I'm waiting for the day Hulu or Netflix puts up Recess. I'd love to binge it in order and get some nice nostalgia. That's number one on my binge dream list but it'd also be awesome to see Weekenders or Totally Spies again too. I know could find them online but I'd love to see them through again with ease on my TV.

In terms of TV animation my favorite are
Cartoon Network: PPG, EENE, Flapjack, Regular Show, and Clarence.
Adult Swim: Superjail, Moral Orel, 12 oz Mouse.
Nick: Invader Zim
Disney: Wander Over Yonder
Fox: King of the Hill, Simpsons, BTAS.

>What are you watching right now?

Last two cartoons I watched are actually Cartoon/Live action hybrids. I watched Coonskin, which was fantastic I love Bakshi and it was a pretty funny Blaxsplotation film. I also watched The Wall, which was okay, but I think the better way to experience the music is through the album, the movie is missing tracks and has Final Cut stuff thrown into it.

Next thing I plan to watch is either Heavy Metal or Allegro no Troppo. I'm in the mood for more musical themed animated movies, Wall didn't have quite as much animation as I was expecting. I mean what it did have was great, but I want the whole thing to be animated. I've anyone has any movies similar that fit the bill please recommend them. I've seen Fantasia/Make Mine Music/ect all the Disney ones.

Currently I'm hyped for 'I lost my body' the concept looks cool, but I'm not so sure about the animation company. They've mostly done no name kids shows (shurkin school,zig and sharko, Floopaloo). the company is also trying out 3-D animation for the film, most of there work looks adobe flash-y.

Ehh I'm one of the people who doesn't like it. Besides the intentionally unlikable main character I just didn't find it engaging seemed to have lots of low-brow comedy. Personally as someone who struggles with depression I thought the main character was unrealistic and behaved more like a caricature of what someone has been told people behave like. Hearing it praised as a serious adult cartoon that tackles tough issues is frustrating.
I only watched through half of the first season though before I dropped it so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I've been told it gets better in later seasons but I haven't really wanted to continue.

Pergatony is good passable for a tv show you can watch online for free. The side characters are pretty funny, though the shows interpretation of death feels like a rip off of family guys version. The worst part of the show though is the main character. He's the embodiment of an incel (refuses to fix his problems and he hates his co-workers not because they're evil, but out of jealousy). The show would be a lot better is he never existed

Honestly, I think a lot of kid's shows that are made now are also made with adults in mind because the creator is usually thinking of what they would like to watch/have watched as a kid. Of course, "kid's shows" in this context meaning those with a target audience of like 12-17 or something. Personally, I like all of the ones you mentioned plus Regular Show, Clarence, Over the Garden Wall, We Bare Bears, and The Amazing World of Gumball. I kind of prefer the cartoons that exist now over the ones I grew up with.

My only gripe i've ever had with it as a kid was just how disgusting it could be especially during later seasons. Im talking stomach churning. But it will always have a special place in my dead heart. Season 3 and onward it just got funnier and funnier which usually the opposite happens. It was also funny watching it as an adult and relating to grim and realizing just how shitty billy and especially mandy treated him for no reason lmfao!!

I tried rewatching it as an adult but honestly the first 3 seasons were perfect to me but the later seasons i feel like became increasingly more childish which was a shame because they were in college by that time.

I only watched it for Buttwitch since her character appeals to my simple brain in every way, otherwise I'll admit I most likely wouldn't have picked it up. It kind of has a discount AT vibe (which was discounted Flapjack anyway, which was just discounted SpangeBeeb) which is okay if you're easily entertained.
I'm hoping if there is a second season they'll further explore the humans getting stuck on Endless/other islands and the backstories of some of the islanders if any are ex-humans.

I was scared of the movie being shit at first because of the switched art styles (characters edges seemed to be smoothed out and the color palette for backgrounds was a bit off) and the fact I thought it would be a direct adoption of the comic (which I hated), but I came out decently surprised. The character interactions are still great and though Im not The biggest fan of zims humor I found it funny. The biggest flaw of the movie though imo, was its biggest strength (not much of a spoiler, but general plot structure) In the end it just felt like a really long invader zim episode. Nothing about the characters changed, nothing was resolved, and at the end of the movie everything just resets like its preparing for a new episode to start. If you're looking for a satisfying conclusion, stuff like zim finally winning/losing or Dib proving to his dad aliens are real, you might not like the movie Also the tallest ship is still really obvious CGI and the tallest felt kind of shoehorned in the movie to me

I know it's not really popular here, but did anyone catch the Steven Universe movie finale?
I didn't think it was too bad. It just lent a better closure than the series finale did. I started watching this show when I was in grad school, and back then it was just a wholesome break from stress.

