Animation (and Comics) after 30

Rules:


Are you:

Do you feel like high school dramas and edgelord power fantasies just don't provide you with the same entertainment value they did when you were younger? Are you skeeved out by panty shots and lewd angles of girls young enough to be your daughter? Perhaps you're bored by the "will they won't they" of a bunch of kids freaking out over their first kiss. Maybe everything is starting to feel like a slurry of tired old tropes. But if despite all this you still enjoy the drawn medium, even after aging out of its key demographic, welcome!

Let's help each other find some animation/comics that are a bit more age-appropriate (or at least that don't make you go "hey, isn't this just a repackaged version of [series from 20 years ago]?"). Reviews, recommendations, requests, laments, memes all welcome.

Wasn’t expecting the X-Men arcade game to get a cameo, but I loved it. Ready for part 2 of LifeDeath, just curious as to why they split the episodes like this.

A bunch of different X-Men games were referenced:

The label on the Motendo cartridge is almost directly copied from the Super Nintendo X-Men Mutant Apocalypse box and cartridge art

The beat-em-up part of the game is X-Men The Arcade Game, complete with color-swapped Sentinel grunts.

I'm sure there were plenty of other references to other X-Men games.

The console itself is modeled on the Sega Genesis.
