[TV] The What Animation Are You Watching Thread 2!: The Sequel!

And I finished MTV's Downtown, ...anyone else think this was Regular Show before Regular Show existed? Alex=Mordecai, Goat=Rigby/Muscleman, Serena=Margaret, Jen=Cloudy Jay/Starla(as many theorize Goat and her hooked up for obvious reasons). Even so I wish I could warp through the TV and say "DUDE! Serena, SUCKS! Date literally anyone else! Date the chick who used to have a penis for all I care, at least she had a real persona instead of being a goth cam-whore!" Seriously if he lost it with Jen, Teeny was a safe bet, nice girl there.

Now you need to watch Megas XLR, which ALSO features Goat. Yes, it's the SAME GUY in two wildly different universes. He's also made a brief cameo on Metalocalypse.

I'll never understand Cartoon Network sometimes... they hated Megas XLR and Symbionic Titan SO MUCH that they've completed written the shows off legally and can never do anything with them again. They don't even know who owns the rights anymore or even care.
 
LOVED Megas XLR, and watching Downtown it was super weird seeing a universe where Goat got layed all the time. And yes Cartoon Newtwork hates robots for some reason.
 
On today's TMNT, the turtles fight a giant mutant Shredder with the Turtle Mech...what are you doing just reading this post- GO WATCH THE EPISODE!

And onto Steven Universe news, Cartoon Network released 25 names for upcoming episodes with NO description as a way of torturing the fan-base.

Rick and Morty

I am always surprised by how clever this show is, but also by how surprisingly dark it is. It doesn't pull punches about anything that happens on the show.

Like gunning down that last parasite and it turning out to be real. On any other show that would be a throw away gag but here you get to see the panicked look on everyone's faces as he slowly dies, while Morty's Mom sobs as she shakily pours another glass of wine, trying to forget it ever happened. That's SO completely fucked up.

First airing is while I'm driving to work, and of course my only customers of the night so far were during the second. I'll have to catch up on the bits I missed when I get home. :p

The only way it could have been darker would have been if Joss Whedon was involved with the show -- the joke would have been finding out that a regular character was a parasite all along and then killing them.

Best line of the night was probably "What is this, '90's Conan'"?

It looks like someone doesn't like to share.
Congratulations, you're a real poster and not a brain parasite.
[/Rick's Voice]
 
Heh, sorry about that. Two eps I'm looking forward to are "Kiki's Delivery Service"(About TIME she got some development) and "Monster Reunion" as there's a HIGH chance Centipeetle will be in it because of that name...or Steven will pop all the monster bubbles and they all become chibi-monsters- EITHER WAY I'm cool.

Best line from Rick and Morty last night-
Beth: UH- I need some time to get over sleepy Gary.

Jerry:...me too.

Really, you think that's more fucked up then
him telling her through the nurse that he's sorry for her not having any bad memories with him?

To be perfectly honest, nothing beats...

Morty almost getting raped by King Jelly Bean in "Meeseeks and Destroy". At the same time, Rick had probably one of the most legitimately heartwarming moments in the series when he made that fucking jelly bean PAY. Really, as often as they portray attempted rapes in this show (3 and counting, plus the one where Summer's boyfriend mentions he'd been violated before), at least it's never FUNNY when it happens.
 
Rick and Morty Spoilers

After all the negative continuity, I can't believe they actually did that to a major character. I wonder if they're actually going to have the guts to have Mr. Poopybutthole not be living there next episode.

I, too, intend to start watching this. I'm almost through Malcolm In the Middle's third season and I need something else to watch for a while.

It's impossible for me to not say FUCK YEAH whenever I see him shoot that beany bastard. I also like that after the nastiness, Rick was REALLY nice to Morty, my favorite episodes of any character are the ones where they can show themselves being the opposite of what they are.

I highly recommend Rick and Morty. The first episode is weak, but it immediately gets much better.

Someone doesn't watch the after credits scenes.
 
Hell, I just watched the first episode and it sold me.
The pre-intro had me laughing just because I've seen that villain motivation many times.

And surprise in the credits--Dan Harmon is the co-creator.

Although now with all these spoilers, I'm feeling like non-Steven Universe watchers must feel.
 
Ha. I didn't click the spoilers! THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME BITCHES
I just meant seeing a page full of spoilers I can't touch :p. It'll be fun to go through them once caught up.

I wish it was this easy to catch up on Steven Universe. All of Rick and Morty is up on online on Adult Swim, so it's pretty easy to dig in.

Stupid adultswim.com blocks chromecasting, so I'm pirating it just to spite them.
 
Plus it's not the whole thing.

I mean, it's possible to buy half seasons on Amazon, but I really wish they'd just put out the damn DVDs. And not random mish-mash of episodes, but full seasons.
I don't understand what you mean, the full Season 1 DVD/Blurays have been out for a while, and Amazon sells the entire first season for streaming (I know because I bought it).

I'm gonna go hide in a corner.


(My brain reverted to Steven Universe; so took the conversation in that direction. Sorry, this is time for Rick and Morty right now.)
 
Regular Show

...wait a minute-
-Margaret is capable of being in plots that AREN'T about the romantic bull-crap between her and Mordo? THIS IS NEWS OF THE CENTURY! Also loved that CJ cameo, that's some silent rage right there. I wonder if she still hangs with Eileen?
 
So for whatever reason Netflix is suddenly missing the second season of a bunch of cartoons now. Young Justice, for one thing, only has the first season now.
