On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don't think it's excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn't advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

Kung Pow is a cinematic triumph

Edit: there's an animated cow so it counts

It may have a critical rating of 13% but it's audience rating is 69%.

I remember watching it in theaters. I laughed my ass off the first 30 minutes or so and my face hurt from it. Then the shtick started to get old.

The real masterpiece is the movie that all of the footage is from, "Master of the Flying Guillotine"

Its far more entertaining and shockingly influential.

Master of the Flying Guillotine is one of my all time favorites along with the One Armed Boxer.

But Kung Pow used Savage Killers, also known as Tiger& Crane Fists

Tiger. Tiger, tiger. Bird. Birdy, birdy.
