/co/ General: Late Night Edition

This is the thread that is for all things Comics n' Cartoons that don't have their own thread.

Old thread >243042

continuing question:
>245020

I started watching season 2 of Frankenhole and the lack of continuity is crazy. Sure, the creator requested episodes be aired out of order to emphasise the meaningless of time in the show, but Mrs. Frankenstein talks about mangling Victor Frankenstein's testicles when he already shot them off with a gun the last season.

Either blatant ignorance or just not giving a fuck.

Recently I got my first smartphone and now I'm watching cartoons until falling asleep

>245041
Good luck staring at a tiny screen in the dark.

>245041
I know that feeling.

>245042
Actually not an issue, the screen size and brightness are enough for me

I was wondering if McHale was going to work on anything else soon.

It is now official.

Jack is back.

>245056
Oh shit.

I never saw the original but /co/ is fucking obsessed with it. Should be good.
>inb4 reboot syndrome

>245056
Hell. Freaking. YES!

>245057
You have plenty of time to watch it before the new season airs. Watch it, you will not regret it.

>245057

This is not a reboot. This is a legit Season Five helmed by the show's original creator. If this were a reboot of the show, or if Genndy were not in charge, there would not be as much excitement around the show's return as there is right now.

The original "Samurai Jack" was a monumental achievement in Western animation, if only for the fact that a show like "Jack" had never taken the risks it took with both style and content. The show stuck out entirely because it dared to be different from every action cartoon before it (and arguably every action cartoon since). And now we may finally get to see it receive the conclusion it has deserved for more than a decade. If Genndy fails to deliver a quality season, so be it; at least he got the chance to deliver at all, and for that, I will celebrate the return of "Samurai Jack".

So the lesson here is "If China don't give a fuck, then why should you?"

(Although this is still one step removed from the storyboard, where the designs and names were literally identical to the Miracle Star ones)

>245116
Wait, what, they used the Chinese ripoff family in an actual episode? When did this came out???

>245121
Episode airs on TV Monday, but it's on the Cartoon Network website now.

Paperman and the Future of 2D Animation

>245137

The most recent "Guilty Gear" game employed somewhat similar techniques using 3D models and cel-shading to achieve its look.

Trailer fucking now:

And check out all that blood.

>245139

I am hype. I am so fucking hype.

I am now curious about that female villain, Aku wasn't really too keen on having "right hands" so to speak. I guess things not only changed for Jack over the years.

Also, did I go mad or she sounded a lot like Azula? Was that Grey DeLisle?

Something interesting is that in the trailer Jack is shown wielding a lot of different weapons, but NOT his katana, I wonder if that's going to be a plot point.

>245142

Yes a recording session showed both her and Tara Strong in attendance.


>245143
Probably something res loved in the first episode. Jack shakes himself out of his timeless funk and he gets back to work.

>245137

It's like SFW R34; I never thought it would exist, but I am in no way surprised.

Dragon drama.
I wonder if they'd do a big finale for the pre HTTYD 2 era so we can timeskip to post HTTYD 2.
Build that hype for HTTYD 3 and what not.

>245160
Be nice since Traveling is part of the show. Though I wonder if they are having some problem with figuring out HTTYD 3 given how the books went.

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3423971/violent-castlevania-tv-series-headed-netflix-year/

Well, then. About time one of these fucking "Castlevania" adaptations finally got off the ground somewhere.

And now, the real reason Jack went to [adult swim].

>245179
CN is so shitty, with that terrible Powerpuff Girls revival and that retarded chibi Teen Titans show which they seem to air constantly, had to sit through episodes of it (and crossovers between the two) when people were streaming the new SU releases.

http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/09/guillermo-del-toro-trollhunters-season-2/
Seems he has enough Yelchin for one more 13 episode season.
And it also sounds like this ia 52 episode story.

>245179
Found and faved.

>245180
They also have Mighty Magiswords, and in my opinion it is good.

This may not be news, but dammit it's informative:

So, the cartoon thought to be the first pornographic cartoon ever, extensively featured animal sex and even bestiality.

I can't be the only one who thinks that CN sucks at promoting shows.

>245276

What would ever make you think that?

>245276
It's a shame how Adventure Time is getting treated. At least it isn't as bad as what happened to Korra over on nick.

So, this asian company that does Rimba Racer has a reel on their Vimeo channel. Why show it to you?

To give an example of how to make a trailer of all your best moments, even when you're a very young company with little to show:
https://vimeo.com/144065102

The new season of Dragons feels like it's really cleaning everything up to set the stage for HTTYD2.
Which is what I thought they would do by this point, but that was when HTTYD3 was due to come out this year instead of 2019.

>245296

How much longer do they have anyway?

