ThunderCats (1985)

The best-looking show here. ThunderCats was animated in Japan by Pacific Animation Corporation, and the fluid fights and moody lighting still stand apart from the stiffer American toy cartoons of the era. Mumm-Ra, the decaying sorcerer in his pyramid, is one of the decade's great villains, and the theme song is still pure hype. With 130 episodes across four seasons, there is plenty of filler, so treat the first season as the main event and sample the rest.
