>>155697263hit too close to home? she doesnt owe him sex
This show is way too ugly for something that was actually drawn by a furry
>>155697263This shit is so repulsive
>>155697263I too would choose the muscle mommy over the ugly dwarf.
>>155697263When his height starts with 4
>>155697263I'd be surprised if they didn't put a scene like that in it.
>>155697263>>155697501Yeah but it just drains you. That joke is nearing 50 years old since it was fresh, the only way it could be saved is if the end punch line was the girl was into the dragon mount and not the girl which then circles back to the dwarf being correct at blaming his mount but even then this gag is so old it could file for retirement soon.
They really thought 40+ year olds who care about this IP would like to see that.
Why the fuck is Gilius fucking Thunderhead talking like a nervous middle schooler regardless of the lesbian reveal?Isn't supposed to be hardened warrior who's devoted himself to avenging his brother's death?
>>155697501Lesbians nowadays are way too easy. It's almost dissapointing with how much they've allowed themselves to be exploited and easily pandered too.
I don't watch western fag propaganda so I don't care.
>>155697263Why does this look like Family Guy knockoff, AI generated slop?
>>155697595>just drains youdoesn't drain me, but i'm not a soft crybaby bitch
>>155697263Reminder this is propaganda aimed at humiliating straight men and pushing women to lesbians for social status
>>155697695>doesn't this one sentence preamble from a 30 year old, three button video game where you walk left mean anything?!
>>155697263I took it that she was just uncomfortable with the guy..which is why she took the woman's offer.
>>155697709It's not about pandering to lesbians, it's about hurting straights.
Honestly, I'm not sure what you were expecting, the only people who still watch cartoons these days are actual, unironic cuckolds.
>>155697829Yes
>>155697263This seems like a major stretch for something to get mad about.
>>155697711bacause tranime slop is sooooo better
>>155697879>>155697822found the troon
>>155697829Well? Doesn't it?
Is this supposed to be funny? Seems really drawn out for a barely-joke. Or is that just how this show is?
>>155697941It's drawn out because it's not a joke, it's about humiliation bro. It's created to demoralize straight men
>>155697941There are no real jokes, just fag propaganda using """jokes"""" as a disguise.
>>155697884Yes.
>>155697884Unironically, yes.American cartoons are for gay people and Gen X cuckolds.
>>155697884anime yuri is done for fans of the concept, it's not done as a way to humiliate straight men.There's no feminist agenda in yuri for the most part while it's everywhere in western animation
When I saw the thread name, I expected something different.I am disappoint.
>>155697829>What do you MEAN it came with a little book that tells more of the story?!
>>155697829Zoomers will post shit like this and then get mad when we shit on their retarded generation.
>>155697995Don’t project
>>155697957>created to demoralize straight menAh, the same reason God created black cock.
>>155698089>Gilius Thunderhead has sworn by all he holds sacred to join his brother in death by killing Death Adder and then committing suicide.What the fuck? I thought he was just a sily dwarf that plays tennis.
>>155698125And god created asian women to mog all non asians foids
The writing in this show is indicative of the problem of insincerity in modern animation. Everything has to be wrapped in five layers of irony and "self-awareness" because apparently the writers have no trust in their own abilities to write something that's actually earnest and sincere. If they make it clear that they don't give a shit about the product or the source material then they can just say "well it doesn't matter because its actually just heckin' satire so its supposed to be shit!".
We're they going for like the She-Ra reboot with this or what? Too weird.
>>155697884>bacause tranime slop is sooooo betterliterally yes
>>155698148yeah modern writers are too afraid of their ideas being mocked so try to dampen the blow and just be as insincere as possible.It sucks because once you have that insincere audience it's going to stick no matter what you do.It's always sunny tried doing a play once which had to cancel early because of all the drunks fucking aroundFamily Guy tried 2 or 3 sincere episodes which got mocked to hell and back
>>155698143I can forgive god for creating women if only because he also created Japanese women.
>>155697839Bit of column A, bit of column B. Lesbian and troon writers imagine that their audience is far larger than it actually is. Remember for these people math is something from high school and numbers are these vague things that only kinda-sorta mean something, they think half the population is rainbow and keep learning the hard way that it isn't.
