My favorite cartoons are Hey Arnold, X Men Evolution, Justice League and Young Justice.
Never finished Young Justice, it was cancelled then it got uncancelled, dunno how it ended. Oh and Sym-bionic Titan which was also cancelled for some reason, and it was getting so good.. CN gotta love cancelling everything. I'd recommend Sym-bionic Titan if I didn't know it ends in a fucking cliffhanger, remembering it makes me want to cry.

Forever angry the Reboot license is with a deranged moid who ruins it with unrelated garbage spinoffs and won't sell it to someone who'd actually use it. The animation's aged so badly but the story is still excellent, it would just need a remaster and could be aired today otherwise untouched and have an actual end and not a cliffhanger.
No. 189444
>>189414Hm…idk, honestly. A lot of the characters end up being more complex, which is one of my favorite things about the series – Daria and Jane's friendship gets complicated in interesting ways, everyone in Daria's family gets more depth esp. Quinn and their mom, Jodie gets some really cool bits, Daria herself ends up having to face the fact that she's not actually surrounded by total idiots and she relies on the icy outcast thing to protect herself. But I'm remembering that all pretty cumulatively – it's spread out over the whole series, which is still mostly the really dry humor you might not be digging. It's not really a show you HAVE to watch in order, though – I think the first one I ever saw was the finale, lol. There is some linear development so you won't catch everything and some of these are some of the most climactic episodes in the show, so if you're not into that, ignore this. But if you're okay with skimming for the best stuff, I'd say watch these episodes to see if you dig 'em, and if you don't, it might not be for you:
>Gifted: Jodie and Daria tour a "gifted" school, end up hating it>See Jane Run: Jane gets interested in track, Daria can't deal>Daria!: musical episode, which I mostly remember for the fun format, lol>Fire! and Dye, Dye My Darling: Biggest conflict between Jane and Daria in the entire series, a guy is involved, goes right to the heart of why their friendship matters so much to Daria and also forces her to look at the fact that she is also a dumb teen>Boxing Daria: Last episode, barring the movies. Daria has a big crisis regarding her place in her family. No. 189463

Them growing apart and having normal jobs seemed so unneccesary to me. It's the same old "and then you grow up and never have fun adventures ever again, but it's ok because you're a boring adult who likes it that way!". That is a sad ending to me, as an adult. Feels like it's written by a sad adult who had to abandon their dreams and now preach to kids that that is just "reality" and they "need to grow up some day". And they're only in their early 20s! You're telling me Anne's middle age parents were perfectly capable of becoming top secret alien fighters in the span of what? a few weeks? But the girls discovering other magical worlds and powers exist did nothing to peak their curiosity and instead opt for boring lives?
I would have been more satisfied if it just ended without the plot ever being solved and them going on adventures for the rest of their lives.

I'm not really super into monster high or fandom discourse so I might just be being retarded but I kinda get the feeling that mattel/nickelodeon might have undone the extra publicity they could had gotten from making Frankie a themlet by messing up the vibe of the designs. MH fans have been complaining for years about them taking any edge out of the designs which was making it lame but they just went and made them even more cutesy bubbly farty.
The people I follow online might be just too normie for this but the only time I've seen people mention the animated reboot is people weirded out at them making lagoona pink.
I kinda get the feeling they wanted to make the show more kiddy kiddy and they thought just slapping some woke stuff in there would keep the older (teenage and young adult) fans in. It will probably be easier to tell when they release a trailer of it.

Anyone watching Tuca and Bertie S3?
I only caught the first 3 episodes so far since I'm watching them online
Slight spoilers for S3 episodes:
I kind of don't like how they regressed Tuca's character again to make her to the lol random friend that ruins situations for other characters but then everything works out in the end. I thought she would of ended up less destructive to herself this season but maybe we will see where she goes from here.
I liked the idea of the second episode where she was seeing a bunch of medical professionals and couldn't find out what was wrong with her, but it spent too much time on the bees part. Also the Kara cameo didn't really contribute anything.
The snake episode was meh, the whole snake joke was overplayed by the end. I'm curious to see if the Figgy character will reappear after the ending to this one

Was told to repost this here (from /snow/):
Major shakeups with David Zaslav stepping in as CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery. Scoob's holiday special was months away from finishing and has been cancelled. Little Ellen's latest season was completed and has been shelved and is now lost media. Final Space was not only cancelled but deplatformed and is now no longer legally available anywhere. Close Enough has been cancelled after 3 seasons. While most of the press has been focused on how live-action is being affected by the WB/Discovery merger the animation industry is likewise looking at an uncertain future, at least that under WBD's domain.
Zaslav is trying to get the finances under control (WB holds an astounding debt) and one way to do that is via tax write offs. They can use a show as a write off but in order to do that they are not allowed to profit off it in any way which means they can not release it. Evidently the tax write off is worth more than having these titles in their library. Longer term I think this bodes badly for western animation. The new CEO wants to trim up the amount of script-driven shows with the idea of having a smaller, current library of high quality heavy hitters and then lots of cheap reality entertainment. Animation is expensive and script driven and might not be popular enough to justify the expense in his eyes. They might pivot (like CN already was) towards focusing on animated content aimed at babies and toddlers ("Cartoonito").

Warner Brothers Discovery is/was a major funder of animated content via Warner Bro's Animation, Warner Animation Group, Cartoon Network, and William's Street (Adult Swim). Netflix likewise recently restructured its in-house animation studio (laying off 150 people) and Disney recently shut down Blue Sky animation studios of Ice Age fame. So who's left?

Teenagers had sitcoms because they're supposed to be able to relate to real people in real situations.
These fantasy cartoons are nice for teens as well, but the themes are too deep or too complex for children that have to either watch paw patrol at 9 or watch amphibia or Star vs the forces of evil and not give a single tiny little fuck about who wants to fuck who because it's "icky" and plain awkward.

But I'm glad that not all cartoons for kids are poor attempts at "mature" complex overarching stories. I'm kinda tired of those. If people want to make that kind of series they shouldn't make them for children. Not only does the target audience (children) not watch them as much as older people, but the age rating restricts the creators a lot.

I may be late on this one but I recently watched Inside Job and I love it. I find it as enjoyable as Rick and Morty but with conspiracies and without the show being too obnoxious. It's rare to see a female lead for an adult animated series that is also likeable and I applaud them for that. What's also rare is that the male main character is an attractive man who is sometimes sexualized and objectified. Usually it's the other way around because of how most adult animated series are male centric so it's a breath of fresh air. Anyways it's a good watch. Hoping for season 2.

The art is basic but it gets the job done and the story is currently addressing stuff that the original really should have reagarding the Horde and what they're going to do after the war without being disrespectful to the source material.
I dunno, I think it's neat. Definitely one of the better fix fic/comics I've read.

