Remember when Korra was promising in the first half a dozen episodes? Recall the rest of that sorry affair. Korra has much better animated action scenes than Avatar, but man, it is duller than anything. As poorly written as bad harem light novels too. Korra is like an awful LN protagonist, except genderswapped, with about as much personality and lack of competence. Season 1's ending was like high school level fanfiction. The rest of the show was barely better conceived and planned out, sometimes worse. Yes, it ends with a believable, respectfully depicted lesbian relationship, which is pretty awesome in an American cartoon, but it doesn't excuse the rest of the series! Avatar is endlessly superior in every way, besides animation quality. Can we get Avatar: The Later Years for real next time?

I think Powerpuff Girls should count, even if it did come out back before anime was well and truly a thing.

Uhhhh Powerpuff Girls was all the rage back when Gundam Wing, DBZ, and Sailor Moon were the most popular cartoons on TV. Saying it was on before anime was a "thing" is silly. Besides, anime was popular in America even back to the 80s with Robotech, Star Blazers, etc. It's strongly anime-inspired too. You can tell that's what the staff was going for. It even has a Japanese anime retelling. It's that anime. Samurai Jack (by some of the same staff) goes along those lines too.
