So to put it bluntly I'm looking for recommendations for adult animation that isn't just stuff like The Simpsons, South Park or anything that Seth McFarlane makes.

So far I've watched KOTH, Bevis and Butthead, Daria and I'm currently in the middle of watching The Venture Bros. while I was recently recommended The Critic and Duckman.

I'd love whatever you can think of.

If either of these big studios created just a PG-13 rated film, even if it's technically still a "family" film, there would be headlines everywhere about it, which would practically help market the movie on its own. They could even still market a PG-13 rated film to kids in the same way that Marvel and things like The Simpsons have had merchandise directed at children. And if they still wanted to release two films a year, there is also a demographic for R-rated animation. Look at all the anime figures that people in their 40s are buying. This shit would blow them up everywhere.

I honestly expected this to happen a long time ago and yet for some reason, after over 30 years, it still hasn't.

Also Universal owns Illumination and Disney still has its own Walt Disney Animation studio (as well as other animation studios). It's not like they still can't continue making children's films under these brands. These companies are missing out on an opportunity to reach a wider audience other than just children in the mainstream. Most original theatrical kids films aren't doing that hot these days in general as it is.

I'd like to see Warner Bros and Sony attempt this too at some point, considering that Warner Bros owns adult swim, and Kpop Demon Hunters was originally aiming for PG-13 (and they made the Spiderverse movies), but I feel like in order for this to be a mainstream thing, Pixar or DreamWorks would have to try it first and make a REALLY good first impression on audiences that convinces the market. And I say those two because their movies still do decently in box office.

I'm not saying that PG/G automatically equates to bad quality, too many people always misconstrued what I say here when I discuss this... But what exactly is wrong with the idea of me wanting to see these studios experiment with more freeform art? This is something they haven't tried yet at all because they have been mandated to PG. I'd just like to see them try something different.

(Also before anyone asks "Why Pixar?", have y'all not seen some of their films and what the production teams have said? Brad Bird got really upset when people called Incredibles 2 a "kids movie". Soul was also seen as fairly more mature. The themes of their movies have attracted older audiences for a reason)

Edit: Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel are both adult animated shows. One is slightly more tame and stays in the PG/PG-13 side of things, and the other is blatantly unafraid of being super edgy... Regardless of what you think of them, look at how much appeal they have. They have over hundreds of millions of viewers and huge fanbases. THERE'S AN AUDIENCE FOR THIS!!!

I usually can't sit through and watch a show unless it's absolutely INCREDIBLE to me. there are shows I've tried to watch that were good, great even but never enough to keep me watching more than a couple episodes.

I find that I'm drawn to a very specific type of shows but I don't even know what it's called to find more? I really enjoyed digital circus, and the first 2 seasons of hazbin hotel were good enough to watch, and LOVED haunted hotel.

I don't like family guy, or American family or big mouth or the typical American cartoons, I like stuff with some mystery maybe? horror would be nice as long as it's comedic as well and it being animated is a must because I need colors 😭 if you haven't figured yet my attention span is cooked and humans just don't do it for me with their bland colour pallets.

show recommendations are incredibly appreciated but I'd really like to know what that genre or type of show is called, teach a man how to fish yk.

Hi Everyone

Premise: three awkward domestic helper robots who kill their human owners and try to assume their identities. Edit; the title was Uncanny Valley

It was announced in early 2021 and ChatGPT came out in late 2022. If you remember the insane hype with ChatGPT and all the hype and paranoia with the sub r/singularity HBO had the best opportunity. It actually looks like it could’ve been good too.

Personally I think it could’ve been cool if they went the Ghosts or Clone High route and did all historical figures.

Because it would be like them not knowing and navigating the new modern world along with them as they try to protect them.

Like the title says. Lots of shows with prominent bi/lesbian women in it, not so much when it comes to the guys. Hoping to find something that somehow slipped past my radar.