King of the Hill will be my favorite cartoon for life i just cant imagine anything surpassing it
Im currently watching South Park and have about 5 more seasons to go and ive also been rewatching Teen Titans here and there.
I want to rec Clarence to any cartoon fan i can i think the art style turns people away from it but its genuinely a very funny show with enjoyable characters and many nostalgic elements. Its very slice of lifey

Didn't know if I should post this here, in the movie thread, or in the video game thread lmao
So what do nonnies think about the new Mario movie trailer, and what do you think about the way Peach is depicted? I honestly couldn't help but kinda roll my eyes at this "strong female character" attempt, with the battle axe and the biker suit, I just hope they don't overdo it, and that she uses her parasol a lot since it's one of her main items/weapons in the games.
I also feel like the second trailer spoiled the whole movie and that they could've shown a lot less and it would've still been exciting. Maybe half of what they showed in the trailer would've been enough.

>>259756She looks more sexualized now with the skin-tight suit, what was wrong with her princess dress? anyways, its an illumination film so its going to be a generic movie for toddlers and the fat manchildren stinking up the place are going to give it an standing ovation while the ipad toddlers with ADHD play with their phones. Its really sad to see Japanese videogame companies pander to westerners, a 2D Mario movie made by any Japanese animation studio would have been amazing, but no we get a generic westerb movie by the shittiest western animation study no less.

>>259756I wish princess peach has a scene where she’s tired and frustrated about her kingdom being constantly targeted to the point where she breaks down crying. Then she builds herself back up, grabs her parasol and beats up some enemies. Wish western media had female characters actually cry while also being a “badass” it would be a nice callback to sailor moon since you know every modern animation rips it off and all. Kek

>>259756The Mario games are children's games and I never played them growing up so I have no nostalgia for the franchise. The movie is going to be a generic kids movie, which is fine. They are the target audience not adults. I don't think it's going to be very good movie but it's really not worth getting angry over. Though I will admit I thought Peach's voice sounded kinda weird… I don't know how to describe it but it doesn't fit her character design and it sounded like the voice actor didn't have much experience in voice acting(I'm too lazy to look up who her voice actor is but I assume it's a famous movie actor who hasn't done much voice work).

Forever mad this show was planned so awfully/got cancelled because her story and the mysteries surrounding the infinity train and her were the main reason I kept watching it. Glad the parts had at least some conclusive sub-stories though, think part 2 was my favorite, followed by part 3.
I just wish the creators hadn't assumed they would get 8 seasons from get go, this almost never happens and cancellations after season 3 are pretty common with cartoons.

toxic she was. Shut up this is literally the point, they're not supposed to be rolemodels, they're young people acting like retards because they're young. And of course the same people complaining about her and Chaka never said a word about any male characters being shitty. They would comment under every episode so I remembered them and it was always talking shit about the female characters.
On a different note, the show made me feel nostalgic for a time I don't remember and deepen my hatred for social media. I just know I would hate Chaka with a passion if the show was set in 2020s kek

The only thing that I know about that animation is that the creator was behind the animation Regular Show and the fact he inserted himself, his wife and daughter as the main characters?

nonnie, cartoon self-inserts come across as super annoying compared to other types especially in recent years.
No. 275400
I know a lot of anons don't like Steven Universe (totally ok), but I have to say that when the show aired and I was 15 it was… a breath of fresh air in between so many cartoons that relied on shock value and gross humour to make children laugh. I don't quite like those cartoons that show vomit, or pimples, or whatever, or any show that is nonsensical and stupid, like Uncle Grandpa, Spongebob, Clarence, etc.
That's why when Steven Universe premiered, I felt like I finally had something to watch.
I agree that the series leaves a lot to be desired, especially the plot, which becomes more retarded as the show goes on. I think I stopped following SU when they finally confirmed that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond. It was such a non-sensical decision, to make them the same character… I also didn't like how the narrative basically forced us to feel… sorry for her? I can assure you that I didn't and that I hate her a lot, lmao.
BUT I have to say the first couple of seasons are great. Steven is adorable when he is a kid, the songs and the soundtrack are gorgeous. The animation and backgrounds were also pretty cool, in my opinion: fighting scenes, dancing, explosions, interesting shots, etc.
>inb4 "you don't like spongebob, opinion discarded"

No. 275432
>>275404I like they all resemble a bunch of kids I knew when I was a kid myself. That most of the adventures they have is made up or exaggerated by their own imagination.
And I love the little things, like when Sumo breaks his leg (if I remember correctly) and his mom tells him there is icecream hidden in the freezer so his siblings won't find it, it is like that when you have siblings.. I like when Clarence shows up uninvited to the girls slumber party and they have the same fun the boys would have but Sumo and Jeff are alone and they wonder what Clarence is doing in the girls party ("probably pillow fighting and talking about boys") and at some point they start dancing like the guys in boybands kekk. Also when Sumo and Clarence think they broke the tv when they were playing fight and lie about it "tv went weird out of nowhere" and the mom just tells them "just unplug it and then turn it on again, see?" old ass tech solution. I love their teachers, resemble a lot the ones I've had, I like the adults feel like adults even when they're ridiculous and that Clarence's mom is shown doing stuff with her kid, like when she puts Clarence in karate but she is the one having fun there while Clarence thinks it's boring. Also when Clarence was obsessed with that ugly doll he carried everywhere and people tried to make him stop playing with it.
I guess people might come at me for comparing it to Hey Arnold but it feels like the new generation's Hey Arnold in which there is no bigger plot about defeating an absolute evil to achieve world peace, just a bunch of kids running around being kids, but these kids are not the same, it's not the 90s anymore. I also watched Craig of the creek which is basically same premise and I felt that while it actually has good lessons here and there, the lessons (and the references) were kinda forced where Clarence goes with harmless fun and some references could fly over your head. Hey Arnold gets some nice lessons which I believe might be what Craig of the Creek probably tried to emulate maybe? But Hey Arnold feels a lot more mature, Craig and Clarence lack that maturity and go on a more positive note without the depressing moments.
I also like that I can enjoy it with my mom and she enjoys the adult characters too, and how she always point out that Clarence is probably an autist because he behaves exactly like the autistic son of her friend she used to babysit kek
Tl;dr: harmless fun about kids and crazy adults reminds me of Hey Arnold a little bit but has its own charm. Fun for all family, makes me nostalgic. 5/5 watch it always it's on tv.
No. 275446
>>275432I can see you are invested in the show and I think that's pretty awesome. I didn't notice all those things you just described, maybe if I watched the show now I could appreciate it more. I guess I just never related to the characters as much as you did, so for me it wasn't that interesting.
Also, I never watched Hey Arnold, so that may also explain why Clarence was not my cup of tea (since I didn't grow up with that type of cartoon).
It's cute that you and your mom both enjoy the series btw.

>>294584>made me sad that this era will never returnsame. it's kind of crazy it ever existed tbh. the amount of creative freedom and
time these studios had to work on this stuff. what's interesting is now the process is obviously so streamlined and mass produced but the output
feels much less than before. because so few animations now are even worth paying attention to. the 90s was much more potent in creative output and subversive dialogue.
what's really annoying too is that I'm sure there are so many animators and writers out there right now, itching to make something unique and interesting, without trying to shove a message down anyone's throats, but none of the execs will ever pick them up. that's why south park and the simpsons are still running… they just want things that already exist and are easy to and quick to run. there is zero interest in anything new or creative. and I'm not sure how that's ever going to improve now we're in the AI era.

