Anime and Cartoons are all the same to me, each of them has inspired one another plus there is no difference between them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I hope to see some acknowledgement of 90s cartoons, bc even though some were technically for kids, were so viscerally upsetting or raunchy that they definitely shaped adult cartoons today: Beavis and Butthead, Daria, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, SpongeBob, Celebrity Deathmatch, etc etc

I would like to see how an animation style from individuals like Hazbin Hotel compared to netflix level animations. I feel like indie animators explore more with their styles, themes and storylines because they dont have to hit the mass market. Arcane is also a good one to mention when looking at art styles

I know it’s technically “all ages” not “adult”, and probably obvious, but I feel like Avatar: The Last Airbender has to be mentioned for opening the eyes of many animators and consumers alike in the ability of western animation as a medium to tell long, complex, and compelling stories. And that there is a large market of people who desire that kind of content. Looking forward to the video!

I think you'll likely hit on this in your research at some point, but the transition from theatrical shorts (Looney Tunes, Fleischer, Disney, etc.) being intended for general audiences and the subsequent evolution of animation into a commercialized merchandise driven vehicle is an important contextual note for why animation devolved into "just for kids " and why "adult animation" felt the need to so strenuously differ itself from it.

I feel like a major difference between western television and "anime" is that most western episodic shows are... Well episodic. They're usually 20 minutes of one main idea that's only loosely connected to the wider story if at all. While in most anime there are definite plot lines that surpass the 24 minutes of runtime

There are adult cartoons that have a cool visual identity and are great like Metalocalypse and Archer. Then there are others that have a more flat look but are still great like Gary and His Demons and King of the Hill. And then there're shows that look terrible and are terrible like Big Mouth and Beavis and Butthead. We even have the legitimately bizarre Aeon Flux. We got the full spectrum! South Park, Central Park, Inside Job, Futurama, Disenchantment, Bob's Burgers, The Boys: Diabolical, Invincible, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Regular Show, Close Enough, Superjail, China Illinois, Drawn Together.... so many more to talk about, not enough time.

I am interested in the online/indie animation side of things, with how internet allowed people to make their own animation/shows.

I don't necessarily know how "important" to adult cartoon history it is, but I would love to see Futurama. Just a personal favorite of mine. Also, curious if there's more history to Simpsons and Family Guy clones than just "those shows were massively successful so we're gonna do that too"
