...I had an epiphany that perhaps it's supposed to be a play on "Lolipop." Because they're not a Pop group. They're a Rock group.

But all I could think of was the internet speak.

>>230987

Even then, it's spelled "lollipop".

I'm really waiting for more of Mike Tyson's Mystery shenanigans..

Best thing [adult swim] has done all year (that isn't Rick & Morty).

>>230988
they could have bastardized the word to sound "hip". It's super common.

>>230981
frustrating to be banned and not being able to discuss the only show I care at the moment. O well.
Lolirock is still fun so far, but they definitely don't air the episodes in order, which is annoying. gonna be annoying to get in the middle of the season and have Iris discovering her sword for the first time, while Amaru save the day by using his personal battlefield.

>french TV
>competence

sadly, you must only pick one.

>>231180
Where does the thing air anyway?

>>231183
France 3. French public TV. The same channel that aired Wakfu.

>>231228
I don't see you scanning.

>>231236

Srsly, all the issues got scanned back when the comic first came out. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

>>231239

Holy shit that page looks amazing. MUST HAVE SCANS OF THAT QUALITY.

>>231240
Those do not look like scans; too clean.

>>231247
Yeah, that's actually a digital rip.

No idea, but I found ti on here.

>>231557
Feeln. It's only 3 episodes long, but it's ok. not fantastic, but OK.

>>231648
Yeah, I've been wondering about that, too.

>>231709
>Would you recommend the series? I haven't seen it in like 10 years so I forget what the humour is like.

I never thought most of it was especially funny--not now or back then--but still found the stories and characters to be entertaining overall. (P.S. Netflix has the second half of six seasons, but doesn't have the movie or the finale special).

A reminder that this is still a thing:

>>231239
Second that, I need that comic for reference alone! Where?!

>>232462
are they proclaiming it to be better than current Adventure Time yet. Whats the not Gumball suppsed to be anyway?

>232463
>Whats the not Gumball suppsed to be anyway?

If you mean the character, I think he and his family are goats (god only knows what the green not Darwin is supposed to be). If you mean the whole thing, I believe it's a commercial for some brand of... powdered milk? Whatever it is, it's called "Miracle Star" and comes in a cylinder.

I'm genuinely surprised by this. Most foreign knock offs (including >232462) just have blatantly similar characters for putting on covers, but different plots. The majority of that video is exactly recreating scenes from Gumball with slightly different characters. I think they even traced over some of the facial expression.

>>232465
It's China, whatcha gonna do?

>>232466
I'm just baffled that it's simultaneous so lazy yet clearly had a lot of work put into it. Like someone clearly used screencaps to make the storyboard, but everything past then was animated from the ground up. Makes me think there was just one or two guys aware of the plagiarism, in which case, that must suck for everyone else involve.

Also, I just realized the main character looks kind of like a cartoon goat version of Lucas from Mother.

>>232461
>>232467
It's like looking at an alternate reality.

welp I'm cringing. Also damn that Flashlight Joke, overly long and just terrible.

I also REALLY REALLY dislike where they are going with Daphne.

>>232564

Someone REALLY didn't like where Mystery Inc went with characterization. Some fans are just as bad as those Anti Omniverse bag head folks and hate Wyatt just as much for some unknown reason.

And so we get a utterly different style and a characterization that is just sad. Feeling we're going to get lots of "High Humor" other than the subtle "heh Shaggy has the munchies"

yet another show with cocky retarded protagonist... yawn.

>>232632
If the writing holds up, the tropes of a character mean nothing.

>>232633
Not him, but the tropes of a character make the writing.

The reason the recent Pirates movies and this Puss N Boots spinoff fail is because without the main character to play off of, the "cool" character that steals the show would get stale very quickly.

>>232643

Tropes describe, not proscribe. It would definitely be possible to make a Jack Sparrow or Puss In Boots movie that doesn't suck; the writers just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Meh more episodic cartoons about annoying buffons who need to fix their own mistakes.
rinse and repeat. No thank you.

Also so many overused dragged out jokes because of cgi limitations.
Remember when rooms tried to be creative? I miss those

>>232673
This.
Its just cookier cutter bullshit.

Even the pseudo-Adult Swim Bojack Horseman did some pretty creative shit.

