    All those other newer animations simply arent level-headed enough. They are too impulsive. Not like old, predictable, dull-as-dishwater Futurama.

    But I wish Disenchantment became more popular, better advertised, and more predictable release scheduled. Because that was imho the same type of humor but with a fresh new twist. This new return of Futurama just feels like a Futurama rerun. Like nothing has changed in 10 years. Still fun though.

    They should have done more with Fry and Leela as a couple, I think could add a bit more twist to it while not scaring the more conservative viewers.

      I soooo wanted to love disenchantment. I waited patiently and I’ve watched it, a few times. It’s not good. It’s not funny it’s pretty dull and they just didn’t put that much humour into it. Real let down. I enjoy the animation and the fantasy but it’s nothing on konosuba or something similar.

        Each to their own, I find it funny, though it is just as bad as Futurama at repeating jokes.

        Im no fan of anime and manga, with a few exceptions. I haven’t seen or read Konosuba. Only seen a few fan-arts of it. Didn’t know it was comedy. Maybe I’ll try a few episodes.

          Oh absolutely. I like the fantasy of Futurama and think they are doing things that don’t require that fantasy. It could be the year now and the exact same plot could play out. I think that’s where the future has caught up to Futurama, they are actually behind the times now.

          I like konosuba as it was a fantasy world but without all the seriousness and was just a goofy. Similar to one punch man. It’s making fun of the genre. It’s easy watching and was a breathe of fresh air.

          It’s now been done to death and honestly doesn’t hit like it did 10 years ago. But it’s where I was hoping disenchantment was going but it never knew what it wanted to do and just kinda flailed about.

          I’ve researched it about twice. It’s not too bad but not as good as I think it could have been. It’s not really funny but more story driven
