    Right now.
    Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.
    New Avatar: Last Airbender animated series in the works.
    Knights of Guinevere, a show by Owl House showrunner Dana Terrace and crew, looks like it’s going to be fantastic.
    Lower Decks is some of the best Star Trek out there.
    We’re getting a Steven Universe spin-off based on Lars in his Space Pirate Captain Harlock era.
    And this isn’t even touching on all the great stuff in other markets.
    The second-best decade for cartoons was the one right before this one, and the third-best is the one before that, because they’re all building off of each other.

      I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on right now and I don’t think we’ll have another great decade of cartoons unfortunately.

      Adventures Time and the new Avatar show are just continuations of shows spawned in the 2000’s. I can almost guarantee that the new Avatar show will not be good. Steven Universe another existing IP. Lowe Decks is great but has been cancelled.

      Even if you counted all of these cartoons as new, fresh, and greats, they pale in comparison to that 98-2010 run with literally dozens of new and iconic shows. Kinda seems like the era of cartoons is coming to a close. With these last vestiges just milking what nostalgia there is left.
