It's not Korra, that much can be said at least. There's maybe an argument for SU despite the quality being so over the place, but Korra was a mess of a story from start to finish that is only remembered at all because it's holding on to the coat tails of an actually good show and because of an out of nowhere final shot.

G4 Pony.

It first aired in '10 and has radiated a much greater degree of influence over society then any of the other 2010's cartoons.

>By the way there's a movie coming up.

OP said important guys. I'd say from an animation standpoint Adventure Time because of how it's influenced nearly everyone on the market now and in terms of a cultural phenomenon it's MLP.

On /co/ right? Good think Castlevania is a western cartoon and not an anime.
>>
Either My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or RWBY. The former for single handidly demolishing the very concept of demographic barriers; and proving once and for all that there is no such thing as a work that is "too girly for boys and older kids", just works which aren't good enough for a discerning audence; the latter for single handidly proving that it is absolutely possible for a work of non-comedic serialised independent animation to not only be of outstanding quality but massively successful as well; without any need for big money, big studio interference or backing, or even big name, proffessional vouce actors; the idea that anybody can make great stuff today if they just try.

AT.

SU, hands down. It does so much ground breaking and teaching, I've seen anons here report it helped them with their relationships. You don't have to like it, but it is the only show this decade that really makes the audience think and question things other than the borders of human indecency.

Most of the thread seem to get it. OP said "important" so it's Adventure Time.

It started the fire.
>>
>>93858117
Except horse is the most important. AT is a close second because it started the renascence of older teens and adults thinking some cartoons are 'cool' because stoners popularised it.
Horse revolutionised the way the industry markets, the way it imagines demographics and the way it develops products for a franchise, just to name a few.
The ripple from horse will be felt decades from now. There is a clear market precedent now in the west. Autism bucks have finally been proven to be profitable on a level not yet seen on this scale in the west.

Horse show easily. 7 seasons already, movies coming out regularly and it has fuckhuge fanbase. I don't see anything come close to that.

All I will say is I've never seen an episode of the loud house that was great. All of its episodes kind of meld together in your mind and you forget most of the plots a day after watching them. Anytime it feels like it needs a boost in ratings, they just add another gay character.

Number of (you)s does not equate to correctness.
>>93857579
>>93858458

This is correct.
>>93858149
No.The honest and correct answer here is MLP.

>Shows up and caused the brony fiasco and the strongest /co/ fandom in years. Internet overflow of small horse show happens. This is already stuff that makes it a bigger deal then adventure time which did not be a influence society to nearly the same degree as pon.

If the above point did not exist then there would be a much closer debate.

>Both are responsible for creating trends. Their animations are used as the inspiration for other styles, they both changed the boy/girl show market resepectivly. Horse took flash leaps forwards and Adventure solidified the style of....whatever it is you call that washy washy style. Pony made girl adventure more popular amount the children and At is the grandad of the lolsorandomnhumer.

Pony is the correct answer in this thread.
>>
>>93858472
Well it was, people still reference to it today. The fact you do is a good example, the fact it still runs is a good example.

Though if we're trying to figure the 1st place for 90s it probably belongs to South Park.

Korra is mostly unimportant because no one is willing anymore to spit that kind of resources into an animated show, instead we've ended up with dozens of adventure time clones and shows based on the old formula of loud and random

Also Steven Universe being the most important is a joke, it's pulling less viewers now than Korra ever did, the animation is consistently a joke, and the show has more filler than a thanksgiving turkey

Korra never became that influential because no one dared attempting spitting a million per episode into a show where every episode drives the plot forward

Steven Universe meanwhile is a mess artistically and story wise, with viewership that has never reached the heights of other big shows this decade

I agree that Adventure Time is the most important, but that is nothing positive. There are so many shows that copied its style and format, and it has left the present cartoon industry stale and derivative

The last great western cartoon was Legend of Korra, since then the industry has been stuck in a pool of noodle armed, 8 bit music harping, comedy filler shows, that pretend to be deep because they got a melodramatic song playing by a band popular with millennial douche bags as something marginally sad happens on screen

Not that anon, but I'm pretty sure he means shit like Even Stevens, Phil of the Future, That's So Raven, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, their countless spin-offs, etc. Ever since Lizzie-McGuire, Disney has had a BAD habit of prioritizing gimmick sitcoms over their animated shows, and has only gotten worse with recent years. It went from cartoons sharing space with the sitcoms to eventually getting shuffled over to their other channels exclusively. They're not all bad of course, but their over-saturation hurts the channel more than anything.