I thought it was great. There was way too many songs though and only like 3 of them were good. I had a laugh at the fans trying to act like the crewniverse was the one responsible for the Other Friends animation that's actually fluid and good. Turns out, the Japanese animator who helped out in the series before came back for the movie so it was most likely him since it matches his style.

I knew it. Isn’t it Yoh Yoshinari? I’m a big fan of his and I can spot his smoke/flame effects a mile away but I wasn’t sure about that part because Spinel is so 30’s rubberhose. There’s something about the way that segment was animated, if it wasn’t his work then they definitely got another specialist in because none of the usual team animate like that. Feels like they actual animated along key frames for once. I don’t think it’s the man who animated White Diamond and Steven dance fusing his two halves back together.

i was never an Invader Zim fan before but I decided to watch Enter the Florpus on Netflix and I was blown away (currently watching the series). i absolutely loved it! the animation was fantastic, the color palettes were very cool, the jokes made me laugh and it was overall fairly written and everything felt like it was resolved properly. it felt like watching a very long episode.

i'm currently binging IZ for the first time ever. i do wish i'd been one of those longtime fans who enjoyed the movie as a second coming, but anything's good i guess.

Considering the voice talent, I think Steg’s scene was just one huge dose of author appeal. I get what they were going for in that sequence where Pearl gets her memories back, with the groovy sexy rock music and acid trip visuals, but that was executed pretty poorly. If I were a kid I’d be like "wtf is this where the fun" and lol no one can deny what it looks like: two lumpy fat dudes merge into a rockstar bara who’s ‘so cool’ he makes the lesbian starry eyed and shakes her whole world back together. He looks like he smells like sweat and hotdog water and they should have used that screentime for something else.

This is supposed to be a movie and yet there’s like three times where gems fuse and the silhouette is horribly tweened, not to mention Spinel’s gem turning upside down. Come on, if you care enough to want a Japanese animator to do your fight scenes couldn’t you pay consistent quality to those few frames which are the focus of the screen? This wouldn’t happen at all in a better production.

It’s actually not obnoxiously tumblry but it’s a mediocre show at best, why suffer through it for the ‘good parts’ when you can watch a show of consistently higher quality? Imo most of it is filler and the pacing to get to the plot important parts is frustrating, plus they can never decide how serious they’re being and how much of the comedy is straight slap stick or self aware. No villain is ever really a threat, they all get talked out of being bad because ‘they’re just sad and hurting!’ and the show even acknowledges this as a "joke" but still does it anyway. Imagine a show that wants to poke fun at the power of love and friendship but they also want to do it completely straight? I’m salty 3 out of 4 Diamonds have ugly sausage lips when they would look more appropriately goddess like with some mature lipstick.

Nepotism on western cartoons is insane right now, i am personally very tired of how it is always the same little group of creators blowing each other horns or how it turns out they are all dating or longtime friends or related. All the teams are inbred, their affiliations and shilling are blatant. I wish there was more variety and openness towards more diversity of talent, styles and ideas but a lot of the sjw bigotry that keeps new influences out comes from within the industry, fueled by those same creators that got too influential and turned these companies into shut tight cocoons. I used to like Rebecca Sugar, by now i am so sick of her, i wish she were replaced, her stuff gets cringier and cringier.

The cal arts meme is a bit misguided because not all of them went to cal arts and the idiosincratic style is not really a thing from the school but from a social clique that is employed right now, but it is still kinda valid as an umbrella term for all this seemingly samey cartoons made by pretty much the same branches of people.

Tbh I always got that vibe from them. In the commentary they've done on Invader Zim episodes, they do come off a bit strange.
I can't necessarily blame them though since I've heard of them having very strange experiences with nutty Invader Zim fans. Like, one of them talked about how when he was signing an autograph for a fan and the fan then proceeded to bite his hand. Hell, even Jhonen used to get sexually harassed at panels because his fans are fucking nuts.

