As a Canadian I feel the need to apologize

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yo7P6YjYwk&feature=related
On behalf of my country for unleashing this mistake of nature to the world.

Spoiler

This isn't a nightmare
THIS SHOW IS REAL!

 

I kept reading her name as 'Bitch'.

It looks okay to me if you have no penchant for quality.

 

It's not bad... Just not what I'd call Anime

 

Nope
It's bad.
Very bad.
Imagine every bad piece of fanart and fan fiction on Deviantart, every Death Note Yaoi fanart, every weeaboo fantasy, every "OMG SASUKE IS SUCH A BISHIE!" fangirl
Now turn all those into a single show
This is what you get.

 

I . . . I . . .

I don't even . . .

 

We Americans already unleashed Jersey Shore onto the world.

 

I imagine this is like the end result of if the people behind Neko Sugar Girls took it seriously.

 

Deviantart the Animation?

Somebody kill me...

 

There would have to be at least ten times more yaoi if it came from dA.

 

Meh, it wasn't terrible, but doesn't look like something I'm interested in. It looked like it was adapted from one of those Tokyo Pop American-mangas that they did for a while. Of course, look at where Tokyo Pop is now (in the US anyway).

Oh; this was in the suggested videos right next to it:

The show looks alright. A bit too anime, but I have ot admit if there are anime artists born in Canada i'll give them props for not conforming to the usual western art style.

You have not seen some of the British cartoon shows for teens.
Die-ah-bo-li-cal. Thank goodness for anime.

 

What the hell is the "usual western artsyle?"

This show isn't even TRYING to have it's own distinct artstyle, it's blatantly copying the style of a typical anime, and most modern day anime don't even look like this anymore.
Not to mention it's animated in Flash.
I would much prefer that it has it's own style that distinguished it from everything else (Superjail, Adventure Time, Avatar) rather then just copying anime.

 

Western styles are usually akin to what is used in shows produced by Marvel or DC. Though there are loads of variations and sub types.

Japanese shows have usually consistent art styles with each other. Just because this is Canadian should make a great difference on how it is judged. And it is likely a low budget project compared to the Japanese shows you're comparing it to, so it may not have the ability but to be a copy cat show, with a few twists and turns.

Like I said, how many shows that have an anime art style are ever produced outside of Japan?

 

Show looks aight. Reminds me of Kappa Mikey.




I'd watch it.

 

Originality died out long ago.

 

First: Jube's Canadian?? Neat!
Second: "My life me" isn't proper english.
Third: did she really feel the need to do a running narrative?

And that's my only opinion on the subject. I will not say anything about art style or animation techniques. I'm staying out of that argument.

 

I'd like to know what you consider original
If you think there's no originality in animation these days then you're watching it with your eyes closed.

 

We forgive you, Canada.
You gave us Scott Pilgrim.