>245297
That's a good question, I don't know if there's one central place where you can find out what kind of episode orders the shows have or if you have wait for the showrunner to mention it in an interview like King Julien - 78 and Trollhunters - 52

>245298
Could have sworn it was mentioned by the King Julien showrunner that Netflix is looking to get each show at around 70 odd episodes.

Least on their current scheduled shows. But its a question of where and how far can you go with things like HTTYD when it gets really near that second movie. Which is different from things like Puss in Boots which is really undefined where it takes place before or Peabody and Sherman which takes place afterward the movie.

Nickelodeon needs to learn how to let something die.

>245311
all networks need to learn this. That and shows aren't usually surefire hits from Episode one.

Butch alone has pitched four shows last few years because he knows they need new blood.

>245313

>all networks need to learn this.

Except for Cartoon Network and [adult swim]. CN not only lets shows die, it fucking does a tax write-off for them and leaves them to rot in some archive somewhere. And [as] kills some shows so dead that it only ever airs said shows again in the 4am "holy shit I am fucking stoned" timeslot (e.g., "Black Dynamite").

>245314
I don't know if [as] "kills" shows as much as it has a fairly small budget and while it's willing to experiment, prefers to try new experiments rather than trying to make a lackluster (in terms of success) experiment do better.

Personally I don't have any problem with single season shows. It's pretty much the norm in anime, and I think a lot of anime is better for it.

>245329
That's the Catch-22 of it all. Yea more pieces like Over the Garden Wall would be Epic. Problem is those are the rarity as Networks want something they can turn into a series that will have a good number of episodes they can run each year.

If I can get into a position to talk an executive/s into a position of a budget allotment for a One Shot show startup production lets say have one start in the spring and the other in the fall and to air the preceding period (Fall show will begin airing in the Spring and the Spring Production will start up and air in the latter fall) I'll go to bat for that being a good idea.

Because it is.

>245343

>Networks want something they can turn into a series that will have a good number of episodes they can run each year

Or, in the case of Cartoon Network, a good number of episodes they can run every day. (*coughteentitansgocough*)

Disney has finally gone full-on queer:

https://youtu.be/9n5ACBivlcg?t=86

>245345
>Disney has finally gone full-on queer
Disney has been gay for quite a while.

>245346
Their cartoons have been shy about it till very recently. Gravity Falls infamously had S&P nix an elderly lesbian couple falling for each other under the influence of the God of Love. I think they got away with inclusion in the finale though, so I don't think this is the FIRST example of on-screen gaiety on their cartoons.

But does Disney have the minerals to canonize Elsanna?

>245348

There is snow chance in Hell of that happening.

At most I can see it being inferred that this one has a crush on Rapunzel and that its only ever inferred.

>245349
Though in this case it's probably less a case of "not having the minerals" and more a case of "The people who are in charge probably find the ship disgusting because it's incestuous, and if you don't have that particular kink it's generally pretty off putting."

>245351

I seriously doubt Disney would want to expose children to the idea of incest. What the people in charge think of the incest kink matters far less in that regard.

>245352
Technically they *have* depicted it on screen before. Hercules had Zeus and Hera married, after all.

They just never brought attention to the fact that canonically, Zeus and Hera were siblings.

>245353
Hercules took so many liberties with Greek mythology that you really can't assume that.

>245360
And at the same time was the best Superman film since '78

>245367
Funnily enough, James Woods is now voicing Lex Luthor.

>245370

Nice.

So, this Spark thing, it finally has a proper trailer:

It's very up front about being a horse show for girls.

Posting it here because. The people responsible really deserve a freaking medal for spending time and effort actually remastering Rescue Rangers in 1080p AND keeping the original aspect ratio of a squarish rectangle.

>245445
........... technically 1090, which is 10 pixels "better".

>245445
>245446

WHAT THE FUCK. I DEMAND TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS. (Also: Fuck yeah to keeping the original 4:3 aspect ratio.)

>245447
The place I got it from told me it's from Amazon (digital download).

>245448

Where did you get it from, then? :O

Stone totally started masturbating.

Good find Mister Twister. It's always disturbing when people destroy the aspect ratio, especially when they crop out an important part of a scene. I've seen the same kind of issue with censorship via lazy cutting. It's dreadful to see.

>245450

>Stone totally started masturbating.

Why must you turn this thread into a house of lies?

>245449
It is a secret place. You can get it from Amazon. I will buy it as well, when I get some more extra cash.

Posting 2 more random screenshots before stopping.

>245452

😭😭😭😭😭

So, I managed to find a torrent (took long damn enough).

Holy shit, this show has literally never looked better. This might just be an upscale instead of a true remastering (and the Disney XD logo before the episode I downloaded makes me think these are the cut-up versions of the episodes that were released on DVD), but godfuckingdamn I have never seen a single screenshot of the show that looked this fucking good until now.

