Is there any western show that's animated better than Gravity Falls?
ONE PUUUUUUUUNCH!!!!
Pig Goat Banana Cricket
>>83521935
mediocre cartoon aside, that animation is really fluid
>>83521485
Loads, Gravity Falls rarely, if ever, impressed me with its animation. What a bizarre thread
Korra, Avatar, Wakfu and Gumball just to name a few.
Boondocks

First A:tLA. Though that was done in Korea, so I wouldn't count it as "western" at all.

avatar and boondocks are pretty greatanime

Was good, but some of those shots were ripped right out of the Cowboy Bebop movie

If it needs to be exclusively animated in a western country you'll be very limited in scope. I don't think there's a cartoon in America animated in the states since the 80's
>>83522412
OP never specified a time period.
>>83522185
I want to hug them because they seem so upset.
>>83522453
There were very few series before the 80's that I'd consider well animated in any degree. Hell quality animation only came to syndicated tv series when they realized Koreans and Japanese will animate for pennies on the dollar. The best animation I've ever seen is when big American studios pay TMS to animate for them.
The TMS episodes of Batman TAS are probably the pinnacle of well animated 'western' cartoons

fluid but not particularily interesting.
You'll note that there's very little motion in the tweens.
When the ghost grabs the bottle, there's maybe 5 frames before it goes to the drinking animation loop, which holds for almost a second.
I think the ripping friends had some quality animation though. But it's been a long time since I watched that
Venture Bros. is the pinnacle of western animation
The Mighty Monarch is the pinnacle of Venture Bros.
Dr. The Mighty Monarchs Wife is the pinnacle of the Mighty Monarch
And her pinnacle is her smoky voice. There is no way to deny these truths

IIRC this episode was animated by either TMS or Sunrise.
Look carefully at the blowback when Count Vertigo fires the sonic disruptor.
The way his cape flows backwards, and then his shoulders fly back and lock up to the weapon.
The swirly eye thing and glowing gun barrel are cheesy as all hell, but it's so smooth and weighted

Alex can fuck off. He ended the show way too fuckin' early
Spongebob
Simpsons
South Park
Just to name a few.
Amazing World of Gumball.
It also has better writing and better spoopy mystery town.
>>83523527
There's some bit in Gumball where Gumball's body parts move around and I was really impressed by how smooth it was.
>>83521985
>wakfu
Granted I've only watched a few episodes so far but the animation seems like flash-tier garbage to me. Does it get better?
>>83523576
>Does it get better?
Maybe.
>>83523565
Gumball has the best animation. There was one episode where Gumball was jumping out of an airplane and there were just fucking beautiful camera angles. He's jumping off of objects in the sky to save Bobert the robot and the objects were so well rendered they looked real.

>It's a shallowly copy Eva fight scenes episode
>>83524618
So every episode then?
>>83524618
Outside of "they are big" what aspect of this is a copy of Eva? It's as much a copy of Godzill vs Gamera.
Wander Over Yonder, again, forgotten.
>>83525326
I would've mentioned it sooner but I didn't want to look like a fool.
The Mr. Peabody and Shemran Show isn't greatly animated but sure is pretty to look at and is better animated than almost every toon animated in Canada (shows like Star vs.' first five episodes and LPS included).

[OP reply]
To this day I have not found a single show that is as consistently well-animated and visually detailed (at least in the backgrounds) as GF. Gumball comes close but it's more impressive in the way it blends the mixed media together. Then there's Avatar and Batman TAS which look gorgeous but are from a pre-HD time.

are you 12?

>"flashy"
You got me
>>83521485
Most of them, if you think GF's animation quality is anything but mediocre you're a deluded fanboy.
>>83521985
They don't look better, Avatar/Korra just have more detail when GF has alot more frames.
>>83522561
Japanese pay check per episode when outsourcing=$5000-15,000
Korean pay check per month when outsourcing=$2400-4200
Not pennies at all
Also the The TMS episodes of Tiny Toons & Animaniacs are the pinnacle of well animated cartoons, not Batman.
>>83522412
Startoons says hi.
>>83523046
>>83523684
No, not at all.
>>83523061
Sunrise/SMIP did that episode, TMS put in alot more effort in Batman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccC6LcqwS5Y
That is TMS.
>>83527224
Only Batman looked gorgeous, and only a few episodes had effort in them.
Avatar had more detail but Rough Draft was leagues better.
>>83527769
weeabo fag plz go away
>>83521485
Well, what era are we talking here because we literally have shows for decades that have had better animation than GF.
>>83525326
I love Metalocalypse but it's hilariously lazy-animated. Not as lazy as most of Adult Swim's shows, but aside from mass murder scenes, the animation is relatively simple and minimal in scenes.
That said, Venture Bros. has come a long way with animation.