>>294604i think, for me, a big aspect of enjoyment comes from the animations themselves. i like to see things that are hand-drawn moving around. i know a lot of shows are under hellacious deadlines and it's really not easy to make cartoons and put them on tv in general but every time i try to watch one of the modern adult cartoons i get so bored by what i'm seeing. as you say, there is a lack of creativity. there is also a lack of fun, a lack of the love of cartoons as an inherently silly medium imo, there's often this weird cynicism in modern adult cartoons that they have to have some deeper messages or be ironic in a way, idk. this specific era of the 90s was very punk. very free, very focused on authenticity, creating whatever you wanted and i feel like that's gone. i also marvel at the fact that any of this was even broadcast on a major network.
anyway my personal faves of this era:
- aeon flux
- the brothers grunt
- the maxx
- angry cabaret
- joe normal
- the head
- daria (ironically, one of the "cleanest" ones i like as far as lines, and i feel like it set a foundation for the stiffness and sterility of modern adult cartoons which i hate as i mentioned. i love it in daria bc it was so unique at the time.)

I never got the appeal of we bare bears. It's a children's show but the main characters act like manchildren. I'm not against adult protagonists in children's cartoon and hidden adult jokes but the way the bears act is so unappealing I doubt if they hadn't been cute-looking bears then no one would had cared much about this cartoon. They also desperately wanted to get an adult fanbase since they had many "relatable" weeb jokes in it but the show never got a major adult fanbase the same way SU and KO did.

If you check their kickstarter they actually seem to have a very developed concept

Also, I think we've reached a point in discourse where even the queerio kids want to have some stories where the characters just are LGB
T without their non-straightness being their single character trait, so I'm hoping an artistic short like this wouldn't go into the cringy type of thing you're thinking of.

>>302149>I've seen some say they want Peggy's character changed for KOTH for being too toxic.It boggles (heh) my mind how many people get their britches in a wad over her. Yeah she can be egotistical at times, but she's a very entertaining character and genuinely cares about her family. Her egotism was even explained in later episodes as a result of her
growing up with an overbearing mother and not fitting in with other, more stereotypically feminine women like Minh and Nancy. I've actually talked to scrotes who love Cotton but hate her, as if Cotton wasn't a narcissistic abuser to his son and wives. Peggy actually encourages Hank to stand up to his father and generally supports Bobby and Luanne as well, even though her attempts at support fall flat sometimes.

I agree completely. I don't get moids who love Cotton's character. He's funny sure but an awful person. Peggy is delusional, has trouble understanding others' needs but but means well and hasn't psychologically damaged anyone, unlike him. It reminds me of the fanboys who hate Skyler White and simp for Walt
No. 304127
>>303701NTAYRT. I don't know how unpopular this opinion is, but I have always loved Peggy, I wouldn't want her to be changed because she's """
toxic""". However, I do have a problem with the way she's portrayed sometimes. It's just after a certain point, I started to notice that her flaws were being exaggerated to a ridiculous OTT degree, to the point that the writers seemed to want her to be annoying to the audience and to constantly punish her for her many mistakes. Sometimes the writers got way too mean with her and I hated seeing her suffering, crying, and being treated like a retarded idiot so often while her husband fixes everything she messed up. One or two times I wouldn't have minded, but it started to become too common. There was a season where the writers seemed to notice they were getting too carried away, and after a series of mean episodes they finally gave her an episode where she solves her own fuckups using her own intellect, so that basically confirmed it for me.
I always thought it was funny when she acted a bit selfish or overconfident for a quick joke and when her flaws are not blown out of proportion but, maybe it's just me, or because I binge watched the series instead of taking my time with it, but I realized the writing isn't always consistent - there are multiple retcons later on in the series so I take some backstory details with a grain of salt - and her character did change over time, though not always in a good way. Same with other characters. This becomes especially glaring when, at the same time, Hank started to become more and more flawless.
>>303827>I don't get moids who love Cotton's character.>It reminds me of the fanboys who hate Skyler White and simp for WaltThat's because they're misogynistic moids for the most part, they're unable to see male characters that are supposed to be bad people as bad.
I always hated Cotton with a passion, so much so that I have been thinking of posting him in the characters you hate thread, kek. He is funny and gave us plenty of funny moments, yeah, but he was a massive piece of shit, I guess it's one of those "love to hate" characters. I read somewhere that
he would die but since I was still watching one of the early seasons I got impatient and every time he appeared I kept thinking "when is this fucker going to die?" I can't believe it took him like 10 seasons to finally kick the bucket. That scene where
Peggy talks to him before he dies was so based, I love her so much.

But I gotta say watching it as an adult, I adored the show even if the art style is not great but if anything, it helps it stand out even more and it helps the show has some pretty good humor in it.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the show continued and they had Brandon, Melissa, an Jason as college students.

>>302067Reminds me of newer transformers stuff, especially the comics. I enjoyed them a lot but the seething never fucking stopped because dudebro fans cannot get over any sort of writing that is more nuanced than black vs white PEW PEW.
Also, they got mindbroken by some gay male characters and make text walls up to this day where they explain why robots that feel emotions, thirst and cry can somehow not feel love and can therefore not be gay even though the ages old first series already contained canon romances but they were hetero, so it doesn't count as love to them(?) (maybe that's how these people view marriages lmao).
I wasn't sure whether I should watch this new Superman since I love the style but am not a Superman fan. But now I will watch it for sure, thanks to all the seething. I am sure I will enjoy it. It always baffles me that these people don't move on. They are obviously too old for this or unwilling to engage with it anymore. They should rewatch the old shit they are into then instead of seething until they're getting strokes.

>>302067OK I watched a couple of episodes of this (wasn't paying full attention though) and I don't know how common this is in western animation, but the dialogue, pacing, even the voice acting in most cases sounded so tryhard and… tumblr-y? I don't know how to describe it but both the dialogue, humor, romance and especially the artwork (I never watched Voltron) remind me of a mix between western and Korean webtoons, which made me cringe. But sometimes there are good moments, and I really like Lois's character, her personality is cute. Obviously Clark is hot, but the half-toonboom animation and art style that looks like an imitation of Korean anime are a bit off-putting. And the fact that these two got their crush at first sight moment so fast made me roll my eyes. Everything seems to happen so fast. But hey, the action wasn't that bad.
If this is what Voltron was like, thank fuck I never watched it. I didn't pay a lot of attention because I realized from the beginning that this show makes me cringe a lot. Despite that, I will keep watching this way, because I don't actually hate it.

These managers believe that you could just open yet another streaming service when most people already pay for five of them, upload two good series and get millions of subscribers within the first weeks and if not it's getting cancelled. I think people need to realise that there are too many streaming platforms, one of them costs like 12 EUR/dollars a month.

