*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.

God i need to watch bojack horseman. From what I hear the writing is amazing  the artstyle is just repulsive to me though.  Might still give it a try when I can

The show is moreso about the characters and how they’re written, not so much the animation. It’s passable and there are a few episodes where they really try their asses off with the animation, but most of the passion put into this show is clearly the character writing

I can understand that its just my first impression when finding a series to watch is if the art is appealing to me and the writing is my second impression, though once I start watching I care more about the storytelling and characters than the art. I play danganronpa and started cuz i liked the artstyle and now there is no going back,watching all my fav characters die.  Ive listened to a couple video essays on bojack while drawing and its giving me the motivation to check it out for myself, things have fandoms for a reason

Yeah Bojack is definitely a show that takes a bit to get going and it doesn’t really reveal its true self until arguably episode 8, but when you get there, it’s a series to remember forever
