sometimes I have a part of me wanting to give up on animation becuase I hate that whenever I give an critical comment of anything animated, they always reply with “is a kid’s cartoon, is not aimed at you” and I feel awful becuase, then what can I get that’s aimed at me that is animated??? there is like 1% of adult oriented animation and most of it is VERY BAD either visually or thematically (and don’t even bring anime in the mix, thats a whole different fruit bowl all together) and people around acting like if animation has always been a kiddie kid stuff that you outgrow and thats why I no longer like it as before?? new flash man! there is lots of animated media I didn’t saw when I was small and I love it now taht I saw and there has been stuff I have revisited because I remember loving and I noticed was VERY BADLY DONE! is not even if the plot has a dark story or not, is the fact they don’t compromise to the story values and later act as if it wasn’t their fault chosing a hard theme they weren’t gonna follow through midway on and that the real value was ANOTHER THING just to cover tail!!!
I did not out grow the thing! the thing has been getting way too generalized to not scared anybody for more than 1 or 2 seconds, jingle keys for the smallest kids or not annoy fragile mind parents just becuase someone kicked too hard another person or the dirty joke wasnt very subtle!! don’t come here telling me as if before animation wasn’t aimed at the WHOLE family so even if the parent wasn’t fully on it, still could enjoy it if actually watched it rather than nowdays being seen as just “kids stuff” to sit your kid for 2 hours and vaguely smirks at 1 or 2 jokes at best and pretending “yeah I enjoyed those”, everybody knows is true!