I regularly check in with Natasha Allegri’s insta cause I like seeing any Bee and Puppycat updates (cause it’s the only place for any indication the damn show is still being made) - and I felt a bit miffed with this. The trailer was released over a year ago, saying it was vaguely returning in 2019. I wouldn’t even mind the pushbacks if she kept her fans informed of the process without regular prompting (which she usually ignores anyway) You would think after the previous Kickstarter and VRV backlash there would be more care put into these things, but nah. Bee and Puupycat is cute, but it’s kinda beyond me how it’s managed to keep a dedicated fan base all these years of waiting and frustration.

I avoid watching it because they changed the character designs and the visual style in general.

Clone High aired on MTV if iirc so it's aimed at older teens. It's one of the best western cartoons imo, the humor poking fun at popular teen angst shows of the time (like Dawson's Creek)

What's everyone's opinions of Steven Universe Future?

As someone who really enjoyed the original series, I think it sucks. It's fun to see the new gems and revisit old gems (though my jaspy deserved a whole redemption arch, not an damn half episode) but the main problem is how Steven is now (and even how he was in the movie).

He comes off more as a jerk than he does an angsty teen. And what was the point of showing the abuse Pink Diamond went through, and Steven himself even experiencing, if we're going back to Pink being the cruelest, worst character on the show? If anyone can sympathise with her it should be Steven, but now they've just walked back all of that progress with her character in a single episode (meeting Pink Pearl.)

Imo SU Future was a mistake.

I hate the art, but beyond that I don't think it's that bad. I wish people would just ignore it instead of giving it negative attention.

I dislike what the show represents more than the show itself. Hell, I dislike what the original Thundercats represented, too. Obviously selling toys is an important part of animated shows, but that doesn't mean they should be such transparent toy commercials.

I feel like stuff like this underestimates kids' intelligence. Stuff doesn't have to be stupid and ugly in order for kids to enjoy it and buy toys of it. As much as I loathe MLP:FiM's adult fanbase, it's a really good example of a show caring more about being interesting than selling toys (despite to that being its purpose.) Same goes for the new DuckTales. You can tell the people working on these shows really wanted to make something enriching and clever for kids to watch. I don't sense the same amount of dedication when it comes to all the reboots on Cartoon Network.

The autistic hatred for TTG in particular has gotten out of hand. I think the writing of the show has improved, and I think the inclusion of other DC characters was an interesting choice. Frankly I'm just glad this only happened to Teen Titans and not something I actually care about, like Young Avengers. Thank Christ I don't live in the "Young Avengers Go" timeline.

It may sound like if I'm overreacting, but this is by far the worst adult cartoon I have ever seen.

It looks ugly as hell, it's not funny or clever, the characters are annoying, it has "Oh so clever, Pepe Trump lol!" Level of jokes.

I can't even tell if the people behind it had any sort of respect or love towards the anime they reference so much, it's the same feeling I have when CN shows have anime references, they just show either the Akira bike slide or an Evangelion poster but they present it like if it's the most amazing joke ever. Not a work of appretiation for the referenced thing but rather to say ~Hello fellow weebs~ because that worked on Steven Universe.

This is just a Panty and Stoking ripoff minus the fun, unique style or anything that made that show actually good and instead there's only bottom of the barrel woke-ness that just 2-3 twitter-fags will give a crap about in a few months.

The presentation, the hehe so random funny corporate attorney. If 6teen’s humor and overall pace was mixed with a mahou shoujo Totally Spies and Mission Hill’s young adult woes but none of it was funny and it looked worse than something posted on newgrounds, this would be it.

Going off my own post so I don't have to respond to all the points already made. But the thing that got to me the most was just how much it reeks of "I watched Sailor moon maybe 4 times when I was a kid and know everything about it!" The jokes entirely fell flat, like writers we get it the tomboy is a lesbian she doesn't need to scissor the air every five seconds. Why is the black one dressed like it's her first day at kindergarten. If you're going to make fun of Kill la Kill after you ripped off their transformation outfits try and not make the same meta jokes about the designs the anime did so much better? But the worse for me is just how braindead the writers are. The lesbian's transformation wand is her bong, they fight a weed monster. So conclusion is she smokes it right? No they dismember the monster and clog up the garbage disposer for some lame you can't ask for rent until you fix it joke on their landlady.

