Random Positive Post About Animation

There are SO many animated shows premiering recently and so many more to come and so many of them look so good too!!

Like... Big City Greens, Final Space and others have already gotten quite a following, and that's great!

Speaking of, Final Space has announced a Season 2!! How cool is that!!

The official intro for Rise of The TMNT is now on YouTube, and it looks!!! So amazing!!! The animation is incredibly spot on and energetic, I was skeptical about the show at first but I am definitely watching it once it premieres

Thundercats Roar's intro is like that too!! It's really fluid and well-animated, and while I know many are still skeptical about it, I say we give it a fair chance. It's definitely the most radical change from the typical Thundercats formula so far, but that isn't really a bad thing on its own. I'll be watching it, that's for sure

Netflix, CN and Disney are picking up more and more series that will have the chance to have great, deep plots, from Infinity Train to Victor and Valentino, to Twelve Forever to The Owl House to Amphibia!! It's so exciting, seeing shows follow the footsteps of the ones before them

In fact, while I was writing this I got notified that Netflix picked up a story-driven animated show written by AtLA’s headwriter, The Dragon Prince!! Judging from the short synopsis and this poster alone, it already looks and sounds superb 

And it's also exciting to see all these networks acknowledging that maybe, just mAYBE... if you give people what they WANT... they will... LIKE it? They're finally growing up!!

(All of these shows look amazing so far btw, and a few of these have pilots on YouTube so go check them out if you haven't already!!)

YouTube is doing great stuff as well!! Emara is a 5-episode (so far) mini-series made in the Emirates of a kickass superheroine

Sonic Mania Adventures (also just a 5-ep. miniseries, sadly) has rightfully gotten very popular! Go check it out if you haven't already it's really great

And if you think only TV (and YouTube) animation is improving, think again!! Movie animation is taking a lot of leaps recently too!

First off: SPIDER MAN: INTO THE SPIDERVERSE LOOKS SO GOOD. It's doing something that should've been done a long time ago: doing unique things with 3D animation!! As much as I love Disney and Pixar, a lot of the animation in each movie feels a little.... samey, but SM:ItSV (wow that's a terrible acronym, whatever) is taking the concept of 3D animation and making it unique again!! The two trailers released so far show so much potential for this movie it's CRAZY. Squash and Stretch, switching between 12 and 24fps to make the fast-paced scenes look more dynamic, 2D effects blended with the 3D, and the whole thing just

looks

so

GOOD

I could homestly write an essay on how excited I am for this movie, it has the potential to reshape 3D movies as we know it. And they're finally getting Miles Morales a movie!! I'm so proud of him look how far he's come

AND speaking of ITSV, Sony has announced they're making a movie on Silk (Cindy Moon), a Korean-American Spider-hero!! That's also great!! (and it means she'll almost definitely appear in Into The Spiderverse, yay :D)

A Super Mario movie's coming out in 2019! I'm pretty confident on it being good, I can't imagine Nintendo NOT making something excellent for their posterboy

And the Sonic movie now has a release date and a general idea of what the plot will be about! It sounds... a little weird, admittedly, but it actually kind of sounds like it'll be something fun, a small diversion from the typical Sonic formula. I mean, hell, Jim Carrey might play Eggman. That will be amazing to watch no matter how the movie ends up being 

It’s a time of advancement and change for animation, and one I am incredibly excited about. 

And so should you!

I was at home doing fuck nothing and this meme materialised in my head and wouldn’t go away until I had completed it

Alright, so that Paranatural update, huh?

People have been worried about this man's aura distorting the space around him, and it leaking off out of the panel.

And I thought 'man, it kinda looks like his Spectral Energy got ripped away from him or something....'

And then

'I certainly USED to be.'

'USED to be.'

And! Look at his shadow. Doesn't it look awfully similar to ANOTHER mysterious character, who happens to be in this page?

AND-AND! Back to Early Chapter 5...

'Corrupted Humans - monsters - ...'

Match that with his unnatural skin colour, his wonky pose and general anatomy (and the fact this was all presented along with ANOTHER mysterious character, the Vice-principal)...

I'd say they're about to face a challenge much greater than Hijack, or Forge, or the Glitchhounds. Something greater than any one of them could imagine.
