One Comment
Dylan, I’d highly recommend you check out Harley Quinn (The animated DC series).
+Clever and progressive writing
+Great characters
+Gay rep done right
+Fast paced comedy (ala Venture Bros./Archer)
+Harley goes through sincere character arcs that are engaging
Things I figure you won’t like:
-Not necessarily for kids, not sure if OA is only about that. This is a show with comically graphic violence and liberal use of wordy dirties. That said–really awesome how good the writing makes up for it. The cursing is never put on a pedastal–it’s just off hand how villans talk to one another.
-Not sure what else you wouldn’t like from that. Oh. There’s a lot of continuity references to previous DC works like Batman:TAS, Suicide Squad, etc. But also obscure pop culture references like Frankie Munez from Malcom in the Middle. Just random stuff that makes you smile if you even vaguely remember it.
