeared to me that was what you were referencing.
 
Needs anime...

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
Attack on Titan
Gurren Lagann
Psycho Pass
Kill la Kill
Fate Zero
Tiger and Bunny
Code Geass
Birdy the Mighty Decode
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Xam'd Lost Memories
Btooom!
Deadman Wonderland
Darker than Black
High School of the Dead

and winner = Black Lagoon

but I'm sure I'm forgetting loads.
 
Iron Man Armoured Adventures was a really great show that really surpassed its previous TV incarnations (now if only Marvel and Genius Entertainment would finish releasing the series on Blu-Ray, or at least do a widescreen DVD reissue of Season 1). "Wolverine & The X-Men" was good too; it didn't surpass the 90's "X-Men" in terms of story quality and appeal, but it was a good series.
 
I'm actually just finishing my rewatch of W&XM, and I love the X-Men but I just don't dig this cartoon. I don't like the premise, I don't like the team, I don't like the future stories...

Iron Man Armored Adventures was very forgettable at first but I did enjoy the second season a lot more as they started using more Marvel U characters.

On the Anime front yes as the best one in the last ten years for me was the recent:

Space Battleship Yamato: 2199 <-- The modernized retelling of one of the most classic animes of the last 40 years.:techman::)
 
Futurama, One-Punch Man should be up there, I have yet to check out Tron. Young Justice is cool, too bad it got canceled
 
Funny thing about Young Justice is how it killed Teen Titans only to be replaced by albeit a comedic babier (despite appearances, this show is also subversive and clever.) version of Teen Titans starring exactly the same cast that got fired, who have now made 156 eight minute episodes.

Seriously.

The Boondocks.
 
Off the top of my head:

Black Lagoon
Jormungand
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Kurokami
One Punch Man
Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple
Baccano!
Fate/Zero
Blast of Tempest
Birdy the Mighty: Decode
Hellsing Ultimate
Noir
Psycho-Pass
Sword Art Online
Darker Than Black
The Irregular at Magic Highschool
K
Noragami
Parasyte
 
Green Lantern: The Animated Series was phenomenal. The stories were tight, the characters were rich, deep, and interesting, and it looked pretty cool. The universe they depicted felt immense and dangerous, and I wanted more so, so badly.

Transformers Prime was pretty good, too. That'd be my second choice, although the show got weaker as it went on. The final movie sucked.
 
Wow, somebody really went on one hell of a archelogical expedition with this thread.
 
In no particular order

Avengers EMH Marvel
Planetes
Attack on Titan
One Punch Man
Monster
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir
Skyland
Rick and Morty
Archer
Teen Titans DC

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I hear lots of good things about this, I might check it out
 
^Archer and Rick and Morty are favorites of mine too. I've also started watching Adventure Time recently and it's blast.
 
I feel most animation don't stand up to the classic 1990s Batman animated series, a few have come close
 
Can't say I've seen all those shows to compare, but Wolverine and the X-Men was a highlight of the ones I've seen. Really hit its stride in its second half
