After the unpleasant events early this year at Funimation, it seems like the beloved Dragon Ball character Broly has finally found a new voice actor. Johnny Yong Bosch, a VIZ Media voice artist who is credited in roles such as Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure, Power Rangers, Bleach, and Devil May Cry, will be replacing Broly’s long time voice actor Vic Mignogna, who was fired from Funimation in February on allegations of sexual misconduct. Bosch is not a well known name at Funimation as he is at VIZ, where strangely enough Mignogna is still employed, but I know enough to say that Funimation picked a good replacement. Any thoughts on this? Feel free to comment, but please keep VicGate drama outta here. I don’t want to call the mods to break up anything

Animation Hazbin Hotel Official Fan Thread (also Helluva Boss)
Alastor posted a topic in Media Discussion
Since there was no official thread for the new animated series, Hazbin Hotel, I took it upon myself to create it so that there would be a thread for it where people can discuss their thoughts and ideas about the show as well as to further hype for more episodes, fan over certain characters/waifus/husbandos and even talk about other things like how it is amazing that we see a bunch of independent creators can come together to work on something like this without the backing of a corporation which often limit the artistic freedoms when it comes to attaching their names/labels on said shows. This animation was spearheaded by Vivziepop, also known as Vivienne Medrano, who went ahead to form a group called SpindleHorse Toons, a collective of amazing artists and animators working together to make videos and toons. In any case, the pilot was officially released on the 28th of October on Youtube close to Halloween. This cartoon is not meant for younger viewers as it contains a lot of adult material. What do you guys think of the series so far? Any characters that you in particular love (I think you know who I love )? Do you think this could be a testament to artists not requiring the backing of companies? I've gone ahead and also added in Helluva Boss which is a separate animated series by the same artists and Vivziepop that still takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel does. Perhaps Helluva Boss could be a separate topic of its own, but as it stands, we can talk about it here as well~ -
I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this yet. Seeing as many of you like dem japanese cartoons, feel free to list the last ones you watched here!:D I recently finished Bungou Stray Dogs and TTGL.

I thought it was averagely ok until the dogs episode and Harley Quinn / Batgirl episode. It was so good, I thought I could be very optimistic about the show's future if they could pull that out. But I'm still a bit skeptical about how the show is going to explore and resolve the dilemma that the character's arch enemies are actually their best friends in real life. It's inevitable for them to face the truth, and if they do a good job doing it in a right timing, I'm going to be very surprised. Anyway, what do you think of the show?

Hello everyone, I'm Cast Executive Director of a My Little Pony inspired creation called Equestrian Tales, we originally started doing panels and posting about this in mid 2015, then realized to stay alive we needed to play it safe and go into stealth mode we have finally gotten to the point where are comfortable coming back into the light, and finally start to share what we have been working on, first to the place where it all started, the mlp forums. We wanted to finally give an update to the progress, and where exactly we are in the production. But first just a little about the story and what we are trying to do. Equestrian Tales story takes place over 1000 years in the past of the current FiM series, pulling together elements from generation 1 and a number of our own lore building to build a bridge between the shows, and making them into one my little pony universe. We will be following the journey of a small band of friends who set out into the world to record, and retell the stories of their adventures together, helping to inspire hope in the pre-equestrian world. We have several wonderful people helping push this show through, including Rick Farmileo animator of several characters during Disney's golden age of animated movies, including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Oliver and Company, Rescuers Down under, Little Mermaid and several others, Rick was also the animator of Tulio in Road to El Dorado by Dream works. Along with Rick we have secured elements of Don Bluth animation, who created works such as The Land Before Time, Secret of Nimh, American Tale, and Anastasia. These guys are leading our animation of the generation 1 and historical elements of the pilot. We also have the help of Minty Root, Brutal Weather, Ruffu, imdrunkontea and Konsumo among others helping to push the art side of this forward. On the music side we have Marcato music, corvus, and Slender Duck (Duo Cartoonist lead composer) to start things. We are currently looking for voice talent for a few of our new characters as we push forward with production, if you are interested please leave a message here, or fill free to email me at- kenneth.casteel@harmonizeentertainment.com. We are not casting cannon characters at this time, very few will appear in the pilot, and will be used with permission. I have included just a sample of the work that's being done right now, from some concept artworks, to music samples and we will be releasing more as we can, exclusively right here and with out spoiling to much. We will also be relaunching our youtube page, will be linked here once she is ready to go again. Also some external links if you wanted to see what we had posted before- Equestria Daily New Animatic not yet released to public- Tallest Tale Part 1 - One of our talented animators of Equestrian Tales, we will be able to announce a few more soon-

