Man, I've literally never worked anywhere that offers paid sick leave. The idea is that you're thankful they don't fire you for taking time off instead.

As someone who actually thinks The Lion King is sort of overrated (it's good but it wouldn't be like top 5 material or anything) that shot of the wildebeests coming over the side of the cliff is loving incredible.

On episode 9 of Mob Psycho 100 and if it were any longer than it is I would've dropped it by now. I just don't think this show is very good. And any time something cool or a character that I like is introduced they disappear.

And in this episode I've seen a scary evil boss say "kthx" and a guy call someone "noob." Did some fansubs slip into Crunchyroll by accident?

No, the "scary evil boss" is just kind of a petty, childish person. That's the point.

e: IIRC the Japanese they're using is 2ch slang to begin with, so "kthx" and "noob" is as close to the spirit of what they're saying as you're gonna get

What I get from this is that The Hunchback of Notre Dame has some of the most utterly beautiful shots I've ever seen, holy poo poo. It's been so long since I've seen it, and when I did see it, I wasn't a film fan and couldn't really apprehend how impressive the filmatic elements were.

Fair enough if you don't like it, but I get the feeling you might be approaching this show from the wrong angle. It's not really about cool characters or scary evil bosses so much as a story about a shy kid with an unusual talent going through middle school. It just happens to feature the occasional doofus who is eager to sell themself as cool and important.

I think it's telling that an early antagonist, who later goes on to strangle a kid that's maybe five inches shorter than him, refers to himself as the "main character."

I wonder how the VHS releases have colored peoples thoughts of the Disney animated films. They look entirely different on blu-ray.

Nah, I'm approaching it fine. "Cool" means something I like, not that they have a skateboard and a sick 'tude. Every time the show introduces something I like it abandons it to focus on a terrible character like Mob's brother. And the show is very much not about what you said. The first couple episodes were and then it was about boring nonsense. It's a real letdown to go directly from YOI to this.

What is it you didn't like about Mob's brother? I personally found him to be an understandable and compelling character, even when he was acting reprehensibly.

I don't mean to come across as pestering you for not liking a show that I liked, but I'm genuinely interested in your opinion.

Correction, every 2D Disney move had their own aesthetic.

All of their recent 3D efforts (Tangled, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Moana) are very similar in style and animation techniques. They each have individual focus (Frozen has it's snow and ice, BH6 is all about lighting, Moana is water and hair) but the underlying groundwork is the same.

I will say that the anime does skip a whole bunch of character development stuff so they could pack everything into 12 episodes, so it is a somewhat abridged version of a more fleshed out story. So while the anime is really drat pretty and does cheery pick the best moments, I still prefer the manga.

But if it's not for you then it's not for you, though if you do make it to the end and don't think Reigen's the best then I'm honestly not sure what you are looking for.

I've been looking for a good podcast and/or Instagram account related to Looney Tunes - tributes and discussions on all the classic shorts. I assumed being as popular as it is, it wouldn't be so difficult - but I haven't been able to find anything.

There's tons of film podcasts, and even animation podcasts, but nothing specifically to Looney Tunes.
Can anyone help out?

IShallRiseAgain posted:

Wouldn't Tumblr be better than Instagram for that sort of thing?

You may be right - I'll look into that. Thanks!
But my main search was for podcasts, as I think there'd be tons to dive into with each cartoon, and would be great for my commute to work.

Any animation-related podcasts I find are more strictly geared towards Disney and/or children's films and never has a film-geek's approach. It's more "Frozen is so cute!" type of discussions.

You could put Hopps and Rapunzel together and with a wardrobe switch in either direction, they could easily come from the same stylistic universe. Hell, put a newsboy on Pascal, a coat on Sven and a T and shorts on Pua. They'd right at home in Zoo. If you ignore the "no domestics" rule, Mochi would blend right in too. And the focus of Zoo was fur, so it fits.
Maximus would be a bounty hunter.
