Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter Sorry, never have. I guess it was when I moved away from the cartoon channels in favor of anime. I mostly remember Courage the cowardly dog (what a fever dream of a cartoon that was, I loved it), Eerie Indiana (but that was Fox kids? I guess, plus it was a live action, not a cartoon) and Johnny Bravo.

@ComfyAko
I found one full episode of Codename Kids Next Door from YouTube and I think you will like it. And what do you think about the unique abbreviations on each episode names and the gadget names?

@Anti-Matter Sorry the video is unavailable for me.

But you reminded me that there are some free official cartoons on YT.

Moomins is one of the best cartoons of all times, would recommend with both hands

Also old Sailor Moon seasons were supposed to be added but I couldn't find it

@ComfyAko
Used to be I found some old Sailor Moon episodes on YouTube with Japanese dub but it taken away due to copyright issues.
I found the other language dub of Sailor Moon episodes were still available on YouTube but it sounds terrible.
Btw, which season for you like from old Sailor Moon anime?
I like Sailor Moon S (season 3) for the best Sailor Moon transformation, best transformation music, the most fashionable enemy of the week (Daimon) that possessed from random objects (Lady Gaga might be got the fashion inspiration from Daimon), it has very hilarious crossover of Shin chan in one episode.
Here is the Shin chan crossover.

@Kermit1
I used Electivire ( the alpha one), Garchomp ( also the alpha one), Darkrai, Palkia, Dialga, and Cresselia. Usually I use a lucario but it was kinda useless in my first couple attempts so I replaced it with Darkrai.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika knowing the type of dude he is I know it’s him, I would bet 100 on it. There’s just to much evidence.

@Snatcher Wait, you've watched P&SwG, I'm kind of interested in watching it because it sounds so weird. Have you watched Kill la Kill? it's by the same people who did P&SwG and is also rather daft.

@TeaCatherine You could have got it for Christmas.

@Scooby-Doo You know full well why I refused when you offered.

@Anti-Matter I think I read somewhere that the official Sailor Moon channel would host the 1st season. I might have been mistaken, though.

I pretty much liked it all, even though the whole series was a little over the top with some character relations and gruesome villain deaths (like Mimette and Sailor Iron Mouse). Some very weird stuff about Sailor Moon made me prefer Tokyo Mew Mew and Pretty Cure series over it.

@ComfyAko Jeez, you change your profile picture a lot, it seem like you have a different one everyday. What is it at the moment, by the way?

@TeaCatherine That's because I can't decide between forcing myself to improve my art, or just having a pretty pic. Having nickname next to my profile pic is a lifesaver

My current one is from "Do It Yourself!!" anime, it's on crunchyroll, I recommend it, very comforting and cozy

I have returned

Welcome back, @Kermit1. It's been a long time.

@Scooby-Doo feels good to be back. I'm gonna start to be more like Fizza and be more selective about what I respond to.

Also, NintendoLife has a ghost we need to hunt down.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Please tell me how it is! I agree, mind if I share bets?

@TeaCatherine I haven’t watched it, I have watched a stupid amount of clips, in both languages, and the dub is just insanely better, your missing out on so many jokes. I haven’t seen kill all kill, but have seen a lot of clips for it, I’m probably gonna watched that dubbed as well. Studio trigger has really good dubs.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika yeah, I completely agree. I see that western cartoons are becoming more and more complex, in terms of storyline and character backstory/design. I love that people are finally beginning to understand that cartoons are not just for kids. Many great stories can be told only because they are cartoons and not ultra overpriced live action tv series (which are set to generate profit and are therefore watered down for everyone to swallow). I have seen the downfall of the live action tv series/movies and of the AAA games for the same reason. Take "the passenger" for example, a movie that I love to hate - the whole plot was superb, only for it to be watered down so that it wouldn't be disturbing. (I don't know who watched it and who didn't so I won't go into any more details).

The thing I cannot fathom though is why is western animation so lacking in the artstyle. Most cartoons are pretty poorly drawn, especially compared to their eastern counterparts. I saw some brilliant shorts like "harpy gee" or "my friend cupcake" on Nickelodeon channel, and they were really nicely drawn, but they didn't make it as separate brands, as if they weren't good enough.

Good morning. 😊
These are my new project 2023.
Hope you'll like it.

@ComfyAko
Maybe there is a different culture between Eastern and Western cartoon style.
A lot of Japanese anime are realistic style drawing despite there are some simplicistic drawing style like Doraemon, Chibi Maruko Chan, etc.
Western cartoon tends to look goofy since they have different way in expressing their ideas. They don't really depend on superb graphics despite there are some good drawing Western cartoon such as Biker Mice from Mars, Geronimo Stilton, Totally Spies, etc.
Not every Western cartoon have bad drawing and not every Japanese anime have realistic style drawing.
