My Top 5 Cartoons of the Decade
The 2010′s was the decade my interest and love of cartoons soured. It was also the decade where the cartoon industry made leaps. I wanted to list my favorite TV shows from the 2010′s mostly for my own pleasure. In no particular order.
This show is an aesthetic. Its an experience. A lot of people described this show as Adventure time crossed with Gravity Falls. That’s true but its also SO MUCH MORE. I was so immersed in the world and the characters. Hilda, David, Alfur, and Frida are great. The story-lines are really well written and every time a new creature or aspect of the world was introduced i just wanted to know MORE. The colors are so satisfying. Like, the show just really nice to look at. Like i said, its an aesthetic. Also, that intro song is everything.
Netflix, I want a season 2.
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Currently my favorite show, will probably be my favorite for a really long time. Why did I choose this over 2012 Tmnt? Lots of reasons, but what i like most about this show is that its different. Its a HUGE deviation from any other Tmnt series we’ve seen, and people HATED it because of that at first. But the fact that the show is different is its strongest suit. Its new, and its exciting and i could go on and on about it. I love the relationship the boys have. Like, there are two types of relationships they could have: Really annoyed by each other most of the time, bonding occasionally(i.e every other tmnt series) or love each other all the time and annoy each other occasionally, which is Rottmnt and i love that. The brotherly dynamic is so good. I hardly even notice that Raph is the leader because they act as equals all the time. The VA is phenomenal, the animation and character chemistry is beautiful and i just have so much good to say about this show, lets move on.
I said the Hilda was an aesthetic but this show is just a world of its own. I will watch this show every year for Halloween. Im a sucker for anything having to do with Halloween or autumn and this show goes hard on both of these, but that’s just what i love about it aesthetically. I loved Wirt and Greg and Beatrice and their story and journey. Everything is so immersive. The atmosphere, the story, the MUSIC i love all of it. OTGW is definately one of my favorite animated series of all time.
OH this one was good. I think this was the show that made me realize i had an obsession with cartoons. This show has tens in ever category. Story, Writing, Characters(iffy about Mabel but i still love her) just everything about this show worked for me. It also has one of the best finales I've ever watched. I can gladly say that this show turned me into the cartoon junkie.
The Amazing World of Gumball
This show is the pinnacle of comedy. Like, no show has ever given me as many belly laughs as Gumball has. The writing and the jokes are so sharp you could cut yourself on them. Its hilarious. I’m not gonna let its terrible ending ruin my opinion of the show which is that it is the funniest thing to ever grace my TV screen.
I have SO many T.V shows from this decade that I just love. Ya’ll know Tfa would’ve been on this list but that’s 2007. Here’s an honorable mentions list cuz damn I love these shows.
Followed this show forever and had a heart attack when there were rumors that it would be cancelled. The last season really kicked it up to a 10.
Star Vs the Forces of Evil
The characters and story in this show were really strong. The romance sub plots were dumb as hell most of the time but I fell in love with all of the characters.
NEW SEASON COMING SOON WOOOOOO! I cant wait to see more of this show! This show awoke the theorist in me and i cant stop thinking about what everything means, and how the train works, and the multiverse and it stimulates my brain a lot and i don’t know why. Its just such an interesting concept and i cant wait to uncover more.
So yeah. Props to you if you made it this far. Happy New Year!
