Batman TaS did a great job of every episode being enjoyable and compelling regardless of your familiarity with the character/series.

Wholeheartedly agree. TAS is okay, but if I wanted to experience those stories, I'd just read the comics again, since they're told far better in their original form. For many, though, it was TAS which introduced them to the X-Men universe, so I understand the nostalgia and warmth towards it.

X-Men: Evolution, on the other hand, was a perfect blend of "movie adaptation" and courtesy to the source material. The faithfulness to the characters was astounding, especially as the series progressed. That show will always be my defacto "you want to make an X-Men movie? Follow this formula" scenario.

In related news, Tina Minoru has made an appearance in the Doctor Strange prequel comic. It's too early to tell, but they may be sowing the seeds for Nico's introduction into the MCU, and with this direct tie to Strange, it's no surprise that she's included in his wave of MLs. Very exciting stuff!
