Animation 1: I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way
A thread to discuss television and online animation.

I'm just going to be over here CACKLING MADLY FOREVER.
Korra (the character) is getting really annoying. I hope that the Spirit Squid knocks some sense into her.
Guillermo del Toro created the opening credits for this Sunday's Simpsons: [link]
Nicely done, but Jeez those dings are annoying!
God, right? I was watching with my headphones on, and I jumped a foot the first time.
I think Korra is meant to be the "anti-Aang". Where Aang needed to learn to be assertive and when to stand his ground to unlock his full potential, Korra has assertiveness in spades and hasn't had to deal with much adversity that she can't just bludgeon her way through. (Hence her Air Bending is very much a brute force approach.) She needs to learn empathy and humility to fulfill her calling.
Hopefully we'll get some of that this season.
Seriously, if you’re not watching Adventure Time, it’s a way better show than you think it is.
That's a great primer. My only beef is with this:
With greater emphasis on romantic plots, season three actively tries to appeal to a female audience, a strategy that is heavily bolstered by the introduction of Fionna (Madeleine Martin) and Cake (Roz Ryan), the gender-swapped versions of the show’s central pair.
Really? It's Ice King fanfic! I thought it succeeded at being hilariously awful storytelling, but that's about it.
Quisp: Anyone watching "Wander Over Yonder", Craig McCracken's new series on Disney? It's no Powerpuff Girls, but after a handful of episodes, I think it has potential.
