readingatwork posted:MFKZ just got released on Netflix. gently caress the critics this movie is gorgeous and I love it to death. Definitely worth a look if you like weird anime inspired stuff. France has such an interesting animation industry and has made a lot of tv shows and movie I really love, yet I so rarely see people talking about it.

Milo and POTUS posted:I watched Waking Life on DXM and acid and it was amaaaaazing. Maybe your'e just not wathcing it right Okay but every animated movie is great on acid. I watched Fievel Goes West on acid and it turned an average animated movie into a masterpiece. Another great movie to watch while on acid is The Last Unicorn, but that's a masterpiece with or without drugs.

That may be true, but I am still hyped as Hell for more Clone High. And the theme song still slaps: https://youtu.be/R8lmbxbiP94

I actually really liked Star Trek The Lower Decks. It's funny, the animation is very fluid, and the main character Mariner is a lot of fun. I recommend giving it a chance.

BexGu posted:The writer's need to tone done Mariner wackiness a bit but the rest of the ensign characters legit being really excited for what they are doing vs the "I'm to old for this bull-poo poo" / glory hogging of the higher rank officers worked really well. There is a ton of fun the writers can have showing just how bad it is in the Lower Decks since every other series has focused on the high ranked officers. I didn't really mind Mariner's whackiness, if only because it's always nice to see a female character be the crazy fun one instead of the standard voice of reason straight man. Also, I thought it was interesting how instead of being in the lower decks because she's a slacker like I initially thought, she's there by choice because she honestly thinks that the lower decks are great and she can do the most amount of good there. I agree that it was great seeing all the ensigns be so happy and excited about their jobs. As much as I love dark humor and cynicism, it's really nice to watch a show where people love their lives and how they're living them.

Bust Rodd posted:Netflix has a total deathgrip on their data, but word from the Bojack thread was just that they did actual zero promotion for the show. We had dozens of goons who were like "The only show i have ever watched on netflix is Bojack and I only heard of T&B from this thread" Yeah, I was one of the many people who never had it recommend to them by the algorithm, despite using Netflix to almost exclusively to watch adult targeted cartoons at the time. I only knew it was out because I had been following the production, either through malice or incompetence that show got buried.

I'm so excited to have another season of this show in my future.

Bust Rodd posted:I tried Disenchanted for like 4 episodes and I’m gonna be honest, I’m just too old for shows where a central plot conceit is that one of the boy characters is just obsessed with one of the girl characters. The Fry/Leela romance had some great writing in the original 4 season run of Futurama and recycling it here just seems, uh, incredibly lazy and stupid, IMO. Fry and Leela works because they're both entertaining characters, Elfo and Bean doesn't work because Elfo is a terrible character who drags down every scene he's a part of.

Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:Close Enough season 2 is out on HBO max. Its pretty good so far. The episodes seem to be written to be 11 minutes long, unlike whatever happened in the first season where they were edited down for whatever reason. Yeah, it's a real improvement and the pacing makes it obvious these episodes were actually written to be the length that they are.

SlothfulCobra posted:I actually recently rediscovered American Dad and what's great about it after it was one more thing I just really didn't want to deal with with the looming trump administration to think about. It doesn't seem like they actually referenced it, but I didn't want to take the chance. So many comedians wanted to make Trump jokes but none of them could distract from the crushing bleakness of it. American Dad is my favorite adult cartoon currently airing, and arguably the best one out there. The show really found it's footing when they stopped doing political humor and moved more towards character driven comedy and magic realism. They did exactly one episode based around the Trump administration: Railroaded, and it's one of the few parodies of Trump related things that manages to be funny (it helps that they don't actually show or mention Trump by name at all). The_Doctor posted:We have a thread! Come join us, fellow Dadder! New episodes coming April 19th! https://twitter.com/AmericanDadTBS/status/1352337714708963329?s=20 Anyway, about Birdgirl: It's....fine. Not great, not bad, just.....fine. I'm willing to give it a chance though, hopefully they'll do an American dad style finding their footing soon.

The second season of Peepoodo just started coming out thanks to Kickstarter so get excited because there are more cute animal dongs coming your way.

The_Doctor posted:Does the Great North need its own thread? I want to complain how lacklustre it is. Can't you just do that here? Also I agree with you, but I did like the vibes of the final episode: Everyone is terrified that the estranged mother is going to show up and ruin the wedding, but she doesn't show up and the wedding is perfect but they're left with a kind of slight sadness that the terrible mom didn't even bother to come. Like, yeah, that's a mood. Not wanting a horrible parent around, then feeling sad when they're not around because it's a reminder that they just don't care. But instead of focusing on that you focuses on all the people in your life who did show up because they love you and you can share your happiness with them. Also, Duncanville continues to be good. The most recent episode revolving around telling your dad to gently caress off was surprisingly sweet and wholesome.

