Golden Axe television series...did anyone know about this? It looks awful. It seems to have all episodes released so it seems to be unimportant to Paramount+ Why did SEGA even bother with this if they were going to treat it with so little respect and attention?https://youtu.be/sStbBtfGaLA
>>155640613There were a few threads here and on /tv/ awhile back. Maybe even on /tg/. But yeah, it's trash for the modern audience.
>>155640613We already had threads about it when the trailer came up, most though it looked terrible and nobody wanted to watch it. Hopefully Genndy's Conan the Barbarian series delivers true pulpy barbarian action.
Yeah, it's generic, like nobody wants to be there or feels anything in particular for the property, it has the playable furry dude but not the cute centaur girl, and then I ran out of care. Probably won't notice when it's out.
>>155640667>>155640613there was a bunch here too.It's one time that we all get in a /co/nsensus
>>155640806>some people like it some people don'twow nice /co/nsensus
>>155640613Everyone involved should be beaten with pipes and dragged thru a field.
>>155640613All I know about it is the glitch productions color guy did a lot of the color design on this
>>155640613I liked it. I think it was better than Lower Decks but the same kind of humor.Wish Jamm was in it, though
>>155640613>Why did SEGA even bother with this if they were going to treat it with so little respect and attention?I thought it was pretty solid in those terms. Besides Axe being a dofus and Gilius being too mean and Tyris being too homicidal, and Chronos having an origin story I think it followed it pretty well.
>>155640734>Hopefully Genndy's Conan the Barbarian series delivers true pulpy barbarian action.It's going to be about literal dog balls and you know it.
>>155640613NGL, that chick is kinda cute, but this show looks too much like some generic adult comedy show. I'm better off playing to the actual Golden Axe games than wasting my time watching and discussing this show.
I enjoyed it, it really just needed like 25% less jokes.
>>155642368Gilius is weird because he should be bitter and jaded like that but it's supposed to be years after Axe and Tyris and his masterblaster riding tard are dead and the exact same kind of evil warlord is still recurring.
>>155642380Oh come on he has a good track record. What could go wrong?
>>155642406To clarify, I'd be more interested in this show if it were more of an action/adventure show played straight.>>155642332>Redhead>"Battle bikini">Cleavage>Beauty mark by her left eyeWell, at least this show one thing right. Can't fault it for that.
>>155640613I liked it when the minions had heir own side conversations or would stop fighting if someone said something stupid just to collectively cringe
>>155640613Sega is desperate to resurrect their library of IPs and Golden Ax itself is a long dead and buried IP, they don't care if it gets raped so long as newbies watch it and care about it enough to keep watching it
>>155642505>Sega is desperate to resurrect their library of IPsthen why the fuck didn't they just make Golden Axe 4
>>155642368>>155642463Gilius reminds me way too much of Rick Sanchez but a smelly dwarf.
>>155642448I would agree. The parts I liked rhe most was when they werent trying to be funny.
I was genuinely surprised how in focus Gilius was and thought for sure he would have been more minor.
Paid shill threadNo way I'm consuming this slop
>>155642569They are. It was announced back in 2023 to be made by sega sapporo. We havent had any recent news about it so its likely not even in alpha. Doesnt /co/ read videogame company press releases! God!I imagined there was a delay so this show got released way in advance when they probably were going to be released together.
>>155642809You'd have to spend money on advertising to have paid shills, dummy!
>>155642843And they are doing it.
>>155642569Outside Shinobi and Phantasy Star, no one gives a shit about the pre-Sonic Sega IPs and even then, Phantasy Star got turned into an INO MMO and Shinobi peaked with Revenge of Shinobi and every attempt to resurrect it has flopped.Doing a cartoon of Golden Axe at least is a revenue stream off the property
>>155640613It was good and we got what we paid for
>>155643151>DUDE LOL VIDEO GAME! SELF AWARE! Fuck you. Those show, not you, anon. I don't know you. But you're probably an asshole.
>>155643177
>>155643096Sadly, this. I would say that at least Golden Axe got a show despite being a dormant IP. Other pre-Sonic and post-Sonic Sega IP like Eternal Champions, Vectorman, Virtua Fighter, Comic Zone, Fantasy Zone, Wonder Boy, and Alex Kidd barely get anything barring an occasional remake or so.
>>155642505>Sega is desperate to resurrect their library of IPsBut can Sega bring back the Imageepoch team and make Stella Glow 2 in that case
>>155640613Golden Axe is a dead property.Not like SEGA were going to ever give them Sonic with writing as bad as that.
