but if you're watching it on Youtube then you probably wouldn't feel bad about watching it on a streaming site.

Alvin was fun, but David Faustino as Dagur the Deranged has been, and always will be, funnier. Back then, the contrast between his two biggest voice-acting roles (Dagur and Mako from the Legend of Korra) was really fun!

The season 2 premiere of Star Vs. the Forces of Evil aired today. It's a great show that I didn't give a fair shake at first because it looked a bit too twee for my tastes but has pleasantly surprised me with its quality. One of the new episodes that aired today was a cool sort of "redemption" of a joke character that had lots of silence and focus on the natural setting that all felt very Samurai Jack-ish.

Between the unicorn in Star's wand going feral (that puts a bummer on this specific Deus Ex Machina) and Ludo finding a new wand built around the broken half of Star's wand, they're setting up some spooky things for that season.

I'm kinda curious how Ludo intends to use the wand now that he has one. He's obviously a lot wiser and more self reliant than he was, so will that effect his initial plan to get a bigger body and start randomly wrecking poo poo?

VolticSurge posted:Oh,thank God. I thought that I was the only person who liked the MiB show. I liked it because I thought some of the alien designs were pretty cool,and I loved K and J's banter. I also thought Alpha was a pretty neat villain-grafting alien parts to himself,until he barely looks human. They also managed to do a lot with only two movies. I came around the time when the strangest films were made into children's cartoons, y'know, stuff they would have seen like Rambo, Stargate or Robocop, and usually even they have their failings because there's this PG-7 barrier they can't go over to get into the stuff that was cool to the kids. But not MiB: The Series. I mean they of course had loop holes like freaky alien weapons and creatures you could blow their head off because it easily grew back, but it played off conspiracy theory stuff way over my head at the time while smirking like a bastard carrying the right tone of self-aware sarcastic humor. Which was set by Kay being voiced by Gregg Berger or Cornfed from Duckman. It was also has one of the only good Christmas episodes I can remember pre 21st century as even when Elves, celebrities and everything else were aliens, His Majesty, Saint Nicholas, was a magical earthling that superseded government authority and the MIB were duty bound to aid him over their own mission. Because he's Santa Claus, he's been taken hostage and we're going to make sure he gets presents to people and Save Christmas. BioEnchanted posted:I think my favourite thing about Jackie Chan adventures was the interview segment early on where Jackie admitted that he always wanted to be a cartoon character to be able to do ridiculous stunts that were physically impossible in real life. Then he got money and decided "gently caress it! Let's be cartoons!" The show had to run out of steam sometime. I'm just glad Jackie had fun with it and apparently the dude who did him in the toon is still doing work, but they were going to burn out sooner or later so at least they took the highroad and ended it.

And the show was actually interesting and funny for right up until the poor final season, but at least everything up until Shendu's son was cool. I liked Tarakudo for the continuity and I liked the idea that Uncle had to step down as the family shaman and allow Toru to step forth because he knew very little about Tarakudo as he was a Japanese demon and he was versed mainly in Chinese mythology. Also it was cool seeing the different types of Shadowkhan.

Teaser art for the new Ducktales: Have we known who is working on this? Either way I just found out now and it sounds like a solid staff so far. From here: https://d23.com/ducktales-news-that-makes-you-say-woo-oo/?share_token=2781716f7b quote:Scrooge McDuck, grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Donald Duck will, of course, star in the new series, which will be executive-produced by Annie Award nominee Matt Youngberg (Ben 10: Omniverse). Rounding out the creative team are story editor and co-producer Francisco Angones (Disney XD’s Emmy®-nominated Wander Over Yonder) and art director Sean Jimenez (Disney XD’s Annie Award-winning Gravity Falls).

Emmy Cicieregia is storyboarding for Ducktales, which implies at least some of the Gravity Falls and Wander Over Yonder teams, as mentioned in that press release, transitioned over to the new show. Art design looks great. Disney TV animation has been on the rise. I'm on board.

Looks good, and it seems like Donald is going to have a larger role in this one than he did in the original (where I believe he showed up in a few episodes early on, then dissapeared entirely later in the show's run). Do we know anything about the new voice cast yet? I'm assuming Tony Anselmo will continue to voice Donald, not sure if they'll recast the triplets though.

It looks like they're going to try to differentiate the three ducklings. It seems wrong to make the green one's thing greed, because that's Scrooge's schtick.

I'm liking the art style too. Another notable name behind the new Ducktales: John Aoshima, who's directed a bunch of episodes of Gravity Falls. Also, Frank Angones has an amusing blog post about his own passion for Ducktales: http://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/147707786341/here-in-duckburg Pakled fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jul 21, 2016 |

Man, they really took Legend of Korra in a different direction for the new season. Varrick being a blond Australian takes some getting used to, and the Avatar Form manifesting as a giant robot was an... interesting decision, but at least good old Bolin hasn't changed.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the new season because, while not as good as the first half of the first season, it's an improvement over the second half.

The second part of Star's first season holds some of my favorite episodes. So far, I like season 2 but I'm kind of afraid that the focus is being shifted away from Star. She was the star in the first episode, but then Ludo was the star of the second one and Star was relegated to the B-plot for episode 3 and 4, with Marco leading the important parts of the episode.

The writing on the 2nd half is a bet better than the first, I feel (though yeah, it got jarring after they stopped exclusivity using Mercury, though I'm pretty sure they used both studios instead of a full blown switch). This season it animated at the old reliable but not amazing Rough Draft Korea, (along with some other korean studio)

Rewatching the finale of season 1, I just realized that the rock and the bone from which Ludo's new wand is created were already beside the cleaved piece at the end of season 1.

Really good first part to the latest episode, but I found the second part boring. Glossaryck continues to be hilarious and Oskar is almost certainly confirmed to be some sort of hippie/hobo who lives in his car. And apparently lives in random people's driveways. Excited for next week's episode and Ludo's first experience with his evil wand.

I didn't watch every episode of Star season 1, but the only one that struck me as having low animation quality was Royal Pain. It's very obviously got more Flash-y tween motions vibe that anything else I saw. And it aired next to Freeze Day, which was a lot more dynamic-looking.

Anyone else notice the lack of background music for a lot of Star VS episodes? Sometimes it fits but a lot of the time it feels kinda weird. Cartoons have had me so trained to listen for incidental music that it's a little jarring when you suddenly don't hear it at all.

I watched it for about a minute because I was waiting for 'We Bare Bears' to come on and within that minute I could instantly tell it's one of those awful Canadian imports. Art style and sound effects were straight out of 'Johnny Test.' Come on, CN, get your poo poo together.

It was really really jarring in the field trip episode. It's like they just stopped the music about halfway through and it really disrupted the episode, IMO. That was also one of the first ones where I noticed a measurable decline in art and animation quality.

Is We Bare Bears getting another full week of new episodes like Steven Universe or are they going back to once a week after this? Good to see them back regardless. Catchiest theme song in all of TV.

Change up in animation studios (the good animation is from the Canadian Mercury Filmworks, the sucky animation is from the Fillipino Toon City). Season 2 uses a completely different pair of studios (both Korean) that produce serviceable (but not Mercury Filmworks quality) animation: Rough Draft Korea and Sugarcube E: oh god who gave me this avatar (I'm not complaining but still)