One thing that makes me lean toward this release being a remaster, though? The title logo. They redid the animation for it to make it hi-def. Compare the attached screenshot to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/archive/1/11/20090430155234!Chip%27n_Dale_Rescue_Rangers_logo.jpg and see for yourself.

Too bad the torrent I nabbed lacks three separate episodes. Would've kinda wanted to take a bunch of screencaps from the full series for reaction-face purposes or whatever. Ahwell.

And one more thing before I stop posting for a while: After a fair amount of work in GIMP, I managed to "de-text" the end credits background. (Even turned it into a desktop wallpaper for my laptop.)

>245460
That's the wrong source. What you got are the iTunes releases, which are uneven, some upscales, and not all of them good. The Amazon releases are the only ones you should care about.

>245462
Good joj.

>245463

I would not have to worry about this sort of mix-up if SOMEONE could have pointed me to the Amazon rips… 😐

>245466
Are you serious about not being able to purchase it there?

>245467

I am permabroke until I say otherwise, yo.

>245468
Okay, I will share the ultimate secret with you, if you seriously promise to do whatever you can to get into the making money business (there is no such thing as a job too small or too insignificant).

>245469

If you are only going to tease me, fuck it, I will find it on my own somehow.

>245482
I will send you an invite to a private fucking tracker, swear to God. All I need is a promise that you will start actively improving your life.

>245483
Although, you might be having some severe trust issues right now. You know what, just post your email here, and I'll send you the invite code.

Use a password, so to delete your post after I got it.

And no, I am not "teasing you", or whatever you choose to believe. I don't do that, and I don't lie to people.

I cannot send you an invite if you don't share you email.

>245490

I would assume you are not, but I still hold one of the old rules of TGFB to heart: “Do not cocktease the board” — in other words, do not tease people with sharing something, then refuse to do so (especially if some arbitrary condition is required for sharing). That said, at least one of my email addresses is not terribly hard to find, though I have included it with this post because you asked.

>245491

http://deadline.com/2017/03/cartoon-network-2017-2018-programming-slate-six-new-returning-series-upfronts-1202054922/

NEW SERIES
• Apple & Onion – Being new and naïve to the ways of the “big city of sophisticated food” doesn’t stop the wide-eyed enthusiasm of the lovable buddies Apple and Onion who are destined to find their way and make lots of friends on their incredible adventure of life. The friendship comedy is created by George Gendi (The Amazing World of Gumball).

• Craig of the Creek – At the Creek, the rules of the outside world don’t apply in this kid utopia of untamed wilderness where Craig and his two best friends have ventured and tribes of children reign over tree forts and dirt bike ramps. The adventure series is created by Matt Burnett and Ben Levin, formerly from Steven Universe.

• Summer Camp Island – Having completed a momentous and critically acclaimed run at this year’s most notable festivals including the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW, this wildly imaginative animated series, based on the original Cartoon Network short, will continue unfolding the mysteries that Oscar and his best friend Hedgehog encounter at a magical summer camp. The series hails from creator Julia Pott (Adventure Time).

• OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes – Cartoon Network powers up a world of original heroes across the TV and gaming landscape together with the greenlight of this action-packed comedy followed by the console and PC game jointly developed with indie video game studio Capybara games. The knockout series is inspired by creator Ian Jones-Quartey’s childhood and follows the heroic feats of K.O., an endlessly optimistic boy attempting to level up to be the best he can be in a dynamic universe of heroes, friends and challenging foes. The series builds on OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo, the network’s first original standalone mobile game and was developed from a pilot that was part of Cartoon Network’s Emmy Award-winning shorts program.

• Ben 10 – The newest show coming out of the highly successful franchise has launched multiple animated series, and numerous animated and live-action movies. Playmates Toys serves as the worldwide master toy partner for the new Ben 10 with a full line of toys based on the show that will include a range of figures, playsets, and role-play items set to launch at retail globally this fall. The wild adventures begin debuting Monday, April 10 and will introduce fun loving, 10-year-old, Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen, and Grandpa Max, as they traverse the country during summer vacation. Once Ben finds the Omnitrix, a mysterious watch that transforms him into 10 different heroic aliens, a world of extraterrestrial superpowers opens to him, which kids of all ages will admire. Ben 10 is created by and executive produced by Man of Action Entertainment.

• Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs – The mouth-watering animated comedy series premiered earlier this month and is based on Sony Pictures Animation’s highly successful 2009 global feature Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and subsequent, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. The TV series is produced in association with DHX Media, Sony Pictures Animation and Corus Entertainment.

Sounds fun.

Huh.

I just sort of unironically enjoy watching the Dinotrux build and get noticeably better at it as the series progresses.
Little annoyed and confused that season 4 is a lot shorter than the rest though.

HOLY FUCK, THE NEW “RICK AND MORTY” EPISODE

I hope it's a Samurai Jack quality level reboot, not a Powerpuff Girls style reboot.
Lots of posting in the wrong threads recently.

