Never seen Evangelion, but Gargoyles.

I'd have to say Avatar.

evangelion is shit

>>91845375
What do you mean by that? Terribly overrated? Extremely divisive? Fucked up beyond all reason?

>>91845375

Evangelion is the Evangelion of cartoons, anime are cartoons, and manga are comic books.

>>91845375
To be honest, Steven Universe is a very good fit...

A severely overrated show that people treat like a masterpiece because "2deep4me/muh deepest lore"

>>91845375

I don't think that cartoons really have an equivalent. Because of how the west treats cartoons, there really can't be one.

Evangelion was a landmark show that came at just the right time, hit a largely untapped cultural moment, and did so in such a way that for better or for worse people have been talking about it nonstop ever since. It triggered a wave of imitators trying to ride its coat tails, changed how a lot of previously established anime tropes got used and invented a couple new ones. You can basically write a college essay on just the last 5 minutes of the movie and what it means.
Love it or hate it, its about as immediately recognizeable and known there as Star Wars is for us.

Western cartoons don't have anything that approaches that, because for us to have an equivalent show the west would have to give way more of a shit about cartoons in general in the first place. No western cartoon has that sort of cultural impact because our culture doesn't give enough of a shit about cartoons to care.

You could maybe argue that Watchmen was something similar for comics, but if we limit ourselves specific to cartoons we got nothing. Even our most memorable cartoons (probably one of the disney movies) are basically fluff. Which doesn't mean that we don't have good cartoons too, but none of them have the sort of impact and following needed to compare.

Gargoyles.
Like eva, it usually is coasting along at not bad territory and occasionally dips into amazing or trash levels. Usually trash, but sometimes amazing

Well let's first find something that parallels the following characteristics.

>Great animation
>Not obscure by any means
>A lot of symbolism for the sake of symbolism, but it's really not that deep
>Constantly seen as a turning point in all animated works
>Incredible musical score
>Incoherent ending on a shoestring budget that pissed off fans

>>91847305
>unable to get jokes
/co/ in general senpai

>>91845375
Watchmen.

>>91845375
>Whats the evangelion of cartoons
/a/ here, this is your criteria:

>Considered a masterpiece even though it's pretty mediocre.
>People still talk about it 22 years after it started
>Often a person's first or very early foray into the media
>The creator is a lazy fuck who has admitted they had no idea what they were doing and most things worked out by accident.

I have no idea, nothing really comes to mind for /co/ content.

>>91848821
>>91851403
Watchmen comes to mind for comics, but I'm at a loss for cartoons.

Probably this. Too much introspective shit, the war elephant and the giant bubble guards, the lich as an evil angel, magical artifacts that bring lots of destruction and smart ((independent)) female characters working to keep safe Ooo

>>91851403
Futurama?

>>91845999
This. Shit got existential but tantalizing ambiguous toward the end there. Also the hard sci fi setting in a post apocalyptic world, where one shadowy super governmental organization has the answers to man's salvation, except instead of angels it's some kind of super plague.

>Super secret spy lady - check

Nope.

12 oz mouse

What's the Giant Robo OVA of cartoons?

>>91845375
There isn't one, and there never will be.
>>91845435
No you fucking retard

>>91851403
Watchmen and Bojack Horseman.

>>91852202
But 12 oz. Mouse has shitty animation, no plot, and jokes that aren't funny. In fact it would be the polar opposite of the /co/ equivalent of Evangelion.
