what does "adult animation" mean in this context? Normally when I hear that it means porn but looking at those names I feel like that's wrong

More along the lines of Family Guy. Heavy Metal (the movie, not anime series), Solar Opposites, etc.

Are you being serious for real, have you never watched South Park, or Family Guy? I mean adult animation existed for many years, including in the US. I mean do you not watch Netflix's Castlevania (that's not anime, but it's not for kid I'll tell you that), or Harley Quinn at all?

This is unnecessarily condescending. "Adult animation" can mean a lot of things. In Japanese, "adult animation" is a term for R-18 works. If I was just reading the headline and was not given much context about the background of Bizaar Studios, I would assume the same too.

lmao, that was my thought too, which was why the headline caught me by surprise.
