OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes Ep1-6(released 2 months early on CN App)

The show is airing in August. The show is very much video game-inspired, so it makes sense that unlike other Cartoon Network shows, and reminds me of early episodes of Steven Universe and Adventure Time with sense of fun and wonder. also a lot of anime references.

Studio Trigger Animators help on the opening.

Storyboard: Hiroyuki Imaishi

Director: Jeremy Polgar

Revisions & Additional Animation: Max Collins, Anna Craig, Ian Jones-Quartey

Music: Mint Potion Studios


Presenting the rough animatic for the show’s main titles! This was a true labor of love and a chance to work with one of my animation heroes, Hiroyuki Imaishi(Best known as the co-founder of Studio Trigger)!

For this project, we began by solidifying the theme song. Our team at Mint Potion Studios,

ANNECY 2017

Alot of Animation news coming from the festival:

Wakfu Season 3 Ep1 and Mutafukaz had their premier and impressions have been fantastic for both projects.
Some gif were released for Wakfu S3(they are huge spoilers one released)




-Genco Pitches “Pluto” Anime:
Manga is fantastic and if you love Monster, Billy Bat etc. it's a must read.

Pluto is based on Naoki Urasawa’s manga of the same name. The Eisner-award nominated project is based on a story arc from Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy manga, titled “The Greatest Robot on Earth.” Pluto ran in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Original from September 2003 through April 2009, and spanned eight collected volumes.

-Emara: Emirates Hero:
Arabic inspired Anime for international broadcast

The five-episode cartoon, aimed at audiences 12 and above, follows 19-year-old Moza as she delves undercover and transforms into superhero Emara. Clad in a navy blue headscarf, a green, white and gold costume, a cape lined with red, and golden specs inspired by the burqa (a traditional, metal-like cloth worn around the eyes by Emirati women), Emara fights crime on the busy, bustling streets of the UAE.

Little Witch Academia Ep 24 Preview

Spoiler: show

Let's try not to spoil the critical moment if the episode this week a day before the subs come out, yeah?

[Virg]

Last ep of Quan Zhi Gao Shou was really good. That fight between Captain Han and Lord Grim was pretty epic. Can´t wait for next season.

it's a shame we won't see season 2 until 2018


Little Witch Academia Ep 24

I am surprised with how this episode went, I have no idea how they will end the show next week.

Spoiler: show

As expected Akko forgave Chariot and unlocked the final word. also It was pretty sweet Akko told Chariot she loves her.

Quan Zhi Gao Shou or The King's Avatar season 2 has been announced and now is set to release in 2018! The bad news is that the original animation studio who worked on it will most likely not be returning as they have other projects lined up for 2018 already, but thankfully we will be getting a season 2 early. I just hope the production ends up on the same level and that the previous animation studio continue to flourish in the future. There has also been a live action adaptation announced for The King's Avatar, set to begin recording in September and that news has many fans with similar mixed feelings.

Welcome to the Wayne Ep2 (Pre-air)

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to release the second episode(on Itunes) for a serialized mystery cartoon. I was confused as the characters were talking about events from first episode (won't be available until July 24th when it airs on Nick).

Anyway Nick is clearly going after Gravity Falls, Steven universe, Star Vs fanbase demographic with this show, The series follows the adventures of Ansi, Olly and Saraline as they unlock the secrets and mysteries on the Wayne Hotel. I can't say it's good or bad yet, as I need more episodes to see how the plot unfolds but I like what I've seen so far.


Resident Evil Vendetta(Digital Release)

Although this is not saying much, is the best Resident Evil CGI Movie I’ve seen, delivers the occasional jump scare and a couple of well animated action scenes. Chris and Leon tag teaming the Zombies and the last boss with Leon was pure stupid fun. you see Chris suplexing and punching zombies like a boss.

Some really great zombie designs

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari anime announced.
Anime Expo Will have the exclusive Trailer premiere on July 1st(FLCL Seasons 2 and 3 Trailer etc on July 2nd).

I remember the Manga was popular when it first started, I think it died pretty fast as it went on.

[Gulkeeva]

Mangas still pretty decent, its just the updates to it have died out for whatever reason. Used to be like one every few weeks, then a month+

Looking forward to seeing it animated for sure.

Boku no Hero Academia S2 TV

Studio Bones and Jump is hyping the Next Arc. Thanks to improved Animation and better character setups Season 2 has helped Manga sales in Japan. Pretty happy for the author he had 2-3 failure titles before Boku no Hero Academia.

First I saw the Trigger one hour broadcast before final which was a lot of fun:

Spoiler: show

Highlights
-They announced at the start this was a staff interview about the show and their next Anime projects will be at AX.
-First was character designer of LWA. what was funny he was wearing a Dragon Ball T-shirt and interview just went on how he Loves Dragon ball Super and Boku no Hero Academia with hardly anything involving LWA.
-Second interview was Director Yoh Yoshinari and Live Stream were begging to make a second season of LWA which he doesn't want, but he is open for an OVA.
-Third interview was with Animator Takafumi Hori. best was him wearing Ultraman T-shirt then jokingly wearing a Constanze T-shirt he personally designed(it looked great) and went that on how Constanze is his favorite character.
-before the broadcast end, they said if your following the Animator and their friends to check their fanart posts after the episode ends.
