#on animation
Like don’t get me wrong there’s lots of great kids cartoons right now and recently, but Like genuinely what I need is just more cartoons aimed at adults that fit my vibes.
Like I’m not saying there are no cartoons for adults or even that they’re all bad, it’s just… How do I put this into words?
I want more adult cartoons that follow a journey and to be soft or beautiful or something like that. To be taken seriously, but mostly to be emotionally and mentally fulfilling.
And to be clear, I’m not saying there are none and I know that there are anime and such that scratch the itch.
It’s more that I feel like there’s room for so much more animation and I think we’re on the path for so many great experiences. Like I know the path is being laid, but at the same time I wish we were already there.
Right now I guess I fill that need mostly with web comics, but like without fail if a brilliant webtoon gets adapted into a show, it’s live action. And I guess it’s fine sometimes, but it’s so disappointing. Like some comics are so beautifully styled and I want to see it translated that way.
And I don’t know. I love cartoons. I just want to see them flourish, I guess.

So I did a little research into adult animation yesterday and apparently we’re in a golden age or something. So I’m going to try and see what that’s all about.
Like I don’t want to not give it a fair shake and all, so like I’m going to do some digging and see what I can find.
