What are some of your favorite cartoon intros?

>teaser finally comes out >its the shittiest cell-shaded cgi since the Gamecube era Fucking hell I thought Peanuts and Captain Underpants fixed the whole 3d into 2d animation technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eMy2hjl4HQ

>Hack of an actress decides to burn down all her connections to Warner and basically call out how shitty of company they are < Peter Roth, the president of Warner Television likes to have women “steam” his crotch while he’s still wearing them. All the while searches for blackmail on everyone <Rose says she suffered injuries while working, such as a broken neck, fractured rib that split in two, and even a tumor <forced her to go back to work 10 days after surgery <Denied her from going to conventions <a crew member got 3rd degree burns across his body including face, apparently people watched his skin fall off <a sex scene was filmed without prep <they lost 2 stunt doubles <Rose was almost blinded <PA was left a quadriplegic and was forced to start a gofundme <Actor Dougray Scott yelled at and mistreated people. <Camrus Johnson a “egomaniac” who apparently blamed her and leaked info. <WB couldnt be bothered to provide a taxi during a night shoot >Warner Bros hits back hours later <Rose’s account “revisionist history” <“multiple complaints about workplace behavior” against the actor. <Rose theirself was the subject of an internal probe into bad behavior allegations by the studio

Well would you look who it is, /co/! About time you made it to the Halloween Bash, what exactly are you supposed to be?

>horrible disjointed mess of asspulls, coincidences and hammy drama >pace violently jerking from breakneck to glacial >tone also violently jerking, with marvel style quips and family guy style jokes undercutting most scenes >creators hit the gas on power battling and now their lore is hyperinflated to shit and they have to come up with inordinately silly reasons for interpersonal conflict >almost an entire season centers around ashley burch's character, who looks like her and is called "Ash" because the showrunner presumably wants to bust fat loads in her garbage, hasidic hatchet-wound whilst suckling on her crooked nose, she may well have more voice lines in S3 than the MC >also featuring david tennant doing an awful bad guy impression >season 3 turns into Mass Effect 2 style "everyone gets a backstory before we fight the boss" in lieu of content, and everyone gets really angry about nonsense and forgets about their mission to save reality >awful side character dies and characters spend an episode crying about it with totally unearned sincerity >meanwhile other characters have died multiple times and come back through later asspulls What a dumpster fire. Incredible that Netflix pays for this, that it attracted as many notable names as it did and that people seem to be hyped about it.

Welcome, welcome, phantoms and ghouls, hellhounds and hobgoblins, liches and wights of all ages I see you, /monster/, get your hand out of your pants. Another year has passed, 365 days since last the Ed-ifying tale of the WERE-ED graced this board. Even in this place, traditions must be maintained, and as such I have come to put the curse to rest once more by relaying to you the tale of friendship, love, humanity, and pacts with a pagan deity Without further adieu, /co/ presents A NINTENDO-NUT1 PRODUCTION NIGHT OF THE WERE-ED!

Back at it anons, another horror themed story time for the scariest month of the year, got this one by suggestion from another anon and it was a fun read two of those character I already said who they are so I'm just ctrl-c ctrl-v from the other thread Freddy Krueger - the spirit of the Springwood Slasher, a serial killer of children who had been burned to death by his victims' parents after evading prison. uses a gloved hand with razors to kill his victims in their dreams, causing their deaths in the real world as well. He is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, dirty red-and-green-striped sweater and brown fedora, and trademark metal-clawed brown leather glove only on his right hand.  In the dream world, he is a powerful force and almost completely invulnerable. However, whenever Freddy is pulled into the real world, he has normal human vulnerabilities and can be destroyed. Jason Voorhees - has been depicted as a non-verbal, indestructible, machete-wielding mass murderer from Camp Crystal Lake. Jason has superhuman strength, regenerative powers, and near invulnerability. Some interpretations suggest that the audience has empathy for Jason, whose motivation for killing has been cited as being driven by the immoral actions of his victims and his own rage over having drowned as a child. Ashley "Ash" Joanna Williams - Ash is incompetent at everything except fighting the Evil Dead. Ash rarely takes situations seriously and is very incompetent as a hero or protagonist; He's often causing the conflict that drives the story forward rather than solving it while having a selfish, self-serving attitude towards others at the same time has been portrayed as a womanizer while fighting deadite he has grown into a much braver person, and becomes the voice of encouragement and confidence. It is at this point that Ash becomes known for his one-liners, and his personality takes on a more cynical, embittered tone. What's this story about?

