i saw your cartoon recs post while looking for stuff to watch! i noticed it's a couple years old so i was wondering if there were more shows you'd wanna add that i might like? i watched everything on your old list but to give you an idea of what i mainly look for, my favs from your list are SP (mostly the eps w Butters though!) and GF! lately i've been in the mood for humorous stuff but nothing overly pessimistic/gloomy. generally i dislike M-rated cartoons, except SP bc it's nostalgic for me.
It's been a hot second since I've actually watched cartoons. My job has been keeping me very busy, and I've mostly been playing video games. So I won't have as many as last time, but I will do my best to give some new cartoon recommendations.
The Owl House and Amphibia are two new popular kids on the block, but I actually have not had the time to watch them. However I've heard countless good things about them and they are on my list of "shit i want to do later." So hit those shows up for a good time.
Infinity Train. Holy shit this show. Words cannot express how interesting this series is. It's deep, funny, tense, and full of that spicy emotion. At least watch Book 1/Season 1 to figure out if you like it or not. The next books/seasons do get progressively darker (book 3), but the show does make an effort not to end on a sour note. It's a wonderful balance of children's cartoon with topics for adults. It's not an "adult cartoon" but a "cartoon that adults can enjoy." It also has a cute as hell robot so what's not to love?
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Somewhat old, but still super good. It's like infinity train in that it can get very heavy while remaining family friendly. Probably one of the best/better takes on that series. It's got an over arching plotline that's actually finished, character development, sassy Velma, and a lot of story beats that will surprise you. I will say that there are elements that can get very annoying such as Fred being a MASSIVE idiot, several repetitive story bits, and some details of the monster of the day going unexplained. Other than that, still worth the watch for the deeper story and twists of season 2.
Beastars. This one isn't exactly a cartoon, but I'm throwing it in here anyway. Yes there's the memes about it and blah blah blah. I still enjoyed it quite a bit and the graphics are pretty sweet. Beastars is a very dark story and does NOT make a point to hide it. It's one of the more dreary series on this list but it still has moments of humor and the world is interesting. One note tho, if you're under the age of 16 you should probably skip this one. It's rated M for a good reason.
That's all the shows I've got this time, but I hope this gives you something to sink your teeth into. I'm glad you liked my previous list.
