I'm starting to think that shitty half-anime is going to be the next major art movement.
How many running kids shows aren't a sloppy Japanese influenced pile of disgust?
Children of today will grow up NOT vomiting at the sight of this.
I'm legitimately afraid.

Quote from: RadWalrusHow many running kids shows aren't a sloppy Japanese influenced pile of disgust?

how many are? i can't even think of one.

the most successful cartoons on tv right now are nothing like this.. adventure time, regular show, gumball, spongebob (hit and miss), thundercats (animated by Studio 4C). yes there's a lot of crap shows that come and go, but they're always forgettable and they always die early.

i'd argue the worst cartoon on tv right now is very american looking and also american(slash canadian)-made , and that cartoon is johnny test. but ten years from now no one will remember johnny test. they'll remember the good cartoons, just like we only remember the good cartoons that were on in 2001.

a lot of attention is being drawn to my life me because of how awful it looks. but it will ultimately premiere on some network and everyone will forget about it, and chances are it will die off after a season or two, never to be heard from again.

yes, there's a lot of garbage that teenagers like. but i also think that most kids and teens have a subconscious understanding of what good and bad cartoons are without yet understanding why they feel that way. it only makes sense when you look at the cartoons that dominated ratings back then and also now. their main demographic is the kid to teen ages, and they are the classics of that time and there are classics being made now.

there was a time when i think it was appropriate to bitch about a modern dark age of cartoons, but i think that time has come and gone. animation has historically gone through cycles of ups and downs. we had a good 5-6 years of downtime, and now i feel like things are heading back up.

it doesn't mean that all cartoons being made right now are going to be good. there will always be shit on tv - just more or less of it.

Like half of Teletoon, man. (Canadian channel, it's like the cartoon network)

-totally spiez and it's fifty spin-offs
-Chaotic (the newer one)
-Bakugan

But that's just off the top of my head.
Crappy western anime is being marketed to the average weaboo child like it's nobody's business.
This show has supposedly already won awards, and if it gains a following, it'll only propagate the awfulness.

then there's the generally crappily animated junk like
-total drama island
-JoHnNy TeSt... which is apparently the only show thats ever fucking on

well, no offense, but canada is notorious for creating shit cartoons. i was talking more specifically about american television, cartoon network. CN doesn't show totally spies or total drama island anymore. and bakugan is like any other japanese kid show, it is a catalyst for a toy product. pokemon, digimon, monster rancher and beyblade were all made for the same reasons.

and i don't see what an award has to do with a show's popularity. kids don't give a shit about awards. they watch what they like. the ratings will tell the story, not the trophies on its shelf.

true but the thing is that people who see this type of shit should just ignore it already and move on wit somehting else

this type of shit gets popular and known because of us, we spread it around:

"dude look at this show, its so awful" "damn bro that is horrible, im gonna send that to 1000 people"

wait a second wasn't this posted or am I just crazy.

Well at any rate, I'm more or less with Billy. The art is tolerable but why does the animation suck so bad. And you know what, only people like us are going to notice that and the rest of the sheeple will watch it anyways.

I can't really say myself what I think of Canadian cartoons because I don't really watch much TV, but I have seen a lot of good short animated canadian films. Of course, they're better because they're made usually by smaller groups of people with the same vision, and not just for money. Such is life, blah blah blah...

But yeah not sure why people think this will stick.
