Animated Series reviews from Reddit

"Castlevania"

"Castlevania is amazing."

"It's so well animated and written and is an adult show that doesn't just boil down to be offensive and make poo jokes."

"Castlevania!"

"Castlevania! I don’t know how more people aren’t recommending this."

"Castlevania Vox Machina DOTA The Dragon Prince Frieren Solo Leveling Vinland Saga."

"On Netflix: Castlevania, Delicious in Dungeon, and My Daemon are all solid."

"I will also second recommendations for Castlevania and Owl House."

"I'm a big fan of the Netflix Castlevania show."

"I thought Castlevania was pretty neat."

"Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (64 episode completed story)."

"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood(best epic fantasy anime by far."

"Very similar vibes to ATLA but a bit more dark."

"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood... has a well thought out Magic system."

"I'd recommend Fullmetal Alchemist (brotherhood and OG)."

"Fullmetal Alchemist has one of the best stories of any book/show/movie I've seen."

"Highly recommend any of the following... Fullmetal alchemist."

"One of the best full animated stories though: Fullmetal Alchemist the brotherhood."

"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is excellent."

"Legend of Vox Machina"

"The Legend of Vox Machina"

"Vox machina."

"'The Legend of Vox Machina' on Prime is good fun."

"The Legend of Vox Machina Frieren."

"Vox Machina and Blue Eye Samurai."

"Animated I’d say the Legend of Vox Machina or Invincible."

"Would highly recommend Legend of vox machina - on prime video, very funny more of an action/violent take on animated shows"

"I can't recommend Vox Machina enough... but it's probably edgy, cynical, and a bit mean-spirited."

"Arcane"

"ARCANE, prolly the best animated series that's based on a game (League of Legends)"

"Arcane I barely throw the word masterpiece around but Arcane really is a masterpiece."

"Arcane was amazing!!"

"Arcane. Don’t need to know, care about, like, or even have any remote interest in League of Legends."

"Arcane"

"Arcane isn't self-indulgently graphic and titillating misery porn, it's a seemingly heroic adventure in which a group of kids take on a bad guy in a dark setting, but the show then brutally smashes those expectations and turns into a classical tragedy!"

"Arcane (fantasy drama/action, a bit dark but is sincere and has heart.) It's a bit dark like King Lear is a bit dark."

"Cyberpunk Edgerunners"

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners"

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is also really good."

"Cyberpunk Edgerunners was one my highlights of last year."

"Anime I’d say Cyberpunk Edgerunners or Steins:Gate."

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners... if you like sci-fi you may enjoy it."

"Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Invincible, Castlevania."

"Cyberpunk Edgerunners was pretty good."

"I know it's not marvel mate but I couldn't recommend young justice enough.. recently got my 35 year old wife watching it and she not a cartoon fan lol"

"The shows I'd recommend are the DC Animated Universe (which starts with Batman: The Animated Series)"

"Pretty much all of the DCAU (Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, the New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, the Zeta Project, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and several movies attached to those)."

"Series: "Core" of DCAU: BTAS, STAS, TNBA, JL, JLU, BB."

"Series I advice you the DCAU series Batman TAS, Superman TAS, The New Batman Adventure, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock"

"Young Justice"

"And the first Season of Young Justice is great ( 2 is good, 3 and 4 are okay-ish)."

"Batman, animated series"

"Blue Eye Samurai"

"Blue Eye Samurai"

"Seconding Blue Eye Samurai."

"Blue eye samurai (Netflix) and Vox Machina (Prime) are good."

"Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End."

"Frieren."

"Frieren is excellent as others have said."

"**Frieren** is setting itself up to be an all-timer."

"Frieren is excellent - my favorite show right now."

"I was also gonna say Summer Camp Island! I think it has a lot of the same charm of OTGW, and although I haven’t watched it yet I also totally get the Bluey comparison. SCI even features a character voiced by Elijah Wood! Cannot recommend enough, it’s a wonderful show"

"Adventure time. Different vibe, but I fell in love with it! And it’s longer. Same creators, great music, also has deep themes to explore, but it’s more subtle and spread out/revealed later in the series."

"Infinity train, Stephen universe, she-ra, Kipo, the owl house, gravity falls"

"Summer Camp Island is somewhat similar, geared towards a younger audience with some jokes geared towards older viewers (think Bluey). Also, have to always mention Steven Universe just because it's my all time favorite."

"Costume Quest! And Patrick McHale worked in the pilot"

"Clarence is similar in the sense that it's set in the same town as Over the Garden Wall, so if you want a relatively low commitment (and fun!) show to put on in the background."

"Steven Universe"

"Hazbin Hotel"

"I thoroughly enjoyed Hazbin Hotel"

"It is an adult cartoon, but Hazbin Hotel."

"Hazbin Hotel."

"Seconding Hazbin Hotel."

"Scavengers Reign"

"It’s a great time to rewatch Scavengers Reign."

"Seconding Scavengers Reign."

"Invincible"

"Invincible"

"Invincible, Vox Machina, Scissor Seven, Castlevania, What If…"

"Animated I’d say the Legend of Vox Machina or Invincible."