I try to, I had hopes for the last season of Samurai Jack, but after three absolutely perfect episodes it completely nosedived afterwards
Gravity Falls was legitimately funny and beautiful, but completely failed to capitalize on the mysteries and villains it had and fumbled several landings that were pivotal to the show, ending after two seasons, with the first being definitely stronger than he second
Adventure Time was and remains absolutely not my taste, probably why I don't like too much contemporary animation, in fact anything which uses a soundtrack with songs that sound like video game tracks that have not been made for the last three decades I will most likely immediately drop

Steven Universe is an abomination
All the 20th Century Fox and 21st Century fox animated shows have turned into unfunny corpses that the network is dragging with it as long as people still tune in to watch the beating of the dead horse, even Archer which used to be good is clear that it has lost steam after the lost two seasons

Did you try MLP?

What about Over the Garden Wall?
>>
>>93861255
I watched a few episodes of MLP while babysitting my cousin, now it could be because we were watching the one where they are humanoid, but I felt like the stereotypical adult who watches cartoon garbage as the kid is enthralled by the bright colors and overly enthusiastic characters

Over the Garden Wall ended a month before the Legend of Korra, it was an enjoyable mini series
>>
>>93861362
>Watching the Doug version
They are no where near the quality of the show.
>>
>>93859143
Voltron, SU, Star Wars Rebels, Trollhunters, Castlevania, S5 of Samurai Jack, even Beware the Batman had more going for them than Korra did, between better writing, tone, action scenes, etc. The poor decisions made in the first two seasons and the mediocre last ruined any goodwill Korra had.
>>
>>93861362
Humanoid version is terrible. The earlier episodes are sweet and nice.
>>
>>93861461
I guess the reason I never started watching MLP was twofold, first the fanbase is one of the worst, of course this is true for most shows, but there's a good reason why the pony fuckers needed their own containment board, they are up there with the Steven Universe fags

Secondly is I'm absolutely against anything that looks like it got animated in flash, for example I had to laugh when I saw that terrible Forces of Destiny show that Disney is now producing to market their strong womyn
>>
>>93861526
>letting the fanbase affect your enjoyment of a show
Nigga that is stupid as fuck.
As for the flash animation it's decent, even good compared to most Flash shows. The upside is that the animation improves because they can reuse assets they made in the previous seasons and make new ones for the new seasons.
>>
>>93861471
Star Wars Rebels is absolutely terrible, the only watchable parts is the season intro episodes and the finales, it is an atrocity that it replaced the Clone Wars
Steven Universe is the faggiest shit ever and every character is an awful human being
Voltron has great animation but it can never escape the fact that it's generic sci fi based on a franchise made to sell toys
Last season of Samurai Jack was good for three epsiodes then nose dived into trash territory
Castlevania is the first show to show potential in years, just too bad it was only four episodes long for its first season
Beware the Batman again is another show that ended before Legend of Korra, and it never passed the point of being watchable, I hate the animation too

None of them have reached the same quality in animation, music, and plot as Legend of Korra, I miss having a cartoon show that actually has me excited

>>93857434

>>93861565
I get that the fanbase excuse it poor, but it doesn't stop it from being one of the reasons I never got into it, anyone saying it makes the show terrible is of course wrong, but it really does not push me towards wanting to watch it

Also I have never watched any footage of the show that doesn't reach above passable
>>
>>93856741
I'll agree with this.

Hell I'll even say AT's style wasn't even bad for the show itself, adventure times style fit the show they were making, but because Animation is one of those things outside the 00's, where every show had to have the exact same animation style for no real reason, everyone else took inspiration from AT's style and filled us with shit animations for a decade.

