Is it good?
>>153641787idk
>More classic regular show but with slightly off artI mean, I love it. I like that one eileen and margaret episode
>>153641787Honest opinion>Animation can look weird while other times it looks the same as usual. Depends on how much you notice that kind of stuff and if it bothers you>Pacing is wonky in a few of the current eps. Feels like they are getting back into the swing of things while the latter eps feel better>Generally speaking, it feels like old Regular Show for the most part>Eps take place all over the timeline with Nap Spot taking place around when Mordecai and Rigby first got hiredOverall I am liking it well enough. Curious where the overall arc with Pops and the tapes goes and if it is setting up anything further since its kind of a continuation
>>153641787It's more of the same shit sans "The Lore" as you got a decade ago. How much did you enjoy that?
I haven't seen it beyond clips but I don't understand why the animation looks so bad at times. I thought they must have changed the animation studio, but seemingly it's still Saerom.The animation in the Gumball revival looked fine. Honestly it looked like an improvement over the original show's most of the time. Did CN have no faith in Regular Show and cut its budget? Was Gumball able to keep its animation due to being partly financed by Disney?
>>153641850Boba and the Eileen/Margaret ep were the best ones so far for me. I think the Luau one was the weakest
>>153641941They changed to digital and have some different people I think. Its weird though as at other times the animation looks like it used to like when Pops is messing with the tape
>>153641787The writing is off. Aside from pic related and Eileen saying "Lock in, Margaret", the story structure also feels wrong. I sort of get Muscle Man building a hovercraft because they had the blueprints, but they didn't even explain the dumbass suits that were used to mistake them for aliens. Usually there'd at least be a scene where one of them asks "why do we have to wear this?" and MM would say something like "safety suits dude" or whatever. It's just random for the sake of random, like no "method to the madness" feeling the OG had. Feels more like how Pickle and Peanut handles humor.
The off art makes it pretty hard to enjoy completely, and like >>153642144said the story structure and character writing can feel a bit off. I still enjoyed it quite a bit though
>>153641787Thanks to patented chud technology, see your favorite characters how you never wanted to see them before.
>>153642948god the animation and just specific poses feel so off. This ep in particular had such a weird structure. Like in the older seasons, the plot would usually have the main conflict at the end be Mordecai and Rigby compete against the blade tards to save the park, or something that ties closer to the 80's motivational lady. Instead they just come in and wreck shit, Benson "cries" to get rid of them and to get M+R to do their work, and that's it. Still feels like a rough draft.
It is good albeit a little different You can clearly hear the aging in their voices though.I would have preferred if they adapted the comics
>>153642948muscle man comes into the scene like an ai video, kind of similar facial ai movement too
>>153643114im 99% sure the episodes are just scrapped ideas they had from 15 years ago
>>153643231They certainly don't feel unique or interesting enough to deserve the dramatic "hidden away stories" plot thread.
Why did only the Pops storyline feel like it had normal writing?
>>153641787It's good because it has a cute angel in it.
yea
>>153641787I have sexual innuendo fatigue.
>>153641850Same
>>153642948This feels as off as the change in animation during the last season of Fairy Odd Parents. It was like watching a YT animation more than a cartoon.
At least the backgrounds didn't suffer.
>>153645130fat margaret fanart when?
>>153641850it was fun seeing them both getting into mordecai and rigbby tier situations
>>153645897Why does it always have to be fat? Why can't we just depict people enjoying food without making them all bloated and deformed?
>>153643327There is no other way to squeeze them into canon
>>153641787I'd prefer Close Enough to come backYes, even after the girlboss episode
>>153644309>i'm too much of a prude bitch to blow air through my nose at a balls joke
>>153646242What? You can totally do crazy episodic stuff with the characters that don't change their status quo. They already teased one-off episodes exploring characters' pasts and stuff.You can still do normal episodic stories but make them feel more like you're seeing secret adventures that were locked away.
