So, Glitch made another Kicktoon that went viral. Why am I not surprised… 😒

So I finally watch the test pilot of Lackadaisy, and I have some mixed feelings about it. On one hand I did like it a bit better than Helluva Boss and the test pilot for Hazbin Hotel, it has a good soundtrack and a good aesthetic, good animation, plus on as a history buff I really like the 1920s setting; but on the other hand the characters felt kinda bland, there were some goofs where you could see the 2D skeletons (I think that’s what they’re called) of the characters, and the fact that the characters are anthropomorphic cats serves no purpose to the plot or story at all whatsoever (as opposed to something like Zootopia or Beastars, where the fact that they’re anthropomorphic animals is part of the plot). Does this give me hope for the Kicktoon genre of indie animation? No, not really. Does it make me excited for the full series? Again, not really. But it’s not bad, and I do see some potential in it. I’d give it a 5/10

Yet another meme I made criticizing the kicktoon genre/movement and the current (one-sided) indie animation boom:

So a lot of people have been asking me about what the difference between a Kicktoon is and a non-Kicktoon indie web cartoon, so I decided to make an update definition that would basically serve as my swan song for my big anti-kicktoon post in an attempt to try and make peace with the Kicktoon Community (except for Saberspark and Cellspex, they can both eat sh!t):
