What are some western cartoons you've enjoyed?
Amphibia
Tumblr media
A fun western take of Isekai, without the wish fulfillment escapism that plagues Isekai, which was actually criticized with the character of Marcy, with a lovable cast, great animation and a well made story with a bittersweet yet satisfying ending.
Hilda
Tumblr media
The best modern cartoon period, a cozy and sweet yet action packed and even sometimes dark adventure show about a little girl exploring her magical realism world.
Gravity Falls
Tumblr media
Not nearly as fantastic as everyone and their mom claims to be, but still a great show, with tons of good characters, excellent animation, and an overarching plot that while ultimately flawed (the second half of season 2 really dropped the ball on that one) was still great.
She-Ra
Tumblr media
Great solid show from beginning to end, but especially towards the end when the silly princess stuff finally began to be properly integrated with the actual plot. Also Catra best character don’t @ me.
Kipo
Tumblr media
The most underrated modern cartoon I’ve seen, a superb show with a great story, characters and a truly unique setting, not to mention it did the whole villain redemption thing everyone and their mom was doing at the time, but actually did it fantastically.
Invincible
Tumblr media
Like many others I was drawn in by the brutality of the first episode, and boy did it just keep getting better after it! Just skip everything with Amber in it, and you should be in for the best animated superhero show since JLU.
Arcane
Tumblr media
Love it! From beginning to end it was a wild ride of a show, and this is coming from someone that only knows about LoL through memes and porn. At times it almost felt like I was watching an extended movie.
The Amazing World of Gumball
Tumblr media
This has to be the funniest modern show there is, at least before they decided to use a ton of “funny faces”, when it went down to being among the funniest. Still, a love letter to animation, featuring just about every style of it there is, and with an extremely weird yet fun cast of characters.
Before jumping back to anime I used to watch a ton of these, so I’m sure there’s more, but these are on too of my head and from the last decade, but I can honestly tell you, that my favorite cartoon of all time is:
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Tumblr media
There’s just not a single bad episode in it, and every character has been as memorable as Courage himself.
Dishonorable mentions:
The Owl House: Amphibia but actually embracing the bad of Isekai.
Steven Universe: Started weird, got good but ultimately fell down the stairs due to its terrible obsession with finding good things about terrible people.
OK KO: Garbage character models and too obsessed with making references.
Adventure Time: Everything wrong with modern animation.
Regular Show: Modercai is a simp and just looking at the guy gives me cringe.
Bee and Puppycat: Everything wrong with AT and SU COMBINED.
Korra: Not canon

Mini-Review: Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space
Bee, an unemployed woman in her early twenties, encounters a mysterious creature she terms PuppyCat. She adopts this apparent cat-dog hybrid, and together they go on a series of temporary jobs to pay off her monthly rent. These bizarre jobs take the duo across strange worlds out in space.
This is the kind of show I often enjoy, episodic while expanding the world and our view as the stories pass; humorous without making me cringe.
Tumblr media
It's a very fun show that looks like its aimed at kids, and would probably be fine for that audience--it's not adult humor in the vein of things like The Simpsons or Rick and Morty, but it feels like adults are the audience because of the atmosphere.
Bee is a mess, in a recognizable way: she's been fired from her job for possibly valid reasons but also partially for taking the blame for someone else. She's aimless: if it wasn't for the rent being due, she wouldn't really be looking for another job.
Tumblr media
The aimlessness of being an adult, yet not automatically having things all together, is a running theme. Bee definitely doesn't. Her best friend and neighbor, Deckard, is struggling to decide between following his passion, and staying where he is in a predictable environment with friends and family.
His sister Cas gave up a passion project in favor of the predictable work and stability of software engineering, something she has complicated feelings about. Their landlord, Cardamom, seems to have everything all together, except he's a 7-year-old with no adult supervision, and as the episodes go on you realize that his straightforward approach to life is actually a child being forced to handle things that are an adult's domain.
Tumblr media
The setting is also fun: it's hard to tell whether things like toilets be a place to store food instead of, well, bodily functions are normal, or why a 7-year-old seriously acting as a landlord doesn't seem to raise many comments. Is this a fantasy land where things are just kind skewed anyway? Or are Bee and her neighbors extra-odd? In that way, it reminds me a bit of Steven Universe, with its mix of cartoon reality and non-main characters eventually making clear that they think this is weird, too.
Tumblr media
The actual fantastical bits are interesting, too. We get information about Puppycat towards the end, but he definitely has secrets, and Bee isn't as straightforward as she appears at the beginning, either. Their visits to other planets/dimensions (?) to earn money would be an interesting show even without showing any of their home lives.
Tumblr media
You can definitely see the influences of classic magical girl anime, but this show is also the answer to the premise: what if magical girl, but tired adult? What if magical girl, but it's just kinda a job?
Tumblr media
Verdict
Voices: Very good! They sound very...realistic, not super polished. I don't mean that they sound like inexperienced voice actors, I mean that they sound real and variable, which isn't common in voice acting. I really enjoyed them.
Also, special shoutout to my favorite character, Toast, whose first line had me wracking my brain to figure out why did her voice sound SO familiar and why was her voice affecting something in my emotions until I looked it up, and her voice actress is the English voice of Sailor Moon/Serena that I grew up with!
Tumblr media
Visuals: Vibrant and pastel colors, a very round cartoon style, it feels modern and cozy.
Worth watching? Yes! On one hand, it's just a fun series, the balance between "just living life as an aimless young adult" and "brightly-colored fantastical adventures" is done well. The supporting cast of characters is great and entertaining. And on the other hand, it's also nice to watch a cartoon that feels very much like the target audience are adults, but not because the show is raunchy. I really hope we get another season someday.
Where to watch (USA, as of September 2023): Netflix. Note that a 10-episode original web animation (titled Bee and Puppycat without any subtitle) can be found on Youtube; the Netflix series I watched is both a reboot (covers the original series' material in a few episodes) and then continuation. After asking advice on here, general consensus was that newbies starting with the Netflix series is a good idea, but there's nothing wrong with the older, original web animation.

