The most boisterous animation you've ever seen.

It's a show that begs to be loud; it's jokes are loud, the character designs are loud, the fights are loud, the music, etc. So what do you think is the most boisterous animated show you've seen?

For me, it's a tie between Invader Zim and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

The characters in Zim are always screaming and the designs just fit for the crazy jokes that go on. The music is intense in almost every scene, even the one's where nothing is happening at all. The paranoia and horror established in the estranged world of Zim just beckons to be loud at every second.

Bobobo is another show that just won't stop screaming. If it's not the very strange art style then it has to be the wierd humor that goes into it. Half the time people are screaming, being kicked, smacked, beaten, with stupid amounts of bulging eyes. Can't get more boisterous than that.
 
Probably Ed, Edd, n Eddy and Ren & Stimpy would fit the bill here. Although, it helps that they have an art style where a character screaming causes them to be three times bigger than before. I remember an episode, I think it was "Tinker Ed", where Eddy actually spoke in a calm, soothing voice for one of the longest points in the series. And that was during it's finale season of the show!

I think Fairly Oddparents might be unintentionally loud. The characters are always shouting, but I feel like they don't MEAN to shout, they were just giving direction to do so because I guess the producers thought kids found it hilarious, not sure. Kind of wore thin after awhile, and it didn't really have animation to fit it.

OH, and Bob Clampett as a whole. All of his animated Warner Brothers shorts were just so insane, I have no idea how a human hand could even draw that much stuff on one tiny piece of paper.
 
A recent boisterous one is definitely Problem Solverz. Most compare it to being on an acid trip when watching it. Purely on animation sake, it's bright neon colors and retro and weird style definitely scream loud to me. It's not a favorite of mine but, yeah, it has my "loud" vote.

I was thinking about this yesterday when watching Akira. The coloring is just simply amazing. So bright, vivid, and the animation especially when they talk is very fluid. It's a freakin beauty to look at.
 
Indeed, particularly his cartoons from 1945 and 1946. By that point, the characters are practically leaping off the screen. I always point to "The Bashful Buzzard" as a prime example of how wild Bob Clampett's animation got during this period in his career (it pretty much blows away Clampett's first Beaky Buzzard cartoon, "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid", and that was just three years prior), but it's by no means the only example - look at "A Gruesome Twosome", "Baby Bottleneck", "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery", and "Kitty Kornered" for more evidence of animation at its absolute wildest.
