I was more of a cartoon network and normal network tv kid for the most part so I didn't get that deep into most Nick shows.

That said fairly odd parents was ok to me, though like most really overly long running shows a lot of the later ep were pretty hit or miss.
Of Butch's work I much preferred Danny Phantom as I loved action focused shows.

Finished Hazbin Hotel.
Was better than I was expecting from the pilot. Didn't like it as much as Helluva Boss, mostly because I liked most of the characters less (especially angle dust who is just fucking gross), and most of the songs aren't great, but overall it's a decent show imo and I look forward to them eventually making a second season.
I like the lore and mystery being built as it goes along. And the answers to set up mysteries are decent and don't feel cheap.

I will keep a eye out for the next release of stuff related to this project.

Angel dust has the same problem as blitzo, where their entire humor is just being sexual/swearing and they try really hard to have these "deep" moments that don't feel deserved or matching the tone of their character.

I like the plot too, but it seems like they are leading us on without telling us any of the rules of the universe.

 No.67469

I'll second this. It's okay for these characters to have depth and whatnot, but Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are at their best when they don't get all sappy/sentimental.

It's probably why my favorite character from HH is Niffty.
Just a uncomplicated funny gremlin used for gags. I actually hope they don't try to "add depth" to her character because they are kinda bad at it.

I am really enjoying Xian Ni (renegade immortal) for some reason that is somewhat hard for me to explain. It's kind of hard to follow because of shitty story telling and it doesn't really have any strong characters, but I love it. I guess I am a sucker for loner characters who are OP. It has really cool visuals. Next on my list of anticipated weekly airing shows are probably Fanren Xiu Xian Chuan, Tunshi Xingkong, and Doupo Cangqiong. After that one tier down are Nitian Xie Shen (2023), Shen Yin Wangzuo, and Da Zhu Zai Nian Fan.

Which shows did you watch?

 No.67475

>>67473
>Romance of the Three Kingdoms (2009 animation)
It was pretty boring, the animation had issues, and I ended up dropping it before reaching the end.

>Wanderings of San Mao/Story of San Mao's Vagrant Life

It was just below average to me and I didn't find most of the humor all that funny. It's also long as fuck so I also dropped it.

>Black Cat Detective

Watched it to completion but it just was of low quality and not all that interesting.

>The Adventures of Little Carp

Oddly enough had a dub vhs tape with a few ep of it. Fell like it was for babies so wasn't interested.

There are probably others I am not remembering.

Well no wonder you didn't like them if they were all that old. Chinese animation has really come a long way since then. You should give some modern shows a shot. I watch almost exclusively 3D CGI shows because I prefer them to 2D as it is more immersive, particularly the sets which are far more realistic looking than the people most of the time. It takes some getting used to but can be worth it. If you want to stick with 2D there are still some decent quality shows. For example, Biao Ren: Blades of the Guardian. That was very nicely animated and had some very compelling scenes.

 No.67571

Has there ever been another show like avatar the last airbender? By that I mean a western show that did an anime style fantasy production? Seems like western cartoons are mostly shit and don't take fantasy seriously, but Avatar was pretty good. I wish they would do something like that.

 No.67572

>>67571
There are plenty of western fantasy animated shows and films.
No none were "anime" like as avatar was as deeply Asian inspired besides maybe kung-fu panda.

Maybe give Jackie Chan Adventures a shot. It's Asian, fantasy, and has a strong martial arts focus while being of decent quality.
The writing isn't as good as avatar but the animation is arguably better imo.

>Jackie Chan Adventures is set in a world which magic and supernatural forces exist but are unknown to much of humanity

This is the exact type of shit I fucking hate with western fantasy. They just take the normal world that already exists and insert things that don't exist into it. It's buffoonish. I know there aren't dragons or unicorns or whatever in the real world so it is completely immersion breaking to put them in there. You have to actually create an alternative world for the fantasy to not be shit and lazy imo. Avatar was a great example. Magic was integrated into the world. It is a believable "alternate world". Western fantasy has a fetish for just inserting magic shit into the normal world and I hate it. That is the main reason I stick with Japanese and Chinese stuff (not that they're immune to this either, but on the whole they do a pretty good job). It's interesting that this trend actually seems more true for western cartoons than other media. It's not like western media is completely lacking actual fantasy worlds, but I just can't think of any good cartoons other than avatar that have them.

You are absurdly ignorant and seems to just be trying to just be inflammatory.

Magical realism, Urban fantasy, and other such things are and have been appart of the the fantasy genera for all of human history in all cultures world wide.
It isn't unique to the west.

Second, "western fantasy" has lots of high fantasy with other worlds and the like.
There is no "fetish" for inserting "magic shit" into the normal world any more then any other writing trope or theme.
It's like you are just trying to be vulgar and willfully ignorant to get a response. It's disgusting.

> It's not like western media is completely lacking actual fantasy worlds, but I just can't think of any good cartoons other than avatar that have them.

You're the one being rude you fucking asshole. I'm just talking about my personal preferences. I'm allowed to have those. Go suck a dick.

