Animated Series for Adults: 4 Cult Productions

Cartoons are unequivocally associated with young children who start or end their daily routine with them. However, cartoons for adults are also breaking records in popularity. They are available on serial platforms and can be as engrossing as the biggest hit shows.

From childhood, we remember holidays and cartoons the most. Netflix, the most popular serial platform, doesn't forget about "big kids" or adults, who sometimes, instead of a serious series, prefer to watch a relaxing and funny animated series. The titles we've gathered are cult series, some of which have been produced for several decades. Everyone knows them, and their unique humor and plot have made their characters a part of pop culture. Here are 4 animated series for adults that will lift your spirits after just one episode.

1. The Simpsons

There is arguably no more popular cartoon for adults than "The Simpsons". The series debuted over 30 years ago in 1989 and has since won a flurry of awards and even more nominations for the most prestigious awards. No wonder, the Simpsons are characters that everyone can identify with. On the one hand, they form a normal family, but on the other, each character is built in a distinct and unique way.

What made the whole world fall in love with the Simpson family is undoubtedly their sincerity and smartness in showing the reality around us. The series, which at first glance seems to be nothing more than light entertainment, cleverly comments on family relationships, work, social changes, and political maneuvers. Over three decades, "The Simpsons" has become an important commentary and sometimes even a visionary project that perfectly illustrates the way society functions in America.

2. South Park

Adult cartoons are not dedicated to children for a reason. "South Park" is the best example that animated series for people 18+ should be broadcasted later in the day. It's not lacking in vivid curses, innuendo, and ambiguous scenes, which have become a trademark of this, excellent in its own way, series. "South Park" is a series that has been broadcasted since 1997. The animation depicts the lives and relationships of four boys who are in the throes of adolescence. An age that is often filled with irresponsible ideas and adventures remembered for years. That's exactly the case with the characters of South Park, who ultimately learn about adult life through their experiences.

3. BoJack Horseman

There are also significantly more recent and equally engaging cartoons. Since 2014, Netflix began producing the animated series "BoJack Horseman" and quickly became apparent that the production was winning the hearts of successive viewers. BoJack is a horse who was a big star of the sitcom "Horsin' Around" in the 90s. After the end of the shooting, BoJack's career stalled, and he got caught up in the whirl of never-ending parties and life on the edge. However, hope for a career revival finally emerges, and that's what the Netflix series is all about. Unlike The Simpsons or South Park, the humor of this series is bittersweet. Comedy is interwoven with drama, which is real life in a land where people live alongside anthropomorphic animals.

4. Włatcy Móch

Are there Polish cartoons for adults? There's still a lot of ground to cover on this issue, but the series that has stood out the most on the Polish market remains the production from 2006-2011, the infamous "Włatcy Móch". This controversial, vulgar, and extreme emotion-inducing cartoon amuses some, infuriates others, and yet others completely don't understand its phenomenon. The series tells about the adventures of friends from class IIB who want to take over the world. Each of them is peculiar, but the heart of the audience is undoubtedly stolen by Czesiu, the boy-zombie. Sounds strange? Polish cartoons for adults like to stretch reality quite a bit.
