I never watched the original cartoons but I do know there was an original anime version in the 70s, then an 80s version that was based on the original. And I think there were some other series in between then and now, maybe in the 90s. I'm not sure how/if all of these series tie in or if they're just remakes using the same character designs and/or stories.

Crowds is basically related to the original Gatchaman in name and stylistic choices only. The plot is essentially disconnected and otherwise original. It's also good.

Yeah if you're watching Crowds for Science Ninja fun you will leave bitterly disappointed.

Crowds is pretty interesting but not even really an action show, it's more about like, the internet and how the population at large responds to change.

I have absolutely no time for Hajime (Who is a stupid brat who's only spared from consequence by the writer) and the bit about online harassment (and how it related to the ... antagonist?) was about as cack-handed as I've ever seen the topic broached.

I've been watching My Hero Academia and One Punch Man lately so I've been looking for similar types of shows. Both of those are great if you're into the super hero genre (though I don't think they're really kid friendly).

Samurai Flamenco might be good for that, although it isn't exactly kid friendly either

Crowds is really solid, it's just that you need to drop all preconceptions if the word "Gatchaman" means anything to you. E: drrockso20 posted:Samurai Flamenco might be good for that, although it isn't exactly kid friendly either Samurai Flamenco is a bizarre thing that I have to recommend as flawed as it is. It's not great but it's something that needs to be seen.

It was an episode that aired today; something about Anais being the favorite child? And as Gumball says something about someone "finishing each other's--" "Sandwiches!" Darwin interrupts.

They also have that exchange in Frozen, so it might be a secondhand reference through that.

The "finish each other's sandwiches" line has been around for decades—I don't think it's a reference to anything in particular in Gumball. The Sussie gag in the dream episode was good, but I love that they occasionally throw in something really dark like Daisy's Anais-doll dream in the middle of all that wackiness.

 The Ben 10 reboot doesn't look like a real cartoon, it looks like a ripoff of the character you'd see on some random nursery rhyme Youtube channel.

Dr Christmas posted:It's disappointing that all the aliens are vaguely human-shaped bipeds. This is my biggest complaint (along with the omnitrix symbol being always on the chest because that sucks), look at the generic flying guy on the upper right, it's the redesign of this handsome dude  now he's just vaguely insect-like man. The only design that looks dynamic and stands out is Four-Arms, but that's a design too good to gently caress up. I wanted to give this show a chance but those designs legit look lazy and if they're going to the point of nearly homogenizing this alien roster into the same build with different sizes and chests then I don't have much hope for anything else they'll do.

Dr Christmas posted:It's disappointing that all the aliens are vaguely human-shaped bipeds. If they had a squid-alien I probably would've watched at least 3 of the 13 Ben10 series. edit: I like to think Azmuth the Omnitrix creator was racist against non-two legged aliens. Six or eight legs can be alright sometimes but only if they fight for their country and don't leech off the hard work of the two-legs.

Maybe they're going to do a TTG and make fun of the source material. ... is Ben 10 old enough for original audience to be able to appreciate that?

I feel like Ben10 started with a lot of potential, and then steadily all of the neat things about it drained away, and then they just keep remaking it. Somebody on Cartoon Network's staff really likes the show concept, but not enough to breathe real life into it.

I've always gotten the impression that Ben 10 is way bigger overseas than it is here, and that global popularity and merchandise sales are the reason why they keep making more of it, despite having virtually zero on-air presence in the US for years.

 Just like Ben, I am perpetually ten. PhazonLink posted:Isn't it basically a toy commercial? That's pretty much any male adolescent oriented action series. With Ben 10 they can at least make all the aliens and sell them on the show easily and neatly instead of having things like Spider-Man and his Helicopter.

My friend is boarding on the new Ben 10 and for that reason I hope it's good and has success. Honestly though they should have just made a Max Tennyson show because he's always the best part of that series.

Totally, I'm pretty sure either Omniverse or the final episode order of Ultimate Alien happened solely because overseas markets love Ben 10 so much. Heck, this show is gonna start this fall in the UK and other countries apparently. Wouldn't mind a TTG style comedy out of Ben 10 but, again, with these aliens I feel there's a lot of wasted potential, I mean if you're doing wacky comedy why cut out the dog alien? why wouldn't the bug one be gross? the ghost makes so much sense for silly short plots.

Part MiB, Part GI Joe. Dealing with your secretive paramilitary alien taskforce while starting a family. Too bad old characters aren't marketable

It's probably the closest the show ever came to being legitimately good.