>>232643
>Not him, but the tropes of a character make the writing.
That is definitely a thing that non-writers and bad-writers believe, yes. Then they look at how, say, Eragon and Star Wars use pretty much exactly the same tropes and have some very difficult questions to answer regarding why the latter works and the former doesn't.

Is dreamworks going to make anything original out of this Netflix deal or is it all going to be spinoffs of their movies?

>>232676
I highly doubt DreamWorks would try something original, especially considering how conservative they are with their money.

We saw proof of that just yesterday, with them closing off an animation studio.

>>232701
>Get Mir to do some animation work
>Stuck doing Shark Tale Series

Damn that would be suffering.

Also I thought HTTYD 2 did reasonably well. Yet it wasn't a blockbuster success and that seemed to have utterly crushed them. Where did they put all the money?

>>232702
Fallout from the wage fixing thing?

>>232703
Could be, maybe they lead it too openly and that got the deal busted open and made them all look bad.

>>232707
I guess at this point they need to coast on that Netflix money.
300+ hours, at least 9 series, maybe something really fun will come out of it.

>>232767
Could if Mir is allowed to do something that shows their animation talents. Hate for them to get stuck doing CGI cleanup.

Those that I think could work best with their high energy abilities are.

Fuckin’ CN is fucking up [adult swim] pretty hard these days. They axed half of Toonami not too long ago (that takes full effect next week, I believe), and now I find out they’re basically ‘cancelling’ Metalocalypse by sitting on the greenlight for its final season.

>>232884
>They axed half of Toonami not too long ago (that takes full effect next week, I believe)
Shit. Really?
I guess that's what happens when you don't have anything to replace your biggest hit that just ended and decide to play all the movies you played the year before for your movie month.

>>232885

>Shit. Really?

Yup. 12 to 3:30 starting next week. On the bright side, Kill la Kill premieres at 12:30 and Bleach is FINALLY gone. But yeah, replaying Bebop, GITS:SAC, et al for years on end tends to kill ratings in a way that even [as] can’t ignore.

>>232885
None of the DBZ classic stuff?

DBZ Kai will continue to lead off the block.

http://toonami.tumblr.com/post/109334851853/ch-ch-ch-changes

>>232896

According to comments on YouTube, this is actually an old trailer created by Saban as a ‘feeler’ for a possible Power Rangers reboot. If they’d rebooted it that way, it could’ve shown some promise - especially as a lead-in to a full-CG series or something.

>>232898
The rubbery nature of some of those movements reminds me a lot of the current turtles.

Monty Oum died

>>232925
My respects to the guy and his family. I read all about it.
Its real rough.

I keep having to restrain myself to talk about his work's quality - but nope. Nope. No time for that. He meant a lot to a lot of people. That's the most important part.

I remember Haloid all the way back in 2007, it was the coolest shit me and my friends had ever seen back in middle school.

>>232927
C'mon, spill it!
Aside a very few on this board, most of us didn't liked RWBY.

>>232930
Regardless of what you may think of his work, he was a very talented individual. Respect for the soul who passed away way too early. Criticizing his work right now would be a stupidly selfish thing to do.

>>232938
your post illustrate why that whole event is putrid. People using the death of someone to defen their show against criticism.

>>232961
>People using the death of someone to defen their show against criticism.
A person died - the guy was young. And meant the world to so many people. The guy was an artist and he produced a lot of work from his young age. Its not about his videos or his games.

I fucking hated his stuff but fuck you and your mindset.

>>232961
I know people like you like to be outraged at things, but let me explain to you two scenarios and why they're different.

1. Conversation about RBWY. Respondent says he doesn't like the show and why.

2. Conversation about dude's death. Respondent says "RBWY sucked."

In the first thread, someone saying "You can't think that because X just died" is trying to shield the show from cricitism. In the second thread, you are attempting to hijack a thread about sympathy for the deceased to make it about your own taste in television. You are in the right in the first thread, but in the second you are being an asshole. In the first thread you are criticizing the media that is being discussed. In the second thread you are, perhaps unintentionally, minimizing the tragedy of the person's death because of the quality of his work. You are saying "Yeah, but it's not that big a loss because his work was shitty."

This is the magic of context. Saying the exact same thing in two different contexts can mean entirely different things.

