What do you wish you could see more of in adult cartons, Cinemaphile? A lot of people complain about the current formula of "nuclear family in the suburbs where the dad is dumb and the mom is a nag"

I want adult cartoons to look like kid's cartoons
>*twitter comics
Seriously you would think "adult" in adult animation mean sex appeal but even the sexy characters are ugly
This is one for me too.
Kid shows look and feel so creative and energetic, even nowadays in the age of beanmouth, but shows for adults are just... flat, stiff, making bad and obvious commentary
Honestly, just take the filter off kids shows so that swearing, referencing real world things, and acknowledging death and sex (but not basing the entire "comedy" around the fact it exists in a cartoon), and you already have a formula to make them work.
That I think is the issue: adult shows are often based around having swearing and sex stuff, and yeah, that does make something more mature. The problem is cartoons run with that because "THIS IS A CARTOON!!! BUT THESE CARTOON CHARACTERS ARE SAYING.... FRICK!!!!! ISN'T THAT SOOOOO COOL?! CARTOON CHARACTERS SHOULDN'T DO THAT!!!"
If the average adult cartoon, especially something like Helluva Boss, were live action, we'd call it out as being the juvenile tryhard crap it really is.
make kids shows that just happen to have less limits? I can get behind that
ironically fionna and cake was that
Better art and animation, that's pretty much it. I noticed adult animation IS finally moving away from sitcoms lately and getting more experimental, the only issue is they all look so fricking bland or worse straight up ugly that even if the plot is actually good I just don't want to look at it.
what is this
Upcoming adult cartoon called Carole & The End of the World.
this looks kinda cool actually, whatchu mean?
gay
I thought that was a beard, Jesus Christ
>can't into stylization
Y'all are pitiable
So, Creepy Older Lady Fingerwags At Society? Or will it be interesting like Liquid TV's Winter Steele? Steele was a biker chick that went on biker chick worthy adventures and the show got away with a shocking amount of lewdness.

Good writing.
Still has shit writing.
More shows should exclude the father entirely. That would be more realistic.
horror comedy show.
less sitcom stuff, more long narratives
Hardcore nudity
>Sexy women
>Good character designs
>Less Writerspeak
>Better animation
>Cartoonists doing the showrunning and not comedians
>Actual offensive humor, not swearing every five seconds or “all sides suck lol”
>Less family centric plots and more random characters doing whatever
>Art styles that aren’t just faux-anime or Family Guy/Rick and Morty copycats

I threw away my dvds this shit was such garbage
Just the worst most uninteresting waste of time that I've ever seen. No amount of Spumco girl breasts could make me want to watch this utter trash
I had to use an example, plus even though APC cartoon is trash. At least I can admire it for being shit in it’s own unique way rather than riding off the coat-tails of Seth Macfarlane’s success
*APC is trash
This post sucks
>t. Butthurt Fox executive who just got back from seeing the viewership numbers for Krapopolis
Nah, anon is right this time.
It’s not perfect but it would definitely be a start.
cute feet
we should have known john was a pedo from this shit. We were all so busy looking at those bouncing breasts that we didnt notice how child like the skulls are
Anon, John K didn’t invent women with large heads and child-like faces. That’s always been a stylistic choice. There are literally tons of examples of it in the catalog alone.
Put some deepest lore for adults in them like Kevin Spencer or even Mr. Pickles did
Litterbox comics adapted into Bluey-esque format/length.
I wish there were more episodes of hot females bound and gagged. Lois and Meg alone are hot, but I'm lucky to see them tied up once every few years. Meanwhile, Bart keeps getting the good shit while the only hot woman in the Simpsons that's both reoccurring and still alive has already been straitjacketed so it's unlikely she will ever get a treatment again, full or otherwise.
These are the best american adult cartoons/ That's extremely grim and laughable compared to a similar anime grid.
Leela in a four-way with Homer, Horsewiener, and Bob Burgers. That's what I want to see.
I want more NORMAL WORDS
but a horse guy?
Really??

