BoJack Horseman es una serie de animación para televisión que gira en torno a la vida de un caballo antropomórfico. Una de las razones principales del prestigio y de las críticas positivas de la serie es la representación precisa de la depresión, de las enfermedades mentales y de los traumas. La animación constituye un medio idóneo para encontrar ejemplos de metáforas estéticamente creativas de las emociones, ya que permite mostrar metáforas conceptuales que el lenguaje no puede articular. El objetivo del estudio es analizar las manifestaciones visuales de las metáforas conceptuales de la depresión en BoJack Horseman. Además, se argumenta que algunas de ellas pueden considerarse humorísticas, de modo que los espectadores comprenden los sentimientos de los personajes, pero al mismo tiempo se distancian del sufrimiento.
