boy howdy i was INTO this show back in high school. great formula of Goofy Fun Little Fantasy
Adventures with tons of Goofy Little Weirdo Characters that was always a treat to sit down and
enjoy. it has a great balance between lots of stupid adventures and some genuinely touching
character development (Marceline and Ice King still make me SAD). it's also really fun to see
the writers/storyboarders come up with this random fantasy world and slowly flesh it out (make
it up) as they go along, like they were perpetually stumbling into fascinating world
building
this show also Appeals to me bc as it went on, the seasons got progressively More
Surreal and that's the kind of shit i eat up
what can i even say about Avatar that hasn't already been said a hundred times???
Very Good Show, great characters, nuanced and intriguing world, cool magic system, It's
Got It All!!
the first season does start off a bit Goofy Kids' Show which, fair, it is in fact a kids'
show, but as the story goes on it develops into such a compassionate and nuanced exploration of
the horrors of war, with a large focus on how common people suffer under it
idk if you haven't watched it at this point you should like, fix that
i like, Vaguely kept up with this show when it was first coming out on Youtube, but i only
watched a few episodes and promptly forgot about it. then the Netflix release jumped me out of
nowhere and i was like OKAY OKAY OKAY i should probably actually sit down and watch this thing
and i really liked it! being a like, pretty chill slice of life magical girl
thing, it was the perfect show to watch when i wanted to sit back and relax. all the
characters are charming and the dialogue has this like, casual vibe to it that made it
feel like (relatively) normal people conversing in a kinda not normal world
Worthikids is such a huge inspiration for me bc like, this guy is out here making whatever silly
little animations tickle his fancy and he OWNS at it. he can go out there and make a little
series about employees of a clown-themed food truck and their food-themed adventures and im
sitting there watching it like dang..... if he can follow his passion So Can I.......
watch it
here!
Regular Show for 30-something millennial parents
like straight up, watching this show teleported me back to high school
watching Regular Show except im an adult now. the hijinks are slightly more grounded than
Regular Show?? but it's the same flavor of humor, just now the whole cast is a bunch of
struggling millennials
also appreciate that the main married couple feels like a couple, they
are Two Adults Who Actually Genuinely Like Each Other and are comfortable being goofy together
and with their kid
i'll admit, i avoided checking out this show for a while bc it seemed very Children's
Show™
which like, it for sure is, but im very pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoy it as an
Adult Viewer!
all the characters feel like goofy children in a way that's endearing instead of
annoying, and it's very fun to witness all their silly antics in their Children Creek
Society that they've built. like the creek looks so cool and fun?? they got their own Candy
Trading Economy, they got Horse Girl Meadows and Ninja Kids Waterfall and all these other
territories that all the different friend groups hang out in. somehow makes growing up in the suburbs
look fun
it was hard thinking of shows to add to this list bc like, a lot of cartoons i've watched were
back when i was a kid and bro I Don't Remember Shit About Fuck. like did any of those age well?
would i still enjoy them as an adult? Who Knows!!
but Dexter's Lab was a show that popped in my mind where i was like "yeah, y'know what,
i remember that one being good! i think i'd still like it!" and i rewatched a little bit of it
and like, Yeah It's Still Pretty Good Comedy! every once in a while it'll show its age, but
overall i love watching this bully-able nerd child bicker with his ballerina jock sister. also
COMPLETELY forgot that The Justice Friends were a part of this show and not like, their own
completely separate thing lmao
ENA captures the exact feeling of having a weird surreal dream based off of a video game
where every single location and interaction is obviously wonky.
i love the vibes! also Ena has a
really cool design can we give it up for her
watch it here!
now here's a show that's held up preddy well. it's like!! still a super hilarious show!!
the characters got that Lovable Charm that makes all their wacky antics incredibly fun to
witness, with Mabel and Dipper being really endearing siblings. altho Dipper i need you to stop
being a cringefail boy child smh 😔
the overall plot is Intriguing, building up this
Enticing Mystery over the course of the show
idk what else to say bc at this point i feel like i'll just be repeating myself, show's
fun and the writing's good! i love the characters!!
you also KNOW this show is powerful if it birthed one of the most baffling Tumblr
Sexymen invented
GOD i love this animated music video so much, it caters to MY aesthetic sensibilities 😩
an absolutely powerful collaboration between Toby Fox and Itoki Hana on music, and Bani-chan
on Literally Every Single Aspect Of The Animation. it took her two years to animate all this!!
a hauntingly beautiful experience with a delicious dash of body horror
watch it
here!
i diagnose you with Watch Infinity Train
i really! really! like this show!! it's basically an anthology series where each season is
its own contained story that takes place upon the titular Train That Is Infinite. Book 1 has a
good mystery, Book 2 has MT, Book 3 has some REAL stinky characters (compliment), and Book 4 exists. the
writing isn't flawless, but it's tight and compelling with nuanced characters, and
there were some scenes where i was like "holy fuck they allowed this in a kids' show???"
