The Cartoons and Animation Thread

New Powerpuff Girl is named Bliss. She’s an imaginary friend of Bubbles that becomes real.

Also, she apparently has defined hips and is taller, since, y’know, looking like the other PPG was out of the question.

I’ve watched like two or three of the episodes for the new Powerpuff Girls and knew shit wasn’t the same or even above meh. It is like CN hates quality programming so the their good shows they run at random spots every two weeks then banish to only a handful of episodes their On demand services while the most basic shit they run everyday for multiple hours in blocks.

A brown PPG during the original series would be cool, now that is like putting a sound system in a car with faulty electrical systems that can’t start with out being jumped by another car.

CN Feels like a dollar short and a day late on this one.

I’m not sure if Neo Yokio is supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig at anime, or actually trying to be an anime specifically for black nerds.

I’d love to see Adult Swim pick up this show. It has good potential.

Ahh I was thinking about making a general cartoon thread here a while back. Glad someone finally made one as cartoons nowadays are pretty good.

I definitely agree with Doug’s points here:

I haven’t slept yet but screw it, here’s my quick thoughts on some cartoons that come to mind.

-Gravity Falls was pretty freaking great btw, easily one of best shows on tv.

-Steven Universe is also amazing, great characters, interesting story and atmosphere. Peridot is my fav

-Star vs. the forces of evil is a fun show that’s also a better magical girl show than sailor moon. Come at me.

-Rick and Morty: show is funny af and has some decent writing in it. The scary Terry episode is my favorite so far. Looking forward to the season 3 finale.

-Duck Tales: hey look, Disney knows how to do a reboot unlike SOME PEOPLE.

Neo Yokio holy shit lol. Aside from Jaden Smith the casting is ridiculous. I was shocked to see fucking Jude Law as a robot butler in an American/Japanese animation series.

Sheeeeit, the memory of this just randomly came back to me… one of the most brilliant things, man… when they added LARRY out of nowhere to the Pinky & the Brain theme song


Ohhh man…"…but Larry will explain it! …along with Larry…". shit was gold :clapdos: I’m not sure how many years it has been since this but it still gets me :lol:

Will called in every favor he had to help his idiot son out.

couldnt call in a favor for better animation?

Batman TAS to arrive on Bluray sometime next year. No further info as yet.

Woot!

I still think Pinky is the smarter one out of the Duo.
The episode Pinky felt bad for Brain and actually successfully takes over the world but Brain gets in his way.

The damn lyrics tell you Brain is the crazy one:

They’re Pinky and the Brain… One is a genius, the other’s insane…

What did Einstein define insanity as? Doing the same thing constantly, expecting a different result?

*“What are we going to do tonight, Brain?”

“The same thing we do every night, Pinky… Try to take over the world!”*

When cartoon fans go too far…DT talking about Rick and Morty Fans losing their shit over that damn McDs sauce

There’s a side of that fanbase just as irritating and annoying as bronies.

As the popularity of a show increases so does the toxicity of it’s fanbase. No surprise here.

Uh…every fan base is fucking annoying.
