"It makes sense then, that two of the most acclaimed animated television shows in recent years—BoJack Horseman and Steven Universe—both make a strong case for accountability and moral justice through their characters," says Ayoola Solarin. "While one show is aimed at adults and the other at children, both feel intrinsically linked in how they grapple with moral dilemmas through their protagonists. BoJack (Will Arnett), is a mess of a horseman. When we first meet him, he’s a well-enough-known actor in Hollywoo/b/d and also an addict, often rewarded for his bad behavior instead of chastised. At first glance, it feels odd to even begin to compare a character such as BoJack to half-human, half-alien Gem Steven Universe (Zach Callison), who starts his the series as a tender-hearted 13-year-old, eager to figure out his powers and his place in the world. What brings them together is their past."