And Korra was a sequel to an established franchise to try and make more money from the established fan base.

>>93862132
Where it comes from has a lot to do with the potential a show has, Voltron has an 80s show with giant robots at a time where everyone was making giant robot shows because of Gundam and Transformers, meanwhile Legend of Korra had Avatar the Last Airbender

Batman the Animated Series was a cash cow for Warner, but the show had several decades of Batman comics to draw from

Also Legend of Korra still has a better execution, Voltron has Zarkon, your run of the mill evil alien emperor, Korra has Amon who she show never specifies if he actually believed in the equalist cause or not, a cause many in the fanbase still discuss today whether was justified or not

AT. It looks to be its own show. It's not trying to push some progressive twist on the 80's or force representation. You like a character for the character. Not just because they're gay or petite.

SU is MLP for black people. Too many 25 and 30 year olds indulged in a kids show for bs reasons. Every theme has been touched upon in other titles, SU fans just have a snobby excuse to not watch them.

I think you're overvaluing /co/ in this argument, friend. While you're not wrong, popularity on the internet doesn't make a show "important" on its own. MLP likely wouldn't even exist without Adventure Time. I will admit, however, that it deserves a spot on the list. If I had to rank them by influence, it'd be

1. Adventure Time because of everything already stated in this thread

2. Either Rick & Morty or Bojack Horseman (probly bojack because it's also a Netflix show and is generally more innovative, but I think Rick & Morty came first, not to mention its much more popular thanks to /leddit/ etc) because of how they flipped storytelling in adult animation on its head and integrated emotional complexity and seriousness that until then had only been seen in fringe shows like Moral Orel. Basically, these shows are responsible for the rise of the "adult animated dramedy."

3. MLP, for the reasons you list as well as for how it broke the mold and is still breaking the mold in conjunction with its unorthodox and controversial fanbase. As a show, it's honestly not that innovative besides proving that a licensed "girly" show can be a full product with artistic integrity and mainstream appeal--which is nice, but doesnt really involve the show itself, if you get my meaning; "being good" isn't exactly *important* out of context, whereas both (all three) of the above examples did something that had never been done before and inspired countless undeniable trends and standards, in ADDITION to being "good" shows.

I think it's only right to mention Gumball, too--it's still too early to track its influence, but everything points to it being a trendsetter. That's more or less conjecture, though.

He was a poorly written character with confusing motivations and contradictory methods that the show never did anything with. Not to mention his master plan of debending people manually is retarded. How is he going to account for all of the city? The world? What if new benders are born anyway?

The rest are even worse. Okay, at least Zaheer and his crew are cool. But then season three was an outlier for the mediocrity that is Korra.

How does a communist stop people from trading in a black market? How does a national socialist get every jew? How does the anarchist stop people from forming an authority when you have no authority to stop them with? You're asking for complete rationality from a bunch of revolutionaries

Also Amon's initial goal was to seize control of Republic City and overthrow the bender controlled government, something he did succeed with. Afterwards the goal was to maintain control of Republic City and spread the anti bending revolution

And there was no confusing motivation, what happens is we learn from his backstory that he might be doing it to rule Republic City like his father wanted, but as stated by Tarrlok he actually believes Amon is being sincere and believes everything will be better if bending is removed and people are made more equal
The audience is left to decide if Amon's stated goals are true like Tarrlok believes, or that Amon is just in it for power like his father and his brother

>>

what does it imply if not that?
>>
>>93857589
This!

Being the cartoon of the decade is all about exposure. Being "big" on Cartoon Network is like being called the tallest midget. Loud House has reached more homes, is already popular internationally, and is already getting a movie in theaters.

