So apparently I lost my faith in animation and never noticed.

Unlike my last unhappy rant, this is a bit more fun and upbeat!

So, I like cartoons, lots of cartoons. Old cartoons, new cartoons, Japanese, Western, French (once). However somewhere along the line I became one of those 'in my day' folks. You know, the 'you see an add for this new thing' and go 'in my day we had good cartoons, none of this riff-raff ( Read more... )

I wanted to use an appropriate journal, don't mind me ( ... )

If MLP is on I'll watch it, but I don't seek it out like my YJ and TP, which I adore beyond reason.

Teen Titans had such potential but they kept taking easy paths. They started with a pre-established team and when we finally GOT to a 'how the team met' they did it all in one ep instead of spreading it out. It was fun but not as enticing as YJ has proven to be.

I am hoping the upcoming eps will bring more Robin spotlight for my own personal bias (I have a journal for him and all). I'm also surprised how good I am with the voice cast considering my unending love for the old DCAU. It and Transformers Prime have phenominal voice casting going for them.

I have to admit I am EXTREMELY biased to the old DCAU voice cast. JLU was one of my FAVORITE things in the "good ole days" so it's always a little harder for me to adjust to new versions of DC universe because of different actors.

Granted, we're not hearing as much from the JL side of things but so far I do love ALL of the voice acting and this show is just done so well. It reminds me of the JLU days in a way that Teen Titans did not.

You have made me curious about Transformers Prime, but I was never much of a Transformers kid...then again, I was never much of an MLP kid and I like that reboot just fine?

I constantly get weirded out by the Animated DC films as they keep rotating the voicecast. They use well known people, and good voice actors, but the lack of some level of continuity gets to me.

I don't mind the new cast even when I miss the old cast.

Prime is... it borrows from Bay's films a little on the design and some dialog. It's close to that but without all the fail that is Bay's films. You can track the fight scenes and you don't get lost in 8 billion explosions. It's worth a shot, it has top notch voices, and if you enjoy Power Rangers you'll enjoy this. And while the kids are in the way as often as not, they aren't as obtrusive as the humans in the Bay films.