I'm so glad to hear this is finally coming out, feels like I've been waiting ages.

I adored both Book of Kells and Song of the Sea from Cartoon Saloon so I can't imagine this won't be amazing. Their animation is stunningly gorgeous and the stories are charming and well paced. I love wolves and the fact this has two female leads who get to protect one another and be wild… so excited!

Am I the only one who feels the hatred toward this is overblown? It's just shorts for late-night TV right? And no disrespect to Syfy but as far as animation, it's no Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, right.

The jokes are kind of dated and the animation looks low-budget, but I don't think this is some kind of crime upon humanity. First episodes of comedies usually suck anyways, who knows, maybe it'll find better footing later on.

it's decent. The animation is top notch and the backgrounds are great. My main complaint is that if you're expecting serious moments, don't. It's a goofy cute show with a couple serious moments but they don't last long, and it is VERY fast paced. I'd recommend it though since its very easy to binge. The characters are sweet and likeable too, overall fun show.

Well it's created by the real brains behind ATLA Aaron Ehaz so there's good lore building and the episodes flow into one another. Relationships are put together well family relations before romantic and there is some LGBT representation with a lesbian/gay couple, but it's not thrown in your face screaming how gay they are the way other western cartoons will. It's like Sailor Moon just they are same sex and in love not the point of their inclusion to the story. The main villain's VA is Koh the Face Stealer so his voice is just top tier shit.

I watched through the first season, seen some clips of the second. I actually like the slower moments with Fang and Spear as opposed to the fast action and gore. You gotta suspend your disbelief for a lot of the action (I mean, it's a story about cavemen and dinosaurs living in the same timeline) Sometimes the fight scenes happen so fast it feels like the dinos/monsters are made of clay. Also season two seems to be taking a supernatural direction, maybe that explains all then weird creatures inhabiting the same world together?

It's lacking the dry humor that Castlevania had. Protagonist is boring, should have been a cooler character if they're gonna make up a new character that isn't actually from any Greek myth. Heron is an incredibly plain character which is the main factor for me. I wish they went for some kinda wizard or a female protag to spice it up. Muscular male greek hero is a tired trope.

I remember that fart scene and yes it was absolutely unnecessary and felt fetishy. Didn't land well with me because it was passed as "haha childish joke" while it clearly dwelled in fart fetish territory, kek. The jokes in TDP are pretty hit or miss in general

Speaking of fetishy I recommend Wakfu, it's my fav western anime after ATLA. I don't know if the humour translates well in english though. I find the the sexualization (men as well as women) to be endearing in a weird way?

I ended up binge watching this last night and I absolutely loved it. Holy shit the rugged, brutal combat, the wordless character development, the eerie evil spirit cult shenanigans. I loved how they ramped things up from basic survival to crazier and crazier scenarios and enemies. Also really hype for the 2nd season where Fang and Spear will clearly be extending outside of their known world. Everything was visually stunning too, it was like a pulp comic come to life. Damn.

I actually chuckled at some of the live action jokes fore some reason. Looking back I would have preferred a full R-rated movie just dedicated to Micheal, his wife, and the hotel scammer instead of a movie were they split attention between them and jerry.

I hate how adult animation in the west doesn't utilize being for adults in the same way anime does. It annoys me to no end because anime is such a low fuckin bar and I've seen western cartoons for kids that I've enjoyed more than anime. Sadly it's made for kids so censorship takes hold. You'd think that by now adult animation in the west would have taken the opportunity to change and break out of the "Everything has to be comedy" and "Everything has to be an animated sitcom" tropes with the emerging love for Animation among adults here in the west. Nope. Instead we keep getting the same stale shit an I'm sick of gratuitous violence played as a joke to show the network "See? This isn't for kids". Why can't we just have violence when the scene calls for it. I love Bojack horseman but even that show hid behind a veil of "funny haha animal people" before it picked up story wise.

Technically this isn't western but idk where else to post this, but I'm kinda salty at Emara.