>>232966
There's a place for criticism of a person's artwork, but it doesn't go on their obituary. People want to celebrate a young man's life and memory, its no time to bring up personal feelings on something so trivial in the grand scheme of things as a webshow.
Criticize to your heart's content. But know that there is a time and a place for everything: critique, discussion and silence as well.

but hey if you really wanna know, I thought his stuff was pretty shitty if mildly entertaining. hell, I've seen rwby fans say the same thing. the guy had no idea how to actually compose shots, set up sequences or use cinematography correctly unless it was ripped out from something else, but fuck it, productivity trumps talent.

Heard some of the old humor is back since the old crew is back on. Course I kinda hope that is so he can finally put this sponge to bed. Regardless what Nick likes to do. Let the Sponge rest.

>>233041
>Heard some of the old humor is back since the old crew is back on.

Stephen Hillenburg being the big one. (C.H. Greenblatt contributed to the film as well.) And yeah, there were some callbacks to gags that haven't been used in a long time.

Realistic fish head is back. Along with "My leg!" guy.

>>233039
I'm not surprised that it's decent, but I'm still too butthurt about it being CGI to watch it anytime soon. Not because of anything against the medium, but because it's so blatantly because executives still think a 2D movie can't make money.

>>233043
Only the final act is CGI. It's 2D animated for the majority of the film, with the occasional live action bits, along with stop motion.

>>233044
Really, now? Well I probably still won't see it in theaters (I barely do for anything anymore), but that's a big plus.

I can't remember the last time I was this happy that a trailer was misleading. Maybe Rango?

>>233044
Wait, really? So that was basically the most misleading trailer of all time?

>>233052
I think the Bridge to Terabithia trailer takes that cake.

>>233071
Hmm did they make the dude younger?

>>233072
He's rounder, probably because his original sharp design looked like ass in CGI

>>233017
>>233018

Why do people hate this? (Serious question, I was never that much of a Tom & Jerry fan so I wanna know what you can do wrong with that concept - well... I know what the movies did wrong tho)

>>233097

There are three major eras of the T&J theatrical shorts: Hanna-Barbera, Deitch, and Chuck Jones. It’s generally up in the air as to whether HB or Chuck gets the nod for the better shorts (it typically comes down to individual shorts rather than the body of work as a whole), but Deitch’s shorts never get brought up in the discussion—and for good reason.

Deitch actually hated T&J for the slapstick violence (not to mention the racist caricature that is the original Mammy Two-Shoes), so he basically did everything possible to separate his version of T&J from basically every other style of animated short in the US (which wasn’t hard, since he and his animation team were Czechoslovakian). Everything looked, sounded, and ‘felt’ so much different than the T&J shorts from either side of the Deitch run that I can’t think of any T&J fan, animation historian, etc. who would willingly place those shorts anywhere near the top 10, let alone the top 100, of a list of the best T&J shorts. (161 T&J shorts were produced between 1940 and 1967; Deitch directed 13 of them.)

I’ll give you an example of each major era and let you decide if Deitch’s work deserves anything but the scorn it receives:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e38cj_tom-and-jerry-posse-cat_fun — Hanna-Barbera Era
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20ziyu_calypso-cat_shortfilms — Gene Deitch Era
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2g4kn7_tom-and-jerry-cartoon-the-mouse-from-h-u-n-g-e-r_tv — Chuck Jones Era

You can find most T&J shorts on DailyMotion if you want to do more research; just do a search for the title of a given short from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry_filmography

No one asked for a DVD set of Deitch’s T&J shorts—for good reason. Collectors might want it, but even then, I’d bet on them thinking twice before putting the money down for it.

>>233103
to be honest, I mostly hate those Tom and Jerry episodes because of the 60's electro sounds/music . thre's still lots of slapstick in it, and some episode are less "evil tom vs good jerry that do no wrong" so I'll it that. The animation was cheap, though, when the older gens made the show a standard to follow in animation for decades.

>>233124

Part of the cheapness of the animation comes from where it was made—as I said, Deitch and his animation team were Czechoslovakian. (Also, at the time, Czech animation style was so far removed from anything done in T&J and other ‘gag-driven’ cartoons that Deitch's team had to learn basically every technique that Deitch loved about T&J.)