>>153646320The Lost Tapes monikor and plot thread of them being stashed away, makes me think of semi-inappropriate (still within their current limits) secret unseen episodes like "Mordecai tries to find an art job, but ends up getting stuck painting PG nude portraits of people", not "Benson watches a generic how to video on getting Mordecai and Rigby to do their jobs that fails until he cries awkwardly." Like who cares and why would tapes like these be hidden away, aside from people's jokes about how the episodes suck.
Wait, the management episode was new? I actually thought it was an old episode I missed. Come to think of it it did seem slightly off somehow.
>>153641787The show's pacing feels as rushed as it did in the later seasons. Also, the vector-rigged animation, while attempting to mimic the traditional 1st season off-model style, ends up being off-putting. I liked the boba ep tho
>>153646376The angel told Pops they only get one tape when they get to heaven so I am also curious how much they're actually going to explain about these random extra tapes he wasn't given. The last time I was interested in an RS arc it was the Spark Initiative stuff that literally went nowhere. They were putting all these conspiracy threads into the episodes and about how they were evil, but ultimately once they went to space they didn't get to explore that before jumping into Pops' arc speedrun after cancellation.I don't really have expectations on the depth or mystery in an RS arc since then. The show obviously isn't something like Gravity Falls where it's ingrained into the creator's desire, but I still feel like the RS crew is trying to be ambitious enough it could go somewhere. They have a lot of potential with something this fresh. But I feel like we're already sort of seeing how it'll all be kind of "obvious" mysteries like with Jampft, he was clearly an antagonist and part of a building format war just from his debut. It reminds me of how in S7 they blatantly showed blueprints of the park launching into space but still acted like that was a big surprise for some reason. I hope they try to be more subtle with a big event coming this time.
>>153641941G-ball already had a rigged/hand-drawn hybrid animation pipeline perfected in its original run--all done directly on digital software as opposed to scanning paper drawings--so I'd like to think that made it easier to get back in the swing of things for its revival (as well as raising the quality here and there). It's also produced in Europe with a more close-knit overall crew compared to Regular Show's pre-production team shipping to a country on the other side of the world and simply having to make do with the usually imperfect end result they receive months later. Just an advantage all these revivals of once-hand-drawn cartoons struggle to recreate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GleTI7jDWOs
>>153645130This, but she's gagging on an unrealistically thick cock instead.
>>153646510man we're already about to go through the awful song and dance of koth s14 for its next season again. terrible clips, foreboding titles and descriptions, and a disappointing drop of shit episodes.
I just remembered we're going to have to deal with a fucking party horse episode in this modern quality. Not just bad animation and vectors, but the writing too. How much do you want to bet someone say something about him partying so much to accomodate for fragile masculinity?
>>153646632>How much do you want to bet someone say something about him partying so much to accomodate for fragile masculinity?let's not be rash. imho the show is there in spirit but some parts of the dialogue do not align with the characters they're being said from. you can immediately tell that this is a different batch of writers just by how muscle man talks in episode 3.
>>153646791im watching these as they air on tv. sad to know i still haven't heard of all the shit dialogue from the earlier examples yet. also it's not an issue on its own, but for regular show i'd hope they don't make a habit out of these silly ass character transitions. it feels too childish.
>>153646976>they used a render with all the trash bags loaded to transition to a scene where they first load the trash bags onto the craft
I really hope part of what they were saying about being able to get away with more again means we get a great Halloween special out of this. They even noted in S8 how the halloween ones "became weak." Give us some crazy deaths of the MCs again.I still doubt we'll see anything again like Mitch being dragged off into the woods as we hear gunshots, and then he shows up with his skin ripped off and dies in front of everyone.
>>153642144>>153642948This is what original RG would have been if it aired on Nick instead.
>>153647252>RGWhat do you think this show is called?
>>153647314Rapin' Grannies.
>>153641787>Is it good?yeah
Rigby is cute and that's all I care about.
rick and morty is animated better than this and it IS fully rigged. they showed they're still capable of normal animation in pops' scene with the fucked up tape. what happened in literally every other episode?!
THE COOLEST
I can tell the storyboarders are trying sometimes, so it really pisses me off Saerom is clearly destroying any semblence of quality through their constant cheap digital shortcuts.