To be honest I mainly wanted the series to finish properly because I am into Amelia Hughes and the whole lore involving her. The central mystery was intriguing and you simply do not get awesome, badass but also broken older women like her in cartoons or anime otherwise. if you are very lucky you might get a male character like this and even that is rare, but women never.
It's a fucking shame that the creators were so careless to believe that they would surely get 8 seasons greenlit, something that barely even happens with mainstream shows. You should always assume that the next season will be the last one. In that sense s4 was especially enraging, since it was so damn useless. If they had wrapped up the main plot it might have had a bigger impact, maybe making more people watch it and allowing more season. Stuff like s4 would have worked as spin-off and sequel too. The important shit should come first.
Sorry for that long rant lol, I am just sad about this wasted potential.

I couldn’t make it past ep 4. maybe I had too high expectations because I liked the artwork/animation, and the concept of a gnc female samurai sold me. it has a lot of the ingredients I would typically like, but it was so poorly executed
>created by a white man and his wasian wife before I even looked it up it was so obvious that this show was created primarily by white people and perhaps a self-hating wasian with a surface level understanding of japanese culture. it’s pure self-fulfilling western fantasy fueled by white guilt and orientalism
>gnc female mc is NOT actually a lesbian disappointing

Finished picrel today. It brought back so much memories, and I finally knew what episode the specific scene of someone making mashed potatoes and dropping it on the floor, then scoped it back to the pot, and Lor -the blonde girl- saw him and decided not to eat the mashed potatoes, and her family of 19 or something ended up all sick and she took care of them all. It was a Christmas special where she recalled the incident, I finally know!
The overall show is good, it's hilarious and fun, and I enjoyed Tino's -the blond boy- parents divorce and mom's remarriage possibility plot. Lor is my favorite character because she's so braindead and a good gnc/tomboy character. Carvar or whatever his name is -the black boy- and Tish -the redhead girl- are the worst of the cast and very annoying, but they did have their moments as well. Tish's mom is so cool lmao.

Wow. I went my whole life not seeing Season 3 and expected so much of it and it just, didn't really do anything. Like, they enter high school, there is some minor drama with Darren being on the football team, his relationship with Ginger, and then it just ends like that. Courtney and Miranda are practically written out of the show, other than Courtney getting bullied a few times and then the grand finale of her becoming poor. By the way last anon, it's implied she moves into the Foutley's old house. She doesn't die in poverty. But still. They really could have done more with her character. It seemed like the creators wanted her to get her comeuppance but she really wasn't as bad a bully as Miranda, just a histrionic diva, so why even go this route?
Other than that, Macie has zero character development which sucks. They try to force Carl to change but the show doesn't last long enough after that to really convince the viewer. Polly and Noelle vanished too, why? I know they had to cancel this show due to poor ratings so the creators probably had more in mind than just wrapping it up so abruptly, but I really wish we got more than this.
I can't believe Rugrats All Grown Up lasted longer than ATBG.

>>408013Honestly, Westaboos make some pretty nice stuff, so Pixiv isn't a bad option (although you can't sort by popularity unless you're a paid member.) You can take a look at Tumblr and Twitter and just follow the handful of people you find who make art that is actually good and not just retarded BIPOC LGBTEJKU headcanons. Keep in mind that Twitter and Instagram's search functions are kind of shitty. Avoid Pinterest, because everything there is stolen and nothing is sourced. Boorus are better, because at least there's a source for the art most of the time, though that source is pretty much always going to be Tumblr, Pixiv, Instagram, or Twitter. Regardless of where you go, you'll have to wade through some cringe, but once you find some good artists to fill up your feed, you're good.

Curious what other nonnies think of Scavengers Reign. I really like the premise and all the creature/planet ecosystem art but God the humans are so icky to look at that I'm put off. It's very comic book lite style that reminds me of like Infinity Train.

>>407474Yeah that type of humor was super common at the time, especially the shows that aired on Adult Swim. It seemed way less obnoxious when you were catching it in the middle of the night between episodes of Robot Chicken and Squidbillies. I think the creators matured a lot as they continued to work on it, but it's supposed to be an edgy adult parody of those old Johnny Quest adventure cartoons and spy media as well as capeshit, so that type of humor is kind of its whole deal.

I can't believe how shit the writing for the first act of S2 Arcane is compared to the original. What the fuck happened? Why is Jinx having a shitty internal monologue while reused scenes from S1 flash on the screen with a sad blue filter slapped on them? And they fucking repeat that the next scene, just reusing S1 scenes but with a sepia filter and sad music playing.
Again, what the fuck?
This feels like it's been written by an entirely different team of people.
The dialogues feel so out of place like they're from a different show.

>>431091High animation costs make the most sense out of all this—it is a pretty shocking number overall, but breaking it down that way does add up.
Imagine Dragons is a core part of League of Legends branding and have been for several years, although it’s usually just licensing out pre-existing songs, but I guess none of that necessitates them making their deals any cheaper just because they’re being hired so consistently.
Skimping on the writing is how these high budget high rating shows completely fall apart, sadly. The Witcher’s core writing problems spiraled out of control, and everyone knows what happened when writers rushed Game of Thrones.
No. 436616
>>430958late, but $250M for the whole series is very reasonable imo, a single 90-ish minute animated film can often cost over $150M, not including marketing (some studios Keep their films below $100M, but Disney/Pixar, for example, generally don't). Granted, a lot of those films dump their budget on celebrity voice actors, but still. There are a lot of people to pay when it comes to animation, and much more pre-production and production work than live-action, and Arcane's entire look is one that requires a lot of fussing around (even though they do know how to cut some smart corners eg using projection mapping instead of 100% modelling environments all the time).
As for the writing specifically, while I obviously don't know shit about the behind-the-scenes, the S2 screenplays were likely already drafted at least by the time S1 started airing since it was said that S2 was in production at the time, and most of the writers also worked on S1. Throwing more money at the writers likely wouldn't have changed much if anything.
I'm not saying anyone has to love the show or whatever, just tired of people thinking this stuff should cost pennies when there's a crew of people working multiple years on one project, or thinking that writing for animation has the same flexibility as writing for live-action can.

