Wakfu

Do not confuse Wakfu with Waifu : it's not the same thing.

This show is very close to anime but it's dessin animé and it's amasing. It's currently aired in France on saturday mornings (19 episodes aired so far) and if any of you have the opportunity : try and have a look at it. The writers and artists who are working on this cartoon are the first generation in France who grew up with the massive diffusion of japanese anime : they even hired a senior animator from studio ghibli.
This show is amazingly top notch : Visually, it feels like watching a movie. The scenario is aimed for all ages but it manages to still appeal to grown up.

Look at this short sequence for an example :(English sub).

In addition to the awesome action scenes, there is also a lot of adventure and funny and lovable characters. Trailer

I really love it, if you can understand French or find a subbed version : go for it.

They showed this for a while at my local anime club (despite being in French, rather than Japanese... but we don't descriminate, we watched a Russian anime too XD). It is undeniably awesome. The only problem we had was that fansubs were scarce and we only got something like six episodes... :(
