Drawn Together was an abomination that should never have existed. Panty and Stocking is pretty drat funny if you go in expecting R-rated Powerpuff Girls with an anime bent.redcheval posted:Funnily I kind of agree, but I just love the way that it looks. I'm also incredibly jazzed to see what Glen Keane is up to these days. Maybe it's just me but after Disney gutted its animation department it's always really exciting to see legends like Keane still working in 2D. Yeah, same here. I love his work and it's always cool to see animation in that sort of sketch-book mode. The shapes are beautiful. Story is a little basic but that's not really a bad thing. I really miss traditional animation. Tangled and Frozen were great movies, but I don't know if that style will every have the same visual impact that say, The Lion King's color pallet does on me. It's a different kind of art. (And that's not to take away from say, the lantern scene because it's gorgeous.) mistaya fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Jun 29, 2014 |

There was also a running gag that the school superintendent had raped Allen's homeroom teacher. That's it, there's nothing more to the joke than 'a woman was raped by a person in a position of power over her' and you're supposed to think it's funny. Never watch Allen Gregory.

Except, you know, good. All I'm seeing here is the Equestria Girls version of Twilight Sparkle and an off-model Gir. Is that intentional?

I was probably extra disappointed because all I heard about it before seeing it was that it was made by the same guys who made Cowboy Bebop and aside from having space as a setting they are not alike at all. I would say the writing is about on par with Kricfalusi's but is considerably grosser, probably somewhere in between the original and the Spike TV version. I'm not a huge fan of it but it has some good moments, it's a shitload better than stuff like Allan Gregory or Drawn Together and you can reasonably compare it to Ren and Stimpy, though not as good IMO. It just feels sort of cheap and low budget. The story behind it is that Gainax's staff decided to make it as a joke while drunk in a hottub. It's much better than you would expect, but still. If you do watch it you should watch both the sub and the dub, they essentially rewrote the entire script because none of the jokes translate into English, and the dub script is somehow just as good as the original. icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jun 30, 2014 |

It's fun, beautifully animated (each episode has a different animation director so you get a lot of cool styles), and occasionally thought provoking. Just don't except it to always take itself seriously (the main characters all die in about half the episodes)or have a dramatic plot.

Calling someone who doesn't like anime "GBSian" suggests that they haven't looked at GBS in a long while. Which is probably also, good for your health.

Late to this discussion but Panty and Stocking kind of violently went between being brilliant and being absolutely awful. It also brutally made fun of anime while also just sort of doing the things it was making fun of. It was an odd series that, as was mentioned, at the very least has the best most trollish ending ever. The only episode I ever really go back to is the Seinfeld inspired one though. Unrelated, this apparently exists and looks amazingly ugly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbXEKZVonko&t=27s axelblaze fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jul 2, 2014 |

Yeah it really is, I don't know why they couldn't have gone with a style closer to the games - the hyper-realistic style they went for just looks kind of unsettling.

It amazes me how the series has an already established style and they decide to make it realistic looking. I guess they want to show off their skills but goddamn does Bentley and Murray look really loving weird. Especially being able to see Bentley's eyes.