>>189358Finally finished Young Justice, it took me 2 years to finish this
>Season 1Strongest reintroduction to a post Final Crisis inspired DC Universe. And also really great with explaining the messy lore world through the eyes of teenagers. Really great at standing out beyond TT2k3's shadow. Great animation and great overarching intrigue. I love Roy Harper, a great foil to the main cast without being a straight villain.
>Season 2Back when I was in middle school watching this live, the timeskip felt like a big gamechanger. The characters were in different chapters of their lives, the superhero game had changed, and the stakes were higher. Episode 6 & 8 are still my favorite episodes of the entire series. This imo is the peak of the entire series, even though the last 3 episodes feel rushed.
>Season 3Sadly the timeskip would become overused
Beginning of the end. 1st 4 episodes are the best this season because it feels like 1 season with a complete beginning, middle, and end. And then it's revealed that this is all a 2nd timeskip. And characters start appearing as if they've always been there. And then many season 1 characters are in completely new settings that it's too jarring. This feels like season 8, not a revival season 3. Also, horribly paced season. A lot of episodes of characters standing and talking ad nauseum. The animation quality has dropped and the color palette is so different that it feels wrong, especially with flashbacks to S1-S2. People whine about le wokey propoganda, when in reality that's the least of their problems. It was like the creative team knew they were getting a TV-14 rating and decided to make the most milktoast teen/young adult novel in animation form.
I don't even know the non season 1 characters enough to care
>Season 4A setup that should've been how S3 was done. 4 part episode storylines focusing on different characters. But this season takes one step forwards and 10 steps back by adding EVEN MORE CHARACTERS PER STORYLINE and ANOTHER TIMESKIP. Which makes story arcs messier, even more talking and standing scenes, and multiple animation sequences are halted by stagnant drawings being zoomed in. Again, it's hard to care for anyone who isn't a season 1 mainstay. So many of these 4-parters barely matter, as the main push is Superboy in this season and how he affects the bigger plot. Can't even treat the 4-parters like a standalone story ala JLU because it has those annoying stingers that hook you back to the main plot. Also, any character you loved from season 2, be prepared for all but 3 of them to have less than 10 minutes of screentime across the entire season. This is a Season 1 cast + a few season 3 + loads of new characters season
When 2-3 years ago I heard YJ was cancelled again, I was bummed out, but after spending 2-3 years trying to finish the series. Where it took 1 month to go through 1-2, and an actual 2 years to go through 3-4 cuz it was like pulling teeth. Good riddance man. These writers got too cocky with the comeback seasons that they decided to do everything wrong with superhero comics in 2 seasons

Just watched both seasons of Arcane. And 2 is such a downgrade. It's like they didn't continue the plot from the first season, they just trew it away. Characters too stoped make sense. Jinx and Vi sidelined in their own show and don't do anything, Caitlyn acts like a shizo but not in the fun way, Warwick is lame, Viktor is lame, i know about AU Ekko more than about the real Ekko. Piltover and Zaun uniting against the common enemy was hilariously bad. The way they removed barricades lmao. Ekko saving Jinx from killing herself, so she can kill herself later but in the way that's usefull to other people. I can't even.. They had only 9 episodes and it felt like they were waisting time.

So I just finished picrel, omw to watch the web exclusives for extra content. And I'm so upset over the ending. I got AoT'ed again. The ending is a cliffhanger, the writers were trying too many ideas at once that it all crumbled down and went to waste. The beginning with the brainwashing teenagers using music and soda sort of made sense, they're trying to create the perfect soldiers or something like that to rule the world. Or that's what I thought. Then it lost all meaning and stopped being a thing, and they moved to the pyramid thing and all that magical stuff, and the reveal about clones and Lee Ping's brother (or original who was cloned?). But why? How do all these plot lines tie in together? Who tf was Lynch? What was he after with framing Lee for the prank, the green apple splat, working with the amazing Finnwich, his peanut addiction (which is a thing some clones seem prone to, so was he a clone of someone, too? but they always point out how he's an old man with tons of plastic surgery to look young?) How did the tatzleworms connect into it all? Was Lee half tatzleworm half human all along? Because that's the impression I was under. He has red hair, his brother has a blue hair streak and wears this necklace shaped after a red and blue tatzleworm in a yin-yang pattern, so I always thought one is half blue tatzleworm, the other is half red one, and it will be important later on when it comes to the pyramid shenanigans. Then the evil green lizard people were introduced last minute quite literally and that went nowhere either. How does the school teenagers being brainwashed ties into that? Or Lee not being brainwashable? So many questions, so little answers. Ofcourse it got canceled because of low ratings in the US, as usual. The mystery and nonsensical-ity of it all is driving me insane. Now I'll be sitting here for days theorizing.

>>451196I finally finished season 2 and honestly, I thought it was milquetoast. Don't get me wrong, the art style was gorgeous and I knew I was going to love it because it's heavily inspired by Ayame Kojima's art andthe fight scenes were definitely a treat to the eyes as well, I especially loved seeing Maria kicking ass with her creatures. But the story itself and characters? Still left a lot to be desired as I found myself not really caring about the characters outside of Maria and Terra and even then, I feel like they should've done more with them. And sad to say but Annette being blackwashed still left a bad taste in my mouth because it really did come off as pandering (and I'm black lol). If Annette was a new character made for the show, I wouldn't have minded her as much but as is, I just have a bad taste in m mouth and can't help but feel her handling is pandering and was a true case of DEI.
But overall, I just feel like there needed to be more episodes so we could get to know the characters more to care about them and that is what both seasons of this show have failed on, at least imo.

>>462358ntayrt but for me I hated what they did to Isaac because I liked the character they wrote but it wasn't Isaac (or Hector!). He was super interesting and cool but out of place. There was loads of things to explore with OG Isaac and Hector already. CV games are "here's a fun damsel in distress exploration game, but also, here's some backstory about the characters and mysteries that you'll never get to explore". Julia was Isaac's sister, how did they get estranged? Did Lisa and Alucard know about the devil forgers? Tbh I could say the same about all of the characters, the whole show. I couldn't finish it and I am ignoring Nocturne because it feels like it's written by a bunch of people who have no love for the games it's based on and who feel they know better. Who the fuck are all these new vampire characters? Random Japanese vampire hunters showing up in Romania and molesting Alucard? The fuck? Can we focus on the actual Dracula and his actual castle a little more? And the dialogue and setup, holy shit, it's like half scrote "you don't know the pain and suffering of my life, the angst of being a man" and half "down with the patriarchy! Religion sucks except if you're a witch!" I could feel my face do weird expressions while watching KEK I was so fucking confused. I wanted Castlevania corniness, not internet corniness.
Sorry for the sperg nonas, this just brought back my initial disappointment when the first show came out. I was so excited for it, and then, yeah.

When the show ended the only aspect worthwhile discussing is Korra and Asami opening up the way for future lesbian or bi women in cartoons.
Kyoshi's book was alright but I just wish Bryke calmed down over and stopped huffing their farts.
>>462419If you're talking about Warren Ellis that man resents the game and was going out of his way to spite Andi Shankar who's a huge Alucard and Hector fanboy. Ellis went out of his way to humiliate these characters.
I'm not watching Nocturne but from what I understand the team basically has to deal with the aftermath of Ellis, who's a gigantic edgelord.
Please don't jump on me nonnies but how accurate is the screeching on the Castlevania subreddit? A lot of them complain about Ellis bastardising the themes and making it very anti-religion and "Dracula is actually a good guy #ExpectationsSubverted! but it seems like, if they're right, the original theme wouldn't have resonated as much as the Netflix show did.

I finish watching Pantheon and I find it interesting how that last arc made me reverse my thoughts on the "is Uploaded Intelligence really people?" question to a firm no when i was on board with the idea since season 1 humanized David really well. But as much as that was the best way to end what they'd set up, i consider that was The Bad End for sure.
Its either ironic or very fitting that a future where humanity has fled into machines led to no real advancements to stop physical mortality.
Also fuck Mist. She got Caspian killed 3 times.