We hardly get those anymore. And when we do, people don't even complain about them; they just ignore them entirely. You're more likely to find workplace comedies than family sitcoms now.
that formula is the basic live action sitcom but in animated form.
I suppose there arent that many cartoons about single people. were is the cartoon Seinfeld, or friends.
also there should be more exploration of genre. what about mystery, horror, adventure, not everything has to be a comedy
anons here's my adult sitcom pitch
>Four friends/roommates
> They are terrible people and mean to everyone except the four of them
> They care deeply for each other in a platonic way
> Three guys and one girl
>no sex or dirty jokes in the first two episodes
>making fun of the internet things like fandoms and streamers and social media trends
> All of them are the worst kind of people(at least how most people label them): an Antinatalist, a proud gun owner(the girl), an alpha male, and a vegan but at the end of the show, you will root for them
> The jokes are mostly dark jokes and low-hanging fruits
> Basically "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" but worse
what do you think? ik it will never work kek
I dig it.
More thick milfs
A better balance of friendship and drama, scaled up for adults. Futurama is utter dreck. All cutesey, disgusting, sour and above all, lame. The rest of those, especially the good years of the Simpsons, did their jobs very well.
Futurama is fantastic, frick you
Adult adaptations of family friendly IPs that aren't just "What if x but with sex/drugs/swearing/cultural marxism?"
B-but… there's literally no other way to adapt those??
Shows are a lost cause. I want more adult animated movies with high-quality acting and writing. More than that, though, I just want them to actually represent adult situations and stakes. If the average sugar-addled child (or manchild) can watch this film and understand what's on-screen, then it's too juvenile. Gatekeep immature low-IQ audiences.
The problem has always been that when the word cartoon gets thrown in that it means the show and all it's characters need to be off the wall crazy and annoying. To me this is why King of the Hill is the best animated adult comedy of all time. It understands that just because it's a cartoon that it doesn't need to be some crazy cokey world and have all the characters act like annoying morons or have some over the too, ugly art style. It's a grounded show that understands that animation can connect to a deeper level by looking more realistic and appeling and that you can use visuals to empathize seep emotions and feelings better, and even comedy by being more subtle about it.
I think this is also why slice of life anime has become ao popular because most of the creators understand these concepts while America is still set in the 1940s.
Not comedy. Animation is great for anything not taking place in the real world and with a bit of action, yet nearly every goddamn adult cartoon is a comedy set in the modern world. And most aren't even that funny. I can get lukewarm humor literally everywhere. Just fricking do something with the medium for a change goddamnit.
Del Toro said it best
Moar shows where the parents are as based as the ones in "Easy A".
I have no problem with adult cartoons primarily being comedies, I just don't want any more family shitcoms. It's not the 2000s anymore. People want more out of television, including animation.
I'd also like for the successful ones to know when to bow out and remain beloved in our eyes. Bob's Burgers and Futurama do NOT need 20 seasons.
The Flintstones had a cat?
Realistic gay men
Anon what do you mean the thousands of pretty lesbians isn't enough for you? You're just a cis white male bigot exerting your male entitlement! Lesbians deserve more than gay men!
>What do you wish you could see more of in adult cartons,
attractive designs. Could just be something like the old Bruce Timm and Paul batman shit. Or Daria. Just simple pleasing designs.
Other than that, either some slice of life stuff or some scifi or fantasy stuff. And do it with some heart. I don't need anymore self ironic nihilistic shit.
W-WHAT?? You didn't like DISENCHANTMENT?
I watched the first two chapters and my biggest gripe is how they obviously wanted to write a "not like the other girls" character but they still wrote her with the confinements of a woman
Elfo HAS to have a crush on her, and she isn't allowed to actually get hurt in fights and somehow dodges every punch. written like a kid
>Elfo HAS to have a crush on her, and she isn't allowed to actually get hurt in fights and somehow dodges every punch. written like a kid
its weird to think that women were written better in 1980s action cartoons than in modern adult animation
I would like to see more families with multi generational homes living in midrises. That are suburbish with a little bit of urbanism.
>What do you wish you could see more of in adult cartons, Cinemaphile?
Characters I want to look at and a character driven story?
Honest to god, how difficult is that?
>Characters I want to look at and a character driven story?
sorry man, all I have is nihilism, random inconsistent crap, and really ugly art
I read a manga once about 2 newly divorced single parents tricked into buying the same house that move in together out of desperation.
It was a pure simple romantic dramedy about them learning to live together. It didn't focus on ugly unlikeable buttholes, hyper violence, or stoner humor. It was just normal people dealing with normal ass complications of life.
Why in the love of frick can we not get this sort of shit in cartoon form?
>Why in the love of frick can we not get this sort of shit in cartoon form?
american cartoonist are mostly buttholes, or raised by buttholes, or weridos that dont want a typical family nor want to promote it.
Divorced singles cohabitating isn't really a typical family.
because people being mean is funny!!! it's funny when the man is an idiot and the woman is a nag!!!
sounds like chick shit
better dialogue, no therapy long monoluge shit that's meta and not actually a joke
i wanna see fanservice of cute girls and lots of violence
>Frame-by-frame animation
>If you're going to employ character rigs don't arbitrarily cut the frame rate in half a la ShadowMachine
>Less meta humor/"Character breaking so the writer can deliver a long-winded monologue but it's okay because it's so clearly out of character that it loops back to being clever, wink wink" stream of conciousness moments
>Characters who are generally pleasant to each other a la Bob's Burgers or KOTH. You can still include butthole characters but write them in a charismatic way like It's Always Sunny
>Refrain from flavor of the month Twitter culture war commentary
>Refrain from American political commentary in general unless it's coming from a place of sincerity a la Boondocks instead of surface level "diversity good/Republicans crazy" bits
>Generally make them look more stylized and chibi like kids cartoons
>Eclectic soundtracks a la Boondocks and Samurai Champloo where the tracks aren't composed around scenes but the other way around
>Obviously stop being so derivative of the Family Guy and Rick and Morty art styles
