A general for "western" animations/cartoons.
Gonna start off with a recommendation to watch The King and the Mockingbird the 1980 version especially, absolutely comrade-pilled movie.
Good torrent sites (massive pop-up warning, put on an adblocker):

Every evil thing Mark defeats he gives to the boys in the research lab. he even takes a Dr. Mengele tier criminal and puts him at the head of the GDA's corpse desecration program
>>45619I don't speak Japanese, and I do expect the japanese dialogue to be garbage in most animes. Even the subs and dubs are frequently garbage too.
An example of what I mean in Invincible. Episode season 1 episode 5. Some dude goes to a mafia boss to finish paying his debt. The Mafia boss says he's too valuable to let him simply leave. The dude gets enraged and breaks the boss's desk. The tone is serious and the dude looks distressed.
Then a ridiculous exchange happens. First of all, the boss isn't intimidated. Then he starts mockingly screaming "yeah, see! See! Impressive shit like that is exactly why I'm never letting you go!" right in the dude with superpowers face. It doesn't make sense, he's being blackmailed into serving this mafia boss just for being strong? It's idiotic. It's not blackmail. Nothing keeps him from serving this random ass boss. Besides, can't the strong dude just kill the boss?
Then the tone changes completely into a comic one-liner tone, the boss says "plus, now you gotta pay for the desk, too 😜. This is imported Italian maple! 😜". It's not funny. It breaks the supposed seriousness of the scene. It's a super dumb one liner. And the series is filled with this type of unfunny shitty wink wink "jokes".
>>45640It's like it's written by a sheltered white guy that thinks saying phrases like "that's gonna leave a mark!" and "you're barking up the wrong tree!" is the pinnacle of humor.
>>45591Then you would probably like any [EDITED] video or ytp from back in the day.
It's just that, but users back then genuinely enjoyed them instead of being smug and acting like the reddit atheist of yesteryear;
you just can't like the funny swear video alone,
it has to be against someone or be only "''ironic'" even when it's not even accurate, again act like you have to be
superior a "superior" redditor instead just liking the funny swears.
>>46163it's a shame because it had lots of potential to be like the next regular show if it had aired 20 years ago
Anyone watch the new animated predator movie on Hulu? Its really good. I think probably the best predator movie yet
>>46163>>46168I still would've preferred Eltingville Club
>>46449Rick & Morty has its surreal moments like interdimensional cable episodes.
They're making a homestuck cartoon
>>46551Is that gooseworx? she's a legit creative powerhouse
>>46558That's cosplay of Dr Kel from Voices of the Void
>>46596>Idk if its controversial to say this but about 99% of recent online "pilots" are generally quite terrible. I am rarely impressed by any of them. The most I can commend the individuals producing them on is their dedication to realize their gay and lame ideas.That's because all of these people live terribly lame and uninteresting lives. You shouldn't write from experience unless you actually lived an interesting life.
>>46596I hate to give it to that loser John K but he's right that the general problem is that Western animation has been focused on the writing for the longest time. This is true even of current "indie" darlings or supposed saviors of the form like Smiling Friends.
There's some cool visionary shit on YouTube like umami, but that's never gonna lead to a sustainable career or big official projects for anyone. [as] had a brief period where they funded more daring experimental things but that's probably over. Story is all normies care about.
>>46598>[as] had a brief period where they funded more daring experimental things but that's probably over. We're never getting another 12 Oz Mouse.
Fun fact: one of the reasons he was so lenient on passion projects like The Venture Bros was because they included a short golf scene in a single episode. That's literally it. Then Lazzo lost his shit and wanted everything to be a gore-filled shitfest and then retired and executives clamped down even harder.
>>46600>Then Lazzo lost his shit and wanted everything to be a gore-filled shitfest and then retired and executives clamped down even harder.So that's why the later seasons of Aqua Teen were really mean spirited and gorier.
>>46669In concept that seems kind of fitting
>>46670how does condensing a long ass webcomic into a breakneck speed paced short cartoon fit conceptually, whatever that means
>>46671Homestuck is well known as a multimedia product that incorporated many aspects of then current internet culture. Being adapted to fit on tiktok would be appropriate.
Hope this helps!
>>46672>shitty pacing is just like tiktok shorts!!you are retarded lmao
<then current internet cultureexcept the adaptation is all still the same as it was a decade ago
>>46673You should have tried harder in school.
>>46704that's furry porn anon
>>46704It's peak i'm afraid.
The knights of guinevere pilot was okay. Good animation and an interesting story for the most part.
>>46729Franky was goated, love me a proletarian woman.