>>465525It doesn't feel genuine. It just feels like the author wanted to come off as self aware and intelligent and tried to deconstruct a genre that popular, because how dare people just like girls going on magical adventures and beating villians thats so cringe!
No. 465530
>>465525Not my thing but it seems okay lookwise. A bit too quippy and totes self aware, the cursing seems unnecessary tbh. It makes the show feel immature and tryhardy rather than the opposite. Also dropping Sailor Moon immediately is a bit much.
Not sure if this is an autistic nitpick, but I dont know how to feel about the first villian fought in the show just being a just being a guy in a suit. Usually first guys have a bit of a funkier design, right? Both villians just don't seem memorable which is bad when villians are pretty important.

>>462295AYRT and I agree, Black Annette should've had her own show. I can't deny that her design is solid and the artwork depicting Egypt and the other African characters looked really good and totally could've been formulated into it's own show like Blood of Zeus. And I also agree that the Voodoo mythology while interesting, just doesn't fit Castlevania that is rooted in the gothic and European, that's literally why "Castle" is in its name lol. That's why the first Castlevania series felt more stylistically consistent as it knew what it was and played it up and this show should've gone even more ham with the gothic style. But yeha, all of the elements they tried cramming into the show just gave so much tonal whiplash and like you mentioned, nothing got enough time to shine.
I still feel like the show should've had at least 12 episodes because as is, I still found myself not caring so much about the characters because we didn't get enough time to bond with them. Maria and Terra were the only ones kinda got it but it still left a lot to be desired. And of course Richter was shafted for black Annette which is just sad since the series should have him at the forefront.
>>462343I don't blame you anon, the blackwashing of the show was at it's highest in this season with the forced in voodoo and Egyptian mythology and like other anon mentioned, it really should've been it's own new show that happens to take place in Africa because the scenery design was gorgeous, it just doesn't fit Castlevania.
>>462366Right that's fair, I'm not against having black characters in the show whatsoever, we did exist in Europe after all but just please make them original characters, not blackwashes please. I mean Eduoard was a new character and he was fine though uncompelling since he was killed off rather quickly. Point is, black characters can have a place in Castlevania but make them fit the Castlevania name.
>>462400I understand where you're coming from anon. I haven't played all the Castlevania games yet but thinking back on Nocturne, once you get past the beautiful Ayame Kojima inspired art style, it really doesn't feel like Castlevania and if it's true that the writers behind it didn't care about the games, it really does show.
>Isaac Yeah I didn't mind Isaac but I also didn't play through Curse of Darkness neither. I played the game back in the 2000s but I enver got far in it because I got lost (really need to replay it) and I feel like if I had played it prior and was more aware of Isaac's history, I would feel the same way. As is, the black Isaac should've been archived for a different show (Black Anette's own original show)
>>462406>Pink-haired girlDrolta kek You're not wrong, she looked VERY out of place from the pink hair combined with the modern-looking BDSM outfit, she looked like she belonged in a different series.

No. 471725
>>469555I just can't with the music kek. Why couldn't they just feature music that is more akin to what the games were known for, it gives such a tonal clash to what the Devil May Cry brand is about and it certainly was remixed nu-metal.
That aside I get what you mean, Dante feels a little off personality-wise because while he was cocky in DMC3, it wasn't too over the top.
>>469611I'm kind of mixed on his design tbh. I think it looks kind of nice though I feel like they should've got the artist who worked on Castlevania Netflix to do the show, I think that Dante would translate beautifully into the Kojima-esq aesthetic. But I also see what you mean that his design looks pretty bland when compared to his game designs, heck even the concept art for the games. Like if you were to rank his design, it'd be above the DMC reboot "Donte" design but behind the others.
>his voiceAgree with this as well, his voice sounds too high and they should've gotten someone with a slightly gruffer voice, they should've went with someone like Steve Blum.

Nonnas, what are your thought's on Bridge Kids? For me, it's one of the few indie animations series I genuinely enjoy, it really feels like something that would air on Adult Swim. I like how ugly the art style is, because a lot of modern cartoons have ugly art styles to for woke points, while this has an ugly style to properly portray the fact that the characters are a bunch of high school boys, it fits in my opinion.
I also usually hate this type of conversational dialog but I enjoy it here as well for some reason? I'm not sure why.
Also I hope they keep using Isaiah in these, his character concept is fucking hilarious. He's such a pathetic loser that he goes right back around to being likable and slightly pitiable. Also Marc Anthony is adorable and I love him.>>476450>WTF is this shit?PEAK

This one is a nice change of pace because it's very clearly not pandering to the trends of indie animation (retarded toddler tier "horror" for example). I find it oddly relatable, each character reminds me of someone I knew in high school kek. The dialogue might be the reason for that, it reminds me of Home Movies despite some of the voices being exaggerated. I look forward to more episodes in the future

Demons as an immigration metaphor was dumb. Outside of the small amount Lady sees they're shown to be evil af. I didn't hate the music choices outside of the Limp Bizkit OP. Lucia in the first episode was interesting since DMC2 seems to be universally condemned. Also I'm pretty sure Enzo is supposed to be a reference to the character of the same name from Bayonetta.

>>479486I haven't watched it but saw spoilers online, you're right that the lore/setting in the games is fairly straight forward even when not everything is explained but from what I understand the cartoon still somehow fucked it up and that's why a lot of fans dislike the cartoon.
It's something about how in the game Sparda rejecting his nature as a demon and siding with humans for centuries, eventually marrying a woman and becoming a father before his death or disappearance was very unique to him but in the cartoon there are lots of poor misunderstood demons with their demon families just trying to mind their own business and survive among humans, which makes Sparda some random guy and not one of the most powerful demons to ever exist who betrayed his own species for a higher purpose. I also see everyone hating how Lady became ooc a lot more than the other characters. Her father is also a very different guy, he's not a Sparda obsessed psychopath who killed his wife for the sake of becoming more powerful, he just wanted to protected his family now. That's just what I saw online and I'm not even going to hate watch it.

>>479187I recently went back to DMC3 just to remember how great Lady was before I dove into the Netflix show and it all came back about how much I loved Lady in her debut. And then I decided to watch a cutscene movie of DMC5 (still haven't played it though) and was mortified of the disrespect Lady and Trish got in it but that's for another discussion.
After finally finishing the Netflix show a few hours ago, yep they totally massacred Lady and I defy anyone who thinks that what they did to her in it is better than her portrayal in DMC3. It's a shame too because I was so down to see Lady be a protagonist again and possibly get some more character development from it. But no, instead of the tough, determined, and compassionate young woman trying to avenge her mother's death, we get an edgy foul-mouthed, generic military woman who is pretty much a wannabe Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost In the Shell. Just awful.

