Finally caught up with this show and I have two questions: 1: Is there any particular rhyme or reason to when new Helluva Boss episodes come out? 2: Why is it that almost none of the voice cast from the 2019 pilot is coming back for the Hazbin Hotel series? I thought the majority of them did a great job for the most part (I’m also curious how much of said pilot will be rehashed for the actual premiere) Also why did it take this long for the show to finally get picked up?

Dapper_Swindler posted:I kinda hope they put the every demon has a rainbow song in it or at least in the ost as a bonus. They did release this video a few weeks ago showing off some of the new Hazbin Hotel VAs (which I’ll admit sound at least fairly close to the originals): https://youtube.com/watch?v=q1MT8GZ3c-E I’ll be curious if the premiere is going to rehash the pilot with some changes here and there (which would make sense since by the time the show comes out it’d be 5 years from then) or just pick up where it left off. Also I kind of love that this franchise is basically a Disney musical only with swearing and sex jokes Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Nov 9, 2023 |

How long is Helluva Boss supposed to run for at minimum again (same question goes for Hazbin Hotel when that starts up)?

Also sort of curious how much direct crossover there’s going to be between Hazbin and Helluva (they both take place in the same universe and there’s a few nods to the former within the latter)

That’d explain why Charlie looks the least demonic of probably any major character in the franchise. I forget, has Lucifer himself made a speaking appearance in HB yet? If not I assume he’ll play a big role in Hazbin at least seeing as the protagonist is his daughter Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Nov 15, 2023 |

I’m personally curious about what lies beyond the Hazbin Hotel premiere, Charle’s entire plan focuses around redeeming demons (which is a rather holy plan ironically enough, not to mention the fact that her girlfriend is thus far her only real supporter in all this) so I’ll be interested to see how she intends on following through and what the consequences end up being in the long run (particularly with everything going on elsewhere over in Helluva) and how much Alastor ends up actually helping/gumming up the works seeing as he’s mostly in it for his own amusement. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more direct Lucifer involvement in this one as well. So far the show apparently has two confirmed seasons with 9 episodes making up the first one (interesting they’re going with Amazon Prime for this rather than YouTube releases like HB) Larryb fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Nov 16, 2023 |

Also having caught up with the series recently I’m sort of disappointed to discover that this was just a fanmade song (albeit one from the official singing voice of Alastor in the Hazbin pilot): https://youtube.com/watch?v=juJkNKodgdE On another note, hearing Richard Horvitz swear was a surreal experience (though I kind of appreciate the fact they had him voice the boy scout of the group) Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Nov 20, 2023 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:I still find it funny that they have Horvitz voicing the most moral, sensible and polite member of the cast. Not that he's always played total jerks (Norbert is actually the nice one in Angry Beavers if you pay attention) but Moxxie is probably one of the first prominent characters he's played who'd actually be pleasant to be around most of the time. He was also the voice of Alpha 5 in MMPR who wasn't a jerk (most of the time) either Come to think of it, is this the first time he’s had a major role in something clearly not made for kids (I know he’s had some bit parts here and there)?

Dapper_Swindler posted:my guess is Helluva boss characters CAN be in Hazbin but hazbin can't be in helluva boss. My guess is the most we will get ins background shots the IMP billboard in a shot. I am guessing you will see goetic demons and the Sins and probably Imps around though. I believe at least. it would be weird if its just dead humans. Why would characters from the former be able to show up in the latter but not vice versa? Something to do with the fact Hazbin is going to be on Amazon Prime while Helluva will remain a free YouTube series? I’m pretty sure Helluva’s had at least one Hazbin cameo by now at least (though it was only a picture or something) Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Nov 27, 2023 |

Flopsy posted:Since Hazbin is essentially owned by A24 I know for matter of fact NO Hazbin characters are ever showing up in Helluva Boss because it would be a whole legal kerfuffle. I mean episode 8 should show what happens when the lawyers get involved. But seeing as Viv co-owns Helluva with Brandon it shouldn't be to much of an issue for her to put her own characters into the former. I least I think so since Helluva boss is an indie animation with no sticky ownership issues. Ah nevermind then, but I thought Hazbin was by the same creators? Or is it more complicated than that (also I only got into/caught up with the series recently so which came first for that matter? Helluva Boss or the Hazbin Hotel pilot)? But in any case yeah, I’m guessing Hazbin will go a little more into the upper echelons of Hell while HB is mostly the misadventures of a mercenary group near the bottom rung (I believe Stolas is the highest demon up the food chain the gang is on somewhat good terms with) Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Nov 27, 2023 |

Still a pity they had to replace pretty much the entire Hazbin cast (compared to Helluva where I believe only Millie and Stolas changed between the pilot and the series proper). But I am looking forward to the show and where they go with it at least Do we know if the series is going to have a set release schedule?

