My best guess is that the anime aired on Cartoon Network sometime between 2004
and 2008, for at least one and probably no more than two seasons. I don't
remember many details other than that it was a kind of action-adventure anime
with several warrior characters trying to save the world from some evil. What
was memorable about it was that they failed at the end of the first season and
the world was destroyed. But the second season made clear the heroes through
some magic had escaped into a parallel universe at an earlier point in the
timeline, wherein they succeeded. It was unusual because most shows don't go
into such depth about how time travel would probably work by sending you to a
parallel world instead of your own timeline.

What is the name of a Cartoon Network anime whose second season plot was based on time travel?


It seems this <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolin_Showdown>. Although it's 3
seasons long.

It is indeed Xiaolin Showdown.

It was broadcast between 2003 and 2006 consisting of 3 season. Each character
was master of an element:

  * Big dude (Clay) - Earth
  * Girl (Kimiko) - Fire
  * Dot-Head (Omi) - Water
  * Remaining Boy (Raimundo) - Wind

It's actually an American production, but set in Asia. They protect the _Shen
Gong Wu_ from the evils that desire the treasure.

The first season ends with their failure and they need to travel back in time
and create an alternate future resulting in their success. This is what the
second season mostly deals with. In the third and final season the warriors
travel to the Ying-Yang world to retrieve Omi's good chi.
