Hello Fatty!

Just finished The Hollow. The plot is full of holes, the animation is kind of janky, the dialog is often cringe-inducing and some of the direction/editing is just baffling (particularly the last 60 seconds where they have a twist, then flash back to before the show started to reveal... unrelated information we already kind of knew?). That said it kept my attention and had a fun ending which basically makes it the best cartoon ever to come out of Canada. Good job Canada!

Also, Kai does in fact become bearable as he becomes more useful/empathetic but you never completely stop wanting to kick him in the dick for being a dumbass. Seriously, who thought "guy who always makes the worst possible decision" was a good idea?

Few people from Star vs. as well, including director Sabrina Cotugno and boarder Zach Marcus. Show definitely looks like it has a good amount of talent behind it.

Hmmm...

I'm kinda entertained by (based on what little we've seen) how DeviantArt this kinda seems. Normal-come-magical girl type story, Goth-y setting and characters, fuzzy side character that acts inappropriate to its size. The only thing it's missing is a super overt, story derailing romances (with a 50/50 chance of them being hetero or queer), and Invader Zim inspired 'Random' humor.

No judgement against it, it's just kinda funny as this looks like the first show coming from someone born out of a 'very' distinct online culture.

I thought it just looked like Gravity Falls plus... I dunno, there's something very high-end 90s cartoon about it. And what looks like a Pokemon.

I'm reminded of how Phineas and Ferb's concept is like when you remember a bunch of cartoons from your childhood and they all get mashed together.

Part of that feeling is because of the fact that the creators first came up with the concept back in the 90's when they were still working on Rocko's Modern Life and then proceeded to spend the better part of 15 years trying to get a network to pick it up

Also why a lot of the main characters have such weird designs(especially compared to a lot of the background characters and characters introduced later in development, or to the style of Milo Murphy)

While to my understanding they didn't gently caress with Kinnikuman Nisei nearly as hard as usual, it'd be cool to have a release of it that isn't 4kids-ized.

It's sweet how he's gone from an arrogant, demanding cock of a rock star in his early appearances to Marinette's "dorky uncle", as someone described it.

Fun episode; weirdly not as cringeworthy for the audience on Marinette's behalf as the Comicon table read, which shows just how much a live audience adds to sitcom situations. (It'd be a strain on the animators' mice to do it that way, though. :haw: ) But dammit, girl, he was totally asking you on a date at the end there. At least she didn't completely blow it like in 'Gigantitan'.

Edit: also love that the show is now so comfortable with its shorthands that we only need two bars of the Miraculous Romance Theme to know that Penny's in love with Jagged. :3:

The Marvel one was terrible, but I loved the Star Wars one that's like 80% injokes and doesn't actually break canon. (Kinda)

That's pretty standard for Disney cartoons though, when they bother to acknowledge them. Huge while they're on TV, then straight in the vault.

4kids saved that show, so I'm not gonna fight their treatment of it too badly.

Also, take out all the weird 80s anime racism and original was way better than Nisei.

So do you think Adrian knows? I think between the way he acted at the end (“are you lying?” tease, mention about the pics in odd places that she confirms were under the bed during the akuma fight in her room) and the offhand ‘didn’t think we’d find out like this’ as they were leaving as Chat Noir I think he at least suspects and is aok with it.

I'm no expert but that sounds like a woefully inadequate estimate of what that would cost.

If the first phase was to create ads and presentations to interest real investors and creative staff, that might be enough, but I think the MST3k reboot needed more than that per episode.

Per rumour, Adrien will be the first to have suspicions about Marinette this season, but I think if he did right now they would have made more of it. This is not a subtle show.

EDIT: the show's creator said straight-up on Twitter that nope, he doesn't know. Question answered, I guess!

Although in hindsight, Gabriel wanting Marinette to play Ladybug in 'Frightningale' has become a bit more meaningful. He's met her several times, he knows she's read the book from his safe, she's always around whenever someone gets turned into a villain, and Ladybug turned up about ten seconds after his failed attempt to akumatise her in 'Zombiezou'. Dude's got to have suspicions of his own by now!

New episode in Canada this weekend, by the way.

It's ostensibly never too early given something like the new PPG, but typically for first seasons, it's later in the order that they'll announce a renewal or not

e: The tumblr post says Disneylife is an Asian app but Disney's site says Disneylife is only available in the UK and Ireland so I dunno what's going on

actually now that I think about it, this might be a weird hoax?

Apparently there is a website for it, it was made for the Philippines and released last month?

So maybe it's real, but its fair to take it with a grain of salt.

Edit: Here’s something that might make it real.


Those three ducks on the side look like April, May and June, Daisy’s nieces who only appeared in the comics. That feels like a really obscure pull for a hoax, but who knows?
