Animation is no longer just for kids. In recent years, there's been a surge in the popularity of adult animation, a trend that's fundamentally changed how we perceive the medium. Gone are the days when cartoons were solely associated with slapstick humor and fantastical adventures. Today's adult animation tackles complex issues, pushes boundaries, and offers a platform for storytelling that resonates with a more mature audience.