>245701
A kid dies and he stays dead instead of miraculously springing to life with no explanation at the last second.

>245701

Not a reboot, but a made-for-TV movie. And yes, all the major voice actors are returning.

>245704
"Reboot" and "remastered" are only 2 words that people keep misusing over and over. Because why learn meanings when you can just mindlessly repeat what the dude next to you just said?

Also, if Samurai Jack ends SUPER GRACEFULLY, and Hey Arnold Jungle Movie is a success, and this Invader Zin finale is not bad................. maybe, just maybe Storm Hawks season 3??

>245705
I agree on the whole reboot debacle, but do remember that words can have more than one meaning. "Only two words that people keep misusing" is a gross overstatement, but thats expected coming from you. I'm only using "reboot" as a short hand for "restart to the series after being dead for so long that not all the same elements are the same, to the point the series is now taking a new direction or leaving off where it left off". Isn't "reboot" a shorter way of expressing that? I always thought of the term reboot like it is in computers where it could mean "starting that which had been shut down".

>245707

“Reboot” usually refers to a new work made that features some characters, settings, and plot points from the original work or series (e.g., “The Amazing Spider-Man”) but otherwise has no connection to the original work or series (the Raimi-directed “Spider-Man” trilogy). Reboots are generally done to “modernise” a franchise or take it in a new direction after years of dormancy (e.g., the “Batman” film franchise going all Nolan after the horrendous “Batman & Robin” put that franchise on ice).

I use the term “rebake” — a portmanteau of “reboot” and “remake” — in reference to works that are both a reboot and a remake of a prior work or series. Rebake examples include the recent “Ghostbusters” and “RoboCop” films, in that those films are meant to both reboot a dormant franchise and remake the first film of their respective franchises.

The new season of “Samurai Jack” and the “Invader Zim” movie are revivals. They are direct continuations of the original shows made years after those shows ended. They did not restart or remake anything. They do not qualify as a reboot, remake, or rebake.

>245710
Thanks for the real response and explanation. I'll start using the term revival more often for. Heh, rebake, that is good.

>245707
Guess I need to keep you in mind before making each post, less you misunderstand something.

Only 2 words = just 2 of the many words.


And reboot means reboot of continuity. None of the past effects happened, all events erased, starting form a clean slate. But of course everyone keeps using "reboot" when talking sequels anyway.

>245722
My apologies. My reading comprehensions and mental faculties decreases when I'm posting from my phone late at night.

Agreed. Reboot has lost it weight these days due to improper uses. I even make that mistake, as previously seen. And alternative continuities are also things that muddle this mess even more.

It seems shallow, but adding serialized elements just seems to universally make a show better to me.

>245749

This is because serialized storytelling offers a chance for actual character growth and progression that “status quo is God” shows cannot. Season Five of “Samurai Jack” is great partially because it eschews the whole “robot of the week”/self-contained storylines from the first four seasons in favor of a progressing storyline that will end in the series finalé.

You know that feeling when there's a bunch of background characters who are blatantly voiced by the same VA as a main character?

I mean, just get random crew members to do it.

[reaction pic is not an example]

Speaking of story mode, Season 5 of All Hail King Julien is coming a lot sooner than I thought.
You might recall this is the season the showrunner has said is going to be super serialized, rivaling his work on Mystery Inc.
Which sounds hyperbolic, but is probably good advertising because it's got me intrigued.
This highly evocative promo art is a good start.
tldw: Julien loses the kingdom and is sent into hiding in the S4 finale, hence the throne is empty and the "King" in the title is faded out.

Where were you when you realized Baloo died from internal bleeding shortly after consuming the thorn sandwich?

http://screenrant.com/carmen-sandiego-tv-show-netflix-gina-rodriguez/

neat going to be a Carmen focused version of the show.

>245785
You know it suddenly occurs to me that I can't think of any other adaptation that's focused on Carmen. Which is kind of crazy. We know far more about lots of incidental characters (mostly ones that exist only in that adaptation) than we know about Carmen herself. All we really know about Carmen is that she is an impossibly good thief and that she knows how to rock a red outfit and cool hat.

>245784
Maybe he eats those all the time and built up a tolerance.

>245786
Well according to all the sources she's a former A.C.M.E. Detective that found the greater challenge was outsmarting her peers. Possibly former spy before that and her full name is Carmen Isabela Sandiego.

The show apparently did give her a backstory.

>According to this canon, Carmen Sandiego was an orphan raised at the Golden Gate Girls' School in San Francisco. The Chief gave her a home at the ACME Detective Agency and, by age seventeen, she solved more cases than any other ACME agent. However, she then disappeared and turned to a life of crime. Her partner when she was at ACME was a Japanese man named Suhara, who left ACME after she did and appears to now be retired. Unlike in most of the rest of the series, the reason for Carmen leaving ACME is not specifically stated, although it is speculated by Suhara

So it'll be interesting to see where the show picks up this time and what they decide is her history.

