Open Source Idiom posted:Lol Krapopolis randomly aired its first season finale as its third episode of season two. I thought it was still season 1. The totally legitimate way I watch has the most recent episode listed as s1e16. They are releasing episodes in the sporadic Bob's Burgers approach though which might make it seem like it's a new season. I've found Krapololis largely fine but it's only occasionally gotten above that level, which is a shame considering the talent involved.

Nah, they produced three seasons of 13 episodes a piece, and then are airing them randomly out of order. You can find out the real order if you look up the production numbers. They've been airing season two eps since around February, but this was the last of the first season episodes and originally intended as its finale.

It's funny how The Great North introduced a new Tobin with the great aunt and she just kind of hangs out with them now.

It feels like they've gone for a kind of slow burn approach to integrating her into the swing of things so far, she's more of a 'greek chorus' character so far.

I watched both Scavengers Reign and Blue Eye Samurai as they were coming out, and watched Pantheon right after. It was a pretty  couple of months.

Speaking of Pantheon, did Season 2 ever officially air anywhere in the world or was it just leaked onto the internet after the show was unceremoniously cancelled? Fantastic show regardless though, would definitely recommend if anyone hasn’t seen it yet (unfortunately the only way to watch it I’m aware of is to resort to piracy)

What exactly happened behind the scenes with that show again that we never got the second season in the US and it suddenly disappeared from all official websites?

Might be because it had characters from Israel and Palestine, and Amazon doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole considering the current conflict.

It's almost certainly less exciting than that. Pantheon was the pet project of a previous executive team at AMC and when those executives moved on, the new team had negative interest in Pantheon being a success.

Letting it air and be successful would be credit to the people leaving and thus in idiot executive zero sum brain be detrimental to the new executives image.

I think one of the people who worked on it even posts on this forum I still don’t fully understand the Reset Button ending (though I do like how it recontextualizes a scene from the first episode) but it was a fun ride regardless. Have the creators gone on to work on any other projects yet out of curiosity? Larryb fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Saw recently that like seemingly every other Fox cartoon Grimsburg was renewed for season 2 before it even started.

I wonder if it's just so much cheaper and simpler to produce multiples rolling off each other over waiting and trying to start it up again once seeing how well it's received. Or maybe it also just doesn't matter as much these days, it's much harder to draw cause and effect with these companies.

Animation has a long lead time, so you need to get started early in order to not have a massive gap between seasons.

Beastars is in an odd spot where it's not as adult as something like Dorohedoro, which kids absolutely should not watch, but unlike something basic like BNA there are a lot of interesting themes and characters that are easier to appreciate with age. There's a particularly effective scene (non-spoiler ahead) where a Goat is offering his fingers to carnivores at a black market, and the way the show uses that scenario to juxtapose how carnivores are instinctually driven to the offer with the implication that taking it will morally pollute them. If I watched the show as a kid I'd think it was boring cause it's very talky and thematic, as an adult it is fascinating.

God, BNA is so frustrating because it starts out by looking really cool and making you think that it's gonna say something about racism or body dysmorphia or transgenderism and then after spending all of its budget on the pilot episode, it quickly decides its insightful commentary is gonna be a deep hearty belch and it was nothing more than just an excuse for Studio Trigger to create another mascot character for the internet to go nuts over, this time appealing to furries instead of their usual stock of gooners.

Mostly directed at BNA but why does almost every single Fantasy Racism story eventually have some kind of plot device that brainwashes the oppressed group into acting crazy and violent?

i wouldn't really call it a fair comparison. beastars wasn't nearly as big and its scope wasn't nearly as wide, and while GoT's collapse was dire it was also comparatively mundane. most of what beastars' last arc tries to pull never would have made it through a writing room, it was the product of a single author either terminally bored of her own work or suffering a breakdown from sudden popularity, maybe both
