- Batman Beyond. Debuting in 1999, Batman Beyond jumps decades forward into the future and showcases the story of a now-retired Bruce Wayne who is acting as a mentor to the next generation Dark Knight, Terry McGinnis, as voiced by the legend himself, Kevin Conroy.
- Archer. Creator Adam Reed’s singular vision and undying creativity turned Archer from a ribald spin on James Bond into one of the most well-rounded pieces of spy fiction in existence.
- Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated is a breath of fresh air within the long-running franchise birthed by Hanna-Barbera.
- Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Mysteries are the most entertaining genre of storytelling. What’s more satisfying than a tidy reveal at the end of a whodunit, and a villain exclaiming how they would have gotten away with it, if not for those meddling kids?

The X-Men of Marvel Comics have always been the most melodramatic superheroes of all. Between the twisted love triangles, false identities, and convoluted family trees in the Mutant Protectors’ history, their stories often resemble soap operas with heat vision and shapeshifting more than your average action romp. From 1992 to 1997, “X-Men: The Anim...
Jhonen Vasquez’s idiosyncratic animated series felt like an oddball when it premiered on Nickelodeon in 2001, displaying a cynical, often mean dark comedy worlds away from the average “Spongebob Squarepants” joke. So it’s no surprise the series got canned early in its life, and it’s also not a surprise that the show has endured via a massive cult f...
A dense work flush with symbolism and allegory, “Revolutionary Girl Utena” is one of anime’s most confounding and rewarding experiences. Directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara for studio J.C. Staff, the 39-episode saga tells the story of Utena, a teen girl who wishes to become not a princess in waiting for her prince, but a prince herself. Attending Ohtori A...
Before “BoJack Horseman” gained critical acclaim for deconstructing the adult animated sitcom and turning it into a bleak dramedy, Adult Swim’s “Moral Orel” did the same thing in obscurity. Dino Stamatopoulos’ claymation series began as a straightforward raunchy satire, focusing on the naive Orel Puppington, who lives in the highly religious town o...
There are a ton of remakes, sequels, reboots, and adaptations that dedicate themselves to telling the same story over and over again. What makes “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” such a delight is that it goes in the opposite direction entirely. An anime based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s “Scott Pilgrim” graphic novel series, and featuring the entire cast of Ed...
At the beginning of “Final Space,” Gary thinks he’s leaving his solitary confinement spaceship. Instead, he stumbles across Mooncake, the cuddliest alien in the galaxy cluster (who also happens to be a mighty weapon capable of incinerating entire planets). Thrust into preserving the fate of the universe, Gary and Mooncake (both voiced by writer/cre...
By the time “Regular Show” made its debut on Cartoon Network in 2010, the animated slacker comedy was already well-worn territory. It was no longer enough to place characters in increasingly weird situations while they avoided work at all costs—you had to do something exceptional to stand out. Fortunately, “Regular Show” did just that, constantly f...
Arriving in spring 2020 at the height of a desperate need for escapism and right before the entertainment world was oversaturated with multiverse stories, “The Midnight Gospel” is just as interesting as a time capsule as it is an actual show. But it also works as a visual playground, a chance to bend the rules of physics into the kind of dream logi...
“Robot Chicken,” Seth Green and Matthew Senreich’s twisted piece of pop culture pastiche, is undeniably the best piece of art ever adapted from a magazine about collecting action figures. The stop-motion sketch show constantly mines the depths of almost-forgotten childhood media to create an absurdist collage that mixes the sacred (at least, sacred...
One of the greatest things about adult animation is the genre’s ability to constantly find new ways to repurpose preexisting footage to create something new. In the case of “Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist,” that meant turning stand-up comedy bits into therapy sessions. The show follows a laid-back therapist who frequently treats celebrity clients...
