your red flags in cartoon/animated shows.I'll start:>sailor-moon esque transformations in a show that's not a magical girls genre
>Opening theme song contains literally zero original animation and is exclusively clips from the showI can only think of like, two exceptions where the show that did this wasn't awful.
>>153999187>fandom becomes obsessively fixated into believing a character is gaysuck mire when you like this character but it is reduced to just being gay in their headcanons
>>15399930590% of US TV shows
>>153999423Are you sure?
>female mc>anime reference
>>153999423That really doesn't sound right at all
>pony
>>153999187>Children’s show tries to present mystery/lore
>>153999187>woke>lore>panic attack >style over substance >performative >Industry plant
>One of the characters start flossing
>>153999535/Thread
>>153999187Any cartoon that tries to rip off anime just for the sake of it is a red flag to me
>>153999529Shut up, zoomer>>153999535>>153999559Those are just buzzwords.
>>153999386...what does that have to do with the quality of the show itself?
>>153999187>Rebecca Sugar
>>153999604Not him, but usually, it means the series invited that sort of fandom in some way.
>>153999187>dark colored people
>>153999187>creator can't stop voicing their political beliefs on twatter
>>153999541You mean the dance?
>>153999586>Buzzwords Having a snappy name for them doesn't change the fact most anons understand what they mean
>>153999734Tard
>>153999187>calartsIt's not just ugly. Certain things always go hand in hand with it. When you see calarts you know that corners were cut and that the story will not revolve around masculine interests and values. Because if nothing else the executives want a unisex and as safe product as possible.
>>153999786Yeah
>>153999187For me it's>change of premise>girlbossing
>>153999707Not really, it means the fandom are freaks.
>>153999187>loreshit made on the go because the writers are too lazy to do worldbuilding and left it to the fandom>any romance with the MCs in a show NOT about romance >emasculated male main charactersThese are the main 3 for me
ITT: incels be incels
>>153999187>celebrity voice cast
>>153999423thats a high percentage
>Those are just buzzwords
>>154000048Fuck off>>154001470Nice selfie
>>153999187Who is this dog?
>>153999305Pinky and the Brain better be one of the good ones.
>>153999187>characters all have the same ToonBoom rig shape language of blocky bodies and noodle arms
>>153999187>every episode is the exact same, with only minor changesUsually only the worst cartoons are set up this way. Cough cough Scooby Doo cough cough Phineas and Ferb.
>>153999187>show’s humor comes from snarky meta jokes that feel designed to be clipped out of context
>>154003180looks like sniff from the 90s Moomins anime
>>154005054Smiling Friends? Add "improv comedy" as another red flag.
>>153999187>its a comedy>the jokes arent funny
>>153999187DEI for the sake of DEI.I don't mind "diversity" in a cast, but there are ways of including characters that are different from the rest somehow without making their inclusion seem forced. Unfortunately, most writers are too lazy to use them.
Claims to have achieved millions of views overnight. Has dozens of shill threads on /co/merchandise out the ass. But can only release 20minute episode bi-annually over 3-4 years.
>>154005071I guess you can argue that applies to Smiling Friends, but I was thinking more along the lines of Sonic Boom.
>>154005701OHHHHHH, that. Yeah, its CWC references got a little hamfisted didn't it?
>>154004878I disagree on “worst”, but yes, a baseline formula can you take you so far.
western animations will ignore everything about anime that gives it mass appeal but will mindlessly ape all of the lame tropes that make anime tiresome to watch
