10 Best Animated TV Shows For Adults

Many cartoon lovers are wary of anime, a style that has little in common with its western cartoon counterparts apart from the fact that it's animated. But if there were ever a show to convince you otherwise, its Cowboy Bebop.

Unlike most anime Cowboy Bebop is set in a cosmic future where Spike and his cohorts travel through space hunting criminals and fugitives for their bounties. While it isn't as funny or ridiculous as many of the entries here Bebop earns its keep by being one of the coolest animated shows to grace a television screen. Spike may be one of the coolest protagonists ever, and was a star of the anti-hero trope before it became overused by network execs desperately looking for a new hit. The animation style is striking and the action smooth, all while backed by a suave jazz score that the is the heart of Bebops, laid back style. While definitely a genre show, there is a lot to like even for those who usually can't stand anime.
