Chip'n Dale, Rescue Rangers ("The Case of Cola Cult" and "Risky Beesness")
"Rescue Rangers" does present an interesting picture of Disney's televised animation in a transitional state.
The Amazing Digital Circus E2: "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
A pathetic figure, broken and trying his best even though doing so just breaks himself even more. Isn't that the state of what passes for "AI" development these days?
Poorly Drawn Lines S1E5: "Exercise Day"
If any of you have seen the animated "Peanuts" or "Garfield" cartoons, it kind of has that sort of vibe.
Bee and Puppycat (pilot)
In which we take a depressing "cringefail girl" sitcom and suddenly invade it with a weird mixture of Adventure Time, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and maybe a little bit of Captain Harlock.
OK K.O. S1E32: "No More Pow Cards"
I don't think I'm ever going to grow to like this show's visual style.
"Double King"
I don't know what - if anything - "Double King" is saying. But I don't know that it needs to say anything to succeed at being itself.
Hilda S1E3: "The Bird Parade"
Family-friendly entertainment media is hardly a new concept of course, but something about the way that Hilda does it feels like the medium making itself part of the message.
Hilda S1E1-3
I've seen cartoons with better visuals than "Hilda," but I'm not sure if I've seen any that do as much with as little as "Hilda."
Mob Psycho 100 S2E3-5 (continued)
It might not be literal, but it is true. It is an accurate artistic representation.
"Little Runmo" and "The Amazing Digital Circus"
A vibe that I’ve come to call “Nintendo Gnostic.”
Gargoyles S1E1-5: "Awakening" (continued)
Now, you might be asking: "how the hell did someone like this end up in the NYPD?" The answer is that 90's cartoon cops are a mythological creature that bears only coincidental resemblance to anything in real life. They are much like the gargoyles themselves in this way.
Gargoyles S1E1-5: "Awakening"
Yeah don't ask me how those thin little support struts are supposed to hold up half a castle's worth of weight. Or how the tower is supposed to hold them up in turn. There was another wizard involved in building this office building I guess.
Sonny Boy E1-3
"Sonny Boy" is an experimental original anime that came out in 2021, and that dared to ask the question "what if a bunch of high schoolers got randomly teleported into a series of sociology thought experiments?"
Did asking this question actually require very much daring? On second thoughts, no, not really. Still a decent premise though.
Arcane (part 2: episodes 4-6)
I did not expect this show to go 1/10th as deep as it has. Kinda floored.
Arcane (part 1: episodes 1-3)
His two hobbies are human experimentation and child murder. And...he might actually be on the right side of history.
Monster S1E6-12 (continued)
Episode 9, "The Girl and the Seasoned Soldier," has our hero seeking out a master to train him in the arts of the warrior so that he may go out and confront the villain.
I never expected to type that sequence of words when describing Monster of all damned things, but this series is nothing if not surprising.
Monster S1E6-12
Johan is probably the smarter one, then. He may or may not turn out to be physically stronger as well (the way things are going, I suspect that he will). And he's a psychopathic megalomaniac.
Partial augments don't necessarily have the superior ambition problem.
