Zerocalcare’s third series is out:https://www.netflix.com/title/81738479
>>153910858I LOVE ITALIAN BIG MOUTH!
>>153911173Fuck off with that shit.
>>153911236You're right, this technically predates Big Mouth, so the latter is more like an American TATDL.
>>153910858I didn't even knew there was a second one...
>>153910858Anyone got a link to download from?
>>153910858>Sai cuando subi ad un nuovo autobus che non hai mai provato in vita tua come se fosse una spedizione nelle giungle di Borneo E puoi vedi tutti questi occhi sconosciuti che ti giudicanno come un estraterrestre scienduto del suo pianeta giusto per prendere la linea 32 a Fregacazzo - fermata finale un martedi matina. Alora ti metti fino al fondo pensando di essera fuora di vista ma di subito hai la sensazione che la tua pelle diventa nera e che ti chiami Rosa Parks. E puoi c'e sempre la ragazzina che non manca. Quella dal capello rosso tipo Leeloo nel Quinto Elemento. Tu sei stanca, demoralizzata, esci di una giornata di merda per cominciare otra giornata di merda e lei viene con la sua voce di miele dolce dire cose del genere "Uuu, goscio mio, ma cuanto mi piace la tua vestimenta coordinata". E tu che non hai sentito complimenti da anni, ti vendono acqua nel mezzo dil Kalahari. E cosi, per essera assolutamente sicura di confermare lo studio in doppio cecco domandi se davvero lo pensava. Ma qui e dove tu capisci cuanto cogliona sei. Perche l'acqua era un miragio, e il miragio cambia di forma d'acqua a forma di vaffanculo perche lei puoi ti risponde con un solito "no" che basta per distrugere ogni speranza che hai mai pottuto avvere. E puoi come se non bastasse tutto il bus si ride a questa battutina di merda soltante perche hai stato suficientemente stronza come per rispondere. E adesso sei sola, crollata, circondata di risa che non sono per te ma contra di te e non sai se vuoli soltante amazzarti o ragiungere Al Qaeda per potere fare splodere questo bus del cazzo.
>>153911173This is nothing like Big Mouth.
>>153912174What are you doing here? This is a Zerocalcare thread!
>>153911599Oof.
>>153912174
>>153910858Download link? Anyone got one?
>>153910858Is this the Dan Vs reboot?
>>153910858wasn't that the series where the chick kills herself for no reason?
>>153913790No.
Bumpy
I don't want this to die until someone gets a fucking download link.
>>153910858I know an italian guy and he hates zerocalacre.
>>153915940Did Calacre made a story about him?
Bump
>>153910858Glad there's a thread for this already but I think most people who even knew about this 3rd season/series existing still need some time to binge watch it first. This is my favorite adult animated series and I would love to see people give it a shot and talk about it, but I don't know if it's actually all that well-known or popular.Will post more once I actually finish the series, just saw the first ep and god I'm happy to see these two again.
>>153910858Gonna give it watch tonight. Hope is as good the previous ones, I love the comics and the series was the right kind of dark humor i needed to survive post 2020.
I vaguely remember people talking about this show because of some hot rat woman was in it or something
>>153915951No, he just told me he was a southern italian who made twitter comics.
>>153918663>hot rat womanThere are some rat girls in S1 but they're very minor. I'm guessing it was maybe this lemur woman in S2 (no name, just referred to as "lemur"), who is also a minor character but is slightly more plot-relevant and has more lines.
>>153919472>lemurThat looks like a wolf
>>153919494She sure does look more like a wolf with those ears and snout. They didn't give her a tail either while some other animal characters have one.
Lmao.
Sarah my beloved
>>153910858Oh fuck, I thought they were done with these. 1-2 were kino.
>>153918243>>153920101I hope some anons can give their opinions on season 3 cuz I just finished it all in one sitting and I think it's the most mixed of all of them for me. I really like the first half, I was laughing and invested in the character work just as much as I was in the first 2 seasons. But I felt it not hitting as hard in the second half, and by the end I was actually kind of disappointed. Still got some of those emotional hits that I love the first 2 seasons for, but the pacing and resolution felt messy.
>>153920289i know what you mean anon making montini a scapegoat for the plot ,having him kill smeralda’s boyfriend so zero’s group doesn’t have to sacrifice anything or risk their own necks feels like a weak solution from the writers and not to mention that at the beginning the armadillo complained to zero that his “do nothing because problems solve themselves” mindset ended up being proven right.and then at the end the armadillo complains to the writers about other decisions when what i mentioned is way worse.other than that i agree that it’s very funny especially the beginning. Its the season that made me laugh the most and I really enjoyed the animation especially when Secco remembers his days as a Magic fan and they reference “Take On Me.” Id say it had better storyboarding than the previous seasons, even if I didn’t enjoy the ending.
