the man in charge of adult swim hates animation

he said so himself years ago

It shows

I guess so huh.

Shit he's still working on that cartoon.

I remember it because the animation quality is ridiculous, even though it's a one man job.

yo

now, when you say serious, what exactly do you mean by that?

non-comedic?

I imagine so, yeah

I honestly don't know, I didn't see the original source.

As far as adult animation in the US goes, I can think of

Rick and Morty, Family Guy, American Dad, Archer

if you want serious shows with good plot, i can find a few good ones for you in anime, should you want me to

Basically everybody just aping off of The Simpsons.

death note comes to mind, so long as you ignore the fanbase and just watch the show

😃

probably

Death Note is a good one

ive been talking about anime for the past 20 min, so...

That animation is fucking ridiculous. He does everything by himself.

Even most of the voices.

whoa, is the reason that anime has so much exposition due to them being adapted from manga?

yes and no

animating talking is cheaper

good point

but manga does have a loooooot of talking, since it can get away with it easiest

i hate exposition

exposition can be fun. depends on how it's handled

It's a consequence of the source material, yeah

are there any animes that dont rely on it?

it's too tedious for me

there are very few that simply 'show' everything, as it can be extremely difficult to get a point across with only images in most shows

It's even worse in games because playing it is the point

And exposition gets in the way of that

plus, anime plots tend to be... weird

To be fair, it's not just anime that gets heavy handed with the exposition.

American comics are really bad about it too.
