Ledo and Ix is an unfinished animated series about two (maybe the only two) self-aware, thinking characters living in a pixel-art game world.
The two of them go through some emotional and existential adventures, as well as funny ones. The distinction is sometimes lost entirely.
If you like video game humor and also unexpected depth of the pathos of not-quite-solipsistic existence in an arbitrary world - and can handle the fact that it just peters out in the middle of an arc in season 2 with a half-made episode - this is the canon for you.

Characters
Ledo
Ledo is a tough, high level warrior who finds even the scariest-looking random encounter monsters no trouble at all. She's laconic and a bit too ready to consume alcoholic beverages. Very genre-savvy, but frustrated at the lack of flexibility exhibited by most of the inhabitants of her world. Her only real friend is Ix.
Ix
Ix is a naturally optimistic easy-going bard type who wants the world to be better than it is. Ledo is the only person he's found who has the same sort of ability to speculate and solve problems that he has, but he keeps hoping they'll find more like themselves.