>>153918663i remember them they were two he tutored only were in it for like a couple scene max tho
>>153910858Oh neat I liked the last two, though the first one was the most interesting.
>>153921221also one was a based hmofa
>>153914405That was ‘Tear Along the Dotted Line’.
>>153921136Yeah, like... It's a realistic enough outcome, and Zero dedicating some of his monologue to address that character's issues after the fact is fine. But it takes away basically all the build-up for the whole season and it just feels awkward. No satisfying confrontation and there's not as strong of an emotional aftermath for the characters to lament on. S1 and S2 had both of these things in their finales. The last lines of dialogue & storyboarding for the final few minutes of those seasons are some of my favorite moments. But here, I feel like we don't even get a great send-off for either Wild Boar's family or Smeralda. Just some small talk that isn't punctuated well and then an abrupt cut to the credits. Definitely agree that the funny scenes and references of this season are still great. That comedy being balanced with a simple and heartfelt story that drives the characters through the season is what makes this one of my favorite adult shows. The ending missing the mark for me is enough to make this my least favorite season, but I'm still ecstatic we got more of the series.
Does anyone have a download link for this and the other ones?
>>153922211now that you mention it the time-skip scenes didn’t really resonate with me. seeing wild boar in another city running away from the crocodiles made me realize what the writers were doing: they avoided directly confronting the conflict that surprised me because in the previous season they actually dared to show the fight during the pro immigration protest.I’d say Tear Along the Dotted Line is a good series but it didn’t resonate with me that much; i think it’s hard to get used to so many jokes and constant scene changes.this world can’t tear Me down handled that much better, knowing when to speed up and when to slow down the pacing. I noticed that even more in scenes like the fight in the rain which showed they were capable of presenting dark drama without adding comedy on top of it.The movement was also handled really well while the characters moved through the rain. that kind of animation is difficult to pull off.i should also clarify that IMO it was the best animated season out of the three
>>153910858I’m conflicted because the first half is probably my favourite of these series, but the second half is probably my least favourite. Too much characters fucking around doing nothing and doomposting about their lives. That was still present in the previous series, but at least the plot pushed them to do stuff instead of just moping about their lives. I’m not as bothered by the anticlimax as the comics are like that to a fault, constantly reminding you life isn’t a hero’s journey and nothing gets resolved in a neat bow, but are better at justifying that approach than this. Maybe I gotta come out as a normie but I also didn’t really click with the ending. It got pretty depressing, but then they just spin a lie that they got each other and leave smiling? Wasn’t satisfied with Esmeralda’s ending either, she just got better I guess? Nice to see not all his love interests had a horrific fate, but it felt like a cop out to not leave things in too dour of a note. I would have preferred a straight adaptation of the squid comic.
>>153923585>the first half is probably my favourite of these series, but the second half is probably my least favouriteThis is exactly how I felt, which just makes it sting even more. I was excited by how so many things got set up right from the start:- the first scene showing you that something big is going to happen- Zero owning a cafe with Wild Boar- an old friend crashing at Zero's place- Sarah's relationship being focused on for the first time- Secco's absence and reveal of his fatherhoodTthe first few episodes felt so fast when I was watching them, I was so into it. But when the second half started, I felt like the pacing was worse, I noticed I was laughing less, and nearly every single thing I liked at the start doesn't get as satisfying of a payoff as I wanted.>I’m not as bothered by the anticlimax as the comics are like that to a faultI've read a few of his comics so far, and I do kind of appreciate when some of his story beats are mundane or anticlimactic on purpose. I feel like it usually fits the story since these are all just a bunch of regular guys. As realistic as "Oh yeah, me and Smeralda didn't get one big heart-to-heart before she left since she really only stayed a couple days and our last interaction was a random, short conversation at the mall", I dunno. I think I just wanted more than that.Not even just Smeralda, I wish we got to see more of Zero and Secco arguing about their drifting apart (tho this doesn't bother me nearly as much since that's what you'd expect out of those two, lol. Plus Secco being a main character means he can easily appear later for more development). Sarah's resolution I like a good bit, since she's still in a pretty bad state of mind by the end of it and I think that's interesting and believable. Wild Boar's resolution is also realistic and a pretty harsh yet fitting consequence for his actions. But like, I care significantly less about the boar family than Alice or Cesare's stories.
