Sym-Bionic Titan, it was literally a hybrid of a high school drama and a mecha action show.

I don't understand that argument, it's not hard to write how actual people would react in a fantastical situation.
TV writers are just salty because they can't write actual people and don't think people should expect them to cover plot holes.

Regular Show.

This pic is a great example of the Simpsons' writers' disconnect with the youth and modern pop culture.

There are literally hundreds of show that juxtapose everyday life and problems with an absolutely insane double life, or even meld the two like in Steven Universe where Steven is an rock-human abomination with a crazy life but also everyday problems that make him cry like your average fat little sissy.

That is from many years ago, and western animation barely has anything like this. As anon said, the only thing on this thread that truly fit the description is Neon Genesis Evangelion >>95122860 and FLCL >>95122587


The rest lack in some aspect.

>>95123282
yeah and the bad juxtaposition's ruining it.

>>95122562
The Proud Family

>>95123329
I know that it's from many years ago, Simpsons also stopped dictating pop culture many years ago. Now they try to be "hip" and "with it" by referencing months old if not years old memes. It's just sad. But you can sort of pin-point where it started to go wrong. They grew too fat and complacent, didn't want to change the show to stay relevant, or replace the old writers with new ones who would know what's up with today's world.

I also disagree, with you on only FLCL and Eva fitting the bill. Unless you take the "magical flying robots" bit autistically literally.

>>95123329
The argument even fits back then, though: kids always wanted Transformers and GI Joe and Thundercats and stuff to be more relatable without sacrificing the crazy or adding """relatable""" characters. They want crazy situations that fuel their imaginations complimented by characters struggling with social problems that they can empathize with.

>>95123445
You went on an unrelated rant over how Nu Simpsons is shit, I dunno why. But yeah, its shit and all.

>Unless you take the "magical flying robots" bit autistically literally.

Its suppused to be an integral part of the show.

I'd say mostly around 88/89 was when that stopped being the main focus, but yeah.

They were so big because they combined impossible, imaginative events with human drama. It both acts as a window into the supernatural and as a character study. Kids can both have a sounding board for their frustrations (why doesn't this girl like me, why am I not accepted, why are people so unfair) while also experiencing issues they don't personally know and get insight into how other people think. It's also entertaining to adults because of the common dramatic irony (Peter blames himself for all the wrong things, most of the X-Men are hypocrites, etc) and the soap opera structure. And then the weirdness and action is great when juxtaposed with this, as it gives weight to the drama and breaks up the monotony.

Shame how the people running the company don't understand what made their books sell.

Scott Pilgrim is a decent comic example
The idiocy and personal issues are pretty grounded in reality, but the fights and shit are out there.