Personal Opinion Corner: i didn't enjoy Book 4 😔
i could see what they were trying to do with the story but i ultimately found the execution boring.
sowwy to any Book 4 Enjoyers!!
pipi is simply Just A Little Guy but oh so valiantly embarks on a quest to save a princess!!
very silly short film that parodies the whole Your Princess Is In Another Castle trope
to like, a really goofy extent
watch it
here!
there is no crueler injustice in the world than Motorcity being cancelled after its first season
😔
this show RIPS!!! if you want some Extremely stylish car driving action, this show's got
you covered.
it takes places in a future Detroit where a Rich People Metropolis is built on
top of old Detroit.
citizens are banned from owning automobiles, but that's not gonna stop The
Burners from hopping into their sick whips and fighting for everyone's freedom!! the show's got
SUCH a good style, i love to look at it with my eyes. really wish we could've seen what they had
planned for the rest of the story :'^)
also to the surprise of literally no one who knows me, The Duke is my favorite character
im so glad that it's a yearly tradition for so many people to sit down comfy cozy when the
autumn colors return to us and rewatch
this show
just.... what a wonderfully atmospheric story.
two brothers lost in the woods of a
distinctly rustic americana Unknown, a children's show but genuinely chilling and unsettling
between its many moments of goofy humor. a gorgeous soundtrack that evokes a nostalgia for an
era long before i was born. and the background art?? good god is it gorgeous, i want that amount
of artistic power someday
i just!! really love this show!! everyone should watch it!!!
SHAKES EVERYONE BY THEIR SHOULDERS why does nobody listen to me!! watch this show!!!
if you like stylish brutal action then This Is The Perfect Show For You!
intoxicating primal violence sprinkled with moments of touching compassion and sorrow...
caring for one another within the brutality of a vicious world....
Good Fucken Action Babey!!!
the last episode of season 2 is a classic Genndy Fumble but overall the show's great
another show i loved back in high school babey!!
this is perhaps the ultimate Dudes Being Bros show out there. love watching a couple
slacker dudes accidentally set off a domino effect exploding into the most bonkers Situations the
world has ever seen every single episode
Mordecai needs to be bullied even more tho bc the
people aren't lying, he's one of the biggest simps ever invented (perhaps the
only cartoon simp that surpasses his down bad energies is Boss from Hamtaro). thankfully that
doesn't stop this show from (mostly) being a goofy little respite to sit back and relax to after
a long day
this one actually Isn't a nostalgia pick! i watched this show for the first time as an adult!
im genuinely surprised that the show was allowed to exist in its form--it's a kids' show
with lots of Fun Action but also with a lot of slow, silent scenes.
i also LOVE the art direction, i kept staring at the (im guessing gouache??) background
art like "wow look at those pretty shapes"
unfortunately the final season Sucks Major Ass, the first half is fine but the second
half was a painful slog 😔 biggest fumble i've seen in a while, Genndy shoulda just
left the show alone
the crew of interstellar cargo ship Demeter 227
end up stranded across an alien planet,
fighting for survival as their small, separated groups plan how to escape back home
i love that we're dunked straight into the weird flora and fauna of this hostile planet,
discovering
fascinating and terrifying wildlife alongside the characters. and survival isn't based on subjucating
these lifeforms--these lost humans find the most (sometimes questionable) success when they insert
themselves into the flow of nature
average humans contrast a stunning ecosystem
the Scooby-Doo cartoon where they actually made the show Scooby-Doo interesting. and im ALLOWED
to have this opinion bc i grew up watching the crusty OG Scooby-Doo. this show is actually
funny!! and it has an actual story!! they made Freddie into maybe the funniest character in any
show ever, the poor guy just really loves building traps :(
i will say, i did try rewatching this show a bit ago and i forgot how like literally
Every Single Non-White Character is a racial stereotype. like EVERY single one. it's so bad that
this show even manages the impossible feat of being racist towards a white man
purely a nostalgia pick here babey!!
a show chemically engineered for Girl Children™ bc as a kid i wanted to BE
these cool spy girls so bad. they had such cool gadgets!! i remember pretending that my Everyday
Objects were actual secret spy tools and feeling soooo cool
unfortunately the first thing that pops into my head when i think of Totally Spies now
is,,,,, that list of the fifty billion fetishes that were stuffed into the show,,,,,, (altho
it is funny that like, half of that list is just The Girls In Different Outfits)
this movie came out on my birthday so it might've been fate
CONFESSION: im not into Spiderman
at all. idk shit about his lore beyond the obvious Cultural Osmosis knowledge (and whatever
fragments of knowledge i've retained from watching the Tobey Maguire movies as a kid). im here
PURELY for the aesthetics!!!
this movie looks SO good, the mix of 2D and 3D animation is super stylish!! gun to my
head i couldn't recount what most of the plot was but leave me alone this shit's eye candy
you probably haven't heard of it, but there's this little indie darling called Spongebob
Squarepants??
look, i legitimately have no clue what the spongeboy is up to these days, but the first
three seasons of this show are still some of the best goofy comedy out there. every once in a
while i'll boot up my dvd of season 3 and it'll blow my socks off how consistently charming
and funny each episode is. and the cartooning is so expressive! like they love to go ham with the
facial expressions! and all the characters got such exploitable dynamics, like they put any two
characters together in a room and they're immediately mining comedy gold. this show got big for
a reason!!
i really like Steven Universe!! the show's obviously not perfect, but i really appreciate how the
creators strived to craft the kind of show that they wished they had as kids. it's a heartfelt,
empathetic, optimistic story with characters who reflect the identities and experiences of the people
putting it all together
and it's got a lot of really interesting characters and worldbuilding! it takes the story a Hot
Second to find its footing, but once it gets going everything new you gradually learn about gem
society is enthralling and gets your brain revving up like "Wait I Need To Tell Someone My
Theories"
it's a good mix of Haha Goofy Kid Show with the occasional Wait Isn't That Kinda Fucked Up
