Some of the best filmmakers working today have tried their hand at animation, and a lot of it is particularly not for kids. It makes sense that some brilliant grown-up movies would be animated.

Beastars— is an unusual but endearing anime that takes place in a world full of anthropomorphic animals, and the tensions that come with predator-prey relations. Think Zootopia, but with adult themes, coming-of-age drama, and an unexpected love story. The anime series follows Legoshi, an anxious, reserved gray wolf who develops a fascination with Haru, a tiny but fearless dwarf rabbit. Their burgeoning friendship (and romantic interest) with each other takes place amid a rise in tension at their school, after the killing of a herbivore by an unknown carnivore. Despite the strange premise, the series is filled with poignant takes on self-discovery, stereotyping, and choosing one’s own path in life.
Disenchantment— is a Netflix original from Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama. But this time around, the story takes place in a medieval fantasy land and follows the life of a princess who is anything but your typical fairy tale protagonist.
Love, Death + Robots— is a sci-fi anthology series; with each episode telling a different story from a different director. This means that each episode varies not only in its chosen animation style. Rather, tone, themes, and other elements contrast starkly across each episode. Stories range from hyper-violent, hypersexual tales to entertaining, cartoonish reflections on the human condition. This show will make you feel everything from disgust to merriment due to the sheer variety of story topics.