So, watched Spark. Rate it a 7.5/10, but not many 'round these parts will agree.

>245799

How long was that film in development?

>245801
I don't know. All I know is the final release was delayed because the producers did not like it enough or something.

Carmen now has a player.

We gonna get on that meta level since back in the older cartoon she did straight up banter with them.

Assume for a moment that Maggie Simpson did not shoot Mr. Burns. If she did not do it, who did? Well, here are three theories:

//youtube.com/watch?v=pIeQ3Ym8f00
//youtube.com/watch?v=za9IVKmbb-E
//youtube.com/watch?v=mIQzAJLKmUA

The 6 minute trailer project is still alive, and apparently almost complete.

Did Peabody ever go "Quiet, you" in the show?
That is something I can only think of in association to the Simpsons.

Wow, AT pulled some wild stuff Skyhooks. I thought PB have gone mad with power before, but not this kind of mad or with this kind of power.

I'm almost done with season 1 of RWBY. It might not be a good show (yet), but the frame rates are way better than than some fully cgi anime I've seen at least.

>245933
The quality of everything--animation, character designs, models, environments, writing, pacing--goes up considerably with each season. For me it went from "watchable" in Season 1 to one of my favorite shows by midway through Season 3. I'm champing at the bit for Season 5.

>245948
That's good to hear. I was wondering why RWBY was so popular. I was speculating that it gets better or that the amount of fans that want "western anime" is way larger than I calculated.

Posting this in /ca/rtoon general because why not.

Commander Clark is an obscure show brought up recently in an obscure cartoon thread. It will be up your alley if you're into comfy space slice of life:
//youtube.com/watch?v=uB3rxigiXIE

As this crazy Spirit cartoon comes closer, I do wonder if it will implement either of the narrative devices for Spirit as seen in the movie; songs with lyrics that describe how Spirit is feeling at that moment, or just straight up internal monologue from Spirit.
//youtube.com/watch?v=_Wcpp0IbkLY

It turns out that J.G. Quintel's next show after Regular Show is airing on TBS, but produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Between this and Samurai Jack, Turner seems open to the idea of the studio making content for other channels they own.

Disney dropped a nice little bombshell earlier today: Lin-Manuel Miranda will provide the voice for Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera and his superhero alter-ego, Gizmoduck, in the new “DuckTales”.

Can someone x-plain to me why this is a thing??
//youtube.com/watch?v=OGzVYyV_Jsg

>246195

I don’t know what “x-plain” is, but I can explain why that is a thing: nostalgia.

>246196
Original was a self-contained film. Nothing left to tell in that story.

>246200
The creators of this agree, that's why it's a prequel.

Looks like Swat Kats Revolution project is NOT dead:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1820796125/swat-kats-revolution/posts/1850589

Have they tried Netflix? They are always up for animation stuff.

>246227
I'm sure they will, but maybe what they don't have is an animation studio to make the show.
That would be step one.

>246229
Exactly. According to the update, they found an "interested" party to finance, but that is as far as they got.

Apparently, fanfiction is allowed on Top Webcomics.

TWIN OF MURDER

I enjoy looking for and finding storyboards.

>246348
Don't we all?

The storyboard is almost always more emotive than the final product

It's also interesting to see the differences between the storyboard and the final product. In your pic the final product is much less exaggerated in expressions and poses. With pic related, the dialogue changed significantly in the final product: Penny doesn't say a word in the second half and her father is the one that requests Gumball leaves.

So, The Flintstones?

>246361
If there's one thing more fun than characters in a cute sketchy artstyle, it's finding the extra spicy version of a joke they pitched to get away with the only mildly spicy joke in the actual episode.

>246380
Oh jeez, no wonder that bit got removed. Brave as.

Reminds me of lewd fanservice .webm related.

It's really charming how much it shows that Kulipari is almost entirely funded by just the one guy that created it.
Case in point, the second season is going to take almost two years after the first.
With that timeframe, it's more understandable that he butchered the pacing of the first season to cover all the books at once and get to write new stories as soon as possible.

What the fuck, Nazz is STEM?

So, the Dragon's Lair pitch trailer project is almost over, and the IGG page is closing down in 2 weeks.

The 6 minutes will be released soon.

I decided to check out the rough copies of Cans Without Labels (John K's current crowdfunded cartoon) and I'm just really glad that it's better than the old stuff. When Spumco did Flash cartoons, they were really bad in my opinion: so much tweening and low frame-rate stuff, which is typical of amateur Flash animation but just looks crumby, like those GoAnimate type things. With the current project, he's improved with the animation quality significantly. It's still like a solo animation, but much more fluidity and that just makes so much of a difference. He's also improved his pacing (a big issue with some of his works) and cut down on the failed jokes (he was a big hit, big miss kinda guy).

