TV/Movies Megathread

Pretty sure we have had animated series for adults before.

Maybe not in America.
There was Tripping the Rift, but I'm unsure if it was a Canadian or American series.

South Park, Archer, Simpsons, Family Guy, Bojack Horseman, Bob's Burgers and many others I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.

South Park is for teenagers, so are the Simpsons.  Don't know about the others.

I have my doubts Castlevania is going to be dealing with deep profound topics that make it somehow more advanced that the Simpsons or South Park.

I am sure it will be more profound than the previous animated Simon Belmont.

Archer is definitely geared towards adults.

well, deep, profound topics can be found in teenage anime. Well, maybe not Panzers and young girls and Princess something, but I've seen issues like feminism (in the 70s), robotization and its effect on mankind, genocides, racial intolerance & fanatism on both sides, the consequences of war for civilians, etc, etc.

I guess to me, an "adult series" would involve dealing not necessarly 'serious' topics, but it would include mentions about sexual activities or presence of nudity.  Tripping the rift fits the bill.  Killing people is so common in all kinds of anime/cartoons that I hesitate to call it "mature".  But since every time a women shows a bit of skin it gets labelled at 18+ in the US, I guess I automatically associate this with "adult oriented"

Finally saw arrival.  Pretty good movie.  A huge nod to all sci-fi classics, like Contact, Deep Space Nine and the Star Trek universe in general, War of the Worlds, even a tiny bit of ID4 in there I suppose.

Yeah, rock solid sci-fi movie.  It's a little hard to understand in the beginning, but then you begin to understand, just a tad faster than the lady does, just as she learns the aliens language.

At first, I thought the plot was a bit silly, but then it all made sense in the end.  Well, in the middle, actually.  Sort of.

Yeah....you could say that.

Me too!

By that standard South Park and the Simpsons are adult since they both mention sexual activities.

South Park is for 12 year olds of all ages.

Interesting Western Animation example: Star vs. the Forces of Evil deals expressly with issues such as racism and genocide (albeit in a fantasy setting), and people are killed; cannibalism (or at least, consumption of a sentient being) has been depicted, and played for horror, not laughs ... yet it is rated US-TV-Y7.  It's (mostly) a comedy, for children.

The reason: the sex stuff is kept to romantic innuendo, and jokes likely to go over the heads of kids.
