Animation+

Animation+ doesn't bother with kids' stuff, this is strictly adult animation, and it leans into the absurd, the profane, and the deliberately ugly. The daytime block cycles through forgotten early-2000s cult series, giving the channel a scrappy, low-budget feel that fans of fringe animation will appreciate. Evening blocks roll out newer commissioned shorts, though the hit rate is inconsistent: one gem, three duds. What saves it is the curation's audacity, they'll air a surreal 12-minute short about a depressed hot dog followed by a raunchy sitcom parody. Commercial breaks are mercifully short, but the same promos loop often. The Animation+ live stream feels like a fever dream, best consumed late at night with low expectations. This is comedy TV United States style, unpolished and unapologetic. For anyone tired of network animation's slick formula, Animation+ offers something rougher, stranger, and far funnier when it lands.