>>155642332>I liked it
Paramount shills shitting up the board again
>>155643232Sega doesn't own Wonder Boy, as that is an IP which is a huge God damn cluster fuck with the rights divided amongst multiple companies, with multiple variations (Adventure Island, the various dueling Wonder Boy 3 games, etc)
>>155640613Not even worth hating onThe most respect this series ever got was the golden axe level in sonic racing transformed, fuck that was cool>that giant fucking T-Rex>going through lava and meteors>giant skeleton archway>god tier remix of the game theme
>>155640613dude this is olden times and they still have a guy with the californian buzzcut
>>155643724Worst part is it could've been used as a joke. Like he gets a close shave almost getting killed. And every laughs at that joke saying it’s hilarious be I g the first time it was ever said.
>>155644104all they know is that this is what "normal" people look like to them, so they just designed it like that and it didn't cross their mind at all in any way shape or form
>>155642505>as newbies watch itYou're kidding yourself if you think that the only people watching this shit aren't already Golden Axe fans
>>155643205What is the in-lore reason she yelled SEGA in this scene?Is the joke that Sega is the Adventurer's group name?
Are they making a new game or something? Why the awkwardly shoehorned OC? Why now? This might be the craziest example of striking when the iron is cold I can think of. Even Castlevania wasn't as dead as Golden Axe when it got its show.
>>155645272You are giving these people far more credit than they deserve. >>155644123
>>155642332>It was better than Lower Decks What kind of metric is that? A lot of things are better than Lower Decks. That's so nonspecific.
>>155642505>desperate to resurrect their library of IPsSee, I always read the randomly timed streaming show adaptations as the the opposite. Like with Konami and Castlevania and all the Ubisoft brands in that Laserhawk show.>We are done with this shit. You guys can do whatever you want. We genuinely don't care.
>>155642808I mean he's literally the most popular/high profile Golden Axe character. He's the rep in most crossover stuff.
>>155642834Weren't there a shitload of barely expanded on proof of concepts in that press release?
>>155640613I watched about half the show.It's not the worst thing. Has like a 40% hit rate on the humor but the action is good. Not "the worst thing ever" to shit on, but not good enough to get a lot of talk to help get more views.Got a few guys trying to generate outrage cause a brown character does exist or someshit, but mostly its going to be forgotten by the end of the year likely sooner.
I swear to God. It has to be creators of those shows making those threads.
>>155645340Everybody apparently hated the DMC show by Adi Shankar but its getting a third season and is credited with shooting up sales for the games.
>>155645465To be fair unlike Golden Axe, Castlevania and all the dated cameos in Laserhawk, nothing really indicates DMC is a dormant IP, so Adi Shankar aside, it's not really the same situation.
>>155645399It's funny because most people shitting on or dismissing the show don't even get far enough to know the brown guy is a reoccurring character.
>>155643205
>>155640613It's awful. Joke murder.Same big problems as Lower Decks: motormouth characters won't shut up so nothing lands, every ok joke is surrounded by 4 terrible ones, and the level of sincerity swings far too wildly.It's unwatchable.
>>155645539Is the show also aggressively gay?
>>155645589I don't recall there being all that much in the way of sex jokes besides the magic guy acting lewd.
>>155645589Not really, no. If anything it's very lesbian-coded, but that's also pretty irrelevant. The show's problem is pacing and delivery.The art and animation is actually pretty good, which makes it all the more frustrating that watching the show and listening to all these jokes get mangled is impossible
>>155646036So no straightness allowed. Expected.
>>155646221Yeah there's a lesbian cuck scene. They also have to sit their and pick apart the fantasy trips and beat the dead horse until it's not funny. Animations sucks, voice acting sucks, jokes suck, lesbians, butchering a fairly innocuous property. Legit feels like this came out in 2014
>>155646316>there's a lesbian cuck sceneCrazy. This is the second time this writer did this.
>>155646221>>155646316>>155646330The animation is objectively good and the property is in no way butcheredThe jokes are just bad and/or delivered badlyDo you understand how fucking boring it is for you faggots to post the same non-criticisms in every goddamned thread?You add nothing to any conversation.
I wonder what the intended audience of literally 40+ year olds why played this in arcades think of this.
>>155646316>Yeah there's a lesbian cuck scene.Remind me again what that was?
>>155646404NTAI can only assume they mean one of the first gags in the first episode where the damsel they rescue wants to ride with Tyris instead of BattlerCalling it a cuck scene is a massive stretch. The character is literally unnamed and Battle is basically asexual.
>>155646367>Do you understand how fucking boring it is for you faggots to post the same non-criticisms in every goddamned thread?Let's just put it this way. I will keep shitting on your slop as long as you insist on inserting gay shit into it.