About Bee & Puppycat, I'm so upset they didn't do anything about Howell's issues with aging. That could've been an interesting topic to explore in a magical girl show, specially one where the MC is an adult herself!
I know, right? And he was my favorite Wizard Sibling too (alongside Deckard and Crispin). I think he was also trans-coded, which it was also really neat!
That's like, a glaring issue with all of the characters in that series, not just Howell; they're not really characters, they're just gags and tropes. They don't evolve from their pre-set traits, despite the amount of screentime they share with the titular characters.
Like, I get that his characterization is intentional because he's named after Howl Pendragon of Howl's Moving Castle, who has emotional breakdowns at the idea of no longer being beautiful...
Tumblr media
...but godamnit, they've really missed the whole point of the character they've made the homage for, didn't they?

thoughts about cutting out deckard x bee in order to include crispin x bee?
Controversial opinion. I prefer the YouTube series 👀. I feel like nat had more creative control and lazy in space lacks in the relationship between bee and puppycat developments that the YouTube series has among other things (my issues with bees size being changed, the changes to character dynamic. The general silliness of it all. Like yes I wanna see them goof around but I’d have liked more time to be dedicated to the plot/character development)
However. I do prefer crispin as a love intrest to Deckard. Again. I know. Controversial opinion. I think with what we know now about bee knowing deckard when he was a baby, makes them dating feel icky to me somehow. I did love them in the original series however and was dead set on them being together but ultimately I’m just excited to see where the series goes.
Essentially? I just want a season three. I want more development between bee and puppycats (STRICTLY platonic.) relationship and I want to know more about their pasts. If she ends up with crispin? Great. Good for her. However Despite being a sucker for a good romance, I really don’t give much thought to bees romantic endeavours. I care more about how her relationship with crispin impacts her past and her backstory than I do about them getting back together.
Tumblr media
TL;DR. If they end up taking time away from bee and puppycats friendship to focus on bee dating crispin, I will be sad.

These are my best friends BF and GF! (yes those are their names but I call them Keith and Cherry!) I just adore them so much! I love being their friend! Keith would get so hyped when i'm hear to listen to him sing! I love listening to his songs! Cherry is also such a super caring friend! She lets me sit on her speakers with her when Keith gets into a rap battle! When I'm upset, they'd come over and cheer me up by hanging out and watching my comfort show, Bee and Puppycat! I'm so happy their part of my life, I hope they feel the same way. <3
Howdy Snowy! Keith and Cherry look like such fun people to hang out with and I just know they adore you too and always love getting to hang out with you!
Please know Keith is so grateful that you actually enjoy listening to his songs- he's honored that you set aside time to listen to him and attend his rap battle shows!
Cherry is so sweet, I just know she is always thinking of you, always ready to help lend a hand or an ear if you need someone to listen; she looks like she'd be really good at painting nails!
I think that's so sweet they enjoy watching your favorite comfort show with you and of course, please know they're absolutely thrilled to be part of your life ✨🥺!

