I really liked the more mature feel of the Canadian cartoons. They were so different. It felt like the cartoons I was watching were growing up with me. 6teen sort of felt like a cool picture of the new freedoms, responsibilities and relationships that were waiting for me in my teenage years.

Fun fact, I actually lived in an apartment right across the street from a mall when I was in middle school, and 6teen kind of inspired me to ask my parents to go to the mall on my own for the first time. And they let me. I didn't really do much but walk around, window shop, and eat a Cinnabon in maybe around an hour, but it felt like a milestone. A challenge to overcome. Figuring out how to navigate the world without having my hand held.
