Here’s the second part of cartoons designed for adults! These aren’t the kind of cartoons you might have expected—there’s so much more beneath the surface!
Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty is an animated series created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, which quickly gained popularity thanks to its unique storyline and deep satire on modern society. The plot revolves around a teenager named Morty and his crazy grandfather Rick, a scientist with an unconventional approach to life who constantly invents devices for traveling across the universe and between dimensions.
Each episode is a new adventure, often putting Morty in incredible dangers and philosophical dilemmas. The show also addresses important themes such as family, morality, existence, responsibility, and existential crises, making Rick and Morty not only funny but also truly deep.
In addition to its bright and unusual visual style, Rick and Morty frequently uses absurd humor, science fiction, and parodies of popular pop-culture themes, while also playing with elements of philosophy and psychology. However, despite its sometimes dark atmosphere and adult themes, the series has charm due to its unique characters and original plot twists.
The show not only makes you laugh but also makes you think about the deeper meaning of life, which is one of the reasons why it has become such a cult favorite.
Definitely worth watching if you enjoy unusual and multilayered stories with a mix of humor and philosophy.
Conspiracy Corporation
Conspiracy Corporation (also known as Cognito Inc.) is an animated series set in a mysterious American organization, which is controlled by the Shadow Government. The series focuses on employees working in this high-security agency who are responsible for hiding the truth behind various conspiracy theories from the public. The main characters are a girl engineer and her colleague, who work alongside werewolf reptilians, mutants, and psychic mushrooms, all while uncovering the world’s deepest secrets.
The show shares a similar vibe to Rick and Morty, with its absurd and dark humor, but with a unique twist—every conspiracy theory you’ve ever heard of is a true reality in this world, and they are all carefully concealed from the general public. The animation has a sharp, quirky style that adds to the surreal atmosphere of the story.
The interpersonal relationships in the series, particularly the tensions between father and daughter, as well as the dynamic between coworkers, add layers of intrigue and humor, making it even more engaging. The conspiracy-filled world they live in is both wildly imaginative and thought-provoking.
Conspiracy Corporation stands out for its creativity, combining elements of science fiction, satire, and conspiracy theories. If you enjoy Rick and Morty or shows with a similar offbeat humor, this is definitely one to watch. I personally can’t wait for the second season—it’s shaping up to be an outstanding show.
So, if you’re into hidden truths and bizarre characters, definitely check it out!
Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn is an animated series that focuses on the iconic DC character, Harley Quinn, as she breaks free from her toxic relationship with the Joker and embarks on a journey to carve out her own identity as the Queen of Gotham’s underworld. The show takes a bold approach by highlighting the lives of the villains instead of the typical heroes, offering a fresh perspective on the DC universe.
Although I’m not the biggest DC fan, I found it fascinating to watch the journey of these “bad guys” as they face setbacks and try to overcome them. It’s refreshing to see the story from the villains’ side, with Harley’s attempts to build her criminal empire and navigate the chaos that comes with it. The series also delves into the personalities of various other Gotham characters, showing their darker sides and their struggle to survive in a city filled with crime and corruption.
The show combines action, sharp humor, intense fight scenes, and plenty of blood—making it an enjoyable watch for fans of dark comedy and chaotic, adult-themed content. Gotham itself is brought to life in a gritty and often hilarious way, with people who are simply trying to survive and live through the madness.
If you enjoy a blend of action, dark humor, and a little bit of blood and violence, this show will definitely be up your alley. It’s a fun, irreverent, and sometimes shocking take on what it means to be a villain in a world dominated by heroes.
Lower decks
Lower Decks is an animated series set in the Star Trek universe, focusing on four young ensigns aboard the USS Cerritos, a California-class auxiliary ship within Starfleet. Unlike the more renowned flagship Enterprise, the Cerritos is responsible for handling the less glamorous aspects of exploration, specifically “second contact”—the process of establishing and maintaining relationships with newly discovered civilizations. This makes for an interesting and humorous twist on the traditional Star Trek narrative, focusing on the everyday lives of Starfleet’s lower-ranking crew members.
Before watching Lower Decks, I knew a bit about the Star Trek universe, but it wasn’t as popular in my area since it came out later. However, after the newer films, I became more intrigued by the franchise, and this cartoon piqued my interest as it delves into a part of the Star Trek universe that hadn’t been much explored in the films. The show offers a fresh perspective by highlighting the “lower decks” of the ship, showing what the junior officers and ensigns are doing, offering a more grounded and relatable view of life in Starfleet.
The characters are humorous, with a mix of youthful enthusiasm and the mundane challenges that come with working on a lesser-known ship. The series explores their personal struggles and relationships in the context of the larger Star Trek world. If you’re a fan of the Star Trek franchise or enjoy sci-fi comedies, Lower Decks is a fun, lighthearted addition to the universe.
While I haven’t finished watching the series yet, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds. If you enjoy the Star Trek theme or just want to see the everyday life of Starfleet crew members, this is definitely worth watching!
Helluva Boss
Helluva Boss is an animated series that follows the chaotic and comedic lives of the employees of I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals), a Hell-based murder-for-hire business. The main characters are Blitz (spelled “Blitzo,” with the “o” not pronounced), the boss of I.M.P.; Moxxi, the weapons specialist; Milly, Moxxi’s energetic and lethal wife; and Moon, the Hellhound secretary. The team, with the help of an ancient book obtained from the Goetian Hell demon Stolas, manages to carry out various jobs while trying to keep their business afloat.
If you’ve heard of Hazbin Hotel, you’re likely familiar with the dark, adult-themed humor of this universe, and Helluva Boss fits perfectly into that vibe. It’s filled with demons, black humor, obscene phrases, and all the adult content you’d expect from such a premise. The show dives into the antics of these demonic characters as they handle their violent assignments and navigate their dysfunctional relationships with each other.
Personally, I was really excited for each new episode. For me, Helluva Boss served as a “bridge” to the much-anticipated Hazbin Hotel, but even as a standalone series, it was a lot of fun. The characters are quirky, the humor is dark, and the animation is fantastic. So, if you enjoy adult cartoons with edgy humor and a supernatural setting, give it a watch!
