The wait is over! In the official premiere of The GeekCast Radio Network’s Top 100 Animated Series 15th Anniversary Edition, host Steve Megatron kicks off the countdown alongside TFG1Mike and the master of the list himself, OptimusSolo. With over 40 contributors and a decade and a half of history behind us, this is the most diverse and unpredictable ranking we have ever produced.

As we dive into shows 100 through 76, the landscape is already shifting. Some nostalgic classics that once dominated the list have been dethroned, while new contenders and fresh perspectives have pushed their way into the Top 100 for the first time. From early morning favorites to prime-time animation powerhouses, we are breaking down the "nerd data," the upsets, and the shows that barely survived the cut. If you think you’ve predicted the #1 spot, think again—the 2026 edition is full of surprises!

• The official reveal of numbers 100-76 on the 2026 all-time list.
• Analysis of the shifting demographics: How 40+ contributors changed the ranking from 2011.
