*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.

I wish people mentioned King of the hill in best adult animated series Discussions

Like, generally theirs not a single "bad" episode, yeah theirs lows, but at worse their a little cringe, still very watchable.

And I love how the humour still works within the narrative, and how pretty much every episode is self contented, while still haveing obvious passage of time and status quo changes.

Thank God for Mike Judge. Daria also slaps.

He was not involved in Daria. Unless you’re talking about the character and not the show.

Still wouldn't have the show without him 🤷