It seems very strange that both new episodes Simpsons (33e5 "Lisa's Belly") and Bob's Burgers (12e5 "Seven-tween Again") both used essentially the same joke on the same night (Oct 24). Does this happen often?

The veteran creative executive has been named SVP Anime & Action Series/Longform for Warner Bros Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. >In his newly created dual role, DeMarco will spearhead WBA and CNS’ expansion into producing anime content. He also will be responsible for identifying and developing projects in the animated action genre to develop and produce series and longform programming for all audiences. Among his first projects, DeMarco will serve as the lead creative executive on The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the upcoming original anime feature film directed by Kenji Kamiyama and produced by New Line Cinema and WBA. >DeMarco also will continue his role as SVP, Head of Anime and Action Series, at Adult Swim. He will report to Sam Register, President of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, and Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim. >DeMarco has been with Adult Swim and Cartoon Network for more than 20 years, beginning as a senior writer-producer and rising through the ranks of the on-air, marketing and promotions teams. He co-created the Toonami programming block and has managed the brand throughout its nearly 25-year history. >“I got into this business because I love action cartoons and storytelling,” DeMarco said. “Being able to work in anime and action development, two areas of animation I care about deeply, is a dream come true.” Look like cartoon network is dipping their toes into making action shows again, can't wait for them to fuck it up with schedule shifts and no advertising. What really concerns me is that they say they're making anime which pisses me off since I hate when netflix claims their 20fps woke cartoon series they made in america is anime and now CN is doing it too.

Disney panders to China / SEA with its alta rip off.

Well it was only a matter of time. Have to move onto another phase.

hello anons, Here's another horror themed story time, and by special request it's a crossover story Jason Voorhees - has been depicted as a non-verbal, indestructible, machete-wielding mass murderer from Camp Crystal Lake. Jason has superhuman strength, regenerative powers, and near invulnerability. Some interpretations suggest that the audience has empathy for Jason, whose motivation for killing has been cited as being driven by the immoral actions of his victims and his own rage over having drowned as a child. Leatherface - has been portraied as a cannibalistic and mentally unstable mass murderer who, alongside his family, kidnaps, kills, and cooks unsuspecting travellers who venture near their ranch in an unidentified part of Texas, They process the victims' flesh into barbecue and chili, which then they sell at the restaurant/gas station, "Last Chance Gas." The character's name comes from the human skin masks he always wears, which hide his deformed face. Leatherface's signature weapon is the chainsaw, though he has also used other tools, such as cleavers and hammers, to kill his victims. Leatherface is depicted as a "big baby" who is under the complete control of his family and kills because he is scared of the outside world, What's this comic about? The Linhart Amalgmated company is dumping thier toxic waste into Crystal Lake. Scooping up some of the waste they pick up the lakes unstoppable killing machine Jason. After loading the waste and Jason onto a train, Jason breaks free and crashes the train ending up in Texas, where he befriends Leatherface and his family...For now. Artist: NANCY A.

Meanwhile, on Bizarro /co/…

Well anons, happy spooktober. Here's a horror themed story time Cassandra "Cassie" Hack – A young woman who had to gun down her own mother who, after committing suicide rather than face justice for murdering a group of young boys who were bullying her daughter, returned to life as a slasher called "The Lunch Lady". Cassie now drifts around the United States in an old van, hunting slashers with her partner, Vlad. Vlad - The enigmatic partner of Cassie, Vlad is a big, muscular and disfigured man, who wears a gas mask and brandishes two big meat cleavers. Met by Cassie when they were both stalking the "Meatman Killer", Cassie soon befriended him. There's not much known about Vlad, not even his full name, but he seems very aware of his unconventional looks, which prompts him to wear the gas mask Vlad's relationship with Cassie is quite paternal, as Vlad seems utterly concerned with his "little one's" well-being. Quite naive, but well-versed in strategy and battle skills Ashley "Ash" Joanna Williams - Ash is incompetent at everything except fighting the Evil Dead. Ash rarely takes situations seriously and is very incompetent as a hero or protagonist; He's often causing the conflict that drives the story forward rather than solving it while having a selfish, self-serving attitude towards others at the same time has been portrayed as a womanizer while fighting deadite he has grown into a much braver person, and becomes the voice of encouragement and confidence. It is at this point that Ash becomes known for his one-liners, and his personality takes on a more cynical, embittered tone. What's this comic about? Cassie Hack is doing her best to live a normal life. But a Deadite attack forces Cassie back into action and this time, she's not alone! Meet Cassie's new partner: Ashley J. Williams! Can the pair keep from killing each other long enough to quest for the stolen pages from the Book of the Dead? Will Ash get some sugar? Or will Cassie make him kiss it?