>>233138
It's got based Stephen Colbert. That's a good enough reason to check it out.

I love RebelTaxi. He deserves way more subscribers than he has. I can't really explain why I like him, but his awkwardness carries a special charm and I feel like I would act the very same if I did a review series.

>I love RebelTaxi. He deserves way more subscribers than he has.
talk about low level marketing.

/v/ is that way -->

Can nobody link something they like without getting called a viral marketer nowadays?

>>233345
Doesn't it just mean word of mouth marketing?

>>233347
The difference between word-of-mouth and "viral" marketing is that word-of-mouth is the natural progression of recommendations from person to person, while "viral" is a single person or company posting across multiple sites (sometimes multiple times) in an effort to make it seem like word-of-mouth.

Claims that the former are actually the later are usually used against whatever is being "marketed" when the accuser does not like the thing in question and wants to sow distrust.

>>233353
And here I thought he considered Invader Zim to be his biggest failure and wanted nothing to do with it.

Wonder if it'll use those ideas from the unfinished episodes.

>>233353
I sure hope they tone down the lolsorandumb xD humor since that's a dead horse while still keeping the bleak tone and snark.

>>233353
Oh, wow, awesome.

>>233353
Well fuck me sideways.

>>233354
It's not typical form to invite all your friends to provide DVD commentary on all 27 episodes of something you consider your biggest failure and want nothing to do with. I'd like to see those unfinished episodes in comic form too, although it may restart afresh and only cannibalize the episodes for parts.

>>233360
I don't think the show itself was honestly as "lolsorandumb xD" as all that, it was mostly the insufferable juvenile fanbase calling themselves penguins of doom and holding up sporks. I've got a looong complicated history with this show, and more of it was to do with the people it attracted than the show itself, it was a silly zeitgeisty romp that became a cultural lightning rod for a specific subset of impressionable troubled yoofs.

But yeah, looking forward to seeing new Zim stuff.

Interesting.

>>233390
Is that...Tom Kenny...rapping?

From what I can sleuth, it sounds like Dreamworks will be doing a 2D animated Mr. Peabody cartoon.
I've been following their youtube channel to see if they'll say anything about that and boy do they put out a lot of videos that get hardly any views.

http://imgur.com/a/GWhFX?gallery
http://imgur.com/a/Er1YX?gallery

Even though I genuinely enjoy a lot of their movies, I feel like where Pixar makes art, Dreamworks makes "entertaining films for American audiences".

>>233467

No, that sounds like a pretty fair assessment.

>>233467
Pixar have dropped the art thing for quite a while now.

>>233467
I can see that.
Pixar films were always about trying something new.
Like trying to animate large crowds of ants, or trying to do long hair, or trying to do good water, or convincingly doing humans

>>233467
You know, I'd agree? But the HTTYD films really shook things up a bit. Especially with Pixar becoming more commercial as well. the Dragons movies are good movies but bad when compared to regular "Pixar" quality like Incredibles, Wall-E or Ratatouille. But they're definitely better than the likes of the Cars movies or such.

Disney for a while felt super simplisticly commercial, too for a bit. Chicken Little felt terribly insincere for example - but they've clearly been better than both for a while now.
Who knows what happened there.

>>233479
Yeah, I've had a chance to watch a bunch of Dreamworks movies since Dreamworks and Netflix are apparently best friends now, and they're all quite good.
I have to admit when I think of Dreamworks I still sort of think of them in that old "We're going to directly challenge Disney/Pixar by making similar movies to them" mode.
Though to their credit, none of them really directly compare besides the premise, they're all different movies.

>>233481
Yeah. Megamind was Actually Pretty Great, the Kung Fu Panda movies are gorgeously done Up There with HTTYD, a few movies haven't really hit the mark like Turbo (which had a misleading as fuck trailer and i hate it for that because I've always wanted an animated F1 movie)

And hell, the chase sequence at the beginning of Madagascar 3 was the best modern-day Cartoon Physics scene I've ever seen. I saw critics complaining about it, but it was far better than the rest of the movie, for sure.

(Nope, not even gonna question Venessa's age)

Weird. I thought they introduced Major Monogram's son to give Vanessa a more same-age love interest.

>>233575
Not that big of an age gap. Now the question is Candace and who did she pick, or did she just decide to have both?

