This does not, however, mean that there are no good cartoons out in this day and age. We have to face facts. The 90's are never coming back. So let's try giving what we have out now a chance. If you watch them..Adventure Time and Gumball are actually pretty funny and cute. :/
Sure there are still many good ones out there, but they are hampered from political correctness , censorship... and the whole movement to make educational content that talks down to kids like they are stupid.
Then again, I grew up with a mix of old/new anime, 90's cartoons and 80's cartoons with a hefty chunk of it being anime. We need to face the facts that many American companies at this moment do not have what it takes to make popular animated series that are GOOD. Anime ,both French and Japanese , gives American companies an actual challenge to make quality animation. But nothing in the long term has came from the United States in recent times aside from Avatar :The Last Airbender ,Spongebob , Samurai Jack, Teen Titans, Danny Phantom... there's probably a few others I forgot about but this is my point.
We see other nations coming out with a plethora of quality content while America has stagnated into a bit of a slump . I don't believe it can be THAT hard to make a semi decent series in this day and age and keep it afloat just so we can compete on a global level with the other countries. It requires not being lazy with it ,promoting them intensely with products to kids and going towards the family model.
Made me giggle.
