Hell yeah I do. In fact, I prefer them to live action. You can do more, and it looks nicer. Real life is fucking ugly and full of limitations. Cartoons are not.
Absolutely! I'm currently working my way through the absolutely bonkers Transformers Super-God Masterforce for the first time right now.
A lot of the stuff from the 80s is pretty hit-and-miss on revisiting, but some of it is still gold. In general, anything produced since 2000 is much higher quality.
I like the scope for world-building and story-telling possible in animation that isn't really feasible otherwise.
I like animation for both kids and adults. I like western stuff and animé. But mostly I just love the medium - I even collected animation cels!
Ha, it's, er, complicated. It kind of follows on from Headmasters, but is set in a world where people don't know about transformers. Optimus Prime seems to have never existed - there's a robot that looks exactly like Optimus Prime, but isn't, and nobody even bats an eyelid.
The Deceptions/Destrons are led by two powerful human sorcerers following commands from a weird glowing alien blob with tentacles called Devil Z.
The Cybertronians spend most of their time disguised as humans or monsters, and it's the humans that become the heads for giant robots.
Masterforce really feels like it's its own thing. I just think of it as an alternative universe, like TFA. Trying to make it fit in causes too many headaches!
I rewatch adventure time all the time. Also the future episodes are good but too short. I also watch Fionna and Cake but that is basically made for the fans of the og show not really kids.
Almost never… animated stuff doesn’t draw me in the way it used to. I kinda wish it did. But it also feels like it isn’t for me. Oddly, I did watch fluffy paradise from beginning to end in a single sitting. But that was the first in a few years.
Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.
But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.
I only ever eatch cartoons, everything sucks so cartoons make everything better. So much so that I even want my own cartoon. I've been developing a pitch document that I'd like to pitch to a company that I've been talking to.

As an adult, it's only sad dramas and dreary procedurals for me. No time for fun what with taxes, job, and housework. I'm afraid it's all very serious, adulting. I'm gonna sing the doom song.
I have VLC streaming Toonami Aftermath on my second monitor at work, pretty much 24/7. It’s always fun to look over and see the weird shit that is playing. I’ve seen commercials for PS1 games, toys that don’t exist anymore, etc… And if I work late, they usually play DBZ Abridged on Wednesday evenings. That was a particularly funny discovery, because my coworker saw DBZ on my monitor, and mentioned that they never got into it. I turned the volume up just in time for us to hear Vegeta complain about getting hit in the dick.
Not as much, mainly because there's an unwritten rule with watching cartoons you grew up with. That being, don't watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid. Because not all cartoons are going to land the same as an adult than it did as a kid. So, there's some shows I avoid myself to not have that feeling. There's others like the old Transformers stuff I'd watch because that was a little before my time and I heard it was good, as well as the other series.
But revisiting things like old Nick cartoons or even a lot of Saturday morning level of cartoons because, I enjoyed those more as a kid than I probably do as an adult.

in reply to Vader • • •I have kids, so yes, I watch kids' cartoons. Today it was DuckTales.
Without kids, I probably wouldn't watch any tv except what my wife wants to watch. I'd always rather be playing a video game.

in reply to Vader • • •I watch plenty of animated stuff but not specifically kids stuff. Movies I would, shows not so much.
Books, though? Some of the best written and most interesting books I've read as an adult were labeled as YA books.
Never mind - looking through the comments at what is called kid cartoons, yes I do watch them.
