Best cartoons of the 2010s.

[VG_Addict]

What cartoons would you say are the best of this decade?

 

[Aerosteam]

Despite some of these not being as good as they were initially I still enjoy/enjoyed them as a whole:

Flapjack
Adventure Time
Regular Show
Steven Universe
Clarence
Over the Garden Wall
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Wander Over Yonder
Gravity Falls
Rick and Morty

Those are just the ones I've watched, I'm planning on watching Star vs. The Forces of Evil and We Bare Bears at some point.

 

[PsychedelicDiamond]

What comes to mind are:

Over the Garden Wall
Bojack Horseman
Maybe Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of Evil

Really thought I could think of more but there are just so many that started of good and then went off the deep end.

 

[Hawki]

Not really a cartoon conissuer, but I guess I can nominate:

-My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
-The Amazing World of Gumball

That's...really it. I mean, I enjoy(ed) Sonic Boom and (to a much lesser extent) Prisoner Zero, but I can't really call either of them 'greats'. Looking at other entries on this list, there are some I've enjoyed, but haven't seen enough of to comment (Star, Bare Bears), or stuff I dislike (Regular Show, Adventure Time).

 

[Zhukov]

I enjoyed Rick and Morty.

I wish it a bit less ugly to look at though. And the improv bits can fuck right off.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Good god, if Rick and Morty makes the list then the 2010s are a lost cause. That show is dreadful.

Bob's Burgers
Amazing World of Gumball
Gravity Falls

and mayyyyyybe Adventure Time, although it has overstayed its welcome by far too long.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Dan Vs
And anyone that says otherwise is wrong, and their opinion is wrong too.

Oh hell yes. It's a damn shame such a brilliant show never got the attention and following it deserved. The Hub seriously dropped the ball there, sticking it in shitty time slots because they had no idea how to market it. I am convinced it would have fared better if it had aired on something like Adult Swim instead.

Anywho, my list is as follows, in no particular order:

Dan Vs.
Steven Universe
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Wander Over Yonder (another fantastic cartoon taken from us far too soon)

 

[McMarbles]

Adventure Time
Regular Show
The Amazing World of Gumball (seriously, watch this show, it does so much with the medium of animation)
We Bare Bears
Steven Universe
Young Justice
Venture Brothers
Rick & Morty
Bojack Horseman
Gravity Falls
Over the Garden Wall
Star Vs the Forces of Evil
Milo Murphy's Law
Bob's Burgers
Voltron remake
The first few episodes of OK KO: Let's Be Heroes are on the 'net and it looks to be pretty neat.

And, y'know what, I don't care what anyone thinks, Uncle Grandpa was actually pretty good.

 

[the December King]

Does Archer count? I'd include Archer...

*checks interweb*

shit. 2009.

Okay.

...

I love Bojack.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Transformers Prime, just for Starscream alone:

Spoiler

There are definitely more, but I don't have the time to watch much as I used to. I heard Young Justice is pretty good- a worthy successor to Justice League with focus on the sidekicks, but like so many all-time greats, cancelled before its time.

 

[Ravenbom]

I could mention others but to me none is more important than:
Steven Universe

It's basically the Calvin and Hobbes for the 2010's. I know Steven Universe is a cartoon and Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip. I know the Crystal Gems aren't imaginary. They're not stuffed animals. Steven is good and Calvin is a brat. Steven is partially an intergalactic warrior and Calvin is has a Get Rid Of Slimy girlS club.

What I mean is that Steven Universe is just so pure. Calvin and Hobbes and Steven Universe both have this purity at their heart. Most of the time they're both just about the pure essence of being a kid.
It really encapsulates being a kid or a kid at heart.


Also, Legend of Korra. Somehow, it surpassed the extremely high bar set by the series that spawned it.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Yeah, I know it's anime, but fuck it. It's really good and a breath of fresh air within the putrid, pandering stank that is modern anime;

Little Witch Academia - Both the OVA's and the TV series.

I didn't know whether the TV series would be able to uphold the quailty of those first OVA's, but it really does. It's funny, it's charming, it's beautiful to look at, and most refreshingly it doesn't feel like it's trying to pander or sell me merchandise. 80% of the cast is comprised of teenaged girls... and there's absolutely zero fanservice. Yeah, let that fucking sink in.

 

[Ryallen]

Amazing World of Gumball

Young Justice

Venture Bros, not sure if it counts, though

Star vs. The Forces of Evil

I enjoyed Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien

Generator Rex was especially interesting in its later seasons

ThunderCats was really good, but not many people watched it

 

[Worgen]

My Little Pony
Steven Universe
Amazing World of Gumball
Rick and Morty
Bobs Burgers
Over the Garden Wall

 

[RaikuFA]

Gumball-a show that can do parody and drama right.
We Bare Bears-I sympathize with the bears.
Adventure Time-haven't watched it in a few years but I've liked what I've seen so far.
Regular Show-just great from beginning to end.
Clarence-does a really good job at what it feels like to be a kid.
Gravity Falls-X FILES/Twin Peaks for families.
Sonic Boom-not even a big Sonic fan but it can get a few good ROFL moments from me.
Star vs the forces of evil-I grew up watching Sailor Moon, this show kills it when it comes to parodying it.
Wander Over Yonder-What if Dr. Seuss made Bugs Bunny shorts?

 

[Roguebubble]

Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Young Justice
Gravity Falls
The Legend of Korra

You mean just like he 2010s, or the 2000s in general? Anyway, shows I like and/or want to see more of:

Adventure Time
The Amazing World of Gumball
Archer
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Bojack Horseman
Gravity Falls
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

It's just a shame so many of these were ended too soon or are being drowned out by lowest-common-denominator-pandering crap and/or tween sitcoms.

... I hate TV executives.
