mllaneza posted:More likely it's low-level animators who don't have the equipment at home to do their work. Your VA has an agent and a career, it's on them to have a good mic and recording space if they're WFH. A junior animator would need a good monitor, mid-range PC, and probably a good tablet to WFH. That good mic and recording space is usually at the studio and that doesn't help for mob or minor voice stuff who may not be prominent enough to have their agent get them a space to do that. Even if the VAs did WFH, it loops back around to the same issues animators would have for the sound engineers which assumes that they have a set up that works as opposed to the recording studio. It's basically theoretically hosed at multiple levels depend on what they can and can't do at home.

Actors who do a lot of VA work like Patrick Warburton often set up recording studios in their houses. Even doing VA work in a studio, there's glass between the speaker and the tech. Just wipe stuff down. The guy who says "let's do that again" fifty-seven times can still do that from home with no pants on.

Uhh, I'm too lazy to dig up a source but I think the original order was 26 episodes and the showrunners decided to split it into two seasons for the sake of pacing.

They don't in Japan because there's a whole "you work at work, you relax at home" culture there where the bosses want to have oversight and VAs often record in groups at the studio. Plus there's the whole thing with most Japanese homes being tiny affairs compared to Western homes. No room to really setup a personal studio.

The small amount of clips I saw for Harley Quinn made me assume it was like a lot of the DC Animated stuff which always seemed to be trying too hard to be edgy and "adult" without really grasping what that actually meant. I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally watched the show that it's not just good for a DC animated show, it's just flat out a good show. Harley and her crew rule a whole lot, and her and Ivy's supportive friendship is the best.

Xelkelvos posted:A bunch of anime's been delayed because of Covid so I wouldn't hold my breath on that. There's not a specifically listed reason why, but my personal guess is inability to do VA stuff. It's apparently mostly a combination of the VAs (for reasons I stated above) and Foley work. Foley work requires both a very good recording setup and a workshop of items used to reproduce sounds. It's not feasible to do from home. EDIT: That and a lot of the inbetween animating companies being located in South Korea and China where the heaviest shutdowns have been enforced.

Oh yeah, thinking about it further, In-betweens would also need a lot of data work for a job that's effectively the lowest on the totem pole, so even if they could send them digitally, they definitely don't have the gear to do any animation.

I don't know why it made me laugh as much as it did, but him quietly taking a seat in the audience and then getting over-excited and having to be calmed down during the Tawny show revealing Robin lied about being Harley's nemesis just killed me. The fact that it seems like the show has no issue with knocking over some sacred cows and actually changing up the status quo is also very refreshing. Harley killing Penguin (early season 2 spoilers since OscarDiggs just mentioned they were getting started) genuinely shocked me since I expected some last minute getaway or other bullshit to keep him around for future episodes.

Stargirl owns, pass it on. Unapologetically cheesy and sweet. Definite whiplash considering I just got through Amazon' s The Boys and Starlight on that show is the small-town blonde with a heart of gold... and here's the de-Ennis'd, YA version of her story. That's not the best comparison, though. I enjoyed the Stargirl-era JSA comics and this is basically live-action JSA with her at the center, which is fine and dandy.

Hypocrisy posted:They're setting up some sort of her father was actually one of the villains that Christmas Eve twist right? It's also not clear what the current situation is with regard to super-powered people. Obviously some of those old supervillains are still around, but maybe not using their powers for some reason? It certainly felt like we're supposed to infer that there have been no other super heroes since the JSA, and obviously it's not a world under the ruthless thrall of a coalition of unopposed supervillains. And I'm not sure exactly what tone they're going for, because bits of it seemed to be leaning way more toward the Powerless/The Tick style of open parody, but other bits seemed to be played pretty much straight. But that's probably just one of those things where the first episode is the writers figuring stuff out. The show is pretty good so far though. Not Harley Quinn good, but quite possibly the second-best DC Universe show so far. Possibly the second-best DCCW show too (behind LoT).

Stargirl is not for me, because they showed their hand in the first episode and very clearly telegraphed that they're not interested in anything but clichéd characters and motw stand-alone episodes with only a light dusting of a seasonal arc. All power to you if you enjoy that kind of show, but I need something more character developy and with a lot more sense of wonder (kind of strange a show about literal superheroes is so lacking in that).

I haven't watched Stargirl or plan to but, I mean, pilots are often pretty rough. I wouldn't write off anything that's not absolutely dire until they're midway into their first season.

Uhh, I dunno about that one. Got a strong sense that it'll be like all the other DC universe shows, where it's both serialised and with a strong sense of the individual episode. (If you want some more evidence of this, there's the cliffhanger ending and the fact that the show has a massive cast, most of whom have maybe three lines in the pilot. It's going to be heavily seralised.)

Stargirl was really fun, I can't wait to see where the season goes. I have a huge love for the mid 2000s JSA comic and this felt so much like that, all the villains we saw and the reverence that Pat had for the JSA. Here's hoping that the JSA isn't totally dead, because my own pet theory is that: the shadowy black hand was from The Shade, and didn't actually kill anybody, just teleported them away

Saw the DC Showcase with Adam Strange; it wasn't the clean cut explorer version, but seems to be adapted from the Black Label series; now he's the town drunk in some alien mining colony populated by fellow Earthmen. They seem to imply that the Zeta Beam now just caroms randomly through the galaxy like a giant pinball game, and he still needs to jump into it to travel, and if he stays long enough in one spot it will eventually come back to him. But at one point it takes him away from Rann by homing in on him and dumps him on mining planet?! It gets a meh rating from me just because it feels inconsistent, not much of a teaser and would have been better as a mini-series, shamelessly steals the gory bug concept from Starship Troopers.

Stargirl was fine. I'm not really a fan of the down home small town stuff, and the premise seems a bit thin they moved to Cornhole Nebraska because the people who killed the JSA relocated there? That can support maybe a season, but it's gonna end up like one of those bad CWDC seasons where the villain keeps getting away because the heroes have to talk out their issues rather than you know, securing the mass murdering super powered being Also when did Zatan become a villain? I assume that's who the magician at the mansion was. Actually there's something that can get me really into the show, Zatana becoming her bfff