I believe there is a pilot dating back to the '90s for the show.

>>233587

An anon found the clip from Spark and uploaded it:

>>233587
>Not that big of an age gap.

The show's creators deliberately obscured exactly how old Phineas, Ferb, etc. are.

My issues with the Deus Ex Machina that is the magic amulet aside, Secret of NIMH is a fucking masterpiece of animation and probably as good a movie as you can get out of the original book.

are you the guy that is trying to dose that show on /co/? Why is there suddenly oggy threads every day when the last episode aired 2 years ago in France?

I saw Paddington for the last day it was available in theaters where I am. And it was really, really good. I was turned off by the plot at first, but as the film went on, I thought it worked well. There were a lot of little details that made it stand out above other movies of its ilk.

Interesting updates to current technology which actually makes the show better, not worse (compared to Simpsons). The cockroaches use mobile phones for their hijinx now for example and keep messing with Oggy's computer and personal data.

Also, I dunno if it was just in the German dub, but the first airing of the show had a fucking annoying announcer talking in rymes, which made it just stupid. They scrapped it for the new version.

>>233685
>The cockroaches use mobile phones for their hijinx now for example and keep messing with Oggy's computer and personal data.
That means nothing to me, but I'll give it a fair shot.

Basically it's Tom and Jerry (2 Toms and 3 Jerries?) where you're allowed to root against whoever is being the biggest jerk in any given episode.
Unlike where you're always expected to root for Jerry no matter what.

>>233728

Hayter is still Snake, the whole no Hayter thing is a publicity stunt by Kojima. Even if he wasn't Snake, the fact that he would still be in the game means that it was an artistic decision, not a corporate one. But the PPG being recast is unacceptable, on a level of Futurama being recast and is a shitty move on CN's part.

And then this happened.

Dammit Sony.

>>233864
Why is this man never allowed the creativity he deserves?

>>233880
Because he likes to tell stories with mindless "comedy" not being on the Radar. But since the new head of Sony Animation is Ex-Dreamworks..ugh. Be prepared for more "wacky characterization" And celebrity actors that will not fit the roles. And likely a Sassy talking Jeep. Ugh I cringe.

>According to a Sony Pictures Animation spokesman I contacted today - and I quote: "Genndy has been developing both Popeye and his original idea Genndy Tartakovsky's Can You Imagine? (temp title) at the same time while directing Hotel Transylvania 2."

>"It initially looked like Popeye would happen first but Imagine pulled ahead and is now scheduled to be his next directorial film at Sony Pictures Animation. That said Popeye is still very much in active development."

Damn, still sad to hear he had to let go of Popeye since he understands it far better than anyone else they will get to replace him. But its Nice he's doing a full body of work. How is Faust's Medusa film doing anyway?

>Because he likes to tell stories with mindless "comedy" not being on the Radar.
What? Genndy loves mindless comedy. It's not like he's only ever written War and Peace novels.

See I remember seeing that on the french version and assumed someone would have noticed before bringing it over.

>parent forced to talk to their child about things

OH THE ABJECT HORROR OF IT ALL.

>>233950
Pretty funny seeing how DBZ got shat up with censorship.

Though I personally love Home For Infinite Losers

>>233961
I hate this argument. Parents wanting to avoid depictions of sex and nudity in the media their children consume is completely rational. Parents should make sure talk to their kids about these things, but the only people who should decide when and why those talks happen should be the parents. It shouldn't be forced on them by the TV shows the kids watch.

>>233963
I can understand that, but as of now the lack of certain content in children cartoons is used more as an excuse to sideline discussion of certain things as "too adult" such as homosexual relationships. And that is something that should be more open about to kids and itself shouldn't be seen as something sexual in nature.

>>233964
We're talking about a picture of a topless woman with fully exposed breasts, not Korra and Asami holding hands. This discussion has nothing to do with the depictions of homosexual relationships in children's media.

>>233963
No. Part of growing up is learning that the world isn't the room your parent imprison you until you are 18. Parent's role isn't to blind their kids, it's to let them see and explain, before, during and after. But If you don't accept that the world has things to show to your kids, then don't have kids, you will hurt them.

