The whole point of Netflix and Hulu was their giant libraries made it worth it. Everyone else making one defeats the purpose. I definitely won't subscribe to services just to watch one show, either.

It will be interesting to see how things go when the traditional TV truly dies. No way are all of these services going to last. Some are going to be forced to band together or license their stuff out to the successful platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I love the word play of Anubass and CerberBASS. Keith being a jerk to Makasu reminds me of how Pikachu was initially a jerk to Ash in Pokemon. So far this still has the comedic sensibilities of the Machu PIcchu arc but with better art and more animation. And no guys that's not Jason as the episode preview announcer.

Top Gun Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I've watched and laughed at a lot of the absurdist stuff [as] has aired over the years. I thought OzMo was genius and Perfect Hair Forever was hilarious. I got a kick out of Ballmastrz, which oozed style. This...what the fuck was this? It was painful. I struggled through the first few minutes and had to bail. It looks horrendous, and the voicework was atrocious.

As someone who thought Pop Team could be really funny in small doses and significantly softened on Tim and Eric (Moonbase 8 looks hilarious), this...this ain’t it. The closest comparison I can think of is Magical Girl Friendship Squad, a horrifically unfunny parody of magical girls written by people who hate anime and have very little knowledge of it.

Funny, that show actually did fairly well on Syfy opposite the first half of Dragon Ball Super reruns on Toonami. Its season finale, which aired on October 24th at Midnight, actually got 344K total viewers, and a 0.12 in Adults 18-49, checking in at #61.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 The first episode, Asus4, was actually kinda intriguing. The robot frog Keith's tongue blocking Makasu's urethra was just stupid though. The second episode, not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Western animators and fans of animation (not necessarily weebs, just people who recognize animation as a medium) need to have a very long talk about what is expected of them. The Liberator ended up looking a lot better and that’s rotoscoping. Edited November 14, 2020 by Jman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 They played the melodrama about Josie very straight and while it's a fine lesson about empathy it mostly felt preachy. There were a handful of good gags and word play but I didn't like these two episodes as much as the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the preachiness and the general conceit about asking us to feel empathy for characters that have none of it themselves. Sorry, but if your characters are obnoxious jackasses that laugh at a guy getting mugged, I don’t give a flying fuck about their image problems.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Death Beat(s) marches on, with 2 more episodes of absurd musical nonsense! 2 AM - Episode 5: Db6 (Is that supposed to be the letter "b" or a flat sign? Does anyone even know, or care?) To reach the Center of All Death, our heroes board a ferry that's attempting to navigate multiple mythological rivers. Who is more dangerous--some of the dead passengers, or the enigmatic Finnish psychopomp boat captain, Tytti? 2:15 AM - Episode 6: D7#9 The ferry has crashed into the Inuit frozen underworld of Adlivun--but the Hindu death god Yama is waiting for them! Can Makasu escape the religious entities trying to judge his soul? These episode descriptions sound more interesting than we all know the episodes will be, right? Well, turn your brain off and watch this trainwreck with us! ONLY TOONAMI...and tomorrow night's 1 AM encore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