>>155646396It's Tigtone but shitGo watch Tigtone on the internet archivehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64cHZz4-6aw
>>155646427>Calling it a cuck scene is a massive stretchWe can call it emasculation then
>>155646440>I hate your slopNigger I literally called it unwatchable.You aren't saying anything. You're virtue signalling. Your posts are worthless. They offer no criticism, they offer no humor, they are you screaming "I EXIST AND HAVE NOTHING TO SAY">>155646460That is also a massive stretch. It's a shit gag but it's literally 2 seconds long.There is so much even in just the first episode to shit on. Put in a tiny bit of effort you fuck.
>>155646479>it's a shit gagWhat even is the joke?
>>155646479>You're virtue signallingWe chuds learned from you faggots doing it for the last 15 years. I hope people will be getting canceled for being woke in 2027.

>>155646530I ain't clicking on an official Zionmount+ link. Wouldn't want them thinking anyone is interested in this slop.
The animation is surprisingly decent, but you'd never guess with the generic fox adult comedy aesthetic. It's also more of a comedy than an action show and it's not particularly funny unless you think meta humor about swords and sandles fantasy and old video games is still fresh. So the animation being decent almost feels like a waste.
>>155646555>Titmouseslop>decentwatch more cartoons faggot
>>155646552Gilius is a stinky dwarf with a weird looking mountHe awkwardly asks the nameless peasant they rescued if she has a boyfriend and if she wants to ride with him right after he pulled a rat out of his beardShe says she just likes walkingTyrus offers a ride, girl jumps on, says "you're very beautiful"It takes roughly sixteen seconds and is somehow turned into three different bits. It's actually a pretty good indication of how the show consistently fucks up very easy jokes by cramming in more and destroying the delivery.Or, if the only thing you ever think about is how emasculated you feel, it'll trigger your fee-fee's like it did these poor fags.
>>155646575Like modern ones? That just lowers the bar.
>>155646605>"it's not cuck shit I swear">explains the scene>it's literally cuck shitI hate how disingenuous anons are these days
>>155646575The animation is genuinely good and clearly had some budget, which makes the dogshit writing and editing all the more terrible>>155646631>I don't know what cuck means but I am VERY insecureNeato
>>155646637Anon this "I hate this show but at least I hate it for the RIGHT reasons" act is very unattractive
>>155646665Anon you have made it abundantly clear that the only thing you think about is how unappealing you are to women.No one caring what you think is a running theme in your life.
>>155646683What is this guy yapping about? This conversation is impossible to follow. Is there a lesbian cuck scene or not?
>>155646713Why would you announce that you're retarded like that?It was completely unnecessary.Maybe you should take a break from posting, big dog.
>>155645340This. They had a naked anthro cow girl and I still don't want to watch the show.>>155645489Notice how Konami does nothing with the show "success" when promoting their games? They had absolutely no synergy with their announcements. None of the crossover or official content acknowledge the show.>>155645465>discounts games that people already want to play inline with the release of another season of the showIt has nothing to do with the show's quality.
>>155645489>>155646802Adi literally gave an interview where he said he was pissed off to learn that DMC wasn't a dead franchise and that DMC5 was releasing and doing well, he wanted to take credit for "reviving" a franchise.
>>155646828lmao so he just assumed he had a other Castlevania to fuck with
>>155640613Why do you keep giving it free advertising if it's so terrible
>>155646844I dunno if anyone's actually watching it. Half this thread is people asking about this show as if they haven't viewed it themselves, and only a portion of those questions are being answered.
>>155646828I'm aware of that. There is this retarded narrative that Warren Ellis is what made Castlevania "great" and Adi ruined it.>>155646834To be fair, I really don't get why people love the Castlevania show but think DMC is shit. They both suck for the same reason.
>>155646844No amount of free advertising will help this crap, they went as far as putting the first two episodes on youtube totally free and episode one hasn't broken 200k. Episode two is at 70k, more than a 50% drop-off. It's dead in the water.Criticizing bad shows is fun. Pinpointing what about them doesn't work is an entertaining exercise.I know a lot of kids on 4chan don't understand that and think whining about sex is all you're allowed to do here but you should give it a shot.
>>155646926>No amount of free advertising will help this crapThat doesn't mean you should be giving it attention. Stop consuming bad media in general, it's poison for the soul.I'm glad /co/ is a dead board because advertising here is futile.
>>155646908Yeah it's crazy the opinion on the two shows is so different because they are entirely in line with each other.
>>155646953>I didn't read your postNeat.Enjoy being totally humorless and not wanting to discuss a hobby on the hobby board you weird fuck.
