Saying nothing of how Sailor Moon got shat on via Crystal. Toei need to reveal they're giving the reins to someone who cares before I even start to care,

Y-Hat posted:Did anyone see the final episode of Phineas and Ferb? The AV Club review said it was disappointing because it left so many questions unanswered. Maybe if there was a one-week episode bomb like Cartoon Network did with Adventure Time and Steven Universe (and are currently doing with Regular Show), they wouldn't have had this problem. But we all know how bad Disney is with show scheduling- even Phineas and Ferb got screwed over in its last couple of years. The second-to-last episode was good, mostly for the mid-life crisis B-plot. Wrapping up the Phineas/Isabella love story was obvious fanservice, but it was cute all the same. I saw it and thought that the two episodes were fine. P&F has never been the kind of show that demands explanations for its weirdness so I'm fine not knowing things like why the universe wants Candace to fail. My only real complaint is that I would have liked to see the gang directly confront Doofenshmirtz (sp??) at least once (the movie was an evil twin so it doesn't count). The finale would have been a great place to have that happen.

What's even worse is they "fixed" a lot of the glaring errors in the Blu-Ray release. It's "eh, we'll fix it in post" taken to its worst extreme.

This actually happens a most anime where after it's done airing they'll fix animation errors during the Blu-Ray release. However, most of those are probably because the deadlines for aired animes are insane but Crystal was biweekly soooooo....

I don't have context for any of those images, but it's not like anime is immune to cherrypicking bad cels that end up looking fine in motion. Crystal still sucks though. And yeah, it's normal for anime BDs/DVDs to have better quality than the tv broadcasts, sometimes to an unbelievable degree. Anime production can be a clusterfuck, so sometimes a show has some bad moments/episodes.

Can we talk about how awesome Hey Arnold was? Loved the show as a kid, still really enjoy it as an adult. I always wondered where the show would have gone had it continued on the original planned pace with the movie ending and a continuation series.

Hey Arnold is the realest loving show and most certainly my pick for best cartoon of the 90s. Every character had at least some sort of story to them, and there were morals that weren't completely opaque and blunt like so many other shows. One-shot characters like Stoop Kid and Monkeyman and Pigeon Man all had a bunch of depth and were super interesting and I mean poo poo just chill the gently caress out and play this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6PdWG_KbsA

There was a time when there wasn't an hour of the day when at least one Disney network wasn't showing an episode, then suddenly new episodes are randomly aired at random days and random times with no prior warning. readingatwork posted:I saw it and thought that the two episodes were fine.

He's so incompetent at being a bad guy that he gets foiled every day by a platypus. He can't even convince his ex-wife that he's genuinely evil. I wish they would keep making Doofenshmirtz's Daily Dirt though. I could listen to him rant about the internet all day. raditts fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jun 25, 2015 |

Digimon Tri is a continuation of Adventure 02, but apparently without the extra kids that show revolved around but with the stupid ending everyone hated. Which means it's a show about 18-year-olds with digital pets. Also, all the art released so far has a bad case of same face. The kindest thing I can say is that the bait and switch of movies instead of a series means Tri will be awful for a shorter period of time. I don't know why they didn't just reboot the show, like every other graying franchise over there. Yes, I am bitter that Izzy/Koushirou will likely be relegated to explaining stupid plot points to dummards instead of having any character development and Mimi will likely be written out again. Jou probably won't be in it much either.

The original Digimon adventure ending with Tai not ending up with what's her name is funny. Like the creator wanted to do it so it wouldn't be predictable but almost no one else involved had any idea.

Finding out that Arnold's parents are actually alive in the jungle somewhere and he goes to rescue them and the big twist ending is that his last name actually is "Shortman" and it's not just a term of endearment from his Grandpa is the kind of thing that's funny to read about after the fact but probably wouldn't have meshed at all with the actual show.

In retrospect it very much feels like The Simpsons in the way that they created such a big cast of characters and was able to use them all to great effect. If anything it's even more impressive because Hey Arnold is so much more grounded and small-scale. achillesforever6 posted:And Grandpa beat up Hitler and single handedly won WWII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByZ1-8eLCW4&t=646s

ArmyOfMidgets posted:One of Clarence's main friends, Jeff, has two mothers too. For all legal stuff CN has them as "two females who live together and are both the legal guardians of Jeff" to be vague enough for countries where it's actually illegal to depict homosexual relationships, but the "sub"text is clear enough. Clarence is pretty fun. According to the AV Club review, two things the reviewer wanted to see were closure to Meep and Peter the Panda. I have no idea why, because those were just fun little things in a couple of episodes and not full-blown plot devices that regularly showed up.

I wonder how much of a train wreck it was backstage on that show. It seems like managing a bunch of different technical equipment on a low budget show in the 90s would be a nightmare. Add to that the standard problems of working with small children.