Huh, well here I didn't expect Nickelodeon to go back into it after Korra. Especially with one of their headliner shows.

>246418
Considering one of the characters has two dads, that's not overly surprising.

>246421
Going from older adults to teenage characters is a step. While comics have been playing that game for decades as well as live action teen dramas now doing it in a media that is squarely aimed at younger children is a step.

On that I think it'll be interesting to see what happens if it gets directly addressed.

Shame Nick News is over. Could have been part of a nice follow up to their earlier piece a few years back.

>246423
Cartoon Network's been doing it on multiple shows besides Steven Universe so I think that taboo is finally coming down.

A frenchman wrote a movie around 5 years ago inspired by US media, about life in an exaggerated LA (again, how France sees it in movies):

Had to double post, but reminding everyone this exists:

It's a site that hosts recent pitches for european animated films, as well as those pitches that got accepted and started development. Want to discover new cartoons from there? One of the best sites to use.

Huh, Netflix is trying to do something new with the medium with choose your own adventure stories.

It's a little picky about what device you're using. If you aren't watching on a supported thing, then you just get a variant of the story that automatically runs through.

I did not expect it, but episodes 6 and 7 of RWBY actually got me emotionally invested in the characters. Although, that might just be because i read a spoiler that makes me take Pyrrha's character arc more seriously than I was originally.

Who here is watching the new Castlevania series on Netflix?

Not a bad show. Shame only 4 episodes.

>246587
Luckily, season two is already greenlit and will be 8 episodes, which is great, because I already want more.

The show fluctuates wildly between faithful and "Oh hello Warren Ellis, you sure are just talking to me."

>246594
I like it when Warren Ellis talks to me though.

>246592
>Luckily, season two is already greenlit and will be 8 episodes, which is great, because I already want more.
Netflix have frequently been disingenuous about calling every batch of episodes a "season", but this was just crazy.

>246594
>246595
My issue was less deviation from the source material as how much focus is on the painfully cliche corrupt medieval church that is wrong about everything.

Also, Armitage's voice work can be hard to parse. He has like four lines an episode where I have no idea what he's saying until I replay with captions.

Still decent overall.

What the fuck.

Is it possible to get CN shows from the 2000s in better than 512x384 (without up-scaling, of course) or was that the resolution they broadcasted in?

>246598
>384
The US standard has always been 480p/480i.

>246599
I just assumed 512x384 (4:3) was a thing since I downloaded two series (one from torrent and one recently from Anon) that both came in that resolution.

I also tried searching desuarchive for any download links and all that came up was a dead link from 2012.

>246598

Unless you can find them released on DVD or digital video, I doubt it.

>246585
Good if you can get past the fedora tipping. I'm an atheist and it was a bit much for me.

>246602
Which is kind of crazy when holy water actually works in universe.

>246602
Is it tipping towards god or simply the establishment of the church?

And is it the hero or the villain who is tipping?

>246604
The church is portrayed as entirely fucking evil and very stupid, to the point of causing sympathy with "Make a fence out of intestines" Dracula.

Actual consecrations and holy aligned people are portrayed as divinely empowered and God is actively portrayed as real but largly absent besides the power he invests, but wanting fuck all to do with the church or Dracula.

Dracula because he forsook God and the church because they carry out atrocities in his name.

>246605
I don't see what the problem here is. Sounds like what I would expect from black vs black morality horror stuff. Also, keep in mind that to the Japanese that Christianity is just another mythology to them. Like how Wizards of the coast used ancient Egypt for their most recent setting.

>246606
The writer of this animated series is Warren Ellis.

Though you are right that at different times throughout the games timeline the church has been both an ally or antagonistic to the Belmont family line.

hee hee

>246585
I felt that the show's pacing could use some tightening. There's a hefty amount of extraneous dialogue and scenes of people just talking to each other. There were some cracking one liners in there that I didn't feel had the impact they should have done because they didn't have space to breathe, which is kinda crazy considering they had 100 minutes to work with. Also, was it just my telly or was much of the dialogue nigh-inaudible for anyone else?

It is absolutely beautiful, though. You can definitely feel the influence of Vampire Hunter D and other horror anime that the makers must have grown up watching.

>246610
Episode one and four are incredible, 2 and 3 felt like dead weight.

>246607
In CV3 the Church were definitely the good guys. Sypha's original backstory was she became a demon hunter working for the Church who took her and protected her after her family was killed by superstitious townfolk. That part is accurate. But here they go out of their way to show that Sypha and the Speakers are completely unaffiliated with Christianity with the line where Sypha's granddad mentions "those Christian priests".