>>153641787>Is it good?it's middle of the road, like the later seasons of Regular Show
>>153641787Huh. It's already out?
>>153645276FOP's switch had worse animation I.M.O but I get what you mean
Why does there seem to be a running gag about oversized objects just randomly appearing for no rhyme or reason and never acknowledged.
>unwanted hugs can be considered workplace harassment, but it’s okay because it’s the 80s!
>>153647985this was tame enough that it could go either way, like making a jab at current bullshit or mocking that it was ever ok. benson's grimmace at her talking about it could also be interpreted either as "ew that is so wrong that they used to be ok with that" or that she was trying to sell another tapestill kinda sucks to hear about this sort of thing in regular show
>>153641787the animation looks like those bumpers that were made for CN Latin america
>Sam Marin says he only got one hour of sleep before recording the first episode of ‘Regular Show: The Lost Tapes.’ The voice actor behind Pops, Benson, Muscle Man and more says he was too anxious to sleep.damn. one hour of sleep and he can still deliver on multiple unique character voices throughout the entire 30 minute special and yet a professional animation company shits this garbage out
>jg is adapting the bitchy lesbian comicthat sucks, but at least the forced revival of regular show can be something reliable>it fucking blows and is animated like a preschool cartoonit's going to really depress me if that magic lesbian club cartoon has normal animation
I saw this shit on TV recently and thought it was awful. Turns out it was made by one of the new writers on Lost Tapes. Between that and Monica "Slay" Ray I can see why this shit fell apart.People are not capable of making Regular Show or anything like it post-2016. Stop bringing good shit back just to ruin it with new people who shouldn't be anywhere near it. The only reason people are seeing this revival as serviceable is because they were able to retain a lot of original talent. But even that only gets you so far ten years later.
>>153647556BOBBA CASANOOOOOOOVAAAA!!!
>>153642948Why does the animation lowkey look like Rick and Morty now?
it's shit, don't bother watching it. Stick to the first 3 seasons.
>>153641787It's pretty decent.
we're getting 40 episodes so i'm just trying to stay optimistic that the visuals and writing will get better. i'm not expecting any homeruns, but the boba one from what i've seen seems like what i'd expect. a season 6/7 type episode but slightly off/modern. i'm hoping fix that tape is a sign they're trying to save the animation for more noteworthy episodes. blade games was kinda shit as an episode in and of itself, very bland and tiresome wacky modern cartoon writing, so i'm not as annoyed it was animated like shit if it means they're going to have better combs of animation/writing quality later.it's just the last bit of optimism i can ever have for something.
what the fuck happened here. it even aired on tv like this
>>153642144There's a lot more randumb style humor this round>Rigby randomly suggesting they use his shiny blue bike(?) just so Benson can say no wheels!>They put on those stupid suits with no explanation as to why>random giant binoculars with Skips, random giant hedge trimmers Rigby can sit underand that was just in the first 2 episodes. i feel like they're writing more in line with adventure time or something. and i say that as someone who liked early adventure time and its nonsensical approach, it just feels tonally confused when put on RS
>>153641787I stopped watching RG at the Mordecaibowl, these episodes are a return to form to the first seasons
>>153650223?Why does it look so stiff?
JG's delivery as Mordecai still makes me happy even though the characters feel lifeless and near-unofficial because of the animation>it's a bam-blade. schwing!>braaassss knuckles!good ol mordo
The pacing is so weird. Why did they cut off this celebrity guy during this scene as he starts talking? It feels so unnatural and fucked up.
>>153650636This episode was so childish. Mordecai and Rigby being interested in people going nuts with knives and blades is good. Them fucking around and wanting to do it too is good. The writing takes a dive though when they see the blade games poster on the garage door and think it's some officially sanctioned thing and start acting like children getting tricked by it by a parent, even when Benson tells the real guys it's fake they (especially Mordecai) look distraught like they thought they were in some real official competition as opposed to at least just something for fun. What the hell even was this.I don't know, that one was so weak. I really hope most of the episodes don't feel like imitation RS, that made the characters feel lifeless and sterile.
I love animation in 2026.
