These six are the wackiest shit to come out of this decade I can think of off the top of my head. It seems like action cartoons and fakime are more common now, it this an economic studio issue? Cause if so it still seems odd, a cartoony character seems a lot easier to draw than a realistically-proportioned human.

Like c’mon we need more western cartoons that actually want to be cartoons, feel free to suggest more modern shows like this, gimmie the good stuff.

the history of animation is a cycle of decades of high quality and then of low quality

I feel like art/animation-wise, the best show in the image is The Patrick Star Show, as it actually pulls off the expressive look traditionally rather than using rigs.

Though I will admit that as much I love post-sequel SB and how fun it looks to work on that show it does feel pretty style over substance at times.

You're not gonna find anyone in LA right now who can storyboard proper action set pieces, at absolute best you'll get retards who make spastic action shots by badly copying sakuga WEBMs they saw on Twitter.

Evil people run the industry now of days, the people who are still in the industry who haven't retired yet are getting shafted left and right.

But there are 2 exceptions that need to be looked at.

The beanmouth slop is basically our current dark age's equivalent to the glorified toy commercials of the 80’s, but the difference here is that the 80’s toy-based cartoons were hated by animators cause they wanted something new and better animated in the industry, meanwhile beanmouth shows are loved and defended nonstop cause the animation industry is full of people who are mentally children who care more about watching slop then the current state of the industry.

On one hand I’m glad that Elio has caused many people online to wake up to the fact that all modern cartoons are being forced to look the same via executive meddling, but again beanmouth still has defenders who consume this garbage cause they like their oversanitized writing not realizing how bad things really are.

Fuck off Famicom, stop worshipping Tiny Toons and acting like Laura Haruna would’ve saved the animation industry, getting more anime-based shows that are "wacky comedies" is how we get garbage like Chibiverse and K-Pop Demon Hunters.

How about retard, instead we just take influence from classic western cartoons rather than the little anime girls you fap to.

Everyone hated the 80’s toy-based cartoons, and TMS' Gummi Bears by Toshihiko Masuda, Kenji Hachizaki and Takashi Kawaguchi did bring in the something new and better animation everyone wanted.

lack of funding. it doesnt help that companies aren't trying any more. I went down the toy aisle recently and found just utter shit. Like action figures that you could easily find at flea markets levels of quality garbage.

maybe if execs actually gave a shit about building brands and long lasting customer bases then maybe we'd see some better animation and cartoony toons. now it's just long form shows with vague ideas of lore and story telling.

No retard, it was stuff like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Mighty Mouse, and parent groups that ended the dark age, Gummi Bears was just your average sappy 80’s slop.

Though why should I act like you know shit about the industry, you literally called Tiny Toons the second coming of Christ on another thread, safe to say you’re nothing more than a retard.

No, it wouldn't, Chibiverse and K-Pop Demon Hunters came from focus testing from uneducated teeny boppers.

Getting anime-based shows that are wacky comedies FROM JAPAN ITSELF would result in Red Hot Riding Hood, Who Killed Who? and What's Buzzin Buzzard, telling Japan to make wacky comedies is how we got Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs in the first place.

Laura needed to happen back in 2000, not now, we need new characters like Chucky Chicken, not rehashes like what happening with Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube and Keroro Gunso.

No the fuck they weren’t, Famicom, people wanted shows like Mighty Mouse, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko, and Dexter's Lab, I’ve told you a million times before that shit like Gummi Bears were considered to be sappy slop from the 80’s. You never listen cause you’re mentally retarded.

NO THEY FUCKING DIDN'T!!! The wanted shows from the Japanese Yamato Master Race and those shows were ditched off to places like Korea, Taiwan and The Philippines.

Gummi Bears was considered to be just as important as Gundam, Macross, Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball, it was never viewed as sappy slop like Care Bears was.

Face it Famicom, everyone on this board knows you’re a retard and knows that what you’re saying is BS. Stop acting like the western animation sphere and the anime sphere are the same thing. Which is funny cause you want more cartoons influenced by western animated classics, you’re the type of person I’d expect to hate anime for it’s affect on our current industry, but no, you’d rather live in your delusional fantasy world where your underage waifu Laura Haruna was the savior of the animation industry.

You're the retard in this thread who thinks Hippo and Rhino are genders and Earth and Worm are pronouns, your posts are meaningless.

The western animation sphere and the anime sphere are the same thing, we been through this before.

We want JAPAN to make wacky cartoons influenced by western animated classics.

Laura Haruna is now 35 years old, she is not not underaged.

No, it's intelligent, Laura was born in 1989 and in 2025 that makes her 35 years old.

Still dosen’t change the fact that she was 11 in the show and in any Hamtaro media ever. You’ve basically confirmed you’re a pedo here, you’ve essentially just admitted to fapping to her.
