For the love of cartoons

It is not a secret that I adore animation with the amount I post about Disney and anime. It doubt it comes as a surprise for anyone that regularly checks out my blog but I love cartoons. Cartoon Network is the bomb for finding some good American cartoons that you will fall in love with no matter what your age.
  As a kid, I grew up watching cartoons. I'm not talking about Disney and PIXAR films, I am talking about Spongebob, powerpuff girls, dexter's lab and just about every other cartoon nickelodeon, The Simpsons and Futurama, eventually moved on to Family Guy but I never enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed cartoons as a kid or even when I rewatch them now. In response to this I headed back to the land of cartoons that is cartoon network to get my fix. That is when I discovered Adventure Time, quite possibly the best new cartoon I have ever watched and never want to end (even though I know it is on its final season).
boomerang and cartoon network had to offer me. Then as I grew 'out of' those cartoons, or so I was expected to do, I was looking for something new to watch. I watched
  When I started to watch Adventure Time I got that love for cartoons back that I had wanted back for such a long time. This show alone kind of kept my cartoon needs at bay for a while but when I heard it was finishing with this season my heart broke. What was I going to watch now? What am I going to Steven Universe. This show is like no other. It's weird and magical, it's beautifully animated and I adore every single one of the characters. It has filled the animated whole in my heart that the news of Adventure time had left behind. I can never wait for new episodes much like I was (and still am until it ends) with Adventure Time. An honourable mention goes out to The Regular Show because that show is awesome and I love it. It's a good one to just pick a random episode and laugh for ten minutes straight.
watch now when I can't be bothered to read subtitles? That is when I remembered that I had heard something about a new show on cartoon network that was amazing, and that show was
These two shows combined with anime fill me with so much happiness when I watch them. I adore these three shows so much and can honestly tell anyone my age and above that have become bored with 'adult' cartoons (not talking about hentai) to watch these shows. Yeah, they're 'kids' shows but I regularly question whether they really are or not. Yes, they are on a kids network and a kid could easily watch it and enjoy it but there is another level of enjoyment when you watch it as an adult.
Much like with Disney films there are innuendos, secret swearing and many more things that will have you giggling when your niece or nephew is not (they will ask you why, be prepared for that). Basically, what I'm trying to say here is that if you liked cartoons as a kid and miss them, why not give the current kids cartoons a go. They're pretty strong.