Being an atheist I don't really care about them showing Christians or Catholics being bad guys (though they really should be Eastern Orthodox, and the Catholic Church was actually pro-science a lot of the time), and besides Ellis was more restrained in his fedora tipping than usual by making it clear it was corrupt individuals even God hates, not Christianity or the Church itself. But it made for a bad writing decision because it felt like Ellis was preaching to the audience at the expense of good pacing.

>246611
Parts of them were good. Particularly the bar scene and the fight against the Cyclops. They should've combined those into one episode with some connective tissue and either cut down or cut out the rest of the stuff about the evil priests and the persecution of the Speakers. I get some buildup was needed for Trevor's arc of going from not giving a shit to standing up for the people but that could've been accomplished without the evil priests subplot.

>246598
Depends on the production company sometimes and the media it was recorded onto.

>246611
>246613
They should've used the Speakers/Bishop subplot to introduce Grant instead. I saw an article Ellis wrote from ten years ago where he said he cut Grant out of the beginning part because he took time away from introducing the other three, but since a lot of it turned out to be filler spending it on Grant would've probably been better after all.

Binged the whole season last night. The pacing was a drag in the middle two episodes and the last half of the last episode. The writing could use a little tuning (the “family [x]” stuff did not need that much exposition). The animation was, at worst, mediocre. I liked the voice acting and non-exposition dialogue (Sypha was a delight in both regards) as well as the character designs in general. The “evil Church” stuff was heavy-handed, but I doubt that will be too much of an issue in Season 2. And HOLY FUCKING SHIT DRACULA BECAME THE FUCKING KING OF BADASS VAMPIRES AGAIN.

I did like how they actually worked a bunch of gameplay elements into the story. Like talking to NPCs for information, and Trevor's subweapon animations acting like they do in the games.

>246628
Too bad the threw the holy water out of a bucket instead of a perfume bottle though.

>246652

In fairness, a bucket would hardly be the best symbol for “holy water” when playing a videogame. A bottle filled with water and decorated with a cross, on the other hand…

Netflix put out their second interactive short: Buddy Thunderstruck - The Maybe Pile.
Which is fun because I like that show, but it's not very exciting as a choose your own adventure.
Puss in Boots had two distinct story paths that diverge halfway, but Maybe Pile just has four endings that are literally decided in the last two choices.

Why do we need Turok as a black guy? In an era were Natives are literally the last vanguard between evil corporations trying to poison the water who the fuck thought he should be black?

>246680
What? They are still making Turok comics?

And they blackwashed 'em?

Seriously, you have one of, if not the most, famous native Sci-fi character IPS and one of the most pressing Geo-political issues of the day and your idea is "Black man vs Nazis, and don't you dare update them to be Alt-Right Nazis either you fuck! Make them as out of touch as possible, also Dinosuars, we don't want to insult the Neo-Nazis."

We got this going on and that's the best you got?

>246681
Yup, Dynamite owns his comic rights, and unlike Ash Williams who they nail they are NOTHING but thumbs when it comes to Turok, this is like the 13th time they've tried to unfuck him, but they can't can't seem to get the Design "Native guy with LOTZ Link levels of Sci-fi shit.

This was his design before being "black-ified and replaced, it is equally awful.

>246684

Wow. It took 3 seasons but RWBY has become really good. I wonder if season 1 & 2 weren't as good because it needed a lot of build up of standard magical school garbage or was it to lull the viewer into a relaxed state to eventually pull the rug from underneath them.

There's 17 episodes left, so they could end it late this year, but early next year is more likely.


>246763
>246764
>we've apparently been in season nine for a while
Only if you go by the CN website video list, which for whatever reason recently reorganized boundaries between seasons 7, 8, and 9. By the actual production cycle, "Three Buckets" was the season 8 finale.


Where the seasons begin and end isn't that important storywise, though. This is the show that habitually spreads multi-part episodes across the end of one season and beginning of the next.

>246765

And it airs on a network not known for treating shows as having “seasons” (or, in the case of any show besides “Teen Titans Go”, previous episodes).

Meant century, of course.

Probably preaching to the choir, but Ed is an unusually great "idiot" character since the older you get, the more you understand his stealthily intelligent lines. Quite a few of his jokes seem completely non sequitur until you make the connections. I think TV tropes calls it "Fridge Brilliance".

Also, half of TV Tropes "Fridge" pages content is either "reading too far into it" or "it's not fridge, you're just slow".

>246803
I liked him better in the first few seasons. As the show went on everyone turned into a complete caricature to the point they were completely predictable and it became no fun to watch.

>246803

The “Evil Tim” episode is still one of my favorite episodes of animation ever. Also, EEnE had the best goddamn sound design.

>246806
>Also, EEnE had the best goddamn sound design.
Oath. That's one of the most famous and respected aspects of the show.
//youtube.com/watch?v=fm_7QDTFGsU

>246810

Why did you post a video that was designed to hide/ruin “one of the most famous and respected aspects of the show”? And it’s not even funny, either.

