Why watch cartoons if you're an adult? Because cartoons often have the best
scores, most interesting plots and/or most humorous dialogue, and the most
accomplished "cinematography" of any visual media. The best are stunning
works of art and imagination.
This is a rating guide, not a review book -- its purpose is to quickly alert
you to animation you may never have heard of; consult elsewhere for extended
analyses. It is skewed from the perspective of an adult animation fan -- a
lowly-rated show may be immensely enjoyable for children and even well-made,
but couldn't captivate my attention; a highly-rated show will be competentlymade, but may or may not be enjoyable for or even marketed to (or even
appropriate for) children. If a show has English-language versions, those are
the versions I have likely watched. A cartoon with great writing and voicecasting but average animation will score higher on this list than a show with
top-notch animation but mediocre scripting and acting, or an extremely wellmade show for children.
This list covers mainly animated television series, although some films are
included to lend perspective. I have not seen every episode of some shows
rated 7 and lower and many episodes of shows rated 5 or lower. Indicated
ratings may change if I see new episodes of better or worse quality than
those previous, or if repeated viewings "warm" or "sour" my opinion, or if
many better or worse other shows are added to the list which alter the bellcurve landscape. Note: There are literally hundreds of mediocre-to-terrible
shows that are not presently featured, including a lot of uninspired anime
and "dumbed down" kiddie toons of low or no interest to the smart adult; I
haven't created this review to exhaustively list everything ever made.
Anything rated at least "5" is in the category of "average show worth
watching once for the cartoon buff, provided you have time"; you probably
won't watch re-runs, however, until a decade or three have gone by. A typical
"5" cartoon features archetype protagonists and villains, with serviceable if
unexceptional dialogue, artwork and plots. "4"s and lower feature too much
bad animation, one-dimensional characters, lousy voice-acting, plot-holes,
dumbed-down or just plain stupid writing and spastic slapstick for this adult
reviewer to stomach -- although "target" audiences will like many of them,
and some individual episodes may be fantastic (many adult-oriented spoof
comedies fall into this category). "3"s and lower will have the smart adult
scrambling for the remote. "6"s and "7"s feature more charismatic characters,
more innovative drawing and intelligent scripting than average; and anything
rated "8" or better is likely to pull you in to watching a re-run while
you're channel-flipping, even if it's well-memorized already. Anything rated
"9" is truly exceptional, and perfect in nearly every way. "10"s are reserved
only for those shows which, IMO, will become or already are timeless
classics. "11"s are simply phenomenal; you'll feel empty inside after
finishing the last episode and realizing that there aren't any more. Highlyrated shows generally have unique and memorable musical scores associated
with them. Make an effort to see every "9" and up before you croak, and most
7s and 8s.
Q. Where do I find the latest CRGFSA?
A. It is always posted within a cartoon torrent as an "Easter Egg".
