Applewhite posted:When they switched from Mercury Filmworks to Toon City Animation the drop in quality was enough to ruin the series for me. I was seriously bummed out. 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 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)

MrSlam posted:I noticed the drop in animation too. I wonder if it was a budget thing or a time-crunch thing? 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)

drrockso20 posted:That and the weird Lemongrab/Lemonhope plot turned me off the show quite hard, cause the former has left a huge gaping hole in Finn's personality even now that he's mostly over it(doesn't help that Finn's competence at pretty much anything has almost completely disappeared at this point, really comes off as the staff not liking him anymore, and that the only reason they haven't written him off is cause he's technically still the main character, even if the show is barely about him anymore), while the latter just felt completely nonsensical even by this show's standards(really don't get why PB went ahead with the whole Lemonhope plot when it would have been simpler and easier to just have Finn or Rattleballs take Lemongrab down, the latter could have done it in seconds in fact, actually there's been a ton of situations since Rattleballs' debut that could have easily been resolved by him, and instead we haven't seen him at all since, without even the slightest bit of explanation as to why PB hasn't been using him despite him being her most potent resource) seasons 6 and 7 return the focus back to finn

readingatwork posted:Yeah. It's gotten better recently but the series never fully recovered from loosing Pen Ward's amazing sense of humor. I think it MIGHT have done ok by leaning on the story and becoming a more plot-driven affair, but unfortunately the staff had never actually gamed out where they were going with anything so the series just sort of floundered around doing whatever until it had driven its entire fanbase over to SU. It's a shame too because the show had a ton of potential at one point. I've heard that Pen was actually the one who encouraged the change in direction in the first place (He's still on the show, though he stopped being involved in outlines after Stakes, outside of The Music Hole, whose outline also involved Pat McHale, who had left AT back in mid-season 5 and was heavily involved in the show's writing prior to leaving)

Crabtree posted:I'd say Adventure Time has outlived its usefulness and its time to put it down. It's already being replaced in both sort of action and comedy by returning legacy shows or the new forefronters like Gumball or Steven Universe. Anything that AT could do now it either couldn't pull off or other shows have already beaten it to the punch. Give it a Titans in Tokyo send off movie and let it die. Both AT and RS haven't gotten the best treatment from the network: They never air episodes outside of premiers, premiers can be about as spotty as SU (RS gets better treatment in this regard than AT but still), and they were both moved to a saturday block (until it became apparent that doing so caused ratings to tank). Yet paradoxially (given how RS is slightly treated better by the network than AT), AT is getting a season 9 while RS isn't

plus 98% of finn's relationship moping stopped after Breezy (only showing up a few more times). Like off the top of my head I can name The Mountain (where it wasn't the focus), Flute Spell (which had a different relationship), and Bun Bun (which was essentially it's resolution, with Finn and FP being on good, non-romantic terms again) with a nod to it in Hall of Egress and if I'm missing other examples then they're probably just one or two more Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Aug 21, 2016 |

readingatwork posted:Yes but then it replaced that with Fin moping over his daddy issues for the rest of season 6. Then in Season 7 he breaks Fin-Sword and is currently all mopey about that. his finn sword moping was only for two episodes (I am a Sword and Music Hole, the latter appearing to mostly serve as an end to said moping) and that was late into the season anyways though it looks like his mother is gonna be involved with the next season so maybe he'll mope about that. to be honest I didn't catch up with adventure time until mid-season 6 so I breezed through most of the relationship moping instead of wading through it week to week Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Aug 21, 2016 |

It seemed like they had gotten over it and were trying to do weekly episodes again for a bit, but nope. Actually it started with an Adventure Time bomb around thanksgiving the year prior after that show's first long hiatus (they even had a simultaneous clarence/UG bomb that december, still piror to the first steven bomb) Maybe it started with Over the Garden Wall, now that I think about it

raditts posted:I'm not sure I like its effect on modern cartoons as far as character design goes though. It works for Adventure Time because it was different at the time, but it comes off ugly as hell in some of the knockoff styles. It's still artsy-fartsy at times, but the angst isn't a general theme the same way it was with season 6. The crew mentioned that the season 7 finale (whenever it comes  ) is gonna set the events of seasons 8 and 9 into motion

misadventurous posted:I guess I can kind of get just being sick of it, I just really appreciate how the people making it keep trying their damndest to keep it fresh. It feels like every episode they're trying to show me a different thing that can happen in Ooo, and I like that they experiment even if it doesn't always work. It was never not going to be at least 8 seasons, it just made too much money for CN, and it's still not really like anything else you can watch. pretty much my view as well

I mean that's just a guess, but they apparently won't say where it's airing yet. I know that WB's making a show for Disney XD now (a sketch comedy show called Right Now Kapow) and given how all their non-TTG series aren't treated that well by CN it wouldn't be a surprise if they tried branching out to netflix

Like am I missing something or is this just the internet being dumb because there's a few shows on they don't like?

I know the franchise is still big but I always took CN's airing it early in the morning more of a reflection of viewer demands.