>>155646953>That doesn't mean you should be giving it attention.It implies there's no harm in it.
>>155646969I understood you well enough, nigger. Hatewatching is still cringe and it gave way too many shitty shows more time on the air.
>>155646987>NO YOU CAN'T JUST WATCH MEDIA AND THEN FORM AN OPINION AND EXPRESS IT ON A BOARD MADE FOR EXPRESSING OPINIONS ON THAT MEDIAFuck off retard
>>155640613Why did SEGA even bother with this?Sega wanted to expand it's IP roster outside of Sonic and wanted TMS do do this, but TMS rejected it because Shenmue: The Animation bombed and Sega was forced to use Titmouse LA and Snipple instead which is why we got the trainwreck that we did.
>>155647007>AHHHHH this show is terrible !!!!>I hope it gets canceled !!!!>I can't stop fucking talking about it !!!!!>how the FUCK did it get renewed?This is (You)
>>155647043>Anon thinks his single individual view mattersEven ignoring piracy that's fucking stupid, anon.You are a molecule of water that thinks itself the wave in the ocean.What a humorless moron
>>155646954Season 2 of Castlevania about as heavy handed as this was to me.
>>155646954>>155647104DMC is much higher profile and everything around it was so incredibly cringeworthy that people who knew nothing about games or cartoons were seeing "cringe anime with Limp Bizkit" advertisements
>>155647067>You are a molecule of water that thinks itself the wave in the ocean.You clearly have a deficient understanding of sociology. Yes, a random anon retard on a Mongolian basket weaving board is less than irrelevant. But you know how many retards there are in the world?You aren't special. Every thought you thought was unique was probably thought by a million other people. If some retard decides to watch a horrible show for the lols, you can bet that there's more people who had the exact same fucking idea.The longer this shit is on the board, the higher the likelihood that some retards will decide to check it out to satisfy their morbid curiosity. And that's how companies get away with making slop.
>>155647155It isn't, Looney Tunes Cartoons from 2020 puts it and Castlevania: The Animated Series to shame.
>>155647183>anon pretends he understands but continues to attempt actions that show he does notNeat, you have a learning disability. Enjoy that I guess.>>155647201>DMC isn't higher profile than Castlevania because Looney Tunes 2020...what?
>>155647201This. Not that many people gave a shit. Also, if higher profile means more scrutiny, then people would be calling Fallout dogshit.
I'm very happy anime won
>makes ragebait 4chan just can't resistHow does he do it?
>>155647263>...what?I think that he was implying that DMC & Castlevania were small fishes in a very small pond. I mean Big Mouth did great enough that it got multiple seasons and a spin off. The adult cartoon market is small and the adult action cartoon market is even smaller.
>>155646844Posting on /co/ isn't free advertising, no one cares about cartoons these days and they care about /co/'s opinions on cartoons even less.
>>155647426Especially a current year /co/ when 4chan is dying and /co/ was never one of its more active boards anyway.
>>155647294No, anime is doing 20 times worse then the west.>>155647333Americans want lolis.
>anime is doing 20 times worse then the westFamicom derangement syndrome
>>155646713In the end Tyris doesn't seem to want to get with anyone on account of being very autistic/weird, and Ax Battler basically describes his dream is to be platonically married to Tyris for the sole purpose of fighting together.
>>155647596>No, anime is doing 20 times worse then the west.No bitching about isekai doesn't make this any less true
>>155647632Honestly, this is about what I expect from a modern cartoon.I won't be watching it, but I'm not at all surprised.
>>155642505>still no NiGHTS 3Well... I guess I'll keep waiting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m95QocHb2sMSeriously, there's just this charm to the NiGHTS series that no other series has captured.
>>155647789Who is the thick lady on the left?
>>155647605No, that is the case, if most of the stuff we're getting out of Japan is like Magical Sisters LuluttoLilly instead of My Hero Academia then we talk.It won't be ideal, but it will be light years better then what we have now.
>>155647918Puffy, the first boss of Elliot's Story.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Kz06Ix3ik
>>155647632>platonically married to Tyris for the sole purpose of fighting togetherAnd people wonder why everyone hates millennial writing.
>>155640613looks like it came out recently by the style
>>155647789Not after the bombing of Sonic Superstars, which did so badly that most of Arzest's staff left the company and moved to Good Feel just to do Yoshi games for Nintendo (they just did Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, it's why it's art direction is so bland compared to past Good Feel efforts for Nintendo).
>>155648023They are portrayed as varying degrees of dysfunctional partly because of implied traumatic hero backstory. I was surprised though that Tyris was allowed to be wrong several times and the guys were allowed to rub it in.
