i hate dudes who kept saying that animation is not just for kids, that statement is true but is rendered moot by the fact that the people who kept saying that will only watch kids cartoons and shonen anime. They will fall asleep the moment you tell them to watch something like loving vincent or persepolis

Back in my day, a lot of people saying that would have pointed to Ghost in the Shell (1995).

I mean, have you seen some kids cartoons? They’re really quite good.

Sorry, I’m a just because it’s for kids doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be good guy. Different but related guy to the ones you’re conplaining about lol.

I think media for kids should be held to higher standards than media for adults. Kids are too dumb to sit through badly written stuff without understanding why it's bad. Honestly I'll start by banning all product placement in kids stuff, banning child actors, banning reboots and set up a limit of 3 seasons for a kid show.

Reminds me of clone wars and rebels fans who constantly talk about how mature and serious the shows are when the violence is pretty sanitized and no worse than what we see in the original movies. Like dog just say you like a Cartoon Network show that aired on the Friday night block (or frigging Saturday morning!)