The show was defenitely not a masterpiece and it was beyond cheesy at times but I found it a nice short series to watch with my brain on off mode, but it's been almost 3 years and there's no updates anywhere. They actually announced a season two but they haven't updated in years.

The real thing that makes me salty is that the creator of the show made a tweet bragging about how she made the whole show just out of spite for one of her teachers (apparently her twitter was suspended a few days ago tho, she has a very sassy type of personality maybe she got in trouble for that). If she really just made it out of spite I get the feeling she didn't actually 100% feel it and won't pick it up again.

More of the good - excellent animation. More of the bad - too much over the top gore all the damn time, and too many characters sounding the same and ruining dramatic scenes with "edgy" american swearing.

To continue, now that they're going to adapt more of the Castlevania games it's such a relief that Ellis is gone. For many reasons. If you read the stories from somanyofus.com there is a theme of him wanting to manipulate mentally ill young women with pale skin, red/brown hair and a goth look. He also appears to be turned on by suicidal women and a woman whose boyfriend comitted suicide. This makes watching Netflix CV even more disturbing in hindsight. Lenore looks like that, and the manipulation of Hector is a mirror to what Ellis has been doing doing. Lenore then commits suicide, and so does the other female villain Carmilla. HMM

Bit late to the party, but I finished S4 and I'm so freaking happy that Isaac survived! I really thought they were setting him up to be the big bad by resurrecting Dracula, but I'm overjoyed he had a change of heart and basically decided to become Demon Dad. He deserves some peace after all he's been through. Actually got more happy endings than I expected overall, which was great. Although I miss Carmilla. The action scenes were amazing yet again, and I'm dense since there was foreshadowing, but I was so caught up in things that I didn't realize they were going to make Death the main antagonist. That was cool. I agree there was a weird amount of swearing in serious scenes, to the point it was distracting when I just wanted to appreciate what was happening. I like the gore though. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's been consistent from the start and it's just a mood. Extreme gore can feel cathartic and it puts me in the mind of stuff like Mortal Kombat and just having an action-y, exciting time.

>>141874
I don't know why some people take issue with this scene, it's not out of character for Sypha. And I don't see it as degrading to her. She has a single moment of feeling overwhelmed and like she's losing herself. Yes, it's an overreaction, but she works past it and is back to business the rest of the show. I actually think it's nice when characters aren't portrayed as perfect and infallible all the time. Lord knows Trevor makes an ass out of himself regularly, why can't she have a moment?

I didn't know about all the abuse surrounding Ellis, shit. Can any scrote manage to not abuse, assault or harass women? Any of them? Christ. Here's to hoping he never gets work again and that they bring the show back with someone far better.

Honestly as someone who played the games and a major fan of castlevania series way before the show even existed Im not impressed at all. The 1st season is really all I cared about but it went down hill after. >>141843 is right and I completely agree with you. I also hate Alucard's ending because he's supposed to go take his 300 year long nap and putting him with greta seemed so forced. I hate how they made him out to be some pathetic little bitch who needs an annoying character like greta to fuck some sense into him and dont even get me started on the " It was my idea" scene. Everything was utterly juvenile and honestly was a huge flop and disgrace that tarnished the castlevania name and shouldve been given to an actual japanese studio to make instead. Not to mention the castlevania subreddit is now filled with dumb discussion about the show and shouldve had its own subreddit so that it didnt over shadow the more interesting threads about the video games. I will never forgive Netflix for this atrocity.

I understand disliking the cheesy scenes with Greta, I agree they could've been handled better, but let's face it some characters were massively improved. Sypha basically had zero personality in Castlevania 3 and when they brought her back she was a psychotic zealot who hunted down anyone with dark powers even if they weren't using them for evil. She also looked like picrel. I don't need more big titty anime girls with absurd outfits complete with flashy battle heels. They actually made Sypha into a (pretty cool and relatable) human in this series and I have zero trust that a Japanese studio wouldn't have just made her into the typical "holy maiden uwu" type or else the stoic humorless cool girl with no personality. I was happy to see Alucard get a nice resolution where he wasn't isolating yet again, his whole arc was that he struggled to reconcile his human/vampire sides and craved love since he lost his parents and anyone who got close to him. I appreciated that the show humanized the characters and actually took time to explore them rather than hyperfocusing on following the pre-existing story to a t.

