I don't know about anime series, but I can really recommend Hayao Miyazaki's anime movies. They are definitely made for all ages.

Invader Zim might count?  It had an episode with organ harvesting so I think it should count.

Yes it dark well should. That level of awesome spreads across all generations.

Adventure Time!

Seriously

[IronyOwl]

Every Invader Zim episode I've seen struck me as a somewhat twisted children's cartoon, rather than a twisted adult cartoon children would also enjoy.

American Dad.

I don't care for it, but you might like South Park.

Ugly Americans is also surprisingly good, but it's only a handful of episodes and you'd probably have to find them online.


As noted, there's anime to fill just about any preferences you have. Excel Saga is more traditionally a "cartoon" in terms of being slapstick comedy, but I have no idea if it's good or not.

south park was good for the first 3 seasons, then it got alot more stupid after.

Here's an adult cartoon for you:

This gave me nightmares as a young 'un for years later. I could have easily waited to watch this kind of cartoon until I was an adult. But I'm glad I didn't. Oh, yeah, warning for a fair amount of mid 80's obsession with naturalistic toplessness.

WTF is this O_o

It's Light Years, which is a screen adaptation of Isaac Asimov's "The Metal Men Against Gandahar."

It's also French, if that helps explain anything.

All I can say is, this cartoon deals in some fairly heavy shit, to lay on an 8-year-old. Genocide, mutation, body-snatching, killer robots, sex, time travel, the meaning of consciousness.....Even now, re-watching it 20 years later, I still get that same sense of unease in the pit of my stomach. The arc for this cartoon is like: Weird --> Woah --> Seriously, Woah --> Wait, what? --> Oh fuck --> Holy fuck --> I need to go consume some entertainment that doesn't ask me to think or feel.  This movie had the same kind of visceral impact with me that my first viewing of Akira did.

Yeah. My dad had a fairly esoteric sense of the interesting. Light Years is like a Ralph Bachi cartoon, minus all the humor and light-heartedness. It reminds me of a time when someone else other than the Japanese did adult animation.

Rene Laloux kicks ass. La Planete Sauvage (aka Fantastic Planet in English) is a very strange and interesting movie. If you get it, try to get the Eureka Masters of Cinema release.

I'm seeing that linked in Youtube and my curiosity is piqued.
