Starting to think I lowballed Astro Boy a bit. It's definitely behind the 4 shows above it in terms of acclaim (in the west at least) but I think it clearly makes up for it in influence and cultural impact. I moved it from 13 to 10.

My main question with this is still the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons and the like. They truly transcend the medium, but it's difficult to measure how much is it because a show, the movies, all the marketing around it, etc.