I think his design is hot, but that's totally down to preference. I can appreciate you liking pretty guys! I'm conflicted about his personality, because I do want to punch him 90% of the time, but he and Sypha make great foils and if he was as straightforwardly heroic as he was in the games she'd have less opportunity to grow and shine. She really ended up coming across as the lead this season for me, even though Trevor gets the glory of the final fight.

Well obviously when recreating things for a show there will be different changes to fit the layout but missing important things like Genderbending Grant, making hector stay with lenore instead of going to find his human, also making carmilla a traitor to dracula is kinda like salt on a wound. In all honestly it shouldve been a movie more so than a series the writers seemed to struggle with creating actual good content over a string than if it was just a one a done thing. It couldve ended up like Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. And the whole "finally giving certain characters a personality" argument is invalid unless you consider sarcastic, edgy, cussing, and ill-placed sassiness good then to each their own. Isacc was the only good character and while his redesign was weird virtue signaling it only goes to show that allowing a disgusting fuck like warren ellis to make a show based on a game that he hasnt even played himself was a stupid decision. Talk about a waste of potential.

I'm not a big fan of some of the absurdist comedy or the in-your-face metaphors at times (like Bertie's boob leaving or her turning into a giant house) but the contrast between silly, likable characters and the real, heartfelt conflict is just as good (if not better at times) than Bojack.

Yeah, I'm a weird place wrt Tuca and Bertie. I'm happy it exists and I don't want to punish it for expectations I put on it on my own – like, it has never put itself out there as Bojack-y, it just shares Lisa Hanawalt. But the super wacky stuff is like…it's fine, but when I think about the shit I remember from the first season, it's all the serious moments. And those are SO good – that moment where Bertie is watching the teenage girls play happily and tells Tuca she wishes she could protect them is such a real thing, so well captured.

So I don't want to punish it for not being Bojack, but I really do think the best moments have been when it's just been really real…kinda like Bojack is. And it'd be amazing to see a show approach the kind of stuff that fucks women up as seriously as Bojack portrayed its shit.

I think what I wish is that Tuca and Bertie were more like the Diane and Princess Carolyn parts of Bojack. Like, the episode where PC is going insane with her baby daughter has strings of goofy wordplay and lots of jokes about Hollywood, but it also portrays how terrified she is of ending up like the lady who lost her career for taking a tiny maternity leave. It's still a comedy, but still…well, a dramedy, lol.

I agree somewhat with >>150291
The humor in Tuca and Bertie isn't that strong, but the emotional moments always hit. I'm sure no one wants Tuca to become a self-hating alcoholic like Bojack, they just enjoy the more human moments most, because that's what these writers excel at. We've already had really effective moments like Tuca seeing the homeless Tucan and feeling worried/lonely, and I'm sure you agree that was an effective moment. Episodes like Nighttime Friend will always outshine Bird Mechanics (although the ending of that episode was a great Chekhov's gun.) I'm worried that because the audience for Adult Swim is largely male that it won't get renewed for a third season, but fingers crossed I'm just dooming. This is the only adult cartoon aimed at female adults I know, and I really appreciate finally having something like this that's targeted at our demographic. Hopefully, it's successful so we get more like it.

I have a question regarding Castlevania's judge, because I swear people are starting to gaslight me into thinking I'm a complete degenerate.
Do we all agree that he was obviously jerking off to kiddie shoes in his secret room? I'm asking because I saw a good amount of people being confused about why I and others called him a pedo; they think judge killed children only because he hated disorder and mayhem in his town, while there's obviously a not so hidden sexual motive behind it. People don't seem to realize that during the scene when we see him exit his kiddie-shoes-dungeon all sweaty and out of breath, the thing that he wipes off of his hand is supposed to be cum, not sweat. also I love his charadesign so much.

Have any of you checked out Amphibia?