The 90s were the apex of traditional animation film. The Disney Renaissance. The Land Before Time. An American Tail.,Balto, Anastasia, Sinbad, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, Prince of Egypt. etc. The introduction of Toy Story heralded the end of traditionalism and the proliferation of CG films throughout the new millennium. We had everything from Finding Nemo to Shrek to Megamind to Moana. CG has more than proven it's appeal to the masses, but what is one film that you wish was done in the 2D animated style in the vein of a 90s Disney film, A Don Bluth production, a Fox Animation offering or a Dreamworks creation? . -
There is a topic for this but it’s like 6 years old and I feel like reviving such an old thread would be against the rules I can delete this if it’s not okay to make double topics. Anyways Who remembers this show? TeenNick has been airing it on ‘Nick Rewind’ lately and my mom started recording episodes for me just a few days ago. This was like one of the biggest shows of my childhood, I adore it to no end. I don’t know much about the supposed new movie and reboot series though. Not sure if I’ll check it out though tbh.

This was just posted to YouTube a few hours ago. It shows a animation test of the show that was done in July 2009. Clear differences here is that there's no background music and the voice acting of the main characters in particular. I wonder if this scene was added later on in the early seasons. REDACTED

Recently I have been watching this girls show called 'Ever After High', and it is surprisingly good. It's pretty girly (overly so, at some points), obviously, but it wasn't half bad, I suggest you check it out. It's got an actual story and the main characters are likable with good voice acting. On the negative side, a lot of the jokes are lame, but I think this show has enough charms to be worth a watch. Out of the characters I would rather the boys and especially the animal characters had less screen-time. If you can stand the overwhelmingly girly-ness, it's a decent show.

As you might know, Disney XD recently rebooted the classic Disney Afternoon cartoon Ducktales. Here's the link to the pilot: What do you think? For those of you old enough to remember the original Ducktales, how does it compare?

We are firmly entrenched in an era of 3D CGI thanks to Pixar and Dreamworks among others. A sort of second renaissance for animated movies. But it came at the cost of the first. The peak of 2D animated movies during the 90s, when Toy Story beat out Pocahontas. 2D animation was never given the same kind of care as their 2D counter parts. Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Spirit, Prince Of Egypt, Sinbad. This was pretty much the last batch of 2D films before the trend died in the mid 2000s. What have we gotten since then? The Princess and the Frog? The MLP movie? The odd Studio Ghibli film? But what if that didn't happen? What if 3D looking CGI films just didn't catch on? Where would 2D animated movies be? What changes would we have seen? Would the industry still be flourishing like it is today? Or would it have petered out? And what films would have benefited from the 2D style today?

