Unironically though, is there anything like that? Is it even possible?
People just don't respect animation much of the time, including creators. Do you think Breaking Bad would have been the mega hit it was if it were animated? Even with the same great plot and if it had gorgeous animation. It might have been a cult classic but not the crazy success it was.
Breaking Bad animated would be kino
>AIslop
Normal Words but a horse guy is the best you're gonna get
There's one. Moral Orel is unfinished but with what little time it had, this show managed to scrape the surface of genuine greatness
No.
Just Rick and Morty, but you have to have a pretty high IQ and, ideally, a PhD to really understand it.
Primal
>The Sopranos or Better Call Saul
I think mexican soap operas are more up your speed
A little late but there's some options in Adult Swim stuff. Home Movies, Metalocalypse and especially Moral Orel are all pretty brilliant when you scratch a little below the surface. I'd be curious to see any other recommendations anons have
arcane is objectively better than those redditors show
No.
better call saul was stupid as shit at the end, 5/10
Did you miss Nacho?
He means the finale, it's like Vince took every critique everyone had about Breaking Bad ending with too much of a power fantasy with no consequences, and said "Oh you want consequences buttholes?" then slammed straight into the fricking wall at the opposite direction because of sheer seethe at the internet, making Jimbo go to prison and lose Kim as all but a friend.
Yes
>Yes and?
I'm not going to spoon feed you.
Kim deserved so much worse. Everything from how she was treated as the greater evil for her sadism in fricking over Howard that even unnerved Jimmy, to the constant warnings from Howard and Chuck that Jimmy would ruin her life, and the reoccurring theme of her not wanting to be seen as some stupid, gullible woman who's being manipulated by the toxic men in her life but as someone who's doing things of her own volition all pointed to her dying by the sword that she lived by and no, feeling racked with guilt and retiring to a peaceful life isn't a punishment compared to being given a life sentence in Jimmy's case or dying like every other male character. I feel like the only reason why they had her survive was to make the ending feel not as bleak, giving Jimmy at least some kind of closure with her even though he didn't really deserve it. It also would have made sense to kill her so that he would have been truly cut off from everyone in his old life, making the scene of him being popular in prison all the more bittersweet as he embraces his famous Saul Goodman persona at the cost of never forming any actual deep relationships. Jimmy was already comfortable in the big house and is so dead inside that he doesn't show any remorse for his crimes, he didn't need additional sappy personal closure from Kim.
Arcane
No one wants to animated something that takes place in mundane reality.
Huh?
People do that all the time outside of America.
Yeah, only because they don’t have the option to compete with Hollywood’s live-action budget so they go to a secondary market like animation. You bet your ass if some Spanish program wanted to make a soap opera they would do it in live-action 10-1 then even considering it in animation.
Arcane.
Aeon Flux.
See, she drives her car up through the road, through a zipper, in "C Section"!
It's like a whole civilisation run by doctors... everybody seems to be wearing fetishised medical braces...
Maybe Batman: The Animated Series or Avatar: The Last Airbender. There's honestly not a whole lot of good dramatic Cinemaphile series, especially not a lot on the level of something like Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc. Hell, there's not even that many Cinemaphile series I would put on that level of dramatic storytelling - maybe Cowboy Bebop, Made in Abyss, Now and Then Here and There.
