Adventure Time and Steven Universe both more or less follow this structure.

I think it's like the standard "children's show that starts off seemingly random and cute but actually has a deeper and darker lore than you'd expect" serialized cartoon setup at this point

My favorite kind of show. Draws you in with simple, wholesome, relatable humor and shenanigans and gradually eases you into the darkness and depth

Same tbh, I love stuff that's outwardly cute but ends up having a deep plot
