In my opinion, "The Boondocks"( along with "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra") is one of the best anime-influenced cartoon, which is able to take the best elements of Japanese and American animation in order to create something different and well made. Instead of only using the most characteristic anime elements big water drops in a shallow way, this series uses the anime aesthetic in a original and different way, with very interesting and stylish results. There is huge improvement in the animation quality in the second season, but it is the surprisingly good writing what makes this series to be so great.
At first, I thought that this series was going to be only bashing of white people, but too my surprise, "The Boondocks" did a great job doing an excellent criticism of racism from both sides, and that criticism is done in a very harsh, unapologetic way, so I could understand perfectly well the fact that not everyone would like this series.
However, "The Boondocks" isn't offensive just for the sake of it (Like other cartoons that include controversial and shocking content) but the shocking elements included in this series have a very well thought satirical purpose, resulting in a high quality series that certainly deserves more appreciation and recognition.
9/10