It's not even a contest. Loud House has been the most popular cartoon on cable television for two years now. If you want to talk broadcast TV cartoons like Simpsons and Family Guy, that's a different story, but they have been around for years and its hard to say they are important to this decade. Stuff like Adventure Time or Gumball doesn't even get the ratings to hold Loud House's jockstrap. I dare say, TLH is the only reason cartoon cable networks haven't gone completely under.
>>
>>93866047
>Being the cartoon of the decade is all about exposure
Its not about popularity, its about how a show changes the medium for the better for years to come. I don't see Loud House doing that.
>>
>>93864565
Yes. It's narrative structure is a synthesis of anime spiraling narratives and western serialized circular narratives (return to status quo). It's character designs are a synthesis of anime maximalism and western basic geometric shape designs. It mixes western slapstick with anime drama and action.
>>
>>93856741
This. But it's not a positive.

Daron Nefcy was working on the concept of Star long before Adventure Shit even existed.

Gravity Falls is partly based off Hirsch's life, and again, a concept and story that goes back years before the cartoon saw the light of day. Actually, there was an interview where Hirsch said cartoons like Adventure Time are what he was trying to avoid, 11 minute shows where the lore goes nowhere.

Just because Adventure Time was the first "hit" cartoon of 2010 doesn't mean cartoons that were already in development around the same time it premiered were influenced by it.

Off yourself.

Gumball should be mentioned for sure. It isn't the most important but I think it's the greateat overall kids cartoon of it's era. Gumball is on the same level of writing as AT and MLP, but can still be spammed like TTG.

Love it or hate it was the cartoon that basically shaped the entirety of the 2010's.
>>
>>93877450
No, that was Madoka Magica.
>>
Gumball is more prominent worldwide especially in Japan.
>>
>>93877732
One Piece & Pokemon ass rape it however.
>>
>>93877650
Loved Madoko, but I'm not an anime fan myself beyond a couple shows. Can you please explain to me the influences? By "entirety" what I really meant was "entirety of American cartoon industry" but I'd like to know why or how Madoka helped shaped animation.
>>
>>93877732
who gives a fuck about japan?
>>
>>93877839
Same reason how Ren & Stimpy shaped the 90s, it took something that already exists and turned it on it's head.
>>
>>93877853
I do, otherwise the Switch wouldn't be as big as it is right now.
>>
>>93877853

It's also popular in Arabic nations and Africa.

>>93877895

Plus, Japan actually has Gumball 3DS themes. That's how you know it had an impact.

You are the cartoon community equivalent of the sort of moron from /pol/ that denies climate change and gets all of his news from Breitbart.
>>
>>93877962
That means nothing.
>>
>>93878039
What did RWBY have an influence on? I never hear about it outside of the occasional /co/ thread, and even then I haven't seen one in awhile.
>>
>>93878053

I could go on about how it has won awards like BAFTAs and such but y'all keep living in the bubble.
>>
>>93877872
That's it? I'm not much of an anime fan but I'm not sure how that influenced anything. Magical Girls were always popular but from what can tell from my friends who do watch anime the recent trend for it recently is slice of life comedies like Dragon Maid.

Again, with AT you can see how that warped modern animation. Since it came out more and more shows and young artists began adopting minimalistic art styles with a storyboard driven focus over actual script writing.

You have to specify more how Madoka influenced modern animation.
>>
>>93878018
No of that is true however as.

>breaking new ground and not failing by being pretentious
Nope, Filmation was doing the same song and dance with Fat Albert in the 70s.
>beat the motherfucking sponge in ratings
This is not Sazae-San.
>popularity didn't go to their heads
If this were the case they wouldn't be a unneeded movie.
>bringing back good ol' cartoon plots and modernizing them
Nope, no wise cracking rabbits or zany off the wall ducks in site.
>human characters that actually behave like humans, no zany bullshit unless it's mean to be lampshaded
Nope, everyone is a 1D stereotype.
>efforts to stand out by using family values and spreading love and tolerance were rewarded with multiple season deals and feature movie
The only reason why were getting any of this is because it's cheap, we don't want any of this, we want more shows like Castlevania:TAS when there is effort and depth put into the show.

