So Defunctland has a pretty neat documentary series on Jim Hensen's work in the entertainment history and his attempts to broaden the appeal of puppetry and all that fun stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVoGf1JTVeI

I should probably mention the series isn't finished yet, probably will be with an episode next week, but yeah the dude's pretty good at the whole documentary style thing. It's also free from comedic or sarcastic or really any kinda asides for people that aren't into that sorta stuff.

If you like Defunctland's videos on the extinct theme park attractions, Yesterworld has more interesting ones to watch, too. His video on Beastly Kingdom is a great supplement to the Jenny Nicholson one on the Avatarland that was built in its place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJbNZmPiNmQ

If you liked "The Medium is the Message" then you'll just love "some art is just objectively good via magic, actually."

trigger has been involved in precisely two TV shows worth talking about and KLK sure isn't one of them, especially after six years.

Motto posted:trigger has been involved in precisely two TV shows worth talking about and KLK sure isn't one of them, especially after six years. Unless you're a giant animation nerd, of course, because they showcased some really impressive poo poo in that series. Especially Episode 4, which was a masterclass in what you can do with extremely limited animation. LWA is a more palatable watch that's less likely to freak out your roommate if you're into that sort of thing, though.

I think LWA is the only show they've ever made that's worth a watch. It also has thr major advantage of not falling apart at the end like all their other shows.

I thought Gridman was ok, but the very obvious fanservice was a bit of a downer, and I don't remember most of the characters' names.

Dabir posted:Would that be this director? I'm prepared to go a little easier on it because it's very specifically aimed at horny, confused teenagers of about that age with a message directly about teenage emotional issues in much the same way as NGE was. KLK, on the other hand, makes no bones about being a show for adults who want to ogle animated teenagers. I mean, yeah, intellectually, it's a weird thing to see adults talking about how to inject sex appeal into a show aimed at teens, but on the other hand, it's absolutely what a teenage audience tends to want because it's an important and confusing new part of their life that they would appreciate having the art they consume reflect back at them (hence the prevalence of incredibly filthy fanfiction of pretty much anything that's popular with teenagers).

Hot take, there're only about 5 good anime right now. Kirby Right Back at ya!, Flying Witch, Mob Psycho 100, Undertale and Devil May Cry. Tons of great Manga though. And everything else is garbage for people like me! I throw it on the ground and then I get in there and eat the garbage! I'm the trashman! Also, the best part of KLK is the fanart of the main girl drawing Shadow the Hedgehog as her original character.
