Seeing all the posts about ideas for an animated adaptation got me thinking about this again...
TUC is such a dark series that even when I first read it as a 12-year-old in 2010 and daydreamed about my perfect animated TUC movie I would imagine it being at least FSK 16 (sort of the German equivalent to R or NC-17). Many things you can put into books for kids without issue are going to be “too much” when visualized on screen—and I don't think TUC would gain anything from being sanitized (beyond making some injuries and deaths less graphic/gross).
So, while I wouldn't mind bright colors, artistic experiments, or out-there character designs, I always thought TUC would be best served with a style that features more realistic proportions and details than you see in many of the currently popular western animated shows.
Whenever I imagined an animated series or movie, I thought of something that looked something like these:
The Boondocks (2005–2014) dir. Seung Eun Kim (created by Aaron McGruder)
Tumblr media
Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016–2018) dir. Eugene Lee
Tumblr media
Ping Pong the Animation (2014) dir. Masaaki Yuasa
Tumblr media
Night Is Short, Walk on Girl (2017) dir. Masaaki Yuasa
Tumblr media
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008) created by Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko
Tumblr media
Ergo Proxy (2006) dir. Shûkô Murase
Tumblr media
The Lord of the Rings (1978) dir. Ralph Bakshi
Tumblr media
Watership Down (1978) dir. Martin Rosen
Tumblr media
Some of these are more gritty and some more experimental but I think together they make an okay moodboard of sorts for my preferred art style for an animated TUC adaptation.
