I’ll admit the hype from the season 2 trailer got to me. I’ve been rewatching Arcane season 1 and it’s just as amazing as I remember.

Oh man, I’m so excited! I really like that they’re continuing to keep the fates of the people in the council hidden.

“The Arcane is waking up” is hype. I wonder what that means for the story of S2.

I’ll always recommend Venture Bros. and Futurama. Especially the first 4 seasons.

That’s strange. I’d be interested to know how and what you searched for so I can maybe improve how easy it is for people to find !animation@lemm.ee.

I’ve been watching Lastman and am about halfway through season 1. It’s a french animated show directed by Jérémie Périn who also directed Mars Express. I was inspired by watching that film to check out more work by the director. So far it’s really fun. They are short 12-13 min episodes with a lot of swag (for lack of a better term). Great direction as expected and genuinely funny too. I think it’s an awesome example of how to do lower budget animation that still looks really good.

One of my all time favourite animated films! I’m sad I only got around to finally watching it a few years ago.

Thanks for posting @Blaze@sopuli.xyz but I’m going to remove this as it’s a duplicate of this existing post.

Agreed. Porco Rosso is top tier.

I watched Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds over the weekend and it’s a beautifully made film with stunning art and music. The director was apparently inspired by Miyazaki films and Yellow Submarine and it shows in the fun plot and trippy visuals. Like most great kids films, I’d recommend this to adults as well because of how it deals with themes of family, love, and empathy.

I usually try not to be negative but this just doesn’t “feel” like Lord of the Rings. Also showing clips of the LOTR films in the beginning is just weird. The animation looks solid even if I don’t think the overly Anime character design works for Tolkien’s world.

As a fan of Tolkien it is also kind of funny to me that the focus is on the daughter of one of the coolest characters in the books. A daughter that isn’t even named.

Woah that’s crazy. Love Death and Robots but for video games. And am I right to think all 15 episodes are by Blur Studio?

I agree Silo was amazing but just fyi, this community is focused on animation and animated media. Thanks

5 episodes into the nw Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which is a spinoff of last years Mutant Mayhem movie and it’s a pretty solid show. I like that it focuses more on the individual brothers separate from the group to help flesh them out a little bit. The 2D animation is pretty solid. I think they managed to replicate a lot of the vibe of the movie’s CGI. Keeping the movie’s voice cast for the turtles and April was excellent. My gripes are that so far the main plot isn’t super engaging and I find the show to just not be as funny as the movie. The music is also just whatever.

Damn this was really cool. Not the biggest fan of the art style but the animation was solid and really liked the tone and plot setup.

That’s super cool. Thanks for sharing, somehow I was completely unaware of this

I know most people here will be fine with pirating and most of these shows and movies will not actually be lost. But as this thread proves, even modern shows can be lost. And there are 2 things here I find especially sad:

1. As mentioned in the article the CN website had a lot of digital games. I think most of them will be lost. This is something we’ve seen a lot throughout the history of web based games.

2. “I’m more frustrated at the continued removal of online spaces for kids. It leads to them going to media spaces for adults, and that never ends well.” from This reddit comment.

Hajime no Ippo was great. The manga is still on going apparently.

Super cool. Thanks for sharing. Also seeing the reference to the Paperman short makes me want to rewatch that. I remember loving it years ago.

I finished the new Batman: Caped Crusader over the past week and unfortunately found it to be pretty mid overall. I do think there were a few episodes in the middle where the tone and the writing clicked in a way that was quite satisfactory but yeah, fairly disappointed overall. It also bothers me that the animation is often fairly subpar. You would think a Batman show by Bruce Timm would get the necessary resources needed to wow but maybe that was an unfair expectation on my part. I think I’ll probably not watch season 2 unless a lot of people I trust are praising it.

Catching up on some of the Tomorrowverse films. Justice League: Warworld was not good. I couldn’t even really tell you the point of the film. The whole premise of it is just poorly executed. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One was pretty good though. I think it might have been better if the events of the first half had been it’s own film¹, but the second half was genuinely engaging and had some great emotional impact at times. The music was also surprisingly good imo.

I’ve been watching the 2011 The Looney Tunes Show for the first time over the past few weeks and man what a great show. Genuinely some hilarious antics and Lola Bunny in particular is just delightfully unhinged.

Yeah and apparently they’re low quality (480p) and not fully complete either. Whatever, I already waited almost 3 years, waiting a few more months is not a problem outside of avoiding spoilers.
