I'm sorry, all western animation looks bad? Such sweeping generalizations, and so wrong.

Exhibit A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_NIMH

Exhibit B. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prince_of_Egypt

Exhibit C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Into_the_Spider-Ve...

Two of those three are over 30 years old and the other is a movie with a $90M budget. I was talking about TV shows.

Though I've heard things like Castlevania are good, haven't seen it though.

You should also give Arcane a shot, it's one of the beautifully animated and written series I have seen.

We are not living in 2028. Only one is "over 30 years old".

The animation in Castlevania is in fact very good.

The style definitely isn't for everyone, I personally very much disliked it when I started watching. But once you get into the parts where the animation shines, it really shines. Highly recommend an analytical watch by anyone into animation.

It has a 90s feel that I appreciate.
