Yeah, me either. Doesn't make it any less disgraceful or infuriating.
Edit: The noms:
“The Boy and the Heron”
“Elemental”
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”
“Suzume”
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie”
“Wish”
Wish be nominated for anything but a Razzie is proof enough.
Super Mario movie was bad enough I turned it off after 20 minutes.

I hope they don't spend a lot of time in

That would be fine by me. The flashback episode of S1 was maybe the best one.

Zim, you idiot, the enemy clearly has two hands.
The academy makes no secret that they do not give a shot about the animated category and do not even watch the films in the category.
Point of fact: The Golden Globes are controlled by the HFPA, not the AMPAS
Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about the academy awards. Completely missed that it was the GGs instead.
I doubt they treat that category any differently, but it is a very important distinction that I missed.
Oh for sure, I’m not expecting much from them either
Maybe, like, 20% better selections
Ehh, both of the animes were pretty great, but they'll probably steal votes from each other.
Also, maybe the Western Animation thread isn't the right place to go to bat for the anime movies.
…anime ja nai?
[synth sting]
HONTO NO KOTO SA
More openly corrupt?
The HFPA no longer exists, after the Golden Globes were sold to Dick Clark Productions.
Keith David is so fucking good in anything and Amir Talai as Alastar has such a good voice and performance! (I might also have a teeny crush on Alastor, tbh. The old-timey twang and radio effect does it for me.)
Its a definitely a sequel to Final Space in the legally distinct IP but use the same voice cast way.
Just to make it clear

You said first episode, but it's a pilot. So we'll see if it gets picked up for more.
It's really well done. It kinda bothered me that the credits included 8000 kickstarter backers and all the producers, but not a single animator though.
I assume Olan did it all himself like most of his pilots
Frankly I’ll take a “the fuck” as a sign of nailing Bill’s tone.
And I didn’t even have to rip the teeth out of a deer’s mouth with telekinesis!
That'd be wild if so! 24 minutes of animation is a lot.
I just checked his kickstarter and in the FAQ for 'how long will this take' it said - "Probably a year and a half with multiple animation teams working on this."
Honestly the amount of people that have made broadcast quality animations that are over 20 minutes all by themselves can probably be counted on one hand. And even then you'd still need a sound designer and composer, unless you're the sort of virtuoso that also is a musical genius.
And now this.
It’s obviously a sign.
There's about a half-dozen animators at 26:10 listed right after the background artists.
That's so weird, I swear I went through it and didn't see anything earlier today.... oh well, my bad!

Lord it’s like the broadcast equipment was eating the print live on air
Did you know that WB had two tuxedo cat-based characters voiced by Mel Blanc?
Apparently he’s just in McKimson’s shorts, and he’s later redesigned (I suppose as not to be confused with Freling’s Sylvester?) this way:
But then we suddenly transition to ultraviolence, largely for the sake of ultraviolence. Like, I didn't get the impression that Atom Eve fighting
was the natural conclusion of her journey in the special, it mainly felt like "what's the grossest possible thing we can shoehorn in here?" The
All this adds up to me being kind of intrigued by the proceedings but also disappointed.
That said I adore the Mauler Brothers, I hope they keep popping up.
It's good in a weird way. It's one of the only shows I really enjoy watching, but can't bring myself to watch more than one episode in a row. It has anti binging technology.
That was certainly a thing. Confused thoughts in spoiler
I thought the twist in the 1st episode was brilliant. But then the 2nd episode is a meandering thing about the league of Evil Exes none of whom I care about? IT almost lost me there. There was just enough entertainment to get me to the final two episodes which are good, mostly. Scott and Ramona thinking that one of the exes is responsible for the AK field makes zero sense when there is a massively obvious protagonist available in Older Scott.
But ultimately this is a story about true love - literally and figuratively. The cartoon is a celebration of Scott Pilgrim and the plot is driven by future Ramona not giving up on their relationship. About the musical of the film within the cartoon series about a film of an adaptation of a comic book. A self indulgent exercise in reflecting on love at first sight, a critique of '00s wry detached irony, and another angle (do we need one?) on Scott ad Ramona's relationship.
And I can respect that.
Overall did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I recommend anyone else watch it? No.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