>>478399Finally finished it a few hours ago (I know, late to the party lol) and my feelings more or less are the same as yours. Dante himself was okay, i didn't mind his portrayal and it felt true to the character, at least his DMC3 era anyway. And the action scenes were okay but tbh, it's a given that shows like this will have good action.
But oh man Lady, they totally fucked her up and as a Lady fan, that was so hard to watch. The only good part with her was seeing her childhood because I did try to visualize that as what her childhood may have been like for her game counterpart minus the change of her father's backstory. But aside from that, her dialogue was awful and I don't understand why they felt the need to do that to her. Her DMC3 counterpart, the true Lady, managed to be tough and took no nonsense from anyone without cussing up a storm.
I also agree about how the political tone of the show was just stupid and was the biggest reason why the show just didn't feel like "Devil May Cry" even though they did do decent work with Dante's portrayal. Devil May Cry was not about politics, that was the crappy DmC reboot's vibe.
>The White RabbitI will admit that he did have some appeal
and his backstory was actually pretty okay. I'll admit that his child self befriending the demons was begrudgingly adorable kek. Again, I don't fuck with the political crap in a Devil May Cry show but I can concede that if this was it's own thing, I wouldn't mind as much.Honestly I'd give the show a 5/10, a smidgen better than Castlevania Nocturne but both shows have things that kill the tones horribly with Devil May Cry and the US Government politics and Castlevania Nocturne with the shoved in African & Egyptian stuff.
>>478489>Dante’s DT looks awful too.Agreed lol At first I thought it looked alright but as I kept looking, I started to see how lackluster it really is all things considered. I think they made it look too cartoony.
>>478646>I didn't hate the music choices outside of the Limp Bizkit OP.Eugh, I wish I could agree with you but I found most of the music choices cringe except for the song that played when
Dante is fighting Cavaliere and the ending theme of the show which I will admit doesn't sound too bad for a cover lol.
>>478665I'll admit, this was a cute moment and I did feel some bit of 2000s nostalgia but that's because I used to play DDR quite a lot at the mall being a teenager in the 2000s lol
>>478664NTAYT but I don't think they were references to anything specific from the games. Honestly their designs looked like references to 80s action heroes lol.
>>479645Considering that most of those on TikTokers are gen z who weren't around back in the day when the original trilogy DMC games were out and how the atmosphere was during tha time and all they have to go off of are pictures on pinterest and whatnot, yeah I'm not surprised they would think this show is amazing and for that, not worth taking seriously.

>>480033I did like Dante's portrayal in the show but I do see what you mean with them trying to make him like Deadpool and I am getting tired of that aspect of millennial writing trying to make all their male protagonists like him. I say this as a millennial, it's boring now. I let it slide for Dante because he was kind of like that in DMC3 but as a whole, I've been over that shtick for years.
>>480027Agreed. It really says a lot when the 2007 anime felt more truer to the tone and vibe of the games. This 2025 adaptation could've been an even better one, especially if it was coming from a big fan but no, we got this butchered, by the number Netflix animation slop that fails to do anything meaningful with the property.

>>485182I'm sorry but I don't like the new art style at all and to be honest, I was already not digging the infantilization of their designs in IIRC, started with season 6 & the origin movie when they made the girls' eyes bigger to look more "cute" and really saturated the color palette of the show to make it pop more. I admit I'm bias because I loved the original series so much (I'm an oldfag in my 30s lol) and one thing I liked about the original show was how they made the girls look like teenagers and the less saturated color of the first 3 seasons hitting a nice middle ground.
As far as the reboot goes, they continue with the overly cutesy-fying of the girls which I just can't get behind and it's even worse if they're supposed to be in their early 20s now if Jerry is retired in it.

To be honest though there was a lot of dumb crap that I didn't like the show pulling in the later half of the series like with the whole "spy gene" BS. Personally I liked it more when it was suspended disbelief that the girls were just trained excelling in their individual strengths without the "chosen one" angle of it all even though I understand why they did it as to make them specialized.
Fair point about their lack of secret identities when they bare their faces out. I think it mostly worked in the beginning because they were mostly away from home a lot of the time to where no one wouldn't really notice them lol.

No. 488076
>>484651It's slick and stylish and technically well made but it just didn't grab my interest, I'm not the right audience for it. Visually I think it needed a little more breathing room, sometimes it felt like it was animated and edited too quickly or the frame-rate was distracting but they had to fit a lot into the pilot so it's not really a big deal. I think the MC's design falls into this weird area where it's like the creators couldn't decide whether to make her attractive or not. I think they did initially want her to be attractive but they wouldn't commit to that ideal so the end result is poorer for it. Maybe nonnnies won't agree with me on this but I'm gonna stand by it.
I think Gaslight is very imaginative, but compared to Murder Drones or TADC I think Gaslight is presenting audiences with something that might be harder to connect with. It's possible the pilot just wasn't very good at introducing people to it's setting or characters. I felt like there was a lot going on, like the crew is really stunting to show off their skills and their lore and worldbuilding. I think the general public is stupid, shallow and impatient and that work's against Glitch's new show. While the show is stylish the setting itself isn't beautiful and most of the characters are ugly and they aren't very likable or charming either so it's going to have a hard time attracting fanartists, shipperfags, waifufags and husbandohags. I personally didn't connect to the story or characters but maybe other people will, I dunno.

But if by "neutral stance" youre more referring to the writer's views, I always felt KotH never really had anything to do with the writer's beliefs and was more about showing how an old-fashioned Texan would react to the modern(at the time) world. Though, KotH was never as focused on topical events as other adult cartoons like South Park or Family Guy, so I wouldn't be too surprised if they just decide to avoid that route altogether.

>>496854Yeah, I meant the show itself, not Hank. As in, the show's writers weren't trying to push anything onto you, things are just presented naturally, except for the running joke of making fun of some states for their snobby or hipstery attitudes but that's clearly just a joke, as the writers themselves would often be from places that are made fun of in the show.
>My prediction is that we'll get an episode that explores Hank having to deal with the explosion of radical politics and being accused of being either a liberal or MAGA since, by today's standards, Hank is basically considered a centrist rather than a conservative.I hope so, because I've seen way too many people pointlessly argue about this online. It's like the more stereotypically American you are, the stupider your interpretation of KotH is. Anyway yeah, the point of KotH is to find humor in the mundane, but I feel like they will have to touch on certain topics at some point, which may be too controversial in this day and age, especially since American culture is so polarized right now, which if why I was talking about the difficulty of being funny while "neutral".

