Locos dieciséis

There's a lot of vulgar humor in this series, and it hasn't aged well in 2021, but if you can overlook this, 6Teen is a genuinely heartfelt, well-animated and clever series with a good story arc and plenty of character development. There are some well-placed pop culture references, a perfect balance of comedy and drama, funny reoccurring support characters, and it's distinctly, unabashedly Canadian, which is nice to see. The sitcom-like plot, a gang of 6 teens at the local shopping mall, is simple and basic but still manages to work something new into the story. If you go into it viewing it as a period piece of y2k Canadiania, it works really well as an effective, nostalgic series, so much that there are times where it's easy to forget that it's a cartoon originally targeted towards kids.
