do you have any suggestions or anything? i'm mostly looking for new shows to watch because i'm both bored and maybe a little depressed (okay, definitely a lot depressed and need a distraction)

No. My head doesn't waste any time thinking of children's cartoons.
If this were about animation we could have different conversation but it's clear it's not.

I find myself missing that Harley Quinn cartoon upon the loss of my HBO Max subscription. I wouldn't say that the show itself is good. In fact, it's got too much gore and cursing for my taste. It has the quality of being relatable to the common man. I can never get quite enough of Dr. Isley's bitter snark. I would very loosely compare it to the Venture Bros. in that it also makes light fun of existing source material. The title protagonist does have at least two moments, in my opinion, that makes you think that she has the powers of a Mary Sue sort of character. Notably, she defeats the Joker in the first episode, and evades the clutches of a Venom-powered ex-police officer later in the show. It's just a bit unrealistic, in my opinion; but you can take my opinion with a figurative grain of salt, since I don't know that much DC lore, anyway. Anyway, it's more about the drama, than the lore and the action and the typical characteristics you'd expect from a story based on comic book characters. That's not to say that it's bad, just that it differs in this respect. I do appreciate that it takes the time to lighten the mood, and not take itself seriously besides. I also enjoy that the writers have written a pinch of light-heartedness into the Bat-Man, who otherwise seems to be deadly serious all the time.

I also enjoyed that Disney cartoon from eight years ago, the one where some blond girl who thinks that Earth is a pretty great place, that this statement is remarkable because she is an interdimensional traveller who claims to have been through outer space, and that her foster homeworld suits her and is just her style. I enjoyed it enough to not bother complaining about the universally panned ending.

There's also those cartoons with those twins in Oregon, some Thai girl in a froggy world, and some Dominican teenager in a witchy world. These I find less remarkable, and to my great dismay, less likely to attract the attention of internet-goers who can actually write a legible sentence. But seeing as the target audience is the teenage demographic, I probably cannot complain.

There's no reason it can't be about animation in general. the topic was a grand total of one sentence in length when you originally posted, so why not move it in any direction? What's your favourite animation, either film or show? Mine's between Paprika, Mind Game, and Redline

That's my problem with a lot of modern animated series, they lean too far into whatever the target demo is and kinda ignore everyone else. At least with the 90s cartoons they were geared towards kids, but had writing that adults could appreciate.
Maybe that's a thing with the times, because everything is so easily accessible it makes more sense to make t hings hyper-oriented towards kids, or adults, or whatever rather than taking the time to craft something that goes beyond generations.

Simpsons, overall.

Lately, Big City Greens. Aimed toward kids but really for all audiences as far as I'm concerned.

Batman Animated Series
Adventure Time
One Punch Man
Futurama

And the rest I don't really watch anymore;
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Dexter's Lab
Powerpuff Girls
Spongebob
Totally Spies (my dad did not like how much I liked this show. I thought it was badass and was a huge fan, I watched the finale by myself and I was so excited. I just thought it was super cool)

My anime knowledge sucks, mostly because half the time anyone recommends me anything it turns out to be unbearable otaku trash

The Oblongs

Plenty mentioned are ones I love. But I can't claim something as my favourite 'series' if it goes downhill quickly. It's like Spongebob - I love love love the early seasons. Then it just becomes like any kids show. Same with Fairly OddParents.

DragonBall Z comes to mind but maybe that isn't considered a "cartoon". Other than that I did enjoy Cartoon Network with The Adams Family growing up.

Now I'm feeling nostalgic. The Flintstones, Scooby Doo and The Jetsons...
