The Best-Animated Series on Netflix

Animation impacts us more than we can think. We don’t often realize it but cartoons shaped the future of most millennials. We watched tons of cartoons when we were kids. As kids, animated characters helped us break the boundaries between science and fiction. We evolved into a mature yet childish individual who believes anything and everything has a solution. We still love the cartoons that have now evolved as well and are based on more mature subjects and some of them are strictly not for kids. These are some of the best animated series on Netflix that are loved by all be it kids or adults.
