I just finished binging the Sunbow and DIC series for the first time in awhile. Not sure which was my least favorite episode of DIC. I guess technically the clip shows, but I don't count those, as clip shows are always the default worst of any TV series.
I just think the DIC shows get a bad wrap in general. I love those episodes. I highly suspect that most of the hate just comes from the fact that it using newer characters and designs from the early 90's toy line, which has traditionally been an era of the toy line that people seem less thrilled with. So as a result there is already a built in bias against giving the DIC series a chance. At the end of the day, it is not that different from the Sunbow series in terms of episode plots, ranging from the serious, to the goofy, and to the weird. There are only some aspects of the show that I find weaker than Sunbow. The animation isn't quite as good. The background music and title music are very inferior to the score used for Sunbow. And while Sunbow had its share of jokes and comic relief characters (like the Dreadnoks), I find that DIC dials the comic relief up little higher than I would like it to be, but it's not egregiously higher than what Sunbow provides. Some people like to over exaggerate the goofiness of the DIC plots, but really, is something like Pigskin Commandos any more goofy than something like The Greenhouse Effect? Anyway, end rant. I love all of ARAH, Sunbow and DIC. And I love seeing most of the ARAH action figures from all years in action on TV. I do like season 2 of Sunbow tho |

In this case I gotta give it to Iceberg Goes South as the animation was pretty good compared to all the DIC episodes.

Chunnel was really bad. Watch Timmer's Half The Battle YouTube review of it. I did like that DIC did an episode with Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Scarlett, since Sunbow drove me nuts by having never having Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow interact. Unfortunately, the animation was pretty weak.
