Top 10 TV Shows: Animation
The highest-graded animation TV shows we have reviewed, best first.
Rick and MortyThe highest premise-per-minute rate on television, wrapped around a genuinely bleak argument.Read the review
Batman: The Animated SeriesPainted on black paper, scored by an orchestra, and still the definitive version of the character in any medium.
ArcaneA video game adaptation with no bad episodes, and animation nobody else on television is attempting.
FuturamaThe smartest cartoon ever made about being lonely in the future, and the jokes hold up on every rewatch.
X-Men '97A continuation of a thirty year old cartoon that is braver and better written than the films ever were.
South ParkNearly thirty years of construction paper satire, and still the fastest show on television at turning the week into a joke.
The SimpsonsThe most quoted program ever made, and still the standard every animated comedy is measured against.
Harley QuinnA filthy adult cartoon that is also the most emotionally literate thing DC has made about its own characters.
CastlevaniaThe game adaptation that proved Netflix could sell grown-up animation, at its best when Dracula is a grieving widower rather than a monster.
Big MouthA filthy and surprisingly kind cartoon about puberty with a voice cast in top form, stretched over eight seasons until it ran short of new things to say.
