Most adult animated shows tend to be comedies, and sitcom-ish in nature, where the characters don't actually move very much in any given scene.

StealThisSheen 05/18/24 4:48:52 PM #19:	It's honestly not even "lazy" production as much as just being smart about where money is spent. If you spend less on animation, for example, you can afford to hire better/more known voice actors. And since most adult animated shows are comedies, the voice work matters a lot more. And, like TheOnionKnight said, there are well animated adult animated shows out there. They're just more rare because the genre of show that would benefit from better animation is more rare in adult animated works. Adult animated shows are a limited value commodity, so they typically can't afford to have a huge budget. Thus, they have to be smart about where they put said budget, and animation is one of the first things cut, since your average adult animated show doesn't need it. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

ellis123 05/18/24 7:17:25 PM #26:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] 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. Quezovercoatl posted...

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. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Hard to believe when most adult cartoons feature such levels of gore, lewd or swearing that only a teenager would find funny Their target audience is college-aged folks, I believe.

As a show heavily based on fart joke tier humor it is completely a "show for younger people who want to feel like they are older" in every way that Re:Monster is.

And then made some sort of weird "you keep on bringing up anime!!!" lore about me. Being generous you merely have me confused for someone else, because that is a pretty wildly off base recollection of what I post. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Things like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman etc. are what they are chasing for the demographic Tbh 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 theres a reason they take a while off in between seasons --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ <cite>TheGoldenEel posted [p:980456089] in Why are so...
