Probably Star Wars, TCW and Rebels, especially if you include legends.

Problem is you'd have to define deep unironically.
Deep as in profound? Deep as in intricate?

Most western shows with continuity honestly have around the same amount of lore but fandom faggots take the more popular shows and talk about the lore more than others.

My unironic vote goes to this. It has this whole crazy, barely coherent mix of in-universe character archetypes, semi-historical accounts, proverbs, symbols and references that all run pretty deep.

But everything else about the show is pretty sub par.

I'd say Wakfu/dofus if you mean Western.
If you mean US I'd say Adventure Time

this is currently running stuff, of course.

Deep lore can't make up for terrible episodes. It's like people who like the lore of TES but don't like the games.

>>95173982
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

>>95184484
That was honestly my first thought, especially with the current season. There are probably other things with deeper lore, though.
>>
>>95173982
I can't say this definitively because I'm sure there's one I'm forgetting but the one off the top of my head would be Wakfu

If we're going by original stuff (so no Star Wars, Thundercats, TMNT etc) I'd probably say Adventure Time.
Specifically in the way that it often takes a very small detail of a name mentioned offway to retroactively construct it into a whole thing connected to the general lore -I can never tell how much of it the writers planned and how much they just made up along the way

>>95173982
Ignoring the big expanded properties, maybe Gargoyles?
Because Weisman.

The dude has several detailed outlines for spinoffs that don't even exist
>>
Is the Khajiit seriously another species of mer? I've never heard that before.
>>
>>95186036
Azura chose a group of aldmer and transformed them into stronger, faster and more beautiful versions of aldmer now called Khajiit. Nirni who created the Aldmer got pissed at Azura for fucking with her babies and cursed Elsweyr by turning it into jungle and desert. Azurah then transformed them into catpeople because cats can survive in deserts and jungles I guess.

Wakfu/Dofus. It's so convoluted and confusing that I can't even begin to piece it together.

At least SU and Avatar keep a more streamlined history.
>>
>>95185809
And the whole voice cast is like 5 people total
>>
>>95187357
It is far simpler than you make it out to be. The only confusing parts come about when Ankama starts retconning things to make it work for the Wakfu series in relation to it all.

Otherwise it is pretty simple and there has been a timeline laid out already.

The only people who actually hate it are literal manchildren who have never watched it and got all their information about it from /pol/. All the shit about it being "degenerate" are completely unfounded.
>>
>>95177030
This.
>>
>>95186036
As much as Orcs. They are elves mutated into beastfolk due to Daedra shenanigans.
>>
>>95176823
Rebels basically fucked up the lore entirely, especially because of the shitty cartoon physics.
Since when did a goddamn turbolaser of a Star Destroyer have the firepower of a hand grenade? Those fuckers used to be able to glass planets.

For years I kept thinking I'd made this animation up but after googling for a few hours I finally crossed it off my shows you saw as a kid but have no clue what they were list.
>>
>>95173982
By proxy anything Marvel and DC animated cause both companies have fictional universes continually going since 1939 with massive amounts of continuity and lore doesn't get any bigger than that. If Tolkien, Herbert and Jordan were still alive making their books cartoons they'd be contenders but no one else even Star Wars doesn't come close to DCU and MU animation.
