Tito’s Picks For Best Web Animation Of 2024
by Tito W. James
As we enter a new year it’s the perfect time to celebrate the amazing animation we’ve had over the past year.
Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss
Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss showcase the power of indie animation that can reach a wide audience. The art style, humor, and queer themes are all bold and provocative. We’ll be feeling the impact of Vivienne Medrano‘s Hella-verse for years to come.
Amazing Digital Circus
The record-breaking YouTube series didn’t disappoint with it first season. Zany humor, spooky scares, and empathetic character moments make this series amazing. Also, with the show’s first-of-its-kind Netflix streaming deal, The Amazing Digital Circus could pave the way for sustainable web animation to follow.
Murder Drones
From the show’s inception, Murder Drones challenged what a cartoon could be. This was a series that had action, humor, heart, horror, world-building, and bizarre sex-appeal. Unrestrained and unapologetically for the goth teen inside all of us, Murder Drones broke new ground and raised the bar for indie animation.
Punch Punch Forever!
Punch Punch Forever! is a love letter to retro shonen anime from YouTuber speedoru. The series follows Gogo Matsumoto as she competes in a martial arts tournament that pits humans against a near-infinite barrage of demons. Even with only two episodes released, Punch Punch Forever! is one of the best web animations on the internet. This series is laugh-out-loud funny and I can’t wait to see what journey Gogo takes us on next.