>246811
>And it’s not even funny, either.
That's an opinion and you know it. You may not be the target audience but that doesn't mean the video lacks merit.

It's a blatant satirical jab at Johnny Test's abhorrent sound design made through the juxtaposition of the infamously overused "whipcrack" sfx against the novel and well-received sound design of EEnE. Another viewpoint is that it emphasises the magnitude of the effect sound has on a cartoon by demonstrating a grim alternative, potentially invoking further appreciation of the EEnE series. Furthermore, an interpretation that you have determined already would be the citation of a famous "rule of the internet": The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt it. It's the same kind of effect created by YouTube Poop videos. However I mainly appreciate the first two rationalisations.

As for why I posted it? because it IS funny, you Philistine.

>246814

That you think it’s funny is an opinion, too—and it is categorically wrong.

>246815

My mistake.

Ducktales returns tomorrow.

Here's a theory for you. Disney is not just rebooting Ducktales for brand recognition.

No; Disney is considering rebooting most of the Disney Afternoon lineup (at least those shows most remembered, best received, and easily transferable into the hip slick modern 21st century), and the ratings of NEW!Ducktales will determine that.

We'll see if that's true. This theory ©Me.

>246863

I can believe this theory, if only because rebooting old properties like the Disney Afternoon shows means instant brand recognition and far less work than developing an entirely new world and whatnot. Then again, “DuckTales” was already the most successful and beloved show of that particular “franchise”, and—let’s be real here—it was also the best show of the bunch. Whether other DA shows receive a revival should be based on whether Disney can achieve the same kind of quality as the “DuckTales” reboot with other old shows.

Then again, I’m not so sure I want to see what a rebooted “Rescue Rangers” (read: a new Gadget design) looks like.

>246868
Well, AKSHULLY, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin and Gargoyles are objectively the best ones of the bunch, and super great and awesome.

I really hope the new Huey, Dewy and Louie grow as people and dont remain as insufferable brats the whole time. I also feel that Atlantis was a bit too big for a first adventure. But then again, I don't remember what the first adventure was in the old series was. That reveal at the end was pretty good.

>I don't remember what the first adventure was in the old series was

That would be the five-parter (which was a movie cut in five eps) The Treasure of the Golden Suns, which was basically a globe-trotting quest to find not-El Dorado. So yeah, old show also started big.

I keep seeing people with Snoopy merchandise (mainly Asian girls) and I keep thinking of how sad Peanuts actually was. Funny, certainly, but not really happy and cute, relatively speaking.

>246913
>
>More I think she was hurt. I expect a wheelchair at mos
I dunno, it would have to be something that would give Donald custody of the triplets. So at the very least, missing/presumed dead or in a coma I would think. Just being wheelchair-bound wouldn't leave Donald as an adoptive father.

I knew my patience would pay off.

>246976
Is it the dub? Don't like the voices for that one.

Someone subbed the entire series and posted the megaupload on /co/ a little while ago.

Rondel is my new favorite /co/ character.

Lego Elves looks really pretty but the framerate really bothers me.

>246977
Its the dub. I guess my wait continues, unless I feel like hinting down a mega. Oh well.

The newest Rick & Morty is the first time in a while that I think the show has legitimently upset me. All I could think of past the halfway point was "please save Stacey from that toxic hell". It didn't help that normal!Morty then dumped his soulmate that healthy!Morty had. And "healthy"!Morty didn't even release Stacy when it was as easy as flipping a switch?? I know R&M is a fucked up show that does fucked up things, but it really got to me this time.

>247003
I was more stuck on how it's implied thathealthy!Rick sees caring about Morty as toxic. But I've never seen cynical or "fucked up", shock material in cartoons as a criticism, so long as it is humorous or fleshes out a character or idea.

I haven't seen anything past S1 except for this episode, which a friend showed me after a lecture. Good to see the show isn't dying; despite being popular with normal people (not inherently bad but often a sign I won't like it) the show is still brave and doesn't tend to pander.

And here I was wondering just where the story of Dragons was going to go now that the plot coupon and the big bad were destroyed.
Turns out both survived the volcano and now Hiccup has built his own dragon eye.

Aww. RIP.

I feel Rick and Morty season three has the potential to surpass it's previous season if can keep up with how good it's been so far.

This most recent episode might've been the best in the series so far. It's certainly on the short list, at any rate.

Oh lord, South Park is doing an episode on Charlottesville for the season premiere.

I wonder how much leeway Matt and Trey will give the white nationalists in an effort to do the usual “both sides are bad” schtick.

Won't do a new thread for this but Chris Savino has been let go from Nickelodeon upon allegations of improper conduct with women on staff. Coming from one of the directors of BoJack from when she was an intern.

And word more allegations against some others may be coming out.

So yea shakeup hopefully going into the Live action section of stuff as well.
