Has anyone else seen the web series RWBY?
I started watching it because someone on another forum linked to the "Red" trailer [link] which is incredibly well put-together visually and musically (Warning: Sort-of graphic violence. Lots of death and dismemberment, but it's very stylized.) which led me to the "White" trailer [link] which was almost as good (and less bloody). The other two trailers ("Black" and "Yellow") have some really cool fight scenes, but don't have much else going for them.
I was really excited about the series at first, but I'm personally finding it very hit or miss (and more-often miss) as it goes on. The animation and art is kind of laughably rough, but considering it's a group of people with retail animation software, it's kind of understandable. The director has a great hand and eye for action sequences (the fights at the beginning of the first episode are excellent) and at times it can be genuinely, hilariously funny, but most of the time it's just kind of there.
The sad thing is there's a lot of potential. Episode 8 [link] is almost consistently good and has some incredibly epic moments. But the three episodes since then have been really blah (and stupidly short. Like 3 minutes each, including opening and closing credits.)
I'm also finding myself liking some of the secondary characters (Nora and Pyrrha) a lot better than the primary four, which isn't helping.
AVClub goes into detail on what's wrong with the animation on Korra this season.
Pretty interesting.

Nope, but now I'm going to check it out.
I feel invisible.
Did I skip your link? That's a skipping and skimming foul on me, Mr. Scola!
Last episode of
Attack on Titan
Season One is out. I assume it'll be on Crunchyroll in a week or so. Assuming they're just taking a break to let the manga get ahead, since it's ongoing.
The last shot feels like someone should make a Hannibal macro out of it.
So my son and I recently finished up all of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes after previously finishing Spectacular Spider-Man, both of which I think are near the top, if not the top, of Marvel's animated efforts.
I tried steering him back to Teen Titans (we were watching it before The Avengers became a huge thing and he insisted on wanting to watch A:EMH when he saw the listing on Netflix) and even offered giving Justice League a try, but he's very much on a Marvel kick right now and says he wants to watch "the Wolverine show" next (referring to "Wolverine and the X-men")
Has anyone watched it? I remember seeing a few episodes when it first aired, but I don't really remember much about it. At the moment I'm thinking of steering him toward X-men: Evolution (which I personally enjoyed) instead.
The airtime for Korra is moving from 7:00pm Eastern to 8:30pm, Fridays.

Nice!
It bugs me that Treehouse of Horror is so early.
I was just thinking that when I saw it advertised, -t!
Although I also used to hate when it didn't air till November, so.
