Arcane: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix
  • I'm not sure about what the arcane would be linked to. I don't know League lore. About Mel's mom, I think her taking power was setup near the end of Season 1, but it's interesting to consider that it might be a red herring. I think Arcane's world and storytelling are nuanced enough that's it's not just going to be a straightfoward Zaun vs Piltover vs Noxus. There's probably going to be a lot more subtlety in the conflicts that the arcane is going to play a part in.

    Arcane: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix
  • Oh man, I'm so excited! I really like that they're continuing to keep the fates of the people in the council hidden.

    "The Arcane is waking up" is hype. I wonder what that means for the story of S2.

  • Animation Discussion: What Are You Watching And Recommending This Week? (September 2, 2024)
  • I've been watching Lastman and am about halfway through season 1. It's a french animated show directed by Jérémie Périn who also directed Mars Express. I was inspired by watching that film to check out more work by the director. So far it's really fun. They are short 12-13 min episodes with a lot of swag (for lack of a better term). Great direction as expected and genuinely funny too. I think it's an awesome example of how to do lower budget animation that still looks really good.

  • Animation Discussion: What Are You Watching And Recommending This Week? (August 26, 2024)
  • I watched Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds over the weekend and it's a beautifully made film with stunning art and music. The director was apparently inspired by Miyazaki films and Yellow Submarine and it shows in the fun plot and trippy visuals. Like most great kids films, I'd recommend this to adults as well because of how it deals with themes of family, love, and empathy.

  • The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim | Official Trailer
  • I usually try not to be negative but this just doesn't "feel" like Lord of the Rings. Also showing clips of the LOTR films in the beginning is just weird. The animation looks solid even if I don't think the overly Anime character design works for Tolkien's world.

    As a fan of Tolkien it is also kind of funny to me that the focus is on the daughter of one of the coolest characters in the books. A daughter that isn't even named.

  • [Weekly Discussion] What are you watching and what do you recommend? (August 19, 2024)
  • 5 episodes into the nw Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which is a spinoff of last years Mutant Mayhem movie and it's a pretty solid show. I like that it focuses more on the individual brothers separate from the group to help flesh them out a little bit. The 2D animation is pretty solid. I think they managed to replicate a lot of the vibe of the movie's CGI. Keeping the movie's voice cast for the turtles and April was excellent. My gripes are that so far the main plot isn't super engaging and I find the show to just not be as funny as the movie. The music is also just whatever.
