I'm not sure if I should crush Ryan's hopes, but all those cartoons are animated in Japan... or Korea.

You know, after becoming used to anime, I thought there was something reminiscent of it in the animation of ThunderCats and SilverHawks (specially the openings) as well as some parts of Batman: The Animated Series. It just looked particularly good to me...

Confirming said suspicion on Wikipedia many years later put a smile on my face. I knew it !

Sunrise actually did a few of those episodes.  I actually found those episodes to have been the best animation wise.

Huh, so it was Sunrise themselves... All I knew was that some Japanese animators were involved in it, and then went on to work on Cowboy Bebop.

I should rewatch the series sometime. I still consider it to be the best Batman adaptation I've seen.

There were lots of animation companies involved.  This is the list I'm shamelessly stealing from some forum that got it from another site of some kind:

Akom
Be a Clown; The Cat and the Claw (II); Cat Scratch Fever; Christmas with the Joker; Feat of Clay (I); Joker's Wild; The Last Laugh; Mad as a Hatter; The Mechanic; Moon of the Wolf; Prophecy of Doom; The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne; What Is Reality?.

Blue Pencil
Day of the Samurai; If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?.

Dong Yang
Almost Got 'Im; Appointment in Crime Alley; Bane; Batgirl Returns; Birds of a Feather; The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy; Catwalk; Deep Freeze; Fire from Olympus; The Forgotten; Harlequinade; Harley and Ivy; Harley's Holiday; House and Garden; I've Got Batman in My Basement; Joker's Favor; The Laughing Fish; The Lion and the Unicorn; Lock-Up; Make Em Laugh; Night of the Ninja; Nothing to Fear; Paging the Crime Doctor; Perchance to Dream; Riddler's Reform; Robin's Reckoning (II); Second Chance; See No Evil; Shadow of the Bat (I); Shadow of the Bat (II); Showdown; Sideshow; Terror in the Sky; Time Out of Joint; Trial; Two Face (II); Tyger Tyger; The Worry Men; Zatanna.

Jade
The Terrible Trio.

Spectrum
Beware the Gray Ghost; Heart of Ice; His Silicon Soul; It's Never Too Late; On Leather Wings; P.O.V.; Robin's Reckoning (I); Vendetta.

Studio Junio
Avatar; Baby Doll; Blind as a Bat; A Bullet for Bullock; Dreams in Darkness; Mudslide; The Underdwellers.

Sunrise
The Cat and the Claw (I); The Clock King; Eternal Youth; Heart of Steel (I); Heart of Steel (II); I Am the Night; The Man Who Killed Batman; Off Balance; Pretty Poison.

Tokyo Movie Shinsa
The Demon's Quest; Fear of Victory; Feat of Clay (II); Read My Lips; Two Face (I).

The New Batman Adventures

Koko/Dong Yang
Animal Act; Beware the Creeper; Chemistry; Cold Comfort; Critters; The Cult of the Cat; The Demon Reborn; Girl's Night Out; Holiday Knights; Judgment Day; Knight Time; Legends of the Dark Knight; Love is a Croc; Old Wounds; Sins of the Father; The Ultimate Thrill; You Scratch My Back.

TMS
Growing Pains; Mean Seasons; Never Fear; Over the Edge.

It's not 100% accurate though.  Sunrise did Feat of Clay episode 2 for instance.
