It was never alive if you don’t like family sitcoms. There’s very few adult animations that aren’t that. Even something like Bojack and Inside Job focus heavily on family issues.
No
There's just a lot of bad animation be made by networks that want the next family guy or rick and morty
If you want to be pretentious you could call the good adult animation Mature animation
Name a good adult animated series that came out within the past 2 years.
LDR is basically just one big artist/studio showcase/anthology. So there's good stuff meh stuff and bad stuff all right next to eachother. It gave us an alien spider waifu at the very least.

This. The cartoons for kids stigma is still here to the point where Netflix is(were?) advertising American made series that were trying to break free as """anime""".

Primal came out nearly 3 years ago, not 2, and was completely boring.

Solar Opposites was unfunny twitter pandering like Inside Job. Any shows that are trying to be Rick and Morty are automatically shit.

This has piqued my interest. What about LDR was good though?
LDR is basically one massive portfollio for the studios involved, I disagree that it would do any favours to adult animation when most of the shorts are animated in the "wow very realistic" style and use rough adaptation of short stories most of the time, you can get some good stuff like the famous Zima Blue, or the first episode of season 3 which is a pretty solid thriller on it's own with good writing and, an art style that is stylistic and serves greatly the story, then that's followed by a short about robots going over how dumb humans were in face of an apocalypse caused by [something] that feels like it was written by the first gen X writer they saw at Netflix's inhouse; LDR has this issue where some of it just fricking sucks really hard while some of it is solid and a few of them are kino.
>use rough adaptation of short stories most of the time
What's wrong with that? I think it should be done more often. You have a time-efficient story already written and audience tested so the animators can focus on bringing it to life.
As much as I agree with you on the stupid realism thing, I think the short story thing is a pretty good way to write a show like that. Might give it a try regardless.
If you can watch it and it's got a cohesive episodic structure it's a show. Don't care if it's the most abstract shit ever, if it's good it's good but this thread hasn't proven to me so far that the answer to my question in the OP was definitively "no".

The Legend of Vox Machina
Arcane
Invincible
Tear Along the Dotted Line
Helluva Boss
I eagerly anticipate your response saying "but those are all shit" without elaborating.
> Vox Machina
Decent but juvenile. First 3 episodes are so trash I barely survived them to not just drop the show. Pink lgbt bearded lady was almost enough. >Arcane
Almost flawless. Legit masterpiece. Hate Jinx tho. >Invincible
Good, even gorier than comic. Actually improves on it with exception of Amber. It honestly would be better off with no s2 considering how incredibly awful it gets. >tear whatever
Haven't seen >Helluva boss.
Ok. Just ok. It's nice to see Richard Horvitz again. Tv show is mainly aimed for edgy teens tho.
Vox Machina just looks like another fricking tumblr humor show that I will never watch. Arcane is about the worst game ever made and produced by the people who made it so it fails by default. Invincible is acceptable, albeit not as good as the comic. Tear along the dotted line has one of the most boring artstyles I've ever seen and the trailer looks horrifically boring. Helluva Boss is shit, and so is Hazbin Hotel.
The writing is so un-anime-like that you might as well not consider it anime. The dialogue is aping Tarantino.
It's still anime. Go back, I have pocky as a bribe. Will you take it?
>Arcane is about the worst game ever made and produced by the people who made it so it fails by default.
There are no words to describe how much you fail at life if you given the slightest frick about animation and refuse to watch Arcane for whatever dumbass reason. It is objectively the best looking piece of animation ever made, period.
You keep running your mouth about soul yet refuse to watch Arcane which is the most soulful thing made in years.
>It is objectively the best looking piece of animation ever made, period. >the most soulful thing made in years.
You have to be 18 to post on this website. I'm sorry you're too young to understand that animation is more than digital FX, and that there are words beyond "soul".
I'd argue most children's shows are headed in the same direction. Have you seen Disney's lineup lately? It's all Gravity Falls style shit with no soul. The few decent shows I've seen were ran into the dirt. To answer your question though, kids shows tend to do a lot more with a lot less than "adult" ones do. If you give a show the ability to use expletives, chances are it will be abused for the sake of comedy to the point where it gets stale and obnoxious. In a children's show, the humour has to come from elsewhere or it won't be picked up as a pitch.

What year is it? 2000? 2010?
Children's shows feel like they're always on sitcom "Normal kids but wacky things happen... if we feel like animating it" life support when they're not toy commercials.
>adult animated series >lists teenager series
No matter how much you want Arcane to be serious and good, it won't ever be. It's just a video game show where a girl cries as she fires a shark cannon and people online make porn of her taking it up the arse from her daddy.
>The Legend of Vox Machina
Shitty D&D jokes that only exist because there is a niche market for shy people to fantasize about having friends to play TRPG with. >Arcane
Pretty good actually, suprisingly great considering it's a Netflix exclusive and Riot's track record, though I disagree with the morons saying that's a baseline, Arcane is the exception and if every show would try to replicate it they would just do it cheaply. >Invincible
Truth be told I haven't watched it, seems pretty bad at least in comparison to the comic. >Tear Along the Dotted Line
French BoJack Horseman. >Helluva Boss
Pretty good given it's an indie production, writing leaves a lot to be wished and animation can be visibly bad at times with the sheer amount of corners being cut I presume.
Primal
>Primal
Genndygays won't accept that looking good only makes a show so good, it's almost ironic that the guy who's famous for mediocre writing and doing 60fps action scenes made a show where no one can talk.
Solar opposites.
>Solar opposites.
Unfunny bait, Solar Opposites is literally everything bad about Rick and Morty made even worse, it's akin to wanting to gouge my eyes out but I'm armless.
I thought Close Enough was pretty good
>I thought Close Enough was pretty good
Quintel is a really solid showrunner in the sense that both Regular Show and Close Enough never try to be something they're not (the worst bits of RS were they ones where the show did try to be more), Close Enough is simply Family Guy but in Los Angeles and honestly I don't see anything wrong about it, there are weak episodes but nothing is particularly bad, you don't even see people b***hing about that one gay romance episode because it was taken as a joke from start to end.
So far there's only 2 shows that came out in the past 2 years that even look semi decent that have been given. Looks like it truly is dead, kek, how sad.
It is creatively bankrupt.
Every adult animation is either sitcom or comedy or both.
The only adult animation that don't fulfil this criteria are Major Lazer and Samurai Jack Season 5.
Now why the frick is this? Why are child cartoons more daring in that regard?

Love, Death, & Robots was pretty good but most of the "adult" parts were over the top gore and some dude's flaccid dick waving around on screen.

That's sort of the issue, is it really supposed to be called a "show"? Was Twilight Zone a show?

This could've been great, but it had to do the "Genius paired up with a fricking moron" dynamic for some reason. I fricking despise that cliche.
Brett got out of Fricking moronic level pretty quickly, they didn't really do "Frick everything up for the sake of the plot" after the first episode.
Frick it, I liked that show. Every single episode.