Mavka: The Forest Song

Heard Ukraine came out with a decent animated feature film so checked it out.
It was ok. Decently appealing charcter designs and average animatiion. Story was very simplistic and it's very much a kids movie, but not bad for something not from a major studio.
Won't give the 3d animated features the US or even China a run for their money, but not bad.
A solid 3 out of 5.

Blood Tea and Red String

One of those solo stop motion animated projects.
Honistly this one was very boring to me. As in I had a lot of difficulty staying awake. I get what it was going for, and it did have a story, but it was told poorly with bad pacing and despite being only about a hour long it was too long for the amount of plot it had with scenes dragging on in very badly animated fashion for minutes longer then they probably should.

1 out of 5.
If you want to watch a odd usually one person animated project then check out M dot Strange's work instead.

Found out that the dude who made Where the Dead Go to Die made another film and this time it actually had a coherent plot.
When the Black Birds Fly
Still badly animated, even for it being animated by one guy.
I suspect Jimmy ScreamerClauz is in the same loose indie affiliation that M dot Strange is apart of, who helped out with the sound mixing and production.

Obviously a weird film, and while better than Where the Dead Go to Die, it's still not actually good beyond being extremely weird. I do appreciate that ScreamerClauz has made significant improvements in story telling, I get what he was going for, but the execution in all regards is poor.

oh yeah, and obviously like all his other work, not for the easily offended or faint of heart, but not as bad as Where the Dead.

>Kyle Carrozza, the creative mind behind Cartoon Network’s “Mighty Magiswords,” has been arrested on two counts of child pornography possession. The arrest took place on the morning of Thursday, June 20th, in Burbank, California, by the Burbank Police Department. This followed an investigation conducted by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

>Carrozza faces charges under California penal code 311.11(a) for possession of child pornography. Additionally, he has been charged with an enhanced 311.11(c) charge, which applies to individuals found knowingly in possession of at least 12 videos or 600 images of child pornography. If convicted, Carrozza could be required to register as a sex offender. The severity of the charges could result in either a misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of one year in county jail, or a felony, which could lead to up to five years in state prison.


>Carrozza is best known for his work on “Mighty Magiswords,” an innovative animated series initially released through the Cartoon Network app. The series featured Prohyas and Vambre, sibling warriors who embarked on various quests armed with unique, whimsical swords. “Mighty Magiswords” gained popularity as a digital hit before being greenlit for a full series, running for two seasons and totaling 92 episodes. Although removed from Max, the series remains available for purchase on digital platforms like Prime Video.


>Beyond “Mighty Magiswords,” Carrozza has worked on various other projects, including contributing to “The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish.” His creative contributions to the animation industry have been well-regarded, with many fans appreciating his unique style and storytelling approach. Carrozza’s arrest casts a shadow over his career, leaving fans and colleagues grappling with the stark contrast between his professional achievements and the nature of the charges against him.


>The animation and entertainment community have been shaken by Carrozza’s arrest. Many fans and colleagues are struggling to reconcile the beloved creator’s professional accomplishments with the serious charges against him. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, ranging from shock and disbelief to disappointment and anger. Some fans have expressed their dismay on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, questioning how someone with such a public and celebrated career could be involved in such a crime.


>Industry professionals have also weighed in, emphasizing the importance of separating the art from the artist. However, the severity of the charges has prompted some organizations to distance themselves from Carrozza. Networks and streaming platforms may reevaluate the availability of his past works, and future projects involving Carrozza are likely to face significant scrutiny.

>Youmacon guest, Kyle Carrozza, is accused on X/ Twitter of egregious acts of harassment, stalking, and defamation against a fellow colleague leading to dire consequence. The victim, Ang, is reportedly in a life-threatening condition due to the relentless actions of this alleged abuser. Yet, Youmacon censors and silence hundreds of warnings.


>Kyle Carrozza maliciously accessed private and sensitive NSFW vent artwork created by Ang, a disabled animator, featuring the cartoon character Invader Zim. Using his influence, Carrozza purportedly orchestrated Ang's termination from employment and subsequently blacklisted them within the industry through a deliberate campaign of slander. Furthermore, he reportedly subjected Ang to public humiliationby disseminating this private artwork among their coworkers and acquaintances, all while fabricating damaging falsehoods about Ang's character.


>The consequences of these actions have been devastating. Ang has lost vital health insurance coverage, critically necessary for their health. The medical treatment required is not only exorbitantly expensive but also demands specialized care, making it tragically inaccessible. Ang's life hangs in the balance due to these circumstances, while Kyle Carrozza's alleged actions continue to shield him from the accountability that such severe offenses demand.


>What adds to the gravity of this situation is the concerning silence from Youmacon. Despite the community's outcry and warnings, Youmacon has reportedly ignored and censored hundreds of comments alerting them to this issue. Furthermore, attempts to directly contact Youmacon seem to have been met with futility, as they can no longer be reached, leaving concerned individuals without a means to address this serious matter.
