Fire Force has been having an amazing season cuz today episode was epic as fukk 
Essential What Anime are you currently watching?
hey, folks. I know I ain't been in here in a minute (still way more on the manga kick) but I got a quick anime-ish question for yall.
General consensus has pretty much been that the first real american equivalent to anime is Avatar: The Last Airbender, right.
But me and my girl were talking earlier, and it got me to thinking:
Is the first real equivalent really Disney's Gargoyles? It had the adult themes, the world building, the long overarching plots, the crazy plot twists, the villains who weren't really villains, etc etc etc
before that, everything was pretty much "foil the villains' kooky plan of the week in 30 minutes for 13 eps, sell some toys."

Arthur cementing why he's my favorite character in Fire Force 
I never watched Avatar but I can definitely agree with ya'll Gargoyles take. But I'll add this...
Xmen series from the 90's had seasons like anime too. Sure for the most part the episodes were singular but they ran with an overall plot for the season. You had the Sentinels for the 1st season, Sinister/Savage land season 2, season 3 outer space shyt, and etc...
I'm an 80's nikka so the 1st real shyt that we saw as anime over here was Thundercats
