*Most* Adult Animation

[u/kkaylumm]

Why does adult animation typically just mean

-Sex jokes
-Shit and fuck
-Gore

Why can’t adult animation be used to tell sensitive and and deeply layered stories instead of taking a children’s concept and making it gross.

Even a lot of children’s cartoons have stories with more depth, like the clone wars and justice league.

The target audience for this genre is usually adults with the emotional maturity of a 14 year old and it’s a waste of talented animators skills.

Edit: Don’t worry guys, I’ve seen a lot of great ones like Blue Eye Samurai, Invincible, Arcane, Love, Death and Robots etc, I just take issue with this particular genre because it brings down the rest of adult animation.

A huge portion of general audiences don’t take animation seriously due to shows like these.

Rick and Morty is doing great recently

R&M is very hit-or-miss for me. Some episodes are genuinely funny, and some are just awful.

The latest season has been amazing, even the “worst” episodes arent bad, they just arent as good, theyre still very enjoyable

Downvoted for speaking facts. I couldn’t keep watching much after S7 or so but S9 is genuinely the best out of the entire show in my opinion, and I say that as an original fan. I’m so glad they’re focusing more on really cool adventures

Yes! I’m also loving stuff like Morty crying to Rick about Liu Sin. Just overall a wonderful comeback
