[Kelthaz]

Rocko's Modern Life?
Family Guy?
Rocko's Modern Life?
Death Note?
Rocko's Modern Life?

What the?

 

[Kegg]

Rocko's Modern Life?
Family Guy?

If one considers those science fiction cartoons you're making the term so broad as to be virtually meaningless (as same criteria will include the Simpsons, South Park, et cetera).

 

[Icemizer]

Johnny Quest trumps all.

 

[Pilot Ace]

What a weird list of shows.

 

[C.E. Evans]

The Seikai Trilogy: Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars, and Banner of the Stars II.

Epic space opera.

 

[Gotham Central]

Johnny Quest trumps all.

Which Johnny Quest?

 

[Gotham Central]

The Seikai Trilogy: Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars, and Banner of the Stars II.

Epic space opera.

Is that Anime? Lets leave anime out of this.

and of course the best animated series on American TV in the 90's (and the only one with a definite begining middle and end)...Exosquad.

 

[Goji]

Invader Zim, then Samurai Jack. The Tick is pretty good too, if it counts.

 

[Kelthaz]

The Seikai Trilogy: Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars, and Banner of the Stars II.

Epic space opera.

Is that Anime? Lets leave anime out of this.

Several anime were included in the poll.

 

[EnsignRicky]

I picked the science fiction one.

 

[Thestral]

Johnny Quest trumps all.

Which Johnny Quest?

The Real one of course.

This is an odd selection of shows to be sure, both in terms of sticking to the topic (scifi cartoons) and in what made it/didn't make it.

 

[Hound of UIster]

the original Gundam
Exo-Squad
Cowboy Bebop
Batman Animated Series
Gun X Sword
Macross

The Seikai Trilogy: Crest of the Stars, Banner of the Stars, and Banner of the Stars II.

Epic space opera.

And sanitized fanwank of Imperial Japan/Imperial Japanese Navy and the Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Is that Anime? Lets leave anime out of this.

Japan has a good record (even in the current death throes of the anime industry) of doing science fiction related animation and using ideas from science fiction writers like Asimov and Clarke.

 

[Bishop76]

Had to go with Cowboy Bebop. Some of these aren't even sci-fi...

 

[Angel4576]

How has no one mentioned Ulysses 31 yet?!

Anyhow - Robotech/Macross

 

[T'Girl]

Starblazers/Space Battleship Yamato.

Bubblegum Crisis.

Gunbuster.

And Futurama too.

 

[Orac]

Why is there only one Batman series on the list?

Also where is Return to the Planet of the Apes?

My vote goes to Sealab 2021.
