 What-O Daddy-O? OK K.O!: Let's Be Heroes is a new show on Cartoon Network created by RPG World creator and known Goon Ian Jones-Quartey of Venture Bros, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, Adventure Time, and Steven Universe fame, with Toby Jones of Regular Show and AJ's Infinite Summer fame as Supervising Director. It follows the adventures of K.O., a brave young lad who lives in a world that runs on anime and video game tropes. Wasn't this Lakewood Plaza Turbo? What took so long? Apparently the story goes that CN, after seeing the pilot, wanted to pull a Tak & the Power of JuJu and make a video game adaption first. Hence the mobile game OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo (it's free with optional ads). There's also another game being produced for home consoles that's coming out soon. Sweet Diggety-Nipples! Where and when can I watch it! While the show's proper premier is on August 1st, the first 6 episodes are already on CN's website, app, and video on demand services (with the first two eps not requiring a cable login), while the first two are also available on Itunes and likely other similar places. Characters  K.O. (Inconsistently voiced by Stephanie Nadolny and Courtenay Taylor) A hot-blooded, naive boy who's ready to rumble.  Enid (Voiced by Ashley Burch) A martial artist already burnt out by the service industry.  Radicles (Voiced by Ian Jones-Quartey) A meatheaded alien who seems to mask his insecurities under a dudebro demeanor. Friends with  Mr. Gar (Voiced by David Herman) The trio's boss, and owns not only Gar's Bodega but the plaza in general. Dislikes slackers and despises both evildoers and cheapskates. Has a crush on K.O.'s mom.  Carol (Voiced by Kate Flannery) K.O.'s doting single mother and owner of a dojo. Has a past with Mr. Gar.  Lord Boxman (Voiced by Jim Cummings) The owner of Boxmore and rival of the plaza. Hates friendship because if everyone's friends with eachother, then who will need buy his evil robots? Shorts Made prior to the full show (the first three to promote the mobile game and re-pitch the show to the network, the rest made at the start of the full show's production), these shorts use a variety of different animation studios and art styles, primarily Science Saru and Studio Yotta K.O.

The good news is that when the series premiers next week, they'll also premier episodes 7-10 (and not just the 6 already available on the ep) The bad news (at least it's not bad news for OK KO though) is

Quick reminder (for those who didn't tune in the past 2 days due to seeing the eps on the app ahead of time): The new episodes are premiering at 6:10 (immediately after the new Teen Titans Go), not 6: 15

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Yeah, what's up with that, exactly? It's not noticeable at all, but it's very weird that they do that. Rand Brittain posted:Do we know why KO alternates between two voice actors? the only episodes of the final show with Nadolny (who also voiced KO in the pilot, mobile game, and early shorts) as VA so far are We Messed Up, Jethro's All Yours, and Just Be a Pebble, which all fall into the first four episodes produced, as well as You're Level 100 (9th ep produced). a boarder recently posted an animatic from the first ep that also had Nadolny's voice instead of Taylor's, but why they didn't redub Nadolny the episodes I mentioned (and why she was replaced in the first place)?

Infinitum posted:What's the latest ep? 26? The we've got fleas ep. TKO was a half hour special, so some sources count it as 25 while other sources count it as 25/26, so Fleas is either listed as the 27th or 28th

CN released a bunch of halloween eps for their shows early on the app and website, no cable login required. This includes two ok ko eps: We Got Hacked Parents Day No out of order continuity errors either (heck, one ep appears to be an earlier one they put off airing till halloween time)

Meanwhile CN's website still has us in season 1 (apparently season 1's 26 half hours worth)

The interesting thing about the game (according to some interviews) is that the development crew was allowed access to the shows assets (most importantly the storyboards) as new eps were made while the show crew got to see what the game people were doing, allowing cross influence of ideas

Plus nearly all CN shows go on hiatus during the month of december. Plus OK KO is not the only show to have its hiatus run into january: the same applies to Teen Titans Go

nerdman42 posted:I'm kind of curious how many episodes are in this season if the upcoming episodes seem as typical fair as they do. 52 episodes seems like what a first season would be? Although I get the sense Ian and co don't particularly focus on things like season finales and season structure. 52 confirmed (though that includes the batch of shorts that got animated by one of the usual korean studios)

Let's Not be Skeletons had a lot of funny jokes, nice bouncy animation, and great songs (All like the other episodes from that board team), but the execution of the message was definitely of the "kinda bit off more than they could chew" type Actually thinking about it, each of the 4 board teams had it's own "Very Special episode" this season.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:i just can't really get behind the idea that they bit off more than they could chew, because Gargoyles was a kids show from 25 loving years ago that targeted broadly the same demographic and did a literally perfect episode on almost this exact topic. it was way, way more brutal than Let's Not Be Skeletons, but... that ended up selling the message more clearly. I think the main difference is that Gargoyles was a more mature action show