>>153650636>>153650686This. I thought episode 1 was pretty good. The pops part was actually kino and the luau part was pretty accurate and fun. Then episode 2 started and everything took a nosedive straight to the floor. Animation, pacing, everything. I kept episodes 3-5 for another day because I was so put off by it. It was disgustingly bad. Mordecai and Rigby feel like children and nobody was acting right. Benson acting like a bitch. And like...>>153650765What the fuck even is this? How did this make it on air? This is like crappy 80s cartoon level of animation error retardation. There was a part with Mordecai that looked so cartoony and off when he sliced the bamboo too. Normally I'm not very picky but this was pretty egregious.
>>153649318>>153650291I've to hard agree with this, this revival seems more to be what women and SU/late season ATfags think what Regular Show was like rather than what it actually is, they cannotwritea real dudebro cartoonto save their livee.
>>153649235Lmao and forget that once that shitty dyke show unsurprisingly fails you will see the writers or even it's own creator crying on Bluesky and Twitter about the industry only greenlighting already proven successful IPs and blaming the audience rather than take accountability for their slop
>>153650765The car is edited in, right?
>>153641787s'okay
Regular show completely jumped the shark when they went to space. I watched a few of the episodes that took place in space, but they were just so unoriginal and bad, it felt super forced too.
>>153650592why even ask if you know exactly why. Every revival in recent memory has been like this
>>153652532>Regular show completely jumped the shark when they got trapped in a domeftfy
>>153650955either get off your phone or proofread your posts first ffs
>>153650392>RG..?>these episodes are a return to form to the first seasonssee image
>>153651377Anon... I....
>>153642948wow grim, this looks like one of these weird porn animations
Imagine an episode where Benson fires Mordecai and Rigby and hires picrel and the whole episode is them fucking up shit at the park with Benson too stubborn to get rid of them and hire Mordecai and Rigby back.
>>153647414We should've gotten some expansion fanservice.
>>153653280isn't Paramount about to acquire WB soon? this could be possible
>>153653402>We should've gotten some expansion fanservice with CJftfy
>>153653404Possibly possible. But B&B might piss Benson off so much that his head explodes.
>>153654048if they're bringing back a bunch of old concepts i wonder if we'll see benson's nuclear reaction with flaming gumballs in his head again somewhere. a shame they didn't use that type of rage for the series finale. they totally could've built up is anger about getting launched into space, being displaced as any form of leader because of the spark shit and rawls, and getting tired of the bullshit. ultimately most of the cast weren't really characters in the finale, they just stood around and fought a second enemy.gravity falls had that problem too where dipper and mabel didn't really do much in the finale.
>>153654137they didn't use that again because it looked like they were ripping off dragon ball z
>>153654602anon pop's final form in the series finale was literally just giving him super saiyan hair. and they had concept art for it that would've been far more unique. he looked like an epic old man and was wearing the collesium as armor and the park guys were standing on it
>>153647556BIG AHH MUHHFUKIN HEAD
>>153655249It's okay anon you can say ass here
>>153655316and you can eat mine real good
>>153655345I'm not in the market for AIDS so I'll have to make like a blood drive and turn you down.
>>153641787I wish there was a Clarence spin-off instead.
>>153641787>Wait... is this the brand new Regular Show: The Lost Tapes? This makes NO. SENSE... But I LOVE IT. I could watch this ALL. DAY.I fucking hate the advertising.
>>153655762>Clarence: The Teenage YearsYou know that we're giving them ideas, right?
>>153656482he would be put in prison and on like 15 different mood balancing drugs right before the school shooting
we went from>if i catch you guys slacking off again I'M GONNA TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMBto>if you're up here slacking im gonna freak
>but you probably don't get what i'm saying...>yes i do!>ha!>ah!ugh
Which alternative cartoon series would be ideal for me, since I hate Regular Show, hate the 1980's, hate Rigby, hate Mordecai, and want a series that's the antithesis of Regular Show?
>>153657288big mouth
>>153657308 Reasons Why big mouth be my ideal alternative to the mess that is Regular Show?
>>153657353Its for fags so it would be up your alley
