I know there's already a similar thread here for teens, but I felt I should make a thread for animation lovers who are past their teen years. :P

Anyway, I'm a 22 year old man, and Cartoon Network is probably the channel I watch the most, though Disney XD and Teletoon (during its "Teletoon at Night" block) are pretty good too. Some of my faves (excluding anime and adult animated sitcoms ) include Star vs. The Forces of Evil, The Amazing World of Gumball, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Phineas and Ferb, Clarence, and Samurai Jack, though I like some others too. I even like the oft-maligned Teen Titans Go! somewhat, probably because I like quirky random humor, and I don't have nostalgia for the original tainting my view of it. I'm also starting to take a liking to Steven Universe despite my previous dislike of it.

I'm watching more kids' cartoons now than I did in all my teen years, partly thanks to the fact that I control my own cable subscription. :D It amazes me just how much the medium has evolved in terms of animation quality and overall humor, though going back and watching older shows is great too since I'm able to catch all sorts of dirty jokes and cultural references that would've gone over my head as a youngster.

If you're referring to the cartoons that we all watched from childhood, then yes I do. On Netflix, I'm currently re-watching the Animaniacs for nostalgic reasons. I also tend to watch Pokémon (I'm watching the XY series, though), Looney Tunes, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, and some other classics as well. The cartoon that I'm really interested in watching was He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Sometimes, I think that the kid-friendly cartoons from the olden days, like before 2010, make a lot more sense than the cartoons going on presently, since today's cartoons are just really stupid and annoying (no offense).

Current cartoons I like are Family Guy and American Dad. For nostalgia my favorites are Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny, Tweety & Sylvester, Pink Panther & Scooby Doo.

I've always loved cartoons, and that's not going to stop. I'm even finding them more enjoyable than live action shows at the moment, because the live action shows seem to have too much unecessary drama.

I'm referring to any cartoons, really. I'm a big fan of the 2010s style myself, with all its randomness and absurdity, but I can sorta see why people don't like it.

Classic Scooby-Doo has always been my favourite, enjoy it as much now as I always have :D

Bojack Horseman is an amazing adult cartoon, made me think about my depression more than any other media I've experienced. Damn that horse is sad :? ...

Same, about Bojack that is. I like when the old guy running says "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you got to do it every day. That's the hard part".

As far as adult-oriented cartoons go, I'm a fan of Archer, Bob's Burgers, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Rick and Morty, American Dad, South Park, Squidbillies, Moral Orel, The Brak Show, and this underrated Canadian show called "Fugget About It". I don't think it's so unusual for these shows to have adult fans though because well, that's who they're made for. :P

I still watch Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama, and Robot Chicken as well, but I've largely grown sick of them. I also kinda like The Cleveland Show as much as I hate to admit it.

Actually, if you actually count anime, as well, then yes (BTW, anime ARE cartoons, just in Japanese style). My favorites are Naruto, Pokémon (the same ones I'm talking about), anything by Studio Ghibli, Love, Chunnibyo, and other Delutions, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles and xxxHolic (well, pretty much anything by CLAMP in general), and the .hack series.

I like watching more 'adult' cartoons like Simpsons and South Park. But kids cartoons I find my adult mind is too mature for - except for Tom & Jerry and Arthur. Those are cool.

That's a good quote. I also like, 'I spend a lot of time with the real me and believe me, nobody's gonna like that guy'