The_Doctor posted:I've only watched Great North up to the bigfoot episode so far (ep 8). It's not exactly been funny so far, and there's never any real challenges the characters face, but I appreciate the near relentless dumb optimism they all have. I think the best bit so far was Ham's recollections of seeing Shrek. I did point out to my housemate that the 'quirky small Alaskan town full of nutcases' thing means this show is just an animated Northern Exposure. Agreed, whatever Ham thought Shrek was has been the highlight of the show so far. Another highlight for me: The Grownup Zone song from the Bigfoot episode.

readingatwork posted:Finally got caught up on Duncanville and drat I haaaaated the election episode. Though to it's credit I hate like 98% of sitcom election episodes for very similar reasons. I get that subjective reality alters everyone's perspectives based on their past experiences and beliefs, but we must be in a movie theater cause there's a lot of projecting going on over here. I watched this same episode and didn't get any of this out of it, watched it again after reading your post to see if I missed something the first time and frankly none of it lines up. This feels more like a "you" thing rather than a thing that was in anyway intended by anyone involved with making the show. 1) You claim the show was subtly trying to do a Trump/Hilary thing, but how? At no point do Duncan or Mia quote anything said by either Hilary or Trump, nor does Duncan do anything that could serve as a parallel to the Trump Presidency upon being elected. As far as I noticed the only presidential quote that was refenced was Reagan's "tear down your wall", and honestly Reagan vs. Carter fits the episode way better than Trump vs. Hilary what with the whole one candidate (Mia) wanting to do a bunch of boring sounding environmental stuff while the other candidate (Duncan) promises to do a bunch of things that will cause short term prosperity for a select amount of people and then bring about serious long term damage. You even said within your post that Mia losing doesn't match up with the reason Hilary lost. 2.) Once again you point out that what Duncan did doesn't match up with anything Trump did, which kind of defeats the whole overall point of your argument. You also don't seem to understand why what Duncan did was wrong, even though he locked all the teacher's in the basement and spent the school's entire budget within a week on a bunch of dangerous stuff that led to the entire student body being attacked by bears. Like you said nobody in politics runs on just giving everyone what they want, that's something a dumb teenager would do, which is what Duncan is. Shenanigans ensue. 3.) I'm old and out of touch, but how was a bunch of kids getting excited about dancing bears trying to "stick it to youth culture"? A cute animal did a cute thing on the internet and people thought it was neat, that happens with teenagers and adults all the time. It's just that in this case the cute animals were bears and bears are incredibly violent when not fed and Duncan spent all of the schools money and didn't have any cash leftover to buy bear food and thus the bears attacked. The moral here is "feed the bears you hired to dance or else they'll eat your face" which isn't a lesson that's political in nature, but still one that's important to learn none the less. It seems like you have some PTSD regarding the 2016 election, and I get that, but in this case it's making you see things and make connections that aren't actually there. Pararoid posted:All cartoon parodies of Trump and 2016 were dreadful and unfunny with no exceptions. The American Dad! Episode "Railroaded" is an exception to this rule, but from what I've seen it's the only exception.

Rand Brittain posted:The way I heard it described is that Holdo is basically the representative of the new direction Star Wars is taking in TLJ, where actions have consequences and solders should obey their commanding officers, and for this reason the other characters are legitimately annoyed and threatened by her because they've been running on the previous set of Star Wars rules where hotshots doing their own thing is effective and correct, and nobody told them that the rules were changing. The new way sounds worse.

readingatwork posted:Gumball owns and this episode is good but it’s doing another thing that bugs me in election episodes where it conflates liberal status quo technocrats with leftist firebrands so it loses a few points there. I swear to god I’m going to give myself a stroke trying to explain the difference to people someday. It's true that we'll never know for sure what the writers were intending (unless they tell us on the DVD commentary), and I would agree that the episode is a bad take on the 2016 election, but there are absolutely no references to anything related to the 2016 election (Duncan never puts on a red cap or says he's going to "make the school great again", Mia doesn't call anyone deplorable or get called a nasty woman, there are a million stupid jokes they could have done that I've seen on a million other shows that did 2016 election spoofs. A million is probably an exaggeration, but it feels like a million) so I'm inclined to give the show the benefit of the doubt and assume that the reason it doesn't match up at all with the 2016 election is because that wasn't what they were trying to do and it was instead just a "irresponsible person gets power and does dumb poo poo" plot because that's an easy set for jokes (but again, if on the DVD commentary they say "this episode was intended to parody the 2016 election" then you automatically retroactively win this argument). And for what it's worth, Mia didn't just lose because she was smart, she lost because she was only focusing on things she cared about and not what the rest of the students were interested in. The rest of the school only starts listening to her when she finally brings up topics they actually care about and how Duncan's actions as president will negatively impact those things (like prom and whatever key club is). Like, she started out wanting to cancel prom so everyone could go clean up a river, I wouldn't have voted for her either. I'm apparently even older and more out of touch than you are because the bear thing didn't even register as cringe to me, I wasn't even aware that was a dance kids were into at any point in time. Like, you're probably right, but I'll never know. The only thing I noticed was that there was a polar bear, and grizzly bear, and a panda bear, like in We Bare Bears! And that's about where my pop cultural awareness ends.

Bust Rodd posted:drat, that’s wild! I really never thought of Namor as being underground or particularly unpopular, then again I guess my dad was really into Thor and Namor and maybe we just had these comics around? I dunno, I always thought Namor was a bigger deal. This episode was great! It's always weird to discover what pieces of popular culture you thought were well known by your entire generation just completely passed a lot of people by, and what well known popular culture thing you yourself somehow went decades not knowing. I loved the episode but I feel like a lot of enjoyment of it hinges on whether or not you know who Namor is and that Richard Reeds of the Fantastic Four has a rivalry with a sexy fish man who wants to bone his wife (and his wife is NOT opposed to that).