>>153910858Also for comparison, this is each season's combined episode run time:- 1 hr. 58 min. (Tear Along the Dotted Line)- 2 hr. 57 min. (This World Can't Tear Me Down)- 4 hr. 50 min. (My Two Cents)Season 3 is two whole hours longer than Season 2
>>153923007S1 will probably always be my personal favorite. It does have much more rapid-fire jokes and the character work isn't as big of a focus until the end, but I think that's a compromise many first seasons do to hook a wider audience.S2 is the best overall imo, the payoff of everything coming together at the end and every character feeling so involved and getting their own moments is handled great. Like, I don't enjoy Cesare as a character much but the way his conflict affects both the characters and the central plot is very satisfying to watch. Felt like we explored so much of the setting too, seeing the different sides and talking to a lot of side characters.Don't know how I fully feel about S3 just yet, I probably need to sit on it some more and maybe rewatch it to really get the things I didn't like about it. I've rewatched S1 and S2 with friends and I felt just as positively as the first time I sat through them, but S3 is kind of just a mess in my head atm.
>>153919472>>153919753She cute
Shit, i need to watch S2.
>>153924577We got a little backstory on her in S3:- she's a waitress who sells weed on the side- she's almost 40- she has a brother who killed himself in prison due to debt- she's p chill
Can someone please give us a fucking download link?!
Smeralda was thick as fuck though
>>153925070All of these seasons are available on Soulseek, so I should have them uploaded momentarily.
>>153925037I can fix her...
>>153912174This soulless AI trash have no place here.
I've uploaded the first season. Everything else is taking forever for me to download, so I'll update this link in due time. Be on the lookout!https://gofile.io/d/tnTmD3
Jesus, the fuck is up with this guy's upload speed? I swear I was downloading at a decent speed a moment ago.
Right now I'm running into a wall. Found a torrent of the second season, but torrenting isn't much faster than downloading it from this dude on Soulseek. The best DDL links I could find were spic-centered, while the most useful ones were locked behind disgusting Rapidgator links.
Bumpy.
the thing that i find funny about Zero's works is that no matter the media, HE DOESN'T SHUT UP.he likes to rant and talk like there's no tomorrow, and i don't know if this is an Italian thing or if he's just like that
>>153925867One season down, two more to go.
>>153910858Does he talk about immigrants in this one too?
>>153928828The download speeds I'm getting for the most recent season are much more tolerable. Season 2 will have to wait, as torrenting remains my only option.
>>153928854Not that much.
>>153929021I can wait. Take your time.
>>153929046Here's to hoping the thread doesn't die by the time it's done downloading. I'm currently uploading the most recent season to gofile as we speak.
>>153929078I'll try to keep this thread alive as long as i can. If not, I guess we have to make a Download Thread on /co/ and you can put to links there.
>>153925025>>153925037She needs her season spotlight next.
>>153925867>>153929021>>153929078>https://gofile.io/d/tnTmD3APPRECIATE THIS MAN EVERYBODY, COME ONThank you for actually doing this, I've never looked into how or where to download shows or how to upload them
I think she's my favorite cartoon woman of all time
>>153929694A shame her thing with sailor moon didn’t work out.She should date someone from a better anime next.
>>153921284>Escargot My Love>un film.. francesehehe>>153925867Thank you anon, especially for keeping the Italian voices
>>153929694Mine too.
>>153929621Little by little at a time.
>rewatching a S2 ep when sarah fanserviceOh hell yes
AND she has a cute as hell black & red fit in a flashback, totally forgot
>>153924258If they get a 4th season, I wonder how long that going to be.
>>153925025>>153929343I noticed Lemur is one of the characters closest to the main cast in the S2 poster, which is nice. And after S3, she's probably the most prominent side character besides Pterodactyl girl.I'm not as familiar with the comics, but I've recognized like 5 comic characters throughout the show and they've all been background cameos OR they're lucky enough to get one line of dialogue. At least lemur got to escape that fate and actually affects the plot in S3.
>>153931854>t. waiting for season 2 to download
>>153932166Hopefully it will be done.
>>153917080>>153912174>>153920042>long straight black hairYes please
>>153932360This could be a comfy wallpaper
Bump.
Don't die yet
>>153932166I add the link to the other chan site in case this thread gets deleted.
>>153924258Dont wanna sound rude but i think it would have been better off shorter
Is the humor too local for outsiders to understand?
