These Were Really Nice Surprises For Me - Tumblr Posts
For anyone who needs it heres some other adult/teen cartoon content creators which are leagues better than Helluva Boss / Hazbin Hotel but I try not to spoil anything in the synopsis and describe them really badly 💀
Disenchantment
Kinda generic in terms of animation but has a charming artstyle and a cute demon. Follows the story of a young woman in a medieval kingdom filled with magical creatures.
Contains heavy subject matter, alcoholism, fantasy violence
Glitch Productions
Home to their 2 major shows;
Murder Drones, (their current project) a series about 2 very different robot races joining forces and solving the mystery of where they came from while figuring out why they even exist. Beautiful CGI animation and music and some great character development.
contains blood and guts, innuendo, language, and heavy subject matter
Meta Runner, a series about a girl named Tari in a world where video game "Meta Runners" are abused for their power.
Contains heavy subject matter.
Lackadaisy
So far only a pilot, but has a fleshed out comic on webtoon; set in 60's Misissipi, Lackadaisy focuses on a gang of anthropomorphic cats stealing booze and getting into gun fights. There's more to it than that obviously but I'd suggest watching/reading it yourself to find out more!! The OST is amazing, as is the animation, using amazing hand-drawn animation reminiscent of old Disney movies.
Contains blood, language, alcoholism.
Love, Death, and Robots
A Netflix show, consisting of multiple shorts created by many talented creators. Every episode is animated but has a different style; hand drawn to CGI.
Content varies with each episode; innuendo, nudity, blood and guts, alcoholism, drugs, language
My favourites are the 3 robots shorts which are just really cute
Bojack Horseman
Bojack Horseman is a series which while containing humor, also focuses on some extremely heavy topics pretty professionally.
Contains... A little bit of everything.
Moral Orel
A claymation series focusing on a cheerful young child living with abusive parents, who wants to keep up with his commitment to God; but it ends up with him learning some harmful lessons.
Contains heavy subject matter, sexual violence, alcoholism, child abuse
Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal
I fucking LOVE this one, Primal is an animated series about a caveman who forms a bond with a T-rex. Doesn't stray away from violence and NEVR sugar coats anything. Shows what living in the dinosaur ages could have really been like.
Contains blood and guts, heavy subject matter.
Arcane: League of Legends
Look i know what you're thinking, "League of Legends is cringe euuuugh" ENOUGH- This is a show completely unrelated to LOL and has beautiful animation and fantastic characters. Contains some bangers from Imagine Dragons
Contains fantasy violence, heavy subject matter
... and some beautiful CGI.
ENA
A series on YouTube by Joel G which combines many different animation mediums, primarily CGI with some traditional mixed in here and there. Perfect for all your weirdcore and dreamcore needs. The plot follows ENA, a yellow and blue creature who has BPD. They resemble a Picasso painting, idk just makes me happy :>
Features fantastic music made by Oliver Buckland and METAROOM!
Contains multiple mental breakdown scenes but they're shown creatively using animation to sell the effect of someone being driven to insanity by their self hatred. Implied alcoholism.