All it did was make Korra look good and have everyone begging Bryke to come back to Nick.
>>
>>93878229
>we want more shows like castlevania.
there's a reason why it's a netflix exclusive, you won't find that shit in cable or regular ass TV.
>>
>>93856719
Mlp I guess.
>>93856741
this is a close second though.
>>
>>93878299
I'm not talking about it's violent content, I'm talking about it's quality and depth in it's plot and characters.
>>
>>93878392
You can find that on TV, but it's not gonna be animated.
>>
>>93878392
>an adaptation of a 8-bit videogame with design cues from a later game in the franchise

Few companies want to put much money into animation unless it's going to have a large merchandise tie-in, unfortunately.
>>
>>93878039
and outside of the internet, what exactly has RWBY done to influence greater culture?
it's shit from anime and jrpgs that monty threw into a blender and it's ultimately a shitty soul eater ripoff
>>
>>93878126
>minimalistic art styles
I'd argue that's been around since Dexter's Lab & PPG
>storyboard driven focus over actual script writing
that's been around since the old looney tunes cartoons
>>
>>93879084
Not the show itself per se but Monty's Dead Fantasy series pushes the envelope of what fan service can be
>>
>>93879009
Explain Ren & Stimpy then.

It can happen again.
>>93879126
>I'd argue that's been around since Dexter's Lab & PPG
That has been around since the 50s with UPA.
>>
>>93879875
>Explain Ren & Stimpy then.
Do you think R&S didn't have a lot of merchandising?
>>
>>93879917
John K entered the industry to stop the toy commercials.
>>
>>93879971
Which didn't stop Nick from merchandising the hell out of his creation. He can claim that he stood on principle, but history doesn't reflect that.
>>
>>93879992
The amount of toy adds did lowered once Ren & Stimpy came out however.

The Nutshack (Season 2)
>>
>>93856741
Most influential absolutely.

Everyone is talking about the art style knockoffs, I feel like the biggest influence was that it started a trend where childish-looking cartoons had episodes that focused on mature subject matters.
>>
>>93861678
Thats the same thing, dude.

>>
>>93882444
SU is the boogeyman show enjoyed by people who are not me.It's watched by people outside the target demographics therefore it's bad.I'm above this,i read comic book who were always targeted at me
Sure ,it's a foolproof analogy
>>
>>93862478
>Every theme has been touched upon in other titles
That is a fucking retarded argument,does that mean that once a show addressed X issue,all the other show are banned from addressing it.Also that old "fan of X show only watch X show.Noto ther content ever.All their lives revolve around X show" strawman bullshit
>>
>>93883609
Problem with that is there were plenty of cartoons before Adventure Time dealing with subject matters like prejudice, genocide, political conspiracies, etc.
>>
>>93862047
>Look at this cringe thread and those nutpicked people,clearly they represent the whole spectrum of people sharing a common interest

Agreed.
SUfags do have this strange tendency to pretend Steven universe was the first to do something though.
>>
>>93856719
The seminal classic, SJ season 5.
/r9k/fags will disagree, but it's not like those non-contributors count.
>>
>>93857105
The 2016 season of MLP is largely considered to be the worst one though. I'd be extremely surprised if ANYTHING was influenced by it.

As for my own opinion, I'm going to say... Sonic Boom is the most likely to be actually influential. There's certainly more popular shows, I don't think any of them did anything particularly different in 2016 to make them more influential than they already were. The only other new "different" thing was The Loud House, and that was almost a cookie-cutter formula.
>>
>>93886421
Disregard that, I thought OP said 2016, and not 2010s. In which case, yeah, MLP wins hands-down both by showing that there's a way to write cartoons for girls without being atrocious and that slice-of-life shows can indeed exist outside of the ordinary present-day-normal-people setting.

Single handedly put western cartoons back on the radar again, everything you're currently watching, with actual plot and continuity, is a direct consequence of what MLP started, otherwise all you'd be getting is more spongebob.

I want examples of art styles on tv shows inspired by AT. only one I can think of is that other crappy show made by Ward that Frederator put on jewtube
other than that, practically every show on the air is just using the fucking CalArts face
