Adult Animation
A place for news and discussion of animated shows, shorts, or movies aimed at audiences 13+.
CONDUCT RULES
1) No bigotry (sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia).
2) Be civil, kind, and try to stay positive. Not every show is for everyone and you’re free to give a critique; someone giving reasons why they didn’t enjoy something may help others decide if it’s for them. However, if people are discussing a show and you come along just to say, ‘This sucks, I hate it.’ that’s just being negative and unhelpful- Please don’t. Try just not venturing into posts about shows you personally despise.
POST RULES
3) No porn/hentai.
4) Tag nudity NSFW. Sometimes these shows contain nudity and non-pornographic nudity is allowed; but it must be tagged NSFW.
5) EVERYDAY Posts that are text (comments or questions or discussion starters) or links (articles or videos) and are related in some way to a non-anime adult animation are always welcome, regardless of if a theme day is also active.
6) THEME DAYS
Meme Mondays Image/Meme/Fanart posts relating to anything animated (adult, family-friendly, and anime) welcome on Mondays. (Remember rules 3-4; and if you share someone else's art, please credit and link to their social media.)
Anime Tuesdays and Thursdays Posts pertaining to adult anime welcome on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [Note: Anime means animation originating from Japan. It does not mean animation originating from other Asian countries or Western animation that uses an anime style of art; those would be considered non-anime.]
Family Fridays Posts pertaining to family-friendly animation (including family-friendly anime) welcome on Fridays.
Full disclosure- I have never moderated a community before. I started this because it’s something I would like to see. If it picks up and I can’t keep up, or whatever, I would be open to turning over the reigns to someone else.

I really wanted to love this show like I loved Futurama.
The first season was good. And the last season, I really enjoyed. I love the voice actors and the animation too.
But once the show is over, I rarely think about it. I don't quote lines or send memes to my friends who watch the show.
It's weird and maybe I'll watch it again in a decade and embrace it.
I kinda love this show for its mediocrity. It’s not a cultural icon. There’s no rabid fan base claiming it will change your life. The morality is simple and easy. It’s just some forgettable silly laughs that keeps me entertained for half an hour, and it doesn’t seem to be trying to do anything more than that. It makes me weirdly nostalgic
Honestly... it not having infinitely quited lines makes it better, in my mind. Theres so many shows that are so good... but all anyone remembers from them are shitty one-liners that get endlessly quoted.
It may not be the greatest show in the world, but its charming and fun, and the characters are generally well thought out.
I think the biggest flaws are that its considered a successor to giants, instead of having a chance to stand on its own, and being a somewhat understated comedy in an era when people really only care about "the next big thing" instead of enjoying things as they come.
The elf song pops up in my head from time to time.