watched season 4 of love,death and robots recently and i wanted to review and rate them (story and animation alike) this will have spoilers so dont read if you are planning to watch the series
>episode 1 "the how do you do fellow kids"
animation:2/10 story: kek what story?
literally a shitty mv for hot red chili peppers
>episode 2 close encounters of the mini kind
animation:5/10 story:4/10
it was mid but i had fun with the campiness of the story but it isnt as nice as the previous entry from this company the ending is shite and the humor too juvenile and the animation technique to make the 3d models look like miniature figures is cute too although i hate the "haha zoophile!" bit
>episode 3
skipped because i fucking game unreal game cutscenes sorry not sorry
>episode 4 400 boys
animation:10/10 story 9/10
arguably the best episode in this season i love robert valleys work so i might be biased here (motorcity my beloved come back pls) his last entry zima blue was absolutely stunning and so is this episode the story has great pacing aswell watch this one i dont want to spoil this at all.
>episode 5 The Other Large Thing
animation :8/10 story:7/10
another episode ill recommend you watching for yourself may the reign of dingleberry be eternal
>episode 6 golgotha
animation: 3/10 story:2/10
the plotline is very predictable i thought it wouldve been a twist ending with the space priest calling out the human priest out for being a pedophile or something but it has a subtle dig to the Vatican too because >muh dolphin jesus says le human bad kind of ironic since dolphins rape dead fishes for fun
the cgi is very shit in this they didnt even try composting in the clearly tentacle monster i get what they were going with (it looks odd so it looks like it doesnt belong) but the 3d work is amateurish
>episode 7: The Sperging of the Trannyosaur
animation:6/10 story: "average league of legends mv"
animation was nice but it still lacked dynamic angles and the composition felt stiff i feel like they couldve made it more interesting and hype but it felt like seeing a game cutscene you cant skip
>episode 8" how zeke got religion"
animation :10/10 story :10/10
another great episode has heavy vibes of the hellboy comics although a bit Christian centric and making a black man "convert" to it is kind of weird imo the artstyle of gigi is great in this and you can tell they hired some nice animators for this go watch it for the animation alone.
>episode 9 "Smart Appliances, Stupid Owners"
animation :4/10 story :1/10
cheap bootleg copy of aardmans studios "creature comforts" with no charm or class. has moid frat house humor >haha stupid femmoid has sex with showerheads and vibrators while moids be stinky!!
that kind of humour literal shite
episode 10 "for he can creep"
animation 8/10 story:8/10
another good one wont spoil the story because i genuinely liked this one the animation angles feel a bit lacking again (the animation style reminds me of the telltale games) in this one i wish they used more dynamic framing but the voicework was excellent in this one

Moids crying over Peggy looking older is so odd, but I like her new design. I think it's nice to see female characters actually age properly, and it suits her. I'm cautiously excited for the new King of the Hill, although I'm a little disappointed so far in the direction we've seen for Bobby. I guess exploring the boomerang generation phenomena was unavoidable, though. Dale's new VA doesn't quite hit the landing yet, either, but he isn't the worse and I appreciate they chose another actor thats been with the show from the start.

>>502878I liked it, it reminds me a lot of Billy and Mandy. I think for the full series they are getting rid of the CN stuff which I'm not sure if that's for better or worse. It's still nice to see a non-US developed cartoon on CN.
I also liked how many Jojo refs they squeezed into the bodybuilding episode but I'm simple like that. It's better than generic anime ref shit.

When it comes to talking about recent Netflix animated shows with your friends and/or family, if you didn't enjoy the shows, do you tend to keep it to yourself? I was hanging out with my brother recently and he mentioned how he had just watched the Devil May Cry show and asked what I thought about it. I was straight up honest and told him that I didn't really enjoy it at all and when he asked me why, I mainly alluded to how the show just didn't feel like "Devil May Cry". He said he didn't understand what I meant and I know that he hasn't really played the games save for the 3rd game and doesn't really know how the atmosphere of the main franchise really is. Anyway, while he did agree that Lady was definitely out of character and annoying, he thought the show was fine but when I said that if they really didn't want to follow the source material, then they should've jsut made it an entirely new IP so it could just be it's own thing and he disagreed saying that I just need to go into these shows with an "open mind" and I just had to agree to disagree with him saying that I'm just "too negative".
This reminded me of another time he said this to me which was when Castlevania Nocturne came out. Again, I didn't enjoy the show because of the shoved in Egypian & African stuff, the dialogue script writing, that Erzebat was a bland boring villain, and how I just didn't care about the characters because they felt rushed in their writing and it just wasn't satisfying to me. I remember my brother saying that I was being negative and should just "learn to like things". Keep in mind, he has never played a Castlevania game and that I actually did enjoy the first Castlevania show.
I understand that it's fine to have differing opinions on media but what really annoys me is when you say that you don't like a show, give out the reasons why and are met with "you're just being negative" or "you hate everything". The Devil May Cry example definitely got to me a little because I still stand by the belief that it should've just been it's own thing unrelated to the Devil May Cry franchise. If Adi Shankar is such a big fan of the games, why did change the atmosphere and theme of it so much to the point that it doesn't feel like Devil May Cry? It just comes off as a bad fanfiction? It reminds me of the DMC reboot only the developers of that game were upfront about not liking the original series. also, I'm just getting tired of these fucking reboots. Why does everything need to get a reboot? Why can't these people just make original shows and let old beloved franchises keep their dignity and legacy intact?
Anyway sorry for the vent, this had been on my mind for awhile. Are people like my brother the definition of a sheep? Just mindlessly consume anything that is new and just accept it? Because I just can't get down with that mindset at all because that is what fuels the (Netflix) hack machine to continue pumping out garbage slop like this crap and I think that we deserve better than that, especially when it comes to video game adaptations. It's already bad enough that with most shows these days, we only get 8-10 episodes and unless the show has really good writing, they will be of poor quality because it doesn't give us enough time to truly soak in the characters and their world and having cool action scenes will only take your show so far.

>>516296Ayrt and I agree. I mean, I don't read all that much tbh but when it comes to TV, I've watched a ton of shows and played lots of games (I'm an oldfag and so is my brother kek) but my brother was never really into shows that require you to think too much. Like with anime, he's that standard guy who consumes shonen and doesn't understand why I don't find it all that appealing anymore (it's formulaic, same story different setting, predictable, etc) But he's especially like this with Netflix shows. And I agree, it's one thing if you still like something that has objectively terrible writing in a way like one enjoys junk food but opinions like what my brother has are just well, stupid. Like, enjoy your show but don't talk down to people who have reasons on why in their opinion, the show is shit from a writing standpoint (and if you don't have experience with the IP).

I rewatched some episodes of Tron Uprising and I was reminded again that whoever worked on this show put in so much effort on the directing and composition of all the important shots for a television show budget. And on top of that the music was good too. It felt like watching a more ambitious version of Batman Beyond, which was an enjoyable show in its own right with a great sense for atmosphere with its setting. There's other past series that had good directing of course, but rarely do both the visuals and music fit together so well for western animated tv like this

Did anybody else love this show? I really appreciate how it had a main female character who was allowed to be gross, tomboyish, loud, and weird. I really loved seeing a girl character who actually acted like me kek.

>>520473I liked to catch it on the TV, but I don't remember sitting down and watching it actively because I think something else I liked more tended to be at the same time slot as mighty B on another channel.
Or it ran during the time I stopped watching TV altogether because I destroyed my brother's TV and stopped wanting to watch the TV because I got grounded without TV for two months, so I stopped having the habit of playing videogames with some noise on the background.
