Larryb posted:Another cartoon question, how well do the following shows still hold up (I have not watched any of them but I’m considering it): I haven't seen the last one, but I feel both of the others still hold up though you might want to skip the final season for both, depending. Personally I feel SU started out stronger, but by the end I found myself enjoying Star more. Regardless, I'd recommend them both as good shows.

Larryb posted:Huh, I just realized that The Owl House basically copied its first set of end credits from Star Vs (either that or it was an intentional homage) They've both definitely got the same vibe, but I think they're both kinda taking from anime credit sequences, that are usually more chill and low-action, and I think back in the day they might've even been recycling looped animation sequences to make things more cheaply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZdGBB6Kit8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJIVECGJ09Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Bf1tZwNNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3SvVpEYr40 No idea about how any french animation works on the production side.

SU starts off a bit shaky but once it finds it’s footing it’s fantastic. It absolutely holds up.

Larryb posted:Also in regards to Ladybug, why did the originally planned 2D series fall through out of curiosity? It looked really good based on the promos I’ve seen at least They got told to eat poo poo by the money men with some crap about 2D being for very young audiances if I recall corectly. Then the showrunner, Thomas Astruc, went quite, quite mad and took the show down the tubes with him.

Also it seems in Naruto, Sakura is kind of consistently terribly written. She's just unnecessarily mean to the main character for no reason even when he starts winning all the fights and literally saving her life multiple times. All she does is get in trouble and moon over Sasuke in the main series.

SU I liked quite a bit when I first watched it, but when the movie came out I started a rewatch and found that i liked the show waaaaay less on a second viewing. Totally petered out somewhere in s4 after trying to get back into it some 3 or 4 times.

I’m the only one that’s going to be watching it so no (and as a fan of Sentai/Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, and Precure I’m used to that kind of stuff). Is the series still going or was Season 4 the last of it?

I think that Steven Universe is still very good. It starts off meandering and takes a while to set up the plot, but it kicks into gear about halfway through the first season and doesn't let up. The epilogue series is a bit frustrating in how it ties up most, but not all, of the thematic loose ends, and does so in a way that may not quite sit well with your interpretation of its more ethically charged metaphors.

If it seems like your thing I enjoyed Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix. The first season was overall stronger, but the second season isn't bad and has some funny jokes and really strong emotional beats at times due to the central conflict.

Off the subject, I posted this in its respective thread as well but here’s a nice little interview with Amphibia creator Matt Braly regarding the approaching end and the show in general: https://www.thewrap.com/amphibia-ending-season-3-matt-braly-interview-disney/ It also gives some info on the upcoming Marcy’s Journal book currently due to be released this November (which seems a bit more expansive than I originally thought)

Everything I've heard with Naruto is that it's just kinda really bad with female characters despite (or even because of) making a token effort to not completely fall into old shonen cliches. It has supposedly badass girls who aren't ever allowed to actually do anything onscreen.

Electric Phantasm posted:Youtube has been recommending Bluey clips and I'm really surprised by how good this show is. I watched a bunch of episodes while I was babysitting my niece last month, and I'll second that it is a very funny and heartwarming show. I think what really sets it apart from other shows for young children is that while most TV shows for young kids are aimed just at young kids (With an occasional joke or reference thrown in for parents who might be in the same room), Bluey feels like it's truly intended to be watched by children and parents together, complete with lessons for both. This episode is a really good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmkCmJtK6X8 The lesson (We're all developing at our own pace, don't worry about how or how quickly you/your children are reaching certain benchmarks) is dead simple, but it's presented in a way that directly speaks to both children and parents. Throw in some good comedic timing (Bandit struggling never fails to elicit a chuckle) and some genuinely heartwarming moments, and you can easily see how universal the appeal is. It's not a show that I watch much on my own, but I'm really glad that it exists so I can watch it with my niece, and (Should I have any) with my own children in the future. It's certainly a hell of a lot better than most of the other options.

Finally got around to watching Kipo, the show's really good so far and the main character is adorably dorky (that's Glimmer's actress from SPOP voicing her right?) Also, should I decide to watch Miraculous Ladybug what's the "proper" way to view Season 4 (since I've heard the episodes were aired out of order for whatever reason)?

I’m kind of leaning towards passing on it at the moment based on the feedback I’ve gotten but we’ll see. Infinity Train seems decent so far as well, how soon until it goes downhill (and do we ever see the characters from Tulip’s hometown again or is the whole show minus maybe the fourth season set exclusively on the train itself)? Also is every episode only a little over 11 minutes long? Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:46 on May 14, 2022 |

Season 4 isn't as good as the others, but it's still worthwhile for the jokes alone and you can bang out the entire thing is under 90 minutes total. Just go for it. It's got Margot Martindale and J. K. Simmons!

Each season is ten 11-minute episodes, so basically treat each season like a movie to be watched in one sitting. New protagonist each season. E: Seasons are 10 episodes, not 8 Nameless Pete fucked around with this message at 02:41 on May 15, 2022 |