>>233965
>We're talking about a picture of a topless woman with fully exposed breasts
So what? breast aren't source of any sort of confusion nor trauma. really young kids feed from it. And without libido you can put as much tits in their face as you want it's not going to create anything in their mind. Unless you actually believe yourself that it's bad even for an adult to see tits. In that case, you have problems. Lots of them.

>>233967
I usually don't get into these sorts of arguments, but you seem to be missing the point. I would want to control how and when my kids get exposed to sex. You're telling me that a faceless woman in a thong with her tits thrust forward isn't meant to be sexual? Why on earth would I want my kid's first exposure to sex to be that? There's a difference between education and this.

>>233968
The way the picture is presented isn't really that sexual. It might be used for purpose of sexual stimulation in our culture, but as it is the only context kids will get from it is a less taboo view of nudity which is just fine.

Itt Europe vs US/Canada

>>233967
Thanks for turning this into a personal attack on my values and my hypothetical parenting skills. This is the same argument I've seen so many times before whenever the topic of censoring sexual content in children's media comes up. You set up a straw man version of my position that says that children should never be exposed to anything sexual, even though I specifically said the contrary in my first post. Here, I'll quote it for you:

>Parents should make sure talk to their kids about these things, but the only people who should decide when and why those talks happen should be the parents.

Try to actually read it this time.

>>233969
Completely ignoring the idea that less nudity taboo among children is a good thing, the notion that none of the children who watch this show will be mature enough to see a topless woman as a sexual image is ridiculous. At some age, our perception of the human body changes. You have no way of controlling whether or not the children who are exposed to this are all below that age.

>>233963
>I hate this argument. Parents wanting to avoid depictions of sex and nudity in the media their children consume is completely rational.

Tits aren't sex organs. They are erogenous zones for many women, but so are the earlobes. Toplessness isn't really something that kids need to be "ready for" to deal with--almost 100% of children see their mom's naked tits within like a day of being born. Why is it that you think it is important that parents be allowed to choose the time and the place to say "Hey kids, by the way, you know how you have nipples? So do adult women."

>>233971
>but the only people who should decide when and why those talks happen should be the parents.
No. You are raising kids, not pets. You don't own their life to that degree. You never will.

FCC for ya. They spent nearly a decade fighting over that Super Bowel "Wardrobe Malfunction"

>>233982
My understanding is that most of those complaints were sent after some religious group spurred a writing campaign. So America's overall prudish nature is not necessarily reflective of the people at large, but a small-and-vocal minority. Essentially, the rest of us accept this kind of thing to keep the babies from crying too loudly. Hopefully once the majority of the boomers die off/go senile we can move on.

>>233985
Well outcry over Korra and now Steven Universe has been very minimal so things are improving, though instead of prude it's now assholes that just outright say they don't like gays instead of putting it behind a mask.

>>233978
Lemme rephrase that for you:

"As a parent, though you play an integral role in your child's education and upbringing, you do not always have the best judgement as to how a person's introduction to sexuality should be."

I don't disagree but ya don't gotta be a douche about it.

>>233977
>>233978
I'm from the apparently crackpot school of thought who believes that parents should have the final say in what their kids watch and how they are raised. They should be the ones to decide when their child is mature enough to handle things like nudity, violence, and sex in the media they consume.

>>233980
>says an image is acceptable for a children's cartoon
>posts it online using a NSWF tag
Hmmm.

>>233985
Everyone wants to think the majority is on their side.

>>234005
I don't believe in exposing young kids to too much sexual content at too early of an age either, but that kind of thinking is what leads to parents denying their children access to vaccines or proper medicine, or taking their kids out of biology class because it could expose them to ideas they're not ready for yet, like how reproductive systems work or *gasp* the theory of evolution. There was one kid in my class like that, and the fact that the parents lost out on that one should give you an idea.

>>234007
That's a nice slippery slope you've got there

>>234014
Though I can understand it to some length, maybe if television had forced some parents hand with some issues some kids wouldn't wind up teen pregnant. Willful Ignorance of behaviors because you don't see them doesn't help people.

I just think it's hysterical that the terrible consequences of showing these boobs are that...he had to have a talk with his kid about boobs. The horror.

Also,

>>234005

I actually do NOT agree with this, because historically parents have done a really piss-poor job of actually relaying any of that information in a timely and accurate manner.