I forget, why did they change the entire Hazbin cast again? As I said, all but two of HB’s cast stayed on past the pilot (well, one technically since Milly was originally played by the same actress as Loona) I’m especially sad to lose Alastor’s singing voice (I remember being disappointed to learn that Insane was not actually a song from the series proper). From what little we’ve heard of them Charlie and Vaggie sound close enough at least but I kind of prefer the original Angel (though to be fair we’ve only heard a little bit of him as mentioned) Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Nov 29, 2023 |

drat that was a good song and Bryce knocked it out of the park, I love that this irreverent show about literal demons can hit so hard emotionally. And yeah, I’d love a full fledged movie with this level of animation On another note, there been any word from the creators about the release of episode 8 yet? The recent arc with Fizz has been good but I kind of want to get back to the I.M.P. gang again Also have we ever gotten more than one episode in the same month before?

I’ll miss the old cast (especially when it comes to Angel and Alastor) but the new one seems fine (also this version has Keith David). Nice to see some HB alumni jumping onboard as well even though we probably won’t see most of that group here except maybe the Sins I liked the pilot and the trailer intrigued me so overall I’m looking forward to this

Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean we were probably never gonna see most of them anyway. maybe next season if everything goes well but i go by we see an ad or billboard or something for IMP and also like maybe a stolas or blitzo in a crowd shot. As has been mentioned, some of the Sins might have a decent chance of showing up in Hazbin at least (especially since the trailer seems to imply things will eventually escalate into an all out war with the angels). I imagine we’ll finally see Charlie’s dad at some point as well

Though HB didn’t really redo its pilot either when it went to series (in fact I think the only major change in between was that Millie and Stolas got new VAs). But yeah, considering it’s been a couple years since the pilot released I would have assumed Hazbin would have more or less started from scratch given the premise

Macaluso posted:I haven't seen any of the episodes yet, but someone uploaded the little Vox/Alastor duet and it's quite a fun time. So far the music I've heard from the show, that song, Poison and Charlie's Happy Day in Hell song are all pretty excellent. And I'm someone who did not like the songs in the pilot and was not looking forward to the show being a musical with multiple numbers per episode. But if they're all this good, I'll happily be wrong. Helluva Boss was technically a musical too though it didn’t have a song every episode (and both of them have a lot of the trappings of a Disney production only with more vulgarity)

Finally broke down and watched the leaked episodes, while I still prefer a couple of the pilot VAs the new cast is pretty decent for the most part and I’m at least interested to see where this goes. Odd though that despite the pilot coming out in 2019 they decided to more or less continue straight off it rather than start fresh (which I could see being a bit off putting to new viewers). Apparently we’re getting at least two confirmed seasons out of this with the first consisting of 8 episodes There’s also one more Helluva Boss alumni in this series so far aside from Blitz’s VA playing the newscaster (Adam is voiced by Alex Brightman) Also this will be my first time watching something off of Prime Video so what’s their release schedule typically like and do they put out episodes one at a time or in batch format like Netflix (or if it varies from show to show do we have a release schedule for this series yet)?

Interestingly, the latter actor actually had a bit part in the original pilot (he was one of the patrons at the bar) Also not sure what some people were talking about earlier as Alastor’s voice filter is very much still present The music and character writing is about on par with HB in my opinion which is a good sign Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Jan 14, 2024 |

Katie is now played by Blitz’s VA for some reason (and I can definitely hear him in the performance), I agree it’s weird but everyone else sounds fine at least and I’m glad Alaster retains his voice filter contrary to what some in this thread thought based on the trailer. The writing feels about on par with HB to me as well only this one’s even more of a musical (the songs so far are pretty good though). Definitely on board with this so far

I agree that Vaggie and Ivy have similar character traits such as being tough as nails and in love with a naive clown girl (well more like a mime in Charlie’s case). Plus, Harley Quinn Ivy is my favorite version of the character so no complaints here honestly. And yeah, Vaggie being a fallen angel would make sense given what we’ve seen so far (also her full name Vagatha is apparently a real name that means “good woman” in Greek) Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Speaking of, I wonder if we’re going to meet Lucifer and/or Lilith in the flesh at some point (official full body artwork is already out there for both of them after all). But yeah, I imagine some of the Sins showing up is the closest we’re going to get to a crossover between the two shows (maybe an appearance by Stolas at the most)
