Not sure how I feel about the animation on the robot itself though. The CGI and standard animation mix bugs me for some reason.
This for me, though I'm gonna' come right out and say that the fact that the robot was animated seperately from its environment is incredibly obvious. It's got an awesome logo and I loves me some Tartakovsky (especially when he's channeling his total Tezuka fanboyism), but that clip doesn't look so hot.

I thought Tartakovsky was CN's wonderboy megachild. I kind of assumed that it was a choice made deliberately for the effect, instead of some half-assed attempt to save a buck animating.

So, /co/ discovered some pretty sweet Wakfu action figure mockups from Bandai. They're just CG mockups, but they're confirmed to be official.
What's worth noting is this one:




Tristepin's official English name, Sadlygrove, is included on the packaging. Amalia's figure has an alternate name too. So maybe, just maybe the English dub is still in production! These figures launch sometime this year, so hopefully it happens and happens soon.

Watched the Mad pilot.  It looked and felt just like the magazine.  The magazine, of course, has not been funny since the Clinton Administration and peaked 30 years before that, but still, at least the show is recognizably Mad, unlike the last show to bear the name.

It had a couple of movie/TV parodies, a couple of chuckles, and entirely too many goddamn fart jokes.  Presumably since it's prime time CN and not Adult Swim it can't quite get away with the type of content the magazine does, but still and all, there's a whole lot of shit you can do that doesn't involve, well, shit.

The best bits, as with the first season or two of Mad TV, were the animated bits of Prohias and Martin and Aragones cartoons.  Spy vs. Spy is the one that translates the best to animation; the others didn't make the transition as smoothly -- I actually had to rewind the Martin one because the visual punchline went by too quick for me to catch it, and while it's absolutely beautiful to see an Aragones crowd scene on TV, you can't take it all in and examine all the little details like you can in print.

All in all, pretty thoroughly meh, but there's real potential there, and pilots are about potential, not about getting it right the first time.

And it's already surpassed Mad TV by sheer virtue of not peaking in its very first sketch.

Symbiotic titan is pretty incredible.

The animation voices, and humor are absolutely top notch.

The king is voiced by B&TB Aquaman. The man antagonist alien is voiced by the General from Metal Gear Solid.. The robot servant/bodyguard for the princess is voiced by Brian Posehn. The human general is voiced by John Di Maggio.

Shit, really? I didn't know John Di Maggio voiced Aquaman too? I knew he was Gorilla Grod, but Aquaman? Damn.

I've been watching more and more of Cartoon Network's current line up on On Demand. They went from the "This is a fucking disaster" channel to having some decent shows. Regular show is solid. Sym-bionic titan is good, new Scooby doo is passable, and Adventure Time is (of course) really good. I'm so glad they picked their shit up after having shitty tween shows and live action horseshit.

Oh, hey, by the way: that new Avengers cartoon is pretty great. Just in case, you know, you were on the fence about watching it.

Indeed it is!  And I think I've finally found a gateway for getting my girlfriend into superheroes.  I couldn't even get her to pay attention to Batman: TAS.  (I will, of course, give it another shot later.)

It's not as good as Spectacular Spider-Man (but what is?), but has its same approach of taking the original story arc and tweaking it with the gift of hindsight -- the Avengers have a much better reason for assembling than they did in the original comic, Loki still hasn't revealed himself as the big bad 8 episodes in (or 4 or whatever we're calling it), and it's done a REALLY NICE JOB of introducing all the villains and tying the characters together before they even meet.

And of course there are still enough changes to keep me guessing.  Even as simple a question as "Are Hank and Jan together?" -- well, I can tell her the answer in the comics, but the answer on TV is "I can't really tell; she sure seems to flirt with Tony a lot."

(Wasp is probably my least favorite character, but she's still a damn sight better than the actual original 1960's version.)

And all the little continuity nods are nice too.  I don't know what the rights status is on everything, whether we'll ever be able to see the Fantastic Four or the X-Men or whoever, but it's nice that they've thrown out references to them.

Enjoying the Avengers show.  The first episode is really, really light on characterization, and more just kind of a kick you into action immediately.  It's a lot of fun, but so far seems more informed by what I already know about these characters than anything going on in the show.  But the animation is solid and voice work good.  They even went and used the Iron Man movie for inspiration, right down to having Tony Stark's VA talk just like Robert Downey Jr.  Also like that they found a middle ground for regular and Samuel L. Fury.


But, by Odin, that theme song.

I wish every cartoon had the character development of episode ten of Sym-Bionic Titan.

I think I get what the show's trying to do now. It's the American Evangelion. Not in the mopey, angsty, deconstructivist sense, but in the sense that both use a kids' science fiction story as a backdrop for what is essentially a very adult character-driven drama. In episode ten, they go so far as to literally put the giant robot fight in the background.


Also, way to get crap past the radar with Kimmy's dance.

There's a new G.I. Joe cartoon. It's sort of like the A-Team, only with 20% more Ninja. It's pretty good, actually.

Ripcord is in it, the one based off of Marlon Wayans from the movie. He dies in the first episode.

The rumored new Beavis and Butt-Head series has been confirmed for June.

It could work (and even if it doesn't, it'll still be the best thing on MTV in the past eight years).  Lord knows people still make shitty music videos.

I'd like to see them aged -- in their late thirties and still working fast food and living with their moms.  Esquire has the right idea.

Granted that it's been awhile since Mike Judge really made me laugh.  But what the hell, let's see if he's still got it.