Animation throughout my life: a spotlight.
As someone who's giving their life into a career in animation, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I've had quite a history with the medium. Of course, as most, I grew up watching cartoons every day, and it'd be naive to think those childhood experiences haven't deeply shaped my thoughts on both the medium and art as a whole, as well as in life in general, as the emotional resonance and mood that animation can achieve are pretty much the main pieces that bind me to it as artistic impression. This being said, in my thinking for this post, I wanted to showcase works of art that have impacted me more recently, as a series of big and fast life changes have molded me into the person I am today, and I credit these pieces, among many others, for helping me hold everything together over my yet short stint in the field of adulthood. As per my usual, I've tried to spread myself evenly into one movie, one game and one show, for the sake of balance.
Song of the sea (Cartoon Saloon, 2014)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This masterwork film comes from a very small Irish animation collective, Cartoon Saloon, held up mostly by Irish government subsidies, as their works have garnered a bit of a reputation as preservation efforts for millenary pieces of traditional Celtic/Gaelic/Irish culture. This, however, is no edu-tainment snoozefest. The story of an older sibling coping with both the birth of a new sibling alongside a wave of loss is by no means a story never told. However, there is so much more here than what can be conveyed in an elevator pitch. Breathtaking animation that fits the emotional storytelling like a glove, a score that puts chills on chills and creative use of its setting form a piece of magical realism that moved me more than I can put to words. If you don't mind crying, give it a watch, I hope it gives you as much as it's given me.
Bee and Puppycat (Frederator/Cartoon Hangover, 2013)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The history of this show isn't anything short of bizarre. Released originally as a bit of a proto-web-animated series on the YouTube channel Cartoon Hangover and later released on the Nintendo 3DS' Nintendo Video, this loosely connected, hour long show/special tells a story equally as... avant garde? (Is it pretentious to use that term on Tumblr?) as its odd release strategy. Bee, a young adult struggling to keep a job and bouncing from place to place, bumps into a strange creature that looks kind of like a cat and a dog, smelling like the latter and having the ability to speak. Over the course of the show, they go on monster-of-the-week style (4-7 minute long!) episodes, all surrounding Bee, her closest friends and her own astranged relationship with her origins and her humanity. What can often feel like a high budget meme of a show ends up turning into a series of emotional meteorite strikes that will not hesitate to put you under. Definitely one of the best things you can watch on a 3DS.
GRIS (Nomada Studio, 2018)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This game is a bit of a no-brainer for this trio. Emotionally resonant arthouse style indie productions with a cutting edge plot line deeply hitting into a gutpunch climax are, well, my favorite genre of... things, really, and this is no exception. Fully hand-watercolored, GRIS tells the story of a girl who has to come to terms with the loss of a loved one, vagueness fully intended. Over the course of the game, you begin to unravel more of the stark emotional reality of what this loss has meant to the protagonist, and how difficult it can be to cope, as what brought solace has become dim, if not fully unattainable. This game has no dialogue, none of the characters have names and is a rather simple one-sitting puzzle platformer. On top of having one of the most touching plots in games I've ever played, this is a piece of art that knows what it is, recognizes it's limits and fully embraces them, utilizing it all to its major advantage.
Overall, while far from comprehensive, these are some of the pieces that have made a deep impact on me and have helped me understand both what I enjoy and what I personally aim to strive for in my artistic pursuits, and the past few years have been quite rich in both quantity and quality for me in that regard.

About me!!
Hii I'm Deya, I like animation and horror. Black & ethnic jew. Audhd. Weird dyke and evil teenager, I suppose. The httyd special interest indeed goes crazy. Got dragged into the Rotbtd/Hijack trenches and will not be leaving anytime soon. Also a deep set pokeani obsession. Don't be surprised by Ash Ketchum being here, he doesn't pay rent but that's okay since he's autistic son #2
Mostly the ramblings of a madman here but I have been known to, on occasion, say intelligent things I swear. Sometimes writing and once in a blue moon, art. Send me an ask about one of my AUs and my heart is yours.

I find 'pro/anti' terms generally reductive but that being said, if you are a self proclaimed 'proshipper' kindly fuck off and leave me alone man
Extra stuff
☆ sleeper interests (at risk to reapear and wreak havoc spontaneously): Wakfu, nitw, mcsm, toh, lwa, BNA, ROTBTD, genloss, tales of arcadia, atla/tlok, kipo & the age of wonderbeasts, infinity train, nge, ianowt, bee & puppycat, vld, little nightmares, tdp, miraculous ladybug, gravity falls, hilda, the xmen movies, breaking bad/better call saul.. more probably.
☆ if you're an adult and want to be mutuals or follow me that's fine, just keep in mind i am not
☆ I enjoy talking to people, but also have really bad social anxiety and stare at notifications like a deer in headlights because I'm not sure how to respond. (Better at talking in tags/comments than dms tbh) also! I'm fine being tagged in things even if I don't respond, I think tag games are fun!
☆ I've been told I can come off as abrasive sometimes; I promise I don't bite (unless we're already friends. Im looking at you Lynn & Hugo), I'm just autistic 🦈🦈
☆ I lovee worldbuilding, and overthinking implications and what-ifs when it comes to my favorite stories!!
☆ I swear, a lot (just thought I'd say bc ik some people don't like that 😭) and also make/reblog a lot of suggestive jokes. I may also reblog nonsexual nudity (in art) but likely won't be tagged bc. It's just bodies yknow 👍
☆ I'm disabled/chronically and talk about that occasionally
