Jacky shan being the biggest for me, found almost all episodes and binged in a few days. I realized the show is actually very formulaic. Bad guys want to collect a number of artifacts, the good guys tries to collect them all before the bad guys and succeeded but then the bad guys get all the artifacts in the end and the good guys have to stop them. This was plot for season 1,3,4,5,6 and with 2 having the most episode but are all filler. I also watche 50 Code Lyoko but got bored, there almost 100 episodes

Obviously those shows weren't meant to be binged but even then they are repetitive, however with jacky shan i have nostalgia and its still special to me

I watched Batman: The Animated Series recently. Obviously still very good, I think everyone agrees with that. I don't think I appreciated the uniqueness of art deco Gotham when I was little.

I also watched a few episodes of Animaniacs a while ago, and I definitely did not pick up on some of the jokes in that show when it was first on. :P