It's about this magic music box that warps three girls to a land of amphibians. I snubbed it at first because it reminded me of Big City Greens but I watched it again and it is surprisingly good. The first couple of episodes in S1 are a little meh but it picks up big time. The writing, attention to detail, the characters are pretty great. The three girls have a perfect blend of feminine and masculine traits which is kind of a treat because typically you'd have the girly-girl character and the tomboy character so I'm glad they subverted that. The plot is pretty solid and interesting and plot twists make sense and don't come out of left field to outsmart the audience cough cough Steven Universe cough cough
There was this new blue haired girl in the S3 trailer and I'm worried they'll make her nb or add some dumb kweerio zoomer pandering as that seems to be the trend nowadays

Jen is a little bit of a pickme, and I don't think the show really addressed Alex's crush on Serena as nothing but him being horny . Serena deserves better. Serena also feels like a man wrote her, she has a weird line about her 'being straight but liking boobs' and okay with looking at porn of women in public, which gives off very 'unicorn willing to have a kinky threesome with you uwu', rather than a regular goth girl that Alex was projecting as being a manic pixie dream girl.

So Centaurworld

I didn't think there's even been a series that I have had more mixed feelings on

I get what they were trying to go for, it tried to mix dark themes with cutesy cartoony visuals and it definitely felt ambitious, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Story-wise, similar to Amphibia, it made the mistake of prioritizing characters that, while entertaining, served little purpose other than support and comic relief while most of the characters that had central parts in the main conflict had little to no screentime. It makes it hard to invest in the dramatic beats in the story when little time is spent to really develop them. The general, for instance, was barely in the show before that twist with him was revealed, so it had little impact. I don't know if it's because they were short on time or poor pacing on the creator's part.

Songs were good, but other then a couple of them I don't see myself going back to hear them anytime soon
The humor was also hit-or-miss. Definitely not fond of all the fart jokes or the drag race references

I however did not expect them to actually kill Elktaur/nowhere king at the end especially after getting his backstory, I just expected them to have them fuse back together at boom instant redemption

Based I loved People Watching even though it is hipsterish, neolib shit, and navelgazy in some parts.

The fact they call it an anime and the animation studio is japanese makes me a bit afraid that they'll change the whole art style to be more weebshit

I want a world where western studios are free to make anime, Japanese studios are free to make cartoons, and nobody whines about “wElL tEcHnIcAlLy It’S FrOm XXX sO yOu HaVe To CaLl iT YYY.”

Basically I’m saying I hope it’s a cartoon and they’re just being pedants about what to call it.

I mean, it can be like panty and stocking, very westernized animation style but still an anime because it was made in Japan. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

but this is already happening. there is a lot of crossover in the animation industry it just isn't noticed.

the trailer for the Critical Role cartoon, it looks gorier than invincible.

Is this for adults? Because even with all that gore, it seems very juvenile

I like Critical Role but this seems so unbearably cringey. I suppose stripped of Matt Mercer excellent narration and ambience-building maybe it really is not that great of a source material

I caught the whole season on the adult swim premier and it gave me some laughs. May as well just watch an oneyplays video instead though, it's just those jokes given visuals. The first three episodes were a vehicle for complaining, mostly about internet people being triggered at menial things which is always lazy and boring. We get you hate twitter. Move on.

Why didn’t they stay with that 1930s animation style and do it on paper rather than CGI it? It’s ugly af in comparison to the source material.

I always have low expectations for projects involving video games. The jokes are okay. Voice actor decisions surprised me but they're not bad, but the devil's voice annoys me. Would come down to how the story plays out compared to the game, and you can't glean that from this trailer.

Hand drawn, frame by frame animation takes a lot of money and time. Did you look into how the game was animated, they made this video showing the process.

One reason you won't get much adult animation is because anime has already filled that void. An adult animated TV show would have to compete with both live-action series and anime. Nobody's willing to invest into that, if they could reap profits from making an all-ages animated show aimed at children (or manchildren) instead. Perhaps you could get an adult-aimed ONA or two from Netflix, if they are tied to a well-know property (Castlevania, The Witcher) and serve as an advertisement more than its own thing.

Not to be contentious but anime isn't all that adult/mature in terms of storytelling most of the time. Isn't it still largely seen as a kids media in japan?

NTA, if I'm not mistaken, mainstream anime that normies know/love tends to be for children or family-friendly, while everything that is for grown males is seen as otaku trash for creeps and losers, or so I've heard.
