The most recent cartoons I can recall liking are:

Adventure Time
Gravity Falls
Star vs the Force of Evil
Duck Tales 2017
Voltron: Legendary Defender

If you go back further, I really enjoyed Avatar: TLA and, to a lesser extent, LoK.

But I grew up on old Disney (Fuck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, Gargoyles, etc) and WB (Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Tiny Toons, DCAU, etc.).

Oh. And while I'm not into it myself, my wife fucking loves that Steven Universe show.

None of this counts the weeb shit I watch.

wtf is with this garbage tier animation in duck tales?

Oh, yeah, that too. Animation refers to the way the images move, not how they're designed to look aesthetically.

The art direction of the new DuckTales actually looks pretty good. Too bad the show is obnoxious as hell.

In what way? I've seen 7 or 8 episodes now and haven't found it unpleasant.

The triplets not having the duck voice took some getting used to, but their more distinguished personalities is nice.

I mean, I guess someone could gripe about Webby having those mad ninja skills , while being inept in daily social situations. It is a departure from the Webby in the old cartoon. Mrs. Beakley, the maid, is a big change too.

To be fair, there were lots of shitty cartoons in the 90's too

You just don't remember them because you either didn't watch them or blocked them from memory.

But yeah, cartoons suck again, but there was a period between 2010 and 2015 when there were quite a few good ones on the air. The ones that debuted during that time that are still airing new episodes are still good, like Adventure Time (and Steven Universe. Even if the fandom is terrible, I still enjoy it, shut up >_>)

But within the last two years, things have gone down again. I blame Teen Titans Go for ushering in a new era of shit.

The kids annoy me, especially Louie. Granted I've only seen the pilot.

Interestingly, this channel I have has been showing 90s cartoons/animations that no one talks about anymore such as Stickin' Around and Ned's Newt. They aren't as enjoyable as they were back then.

Answer: They aren't "such garbage". There's gems and trash in every decade of animation since it began.

The 90s did have a large amount of gems though. I don't hear anyone calling Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Batman TAS, X-Men TAS, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Talespin trash.

The 90's also had Stickin Around, Being Ian, Angela Anaconda etc

yeah, it appears that due to TTG's high ratings, CN cancels all shows with lower ones, even though they barely give them a chance in the first place, leading to more "safer" shows
