Hard to believe when most adult cartoons feature such levels of gore, lewd or swearing that only a teenager would find funnyShows that are "pushed as for adults but are actually just for teenagers" is a genre, yes. For instance, in this season of anime there is Re:Monster, which despite being marked as seinen literally has no plot beyond the MC eating random crap to get more utterly random powers like some sort of dragon with an "RPG power" hoard and the only reason it's seinen is because he keeps having sex with everyone. It's very much edgy teenager's view of what adulting is.
I have to imagine it's cheaper, and the adults are more there for the jokes than the animation itself. Animation just gives a better way to tell jokes that can be hard in live-action.
Lazy production.
That's completely different from the low effort adult swim stuff they're referring to that's filled with lowbrow fart and toilet humor and cartoon torture porn gore as a punchline. Sausage Party being one of the biggest exemplifiers.In the context that we're talking about: no. The literal act of using different low-brow nonsense humor is the delimiting factor, not the actual dumb punchline. "It's funny because he wants to get drunk" is not actually different in any real respect to just flat out fart humor, both are childish humor with no actual thought put into the joke. Not exactly sure you even know what I'm talking about if you don't think Re:Monster doesn't have copious amounts of torture porn, though. Unless you're meaning that that's what's supposed to set it apart from what you're talking about, because I would disagree quite a bit there.
It's seinen because it's published in a seinen magazine tho. While you can usually get some kind of idea based on the target audience of the magazine It's published in what it would be like, it doesn't really hold all the time and there's plenty of series that are unlike a lot of the other stuff in the magazine all the time..That's somewhat my point? It is put into a explicitly "this is for older guys" magazine despite being complete shlock seemingly only to push sales to edgy teens. Just because something is marketed as something for adults doesn't make it actually for them, and many things are just "for adults" because the author wants to be edgier than they are allowed at a lower rating. Inversely things that actually are for adults tend to be wildly different in every respect than what we're talking about. My point is largely that things for adults tends to focus far more on the writing than on the art (most of the time, there are definitely exceptions), and thus "for adult" shows will trend very much into the vein of being less visually busy.

Because the most popular adult animated shows since the 2000s have almost universally been very cheaply animated stuff. Things like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman etc. are what they are chasing for the demographic
Counterpoint: this show was funny as fuck
I wouldn't exactly call Family Guy cheaply animated.
Because it's more teenagers being obsessed with characters being horny. Adults are more about the writing.Have you seen shows like Family Guy, American Dad and Dick and Morty?
You're completely off-base. The context is referring to you acting as if ugly adult animations have mature writing to compensate for the ugliness and pointing out how a good proportion of them don't, and they're the ones TC is likely referring to.Yes, because weebs absolutely are the ones saying that anime is worse than western cartoons. Ignoring the fact that that was never the point of what I said, of course.
You're clearly just trying to showcase your usual insecure weeb signaling again. Bringing up random niche anime in topics unrelated to anime so you can go "see, I watch anime and I'm aware it's just as bad if not worse than cartoons!"
Have you seen shows like Family Guy, American Dad and Dick and Morty?Yes? Now extrapolate what I said and say the conclusion.
Those shows are filled with horny jokes. I wouldn't call those shows quality writing.
Shows that are "pushed as for adults but are actually just for teenagers" is a genre, yes.What's ironic is that the current generation of thirty-somethings is actually going back to their childhoods on a trip down nostalgia lane while the stuff being marketed to them is being watched by their kids.
Yall need to check out Smiling Friends. Adult cartoon with some actual good animation.Yeah seriously this thread is garbage and it seems like people are posting about adult animation like it's still 2007
What's ironic is that the current generation of thirty-somethings is actually going back to their childhoods on a trip down nostalgia lane while the stuff being marketed to them is being watched by their kids.Moving off of cartoons, the one that I think of in that line is the "classic rock" proliferation on the radio.
I said insecure weeb. Consume a lot of Japanese media but are insecure about it so you need others to know at every thread at how flawed you think it is and how you're not like other Japanese media consumers.Yes, and I was merely coming up with something off the top of my head. Hence why your entire line of reasoning was off-base in its entirely.

You clearly came into this topic with a weird chip on your shoulder trying to make this a cartoon vs anime thing when it wasn't. You do this all the time. There are some other users who also do this but you're definitely #1 here.Fine. Then lets do it with South Park. Hopefully that's not too Japanese for you.
You think you're clever huh?No, just more so than someone who couldn't get that the act of bringing up something recent that came to mind wasn't some sort of "anti-anime weeb" psy-op, whatever the heck you meant with that nonsense, and was just the act of a benign + topical example.

Things like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman etc. are what they are chasing for the demographicTbh Rick and Morty is really well animated. The main characters are a design choice but there is some fantastic sci Fi animation in there as well
