Maybe it wouldn't make the field of 64 anyway. If it does, probably like a 15 seed, but I enjoyed it.

Arcane should be a 1 seed
Attack on Titan
Demon hunter
One punch man
Naruto
Not sure if you’re going anime route but there’s a legion of options there if you’re going that way.

I think anime shows should be their own bracket, if you ask me. Honestly, three separate brackets: kids shows, adult animation, and anime.
Not sure adult animation would have enough material for it's own.
I have no experience with anime whatsoever.
I know little about anime, if it's able to carry a 64-show bracket on its own, maybe it's OK to purge it for this one. That's up to committee.
Adult/youth separate divisions, not sure we need to get that specific, if the brackets would be too watered-down overall.
Totally my singular opinion.
You summarized my basic view, with about 35 fewer words.
The ones you mentioned as Hanna Barbera had their own shows/series, they werent an segment/act of a larger variety style show/series. Bugs was a segment of the Looney Tunes. It rarely had any form of stand alone show, let alone series. (The Bugs Bunny Show was more or less just the Looney Tunes show in a different name, being "hosted" by Bugs Bunny) There could be a contest of just the best "shorts" of the Looney Tunes, series lists.
Now if you want to have a list of specific cartoon characters, then yes Bugs would be at or near the top.
But I dont believe this is what this list is, as it appears to be a list of series.
edit: If i remember the looney tunes show was called, bugs bunny show, bugs bunny and the looney tunes show, Looney tunes show etc.
It was essentially all the same thing with Bugs as a segment, of the larger show of tunes. Not necessarily a stand alone of only bugs bunny.
Looney tunes in this case I would say is the entire series through its varrias iterations/names.
to compare hanna barbera to looney tunes you would need to compare it to WB really not just looney tunes. As Hanna Barbera is the parent more like WB with a huge variety of shows.
I may be wrong but essentially all these different iterations were essentially the same or very similar style show of separate shorts of various toons, just called different things over the years, that most call "The Looney Tunes show" today.

Although this will contradict what I posted a bit ago, regarding separation of specific Looney Tunes, you make a valid point. HB tended to be more standalone.
I think it was noted by others earlier in the thread. (Both topics)
Clay-mation, so I suppose it doesn't qualify. It does remind me of "Jot," in my youth time frame/viewing area, those two shows were back-to-back on Sunday morning for a couple of years.
Yeah the problem with trying to separate Bugs, or The Road Runner etc out as stand alone would create a huge list, when essentially they were all part of the same "variety" style show, that has had different names etc over the years on different networks etc. All being basically the same thing, with shorts of the various characters throughout the show. Not a stand alone show/series of a single character.
These have to be lumped together in a list like this, unless you want to break down specific characters alone.
Now there are many other series that I would not include as part of the original "Looney tunes/bugs bunny show" format, like Tiny Tunes, Baby Tunes, New Looney Tunes etc. These are not the same original cartoons as part of the variety show that has ran in some form for 90 plus years.
You make great points. Maybe Looney Tunes should be removed and later included in a cartoon characters bracket.
If we strive for a compromise, my vote is to include Looney Tunes as a whole for this one (with no specifics like Bugs). If we do want to explore characters for separate bracket, we can consider later.
I'd be cool with keeping Looney Tunes together as a collective but we can't lose it altogether. A best cartoon tourney without Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, Wiley and Roadrunner, would be incomplete and not legit IMO. They're classics.
Think anime should be it's own bracket. I be fine hosting it but would have no business being apart of putting it together.
I think Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies should be one thing but the classic Disney shorts like all those Donald/Daffy/Goofy shorts should be one too. I slightly prefer the Disney ones like Mickey in his camper and those sports goofie shorts.
The intro music to the Pac Man cartoon is basically burned into my skull from childhood. The music from the side scrolling mid 80s arcade game "Pac Land" came from the cartoon or vice versa.
Amazon Prime randomly suggested it to me last night after not seeing it since a kid in early 80s.
The Pole Position cartoon had an amazing opening song too.