I am a huge Junji Ito fan, so naturally, my eyes entered paradise when I saw this. https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/adult-swim-teams-with-production-i-g-for-junji-ito-adaptation-uzumaki/ Not made by Studio Deen either, the same company responsible for the lamentably massive letdown that was The Junji Ito Collection. That and this trailer are good signs that this is not just going to be an inferior copy of the manga like Collection was, but a faithful adaptation that recaptures the unique effects and atmosphere of the original. -
I have been following this for months, and it appears that Texas based Anime dubbing company Funimation has had some very dirty work behind closed doors exposed by voice actor Chuck Huber, the voice of Dr Frank N Stein from Soul Eater, and Petra’s father from Attack on Titan. This is going on alongside the company already under a one million dollar lawsuit for terminating business relations with Vic Mignogna over unproven allegations of sexual harassment Huber writes in his affidavit that Vic and fellow voice actor Todd Haberkorn have been intimidated and threatened by coworkers Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat ever since they started working there. Huber also calls out Ronald Toye, a divorcée whose current fiancee Monica Rial works for Funimation. Toye, who is also under lawsuit by Mignogna, was stated by Huber that he was already a criminal by means of domestic violence against his ex wife. Huber also calls out Rial for being manipulated by Toye. Also stated by Huber was that Sabat and Rial directly threatened the owner Kamehacon over his decision to re-invite Mignogna to Kamehacon despite the allegations. The owner of that convention admitted that he was indeed attacked as Huber stated. As for how I see this, Chris Sabat’s personality may not be a problem to just Huber alone. I believe it’s possible that this is why Chris Patton, Shay Moore, Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, and Travis Willingham decided to walk out the door. Please feel free to add insight to the story if you have any, but this is heartbreaking. The following YouTubers cover Huber’s affidavit in greater detail, if you have the time and interest I recommend you check it out. I also have a link to a news site covering Huber’s affidavit below https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealEntNetwork https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYTgZ30cDmUS3M-dMdtDiqg https://matt-in-the-hat.com/2019/08/31/funimation-exposed-chuck-hubers-affidavit-reveals-dark-secrets-about-funimation-staff/ -
Please for the love of God do not argue on this thread, just say which one you like and what you like about it. Don’t insult either side okay. Personally I’ve always enjoyed both. The only thing that kind of gives Pokémon a teeny bit of an upper hand (not enough to consider it better than the other just like a tiny lift above) is that I never really played much in the way of Digimon’s games(I’ve only played the first 2 Digimon world games on the ps1)but have played multiple Pokémon games.(as in I think a game or two in the case of gen 2; for each gen, except the gen 3 remakes and ultra moon) As for the anime? I’ve seen about the same amount on both sides. I’ll admit Digimon’s later series aren’t great but I can at least watch them every now and then. Same goes for Pokémon. How bout you. Which side. Or are you like me and choose to stand in the middle. Designs? Honestly, I don’t have a side here; both sides have their good ones and their ridiculous ones and the kind of stupid ones. Like granted Digimon has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more mons than Pokémon so there’s a chance there could be a lot more dumb ideas for a mon on their side to you but eh.

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all that Kyoto Animation or KyoAni, suffered a catastrophic fire earlier today, which claimed the lives of 33 people and inuring 36 others. Police have confirmed that the fire was an act of arson. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49027178 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/world/asia/japan-fire-animation-studio.html KyoAni is arguably the best anime producer in the industry today, not only for the high quality of shows like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-On and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and movies like A Silent Voice, but also how they pay their employees a salary, rather than on a per frame, piece meal basis like most studios. One of the brightest examples of art and animation, now has to endure such a senseless loss. Some of the most talented writers, animators and artists in the world, have now either died or suffered horrifying injuries. But if we here are known for anything, it's our ability to come together and help. Partner company Sentai filmworks has set up a GoFundMe to help. Please do chip in whatever you can spare. We're all fans of animation here, regardless of the show or what country it came from. Whatever help you can give would be appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kyoani-heal

Animation Disney Legend Russi Taylor passed away, age 75.
YoshiAngemon posted a topic in Media Discussion
https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-legend-russi-taylor-dies-at-75/ Buttons and Bows, how horrible! She was known for the voice of Minnie Mouse, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby from the 1987 DuckTales, Baby Gonzo from Jim Henson's Muppet Babies, and also the voice of Martin Prince and Sherri and Terri from The Simpsons. I imagine that like Edna K., Groening will choose to discontinue those characters, and the bullying meant for Martin would be sent to Milhouse and Bart! But Minnie Mouse and the Nephews will need a new voice to replace her, especially in the Mickey Mouse Shorts and Mickey and the Roadster Racers. I might imagine that Daniel Ross could voice the Nephews in mainstream media, unless Tony Anselmo takes up those roles again. But I would like to see Cindy Robinson voice Minnie to make that meme of Amy sounding like Minnie come to life! Plus, she'd be reunited with fellow Sonic Boom Alumni Nika Futterman (Sticks on Sonic Boom, Cuckoo Loca on Roadster Racers).
