At one time, cartoons were only for kids, however, that’s no longer the case. A quick browse through Netflix’s offerings will reveal a surprising number of animated series that are aimed squarely at the adult market. Here, we take a closer look at some of the top adult animations for you to add to your Netflix queue today!
BoJack Horseman
One of the best series on Netflix is also an animated comedy aimed at grown-ups. It’s a bizarre concept – a depressed celebrity who just happens to also be a horse is struggling with the all-too-familiar problems of addiction and fame. Bojack Horseman of the title is the horse in question, living in a world where humans and talking animals live together in harmony. Having been a sitcom star in the 90s, Bojack is now trying to resurrect his career with mixed results. His greatest rival is a dog while his girlfriend and agent is a cat, but he’s also in love with a ghostwriter who happens to be a human. Are you confused yet? We admit that the idea is a strange one, but thanks to its honest portrayal of the realities of depression, this series has proven to be a major hit.
Big Mouth
This coming-of-age animated comedy may be filthy, but it’s also surprisingly sweet. This examination of puberty is an absolute must for anyone who wants to enjoy a good laugh at some of the most traumatizing and embarrassing experiences that can happen during anyone’s life. Most of us will be familiar with at least some of the situations that the characters Andrew and Nick go through in each episode.
Disenchantment

Creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, created this animated Netflix comedy following a rebellious princess who prefers adventure to her royal obligations. It may have all the hallmarks of a Disney princess tale, but it’s definitely aimed more squarely at an older market, having the familiar feel of another Groening classic, Futurama.
Rick & Morty
The ultimate in irreverent animated humor, Rick and Morty has proven to be extremely popular over the last few years thanks to the hilarious characters and the bizarre situations in which they find themselves. An irreverent and distinctly adult Back To The Future, this comedy is a top choice among people of all ages and all over the world. If you’re struggling to watch Rick and Morty on Netflix, you’ll find more information here about how you can access your favorite TV show no matter where you live.
Castlevania
Even if you’ve never seen an anime series before, the chances are that you’ve heard about Castlevania, an anime series produced by Netflix itself. The story is gripping as Count Dracula seeks revenge for his wife’s death while the last remaining member of a monster-hunting clan goes up against him. This gothic horror offers a surprisingly romantic aspect and plenty of blood and gore as well as stunning animation.
