Do Archer and South Park count?
Do you watch cartoons?
Just to see what the kids are into these days. There's something about animation in general that'll make me inclined to watch it, even if I do admit that it sucks.
Why is this not a poll?
I watch Archer. That's the only cartoon I watch regularly. I'll watch the occasional anime. Sometimes I'll wake up to the cartoon network, usually if I'm sick of waking up to ESPN. Shit like this:
is alright when you're groggy.
edit: oh right. I'm 26. Forgot to mention that.
I'm 28 and just started watching Transformers: Prime, and I believe it is the single best piece of Transformers content ever made that wasn't a comic.
G1 still looks better, but whatevs.
I'd like to watch more, but they don't really make good action shows anymore. Everything is either comedy on TV or really extreme edgy violence on streaming. There are very few shows that split the difference the way Avatar used to do.
I did an arc through Adult Swim, and am capable of doing it again. I think that approach is pretty ageless.
Also I watched Death Note on the BigMovieSite. But when I realized it was just going to do a clear the board and reset, I lost interest. I guess I was wrong about that, because it has to have seasons, but hey...

A lot of that is due to creators realizing that the people who are watching cartoons are not just kids--they're adults. More importantly, they are adults with spending power.
Netflix has quite a few shows that might fit your needs. The Dragon Prince is pretty much the go to example since its made by the creators of Avatar.
Regular Show remains one of my absolute favorite shows of...all time? Ever? It's one of the few long-ish running shows that actually grew, changed, and then ENDED in a really, really satisfying way. And it goes absolutely NUTS in its final season.
@bybeach: It is BONKERS how well Aqua Teen Hunger Force holds up.
For those who count anime as "cartoons": Not really. There's plenty on the plan-to-watch list, but the motivation isn't there. I mainly get my anime fix from video games and video editing these days.
As for traditional cartoons in a western sense: Still, no. Watched a few episodes of Rick & Morty, but fell off due to one game release or another. Re-watched the first couple of seasons of Family Guy, but the novelty of using Hulu wore off. If anything, I'd watch Teen Titans since Raven is apparently my spirit animal.
@undeadpool: You should watch Close Enough. Same creator of Regular Show. It's slightly more mature, but also feels like it could fit at home on Cartoon Network.
Yup. Currently watching the Bad Batch on Disney Plus and enjoying it. Also really loved the new Harley Queen animated series.
Check out Genndy Tartakovsky's (Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack) new show Primal. A caveman and his dinosaur pal knock heads and spill blood. Fantastic cinematic action and visuals, without any pesky talking to weigh it down.
The new Animaniacs was great, although I missed the larger cast of the old show.
Netflix's Kid Cosmic from Craig McCracken (Power Puff Girls) is a blast too. A grounded, but fun and surprising action hero team show.
Tbh new cartoons are pretty shit as compared to the old ones. The real ogs were scooby doo, courage the cowardly dog, recess, phineas and ferb, looney tunes, tom and jerry and the list goes on.
Adventure Time is my favorite show of all time, and the HBO specials they've dropped over the past year are all phenomenal. Most of my tattoos are adventure time themed actually. Batman Beyond holds up still, honestly better than BTAS IMO. I can't handle the old stuff like I wish I could, lots of the old Nicktoons stuff is still fine, but not enjoyable to sit down with on purpose as an adult.
Not regularly. When Avater & TLOK arrived on Netflix and went through them for the nostalgia and I watched through highlights of Clone Wars once it's final season dropped. I used to watch the big anime like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and fell off of those before they ended (one piece is going on forever and I bored of the formula a loong time ago) and I've never been grabbed by newer stuff. As for American "adult" comedy like Archer or Bojack Horseman I watched a few seasons and liked them although I fell off them as well so not currently watching anything.
yes, I'm still watching cartoon. Now guess what my age? So you would be shocked that My age is 27 and I'm still watching cartoon before going to work, cartoon makes my day instead of any music or Movies.
I think I still 'watched' cartoons (aimed at children) when I was 18 tbh. At that age I didn't sit down with my face glued to the screen, I mainly just had them on in the background while I did other things.
