Aaron McGruder didn’t “get” Moi Animation in the sense of acquiring it; he worked with the South Korean studio to animate The Boondocks , and Moi Animation helped bring the series to life, especially from season 2 onward. The collaboration is also tied to the show’s anime-inspired look, which matched McGruder’s own love of anime and manga.

What happened

  • McGruder created The Boondocks as a comic strip first, then it was adapted into an animated series.
  • Moi Animation was one of the South Korean studios involved in animating the show.
  • Reports and commentary on the series say the studio helped shape the show’s polished, anime-influenced style.

Why Moi Animation fit

McGruder had openly cited anime as an influence on the project, so working with a studio experienced in that visual style made sense. That partnership helped The Boondocks stand out from many other American cartoons visually.

TL;DR

He didn’t buy Moi Animation; he partnered with the studio to animate The Boondocks , and that collaboration helped deliver the show’s signature anime- like look.
