Yeah, the animation in Star was nice, but the writing really felt like an early 2000s attempt to sound "wacky". It kept falling on old, old character tropes and pointless character conflict that's been done a million times. Whereas something like AT or Gravity Falls has that genuinely youthful voice. The show's creator, Daron Nefcy, is pretty young, so I don't know if she had older writers tacked onto her show, or just sucks at writing.

I don't know, I just got around to watching it and I found it pretty charming. The animation is great and some of the sillier gags like Marco's tiny sun immediately turning into a raincloud were pretty funny. I guess to an extent it comes down to your tolerance for wackiness, which is gonna be a big problem in a show about a literal manic pixie dream girl.

I thought it was okay. There were good jokes in between the "wacky" jokes that tried too hard. I Liked the unicorn head's passive-aggressiveness and when the skeleton in the spike pit came to life and joined in mocking the kid. Was caught off-guard by "your mother's a horse," but I laughed when the unicorn girl was like "yeah, and?" Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 20, 2015 |

I can live with it if it's mostly her doing stupid stuff with her magic and it and things around it catching fire (sometimes literately) as a result.

Felt it was pretty okay also, but the whole princess school thing has me curious. Honestly I didn't think much of Steven Universe at first and look where we are, so I'm willing to bet that Star will get more interesting as time goes on. The music is as good as the animation, so that helps.

Star was decent. My one complaint was that the shows villains (so far) kind of suck. Not a huge issue since Star doesn't really have a plot but it still bugs me (Villains that are too stupid/weak/incompetent to actually pose a threat is a pet peeve of mine).

It's...odd that the top henchman had a Russian accent. It's like we're back in the 80s again. Mostly the show seemed like an animated equivalent of those live-action sitcoms Disney runs these days.

I watched the "Star" premier which was... decent, I guess. (I honestly want a series about the School for Troubled Magical Girls instead.) I watched the Amazon Pilot for "Niko and the Sword of Light" immediately after and enjoyed it a great deal more. Any thoughts? It felt a lot like the early days of "Avatar: the Last Airbender".

I got this impression as well. Niko and the Sword of Light felt a lot like Amazon's answer to both Adventure Time and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Also, did anyone else get a major Don Bluth vibe from NatSoL? Niko himself not so much, but the creature designs came off as very "Bluthy" to me. Not that that's a bad thing, but it clashes a teensy bit with Niko's own more polished design.

I saw a few clips of Niko and the Sword of Light, and I can't really get into it. Not a fan of the art style and it comes off as this very weird hybrid between flash and traditional animation. The comparisons to Avatar seem a little too on the nose. The designs on the lead characters head is very similar to Aang's. Also, holy gently caress, Jim Cummings is in this? I haven't heard the guy appear in any show in years. Thought he retired or something.

Lorewalker Cho from Warcraft, Like 10 guys in Skyrim and tons of other stuff.

This talk of Jim Cummings reminds me of a documentary that everyone in this thread should watch. It's called "I Know That Voice" and it's about, obviously, voice-acting. It's put together by John DiMaggio and has just about every big-name VA that's working right now. It's starts way at the beginning with Mel Blanc and Looney Toons, and even includes things like anime-dubbing and video game voice-acting. My only complaint is that there could have been more women interviewed, but it's still completely recommended for animation lovers. It's on Netflix, so sorry if you're the only person in the world that doesn't have it.

I dunno, I'm pretty good at recognizing voice actors (been following the industry for 15 years now). The better explanation is that I haven't watched/played any of those things he's been in recently. But yeah, the man is amazing.

One TV channel banned a cartoon episode because it tells children to not fear spiders. To be fair, it's an Australian TV channel.

I went back and started watching Flapjack again, and it holds up really well. There's all sorts of mixed animation styles, and the weird surrealist horror segments are still pretty good.
