All Things:Animated



That's actually pretty awesome looking and if you wanted to get me on board, highlighting Eugene the Jeep was pretty much the route to go down.

New show on Adult Swim...



Is even more f'd up than Superjail. And that is saying something.

And, while I like that American Dad has become the Roger show, there was such a weird interlude on the episode the other night. I enjoyed it...but it was sooooooo wtf.

EDIT: apparently that's it for American Dad on Fox. TBS takes over on Oct. 20th.

THE BOXTROLLS Review

Animation studio Laika isn’t just on the cutting edge of stop-motion animation. They’re also the only studio putting out offbeat stories that unabashedly focus and celebrate true outsiders. They make movies that are cute without being cutesy, strange without being self-conscious, and funny without being pandering. Their latest film, The Boxtrolls, is by far their best yet as they’ve created a rich, gorgeous world filled with adorable characters, remarkable detail, and a clever comment on propaganda, which is ambitious for a movie that’s ostensibly a family film. Laika may have made a name for themselves with Coraline and ParaNorman, but The Boxtrolls feels like the first movie that represents the heart and soul of this oddball studio.

Looking at the current trends in animation coming out of Japan it seems that the biggest single change involves a lot more shows being made that use a ?light novel? as it?s source material instead of a Manga or original concept created for the anime.

A couple of successful shows available now on streaming sites such as Hulu+ and Crunchyroll have been taken from the work by Reki Kawahara. Sword Art Online Sword Art Online - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is taken from his first 4 light novels while the current SAO 2 that is currently streaming covers the 5th and 6th books.

He also had another series Accel World Accel World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia animated from his Light Novels by that name.
