Do you still watch animations?

As a man in my 20s, I still watch animations from time to time. Not the animations for adults like Attack on Titan or South Park, but for kids, or do you call it cartoon? However, in here, old people tent to think all animations are for kids. I still remember there was this time I was caught by my granpa watching Jojo when he visited me at my house. He was surprised that I'm still watching cartoon at this age. Eh, better than dumb TikTok shorts, which they watch all day long. Anyway, my favorite cartoon is Avatar: The Last Airbend. Even though it's not popular here, I'm glad I found this one on Netflix. I watched it again and again. I even got improved my English by doing that. I think it helps that cartoon using simple, elementary words and sentences. But don't get me wrong, I watch dramas as well. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I present you — Avatar: The Last Airbender the live-action version released in 2024 by Netflix! Kek, big fan.

Corrections

Do you still watch animationed shows?

“Animations” is not natural in American English - you have to pair it with a noun like “cartoons” or “T.V. shows.”

Feedback

I don’t have much to add to the corrections already made. But I wanted to say that as a man in my 40s I still watch 小猪佩奇 to practice Chinese!

structural change

Eh, better than scrolling on dumb TikTok shortvideos, which they watch all day long.

they = ur grandpa?
or they = other people?

Anyway, my favorite cartoon is "Avatar: The Last Airbend.er"

Even though it's not popular here, I'm glad I found this one on Netflix.

u live in taiwan? netflix is blocked in mainland china

I watched it again and again.

I even got improved my English by doing thacontinuously watching it.

I think it helps that the cartoon is using simple, elementary words and sentences.

u can watch native level content if u learn like 20-28 words a day, but obv this isnt for everyone

But don't get me wrong, I watch dramas as well.

Thank you for the explaining. I have one more question: if I say 'better than scrolling on dumb TikTok shortvideos', should I say 'which old people do all the time' or '...watch all the time'? And I live in mainland China.

No, as far as I know, it's not. Yes, I use a vpn, but it's for ytb and google.

Do you still watch animations?

As a man in my 20s, I still watch animations from time to time.

Not the animations for adults like Attack on Titan or South Park, but for kids, or (do you call ithem cartoon?s?)

“Animations” is plural, so “them” instead of “it”.
To answer your question, I actually needed to do a little research, but cartoons and animations differ in their appearance and occasionally their message, more so than their audience. Before doing any research though, I thought of cartoons as being the ones that are more intended for kids (and I think that is still true to an extent, because they are typically simpler in style and more for entertainment than for a really deep and meaningful message)

However, in here, old people tentd to think all animations are for kids.

I still remember there was this time I was caught by my grandpa watching JojJo when he visited me at my house.

He was surprised that I'm still watching cartoons at this age.

Cartoons in general (rather than one specific cartoon), so it’s plural.

Eh, better than dumb TikTok shorts, which theypeople watch all day long.

Shorts is used more with YouTube, and reels with platforms like Instagram and Facebook
You need to specify who “they” is, because the last person you referred to who it could possibly refer to is your grandpa, but that’s only a singular person (so it would be “he”)

Anyway, my favorite cartoon is Avatar: The Last Airbender”.

Even though it's not popular here, I'm glad I found this one on Netflix.

It might be better to specify what you mean by “here” - do you mean on LangCorrect, or in your country?

Talking about “Netflix” later in the sentence made me think of LangCorrect initially because they’re more similar in that they’re both kind of platforms. However that doesn’t really make the most sense because with that meaning, the two clauses don’t feel particularly connected, so I’m assuming you meant your country, for which you could say “even though it’s not popular where I live”.

I watched it again and again.

I even got improved my English by doing that.

“Got improved” would mean that the thing before it was improved (you in this case because of “I”)
Alternatively you could also say “My English was even improved by doing that”.

You could also change “by doing that” to “in doing so”, but this is optional.

I think it helps that cartoons usinge simple, elementary words and sentences.

If you wanted to say “using”, you’d have to use “are” as well (so “cartoons are using”), but that doesn’t sound right in this case.

But don't get me wrong, I watch dramas as well.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you — the live action “Avatar: The Last Airbender the live-action version released in 2024 by Netflix!

You could also say “I present you with”

My other changes were more for clarity.

KekLol, big fan.

Personally, I see lol more often (but “kek” could still be ok - I think it depends more on who you’re talking to)

Feedback

Good job!
From a language learning perspective, I’d say that for a beginner it’s definitely good to watch cartoons, but as you get more proficient in the language, it’s good to consider that the language might differ from what you would hear in real life because it’s more simplified.
But even just in general, sometimes it’s nice to watch cartoons because they’re so much more lighthearted (and they can be fun to watch because of the nostalgia if it’s something you watched while growing up)

Thank you for your corrections. Those explanations really helped. And yes, by 'here' I mean my country; by 'they' I mean old people like my grandpa.

Glad they helped! In that case, you can specify “old people” instead of just people in general like I suggested in my correction (or to avoid stereotypes, you could say “eh, better than dumb TikToks, which he watches all day long”)