>>153935251I'd say maybe 10-15% of his jokes are Italy-specific. Like shit-talking a specific Italian city/district/historic notion or making a joke about a person who's only famous in Italy. Very few times does it feel like a joke is lost due to translation, so that's good. (saying all this as a non-Italian who only speaks English, so grain of salt)On the other hand, this creator has a distinct style of talking a FUCKTON, so he might have a 2-minute rant of a joke that's hard to follow or doesn't make sense. Not because it's regional humor, but because he's just kind of crazy in the head and it makes him explain things in weird ways. The humor has more hits than misses, imo.
>>153935627I'm thinking about buying one of his comic books. Are there ones in English?
>>153932233Will this become a new meme?
After some quick Googling, it seems that only a handful of his books have been officially translated and sold in English, and most of them are only available as eBooks/Kindle versions. Those being (in release order):- The Armadillo Prophecy- Kobane Calling- Tentacles at my Throat- Forget my Name (only one I could see an English physical for)I've only read some of his stuff years ago on readcomiconline, which got taken down recently. Some of them are on libgen.li also. My favorite comics of his were 'Tentacles at my Throat' and 'Skeletons'.
>>153929830She should try sentai and fuck a Megazord
>>153932166How are the season 2 episodes coming?
>>153938568>It took us 3 days to download that torrent.>3 DAYS!!!
>>153931508I don't understand
>>153938650Oh my God. Sorry to hear that.
>>153939095It's alright, better than not being able to access Rapidgator links at all.
So are the furries/animal people real or is Zero a schizo?
>>153937065>>153935627Are these seasons adaptations of his comics or are they new stories featuring the characters?
>communistGross.
>>153939572>Are these seasons adaptations of his comics or are they new stories featuring the characters?So from what I've read, none of the animated series are 1-to-1 adaptations of any of his comic books. Even if you read all of his comics first, the animated series will all be pretty much new stories. Some of the themes/plot points/characters in the comics will be handled differently or retooled a bit.For example, Alice from S1 is an original character for the Netflix series, but her story beats are explored through a different character in the comics named Camille. It's not just the creator changing the name and the design, the two have different backstories and stuff.Another example is Secco's fatherhood being revealed and handled differently in the comic I read (Skeletons). Since I read the comic first, I knew what to expect when they started hinting at it in S3, but it still plays out a lot different 'cause S3 is a different story than 'Skeletons'.
>>153939543>So are the furries/animal people real or is Zero a schizo?Animal/object people existing is more so a cartoony liberty than them actually being animal people co-existing with human people. Lemur girl won't get accused of shedding fur everywhere and pterodactyl girl won't ever make a jab at how big her fucking head sticks out in front of people. It's just how the creator wanted these characters to look in the story for one reason or another.
>>153910858Is it pro-migration slop like season 2?
Found the lemur in season 1, she's been in every season then
>>153924205Zero is just the Italian Harvey Pekar
>>153940516This isn't slop.
Check the gofile link in about 30 minutes or so, the TATDL series should now be complete.
>>153932998So, what are your thoughts on Lorenzo Montini?
I sincerely appreciate all the anons who have been patient with me. It's been a pleasure finding dual ITA/EN versions of all 3 seasons.
>>153943791Anyone?
I guess Zero people calcare, huh?
I started watching it and immediately bailed. It's just not appealing to me, I guess. I don't have any objective criticisms, other than all characters are voiced by one person (?). Whatever.
>>153941333Wonder who the orange blob is
>>153943955Oh shit, I didn't even notice I could change the language between the two in VLC. Thanks a whole bunch. Wish more people were in this thread to view the fruit of your efforts, but this valuable resource can help a lot of people experience the series even after the thread ends.
>>153932641>God, I screwed up.
>>153947006Google tells me he's called "Amico Supplì" which translates to "Cheese-rice ball Friend". Don't know anything about him besides he's one of the dozen or so characters that exists in the comic but only get a few background shots in the Netflix series.He's got a figure in the Zerocalcare 3D collection tho, there's apparently a whole bunch of these things. Only for the comic versions, so none of the Netflix only characters.
I think the first wave of these things came out in 2020, which is a year before Season 1 came out. Didn't look into how available they are but I saw a lot of them on eBay. I love how Sarah has 3 whole figures for her different ages, Zero probably does too.
Okay well I saw one eBay listing saying it was the complete collection and it says there's maybe fucking SEVENTY of these things, sweet Lord, good for him
>>153947313I always thought he was a talking potato.
