Here's what bothers me with indie animation. Where the hell did all the stickman fights animators go?
Why wasn't the guy who made this:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=MoDGzRa1LW0given his own series that's just 12 minute episodes of mindless but well choreographed martial arts fights?
Doesn't even have to be martial arts, who do I have to fund to get more tacticool action powerfantasy in the vein of Astartes? I know it'll never be on that quality but I at least want beefy FACELESS(important) supersoldiers carving swathes through disposable cultists and demons again.
Alan Becker singlehandedly carrying the stickman fight genre must be hard on his back...
 
Welp, time to drag another classic show out of retirement for no reason.
Whyyyyyyy? The original story's over! Just make something new ffs

And part of the charm of the show is the dated animation, and how often they recycled animation from other episodes, I don't wanna see Code Lyoko look all modern and sleek I like how old it looks.

How come this forgotten fossil can get a new season but Sym Bionic Titan can't, and Soul Eater can never get a proper adaptation of the manga?

It's not even the first time they did this. Ever watch Code Lyoko: Evolution?

Yeah, there were a few decent ideas, but nobody was really clamoring for a sequel series where half of the scenes are in live-action.

Just so long as they keep the same dub VAs, so Jeremie and Aelita can continue to be the same chick romancing herself.
Some indie show called chimptopia is coming out and their trailer mocks gameoverse by parodying the scene from the first screwy squirrel short by tex avery

Eh, this kinda reads as sour grapes to me, especially with the generic as hell "adult animated sitcom" artstyle.
 
animatedmau keeps on persisting for a studio to pick up his show Other Side (a series that doesn't have a pilot but only 2 videos peddling furfag plushies, and smut art from it's creator that has long been removed) hopefully this doesn't get made because this is just mexican zoophobia

Why do I get Hazbin Hotel and Helluvaboss vibes from this?

Maybe their smut works are under threat by AI, and thus they need the cash from somewhere else?
And sales are a way to do that.
 
From what I know, Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh keep trying to reboot the franchise. The last few episodes of Milo Murphy's Law were basically Phineas and Ferb, then the disney plus movie came out and after hamster and gretel they made that new season of Phineas and Ferb.
Phineas and Ferb has to be one of those shows that, despite having ended their runs years ago, just refuse to go the fuck away.

It's in the same tier of shows like Breaking Bad or Friends essentially at this point.
 
Who was your favorite cartoon character when you were a kid?

For me it was Huckleberry Hound. I will never forget the birthday I was sirprised with a vhs tape of his cartoons, love that blue dog.
I know I'm a bit late, but I would still like to offer my tribute regardless.

Perry The Platypus!

[also I like Huckleberry too, he's cool]
 
Who was your favorite cartoon character when you were a kid?
Hard to claim a favorite, but Megabyte was the first to stick out to me as a kid. Probably because he was the first villain I saw who didn't want to just 'take over the world'. He just wanted to get out of town, (so he could take over the world.) There's a lot of close seconds, but he's the first one that comes to mind.

I'd rather watch the gameoverse pilot 500 times before watching 5 seconds of chimptopia and I think that gameoverse is awful. Art looks below amateur, premise is generic, the fact they're asking for money is insulting.

They claim to be an edgy alternative but they can't even violently beat Gobbles to death, they have to add cartoony stars.

Worth noting that the creator of the show is a brown groyper.

I loved him, Reboot was one of my favorite cartoons.

Tony Jay is the best!

I flipped when I saw him in live action in the Sweeney episode Golden Boy.