>>155698194That's a really nice statue, wow.
>>155698186>Family Guy tried 2 or 3 sincere episodes which got mocked to hell and backThat’s because it’s not made for that
>>155698186Family guy is dogshit
>>155698186I feel like the Family Guy thing isn't a good example. Family Guy has always been a comedy series. The problem is that every new "adult" animated series now just copies Family Guy instead of trying to do their own thing.
>>155698223No
>>155697884Cope shartranny CHIT
Thunderhead already has a zombie wife who looks like Kristen Stewart.
>>155697263It's as bad as expected, Thundercats Go.
I don't mind him getting shot down or the lesbian innuendo, but what the fuck is this>Erm, do you happen to be a boyfriend free girl??dialogue? Embarrass.
>>155698249lol what is this from
>>155698360Sonic For Hire.
>>155698089fucking metal
>>155697829Why make a show out of it if you think that little of it in the first place?
>>155698621I don't get the impression they think little of it. More like Mike McMahan enjoyed playing it growing up and wanted to make a show. But he's the Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites, Lower Decks guy, so any show he makes is going to have a lot of comedy. The game itself is already silly to an extent anyway, you ride goofy Chicken Legs and kick gnomes to get magic. I can't be all that bothered either by a "funny take on video game" show when stuff like >>155698249 >>155698382 has been popular online since the internet began. Like jokes about how Ax=Battler wields a sword is the type of joke Sonic for Hire or similar videos online would make. Plus, this is actually closer to the source material than most video game cartoon adaptions have ever been.A more serious action cartoon with some humor mixed in could've worked too, but from the couple episodes I've seen of Golden Axe it's actually pretty fun. I enjoyed it enough to want to watch more. Plus it got me playing Golden Axe on MAME again.
>>155698748>>155698621The problem with the show is not any culture war bullshitThe problem is that it is a murderer and the victim is comedySlow down the delivery, cut 3/4 of the jokes and focus on making the good ones land, stop narrating what is happening for visual gags. There, I fixed it.
>>155698748The problem is that the comedy is shit and it's not particularly funny.No one cares if you want to make your irreverent video game cartoon, but you should at least know something about VIDEO GAMES.At least Code Monkeys had the wherewithal to actually be made by people who actually knew a little bit about the games and shit they were parodying, plus it had an ACTUALLY unique animation style as opposed to this show which just looks like typical adult cartoon fare.
>>155698771From what I've seen there are tons of golden Axe game references in the show You understand references don't make something funny, right?The show sucks but not because golden axe is some sacred cow
>>155698790>You understand references don't make something funny, right?Yes, that's why I said the show isn't funny, it is literally the first sentence in my post.
>>155698790>>155698771Also the designs suck but the animation is stellar, which makes it being unwatchably unfunny all the worse
>>155698798>but the animation is stellarPost an example.Every time someone says this on /co/ they never post an example because this board is 99% phoneposter retards who don't know how to make a webm or even an mp4.
>>155698762>>155698771Yeah, even though I just said I'm enjoying it, I'm not going to pretend the comedy in the show is amazing, a lot of jokes don't land. What >>155698762 said could probably make a better show.
>"Remember that cool thing from your youth? Well we've destroyed it."Why does this keep happening?
>>155697263>ride with short smelly dwarf or the tall amazon red headThe obvious choice is the joke.
>>155698748>The game itself is already silly to an extent anyway, you ride goofy Chicken Legs and kick gnomes to get magic.Conceptually silly things are still allowed to take themselves seriously.https://youtu.be/qbDrKH96FJE?is=FZyQvIGvd1pzeetSI don't mind parody in the right place but I don't really see why a dead 37 year old franchise that's already been humbled by time needs to be dug up just to be knocked down a few more pegs with self deprecative humor. Especially when it isn't particularly effective with the humor anyways.
>>155697829You walk to the right newfag. It’s a side scroller not a manga, you go from left to right not right to left.
>>155698827It's especially weird when it's an IP no one has really been giving much attention recently anyways.Can you really subvert expectations when there aren't any existing expectations?As far as I can tell, besides a vaporware trailer for a game we saw three years ago, the most this series has going on is some very on-model action figures from a few years ago.
>>155698851>Conceptually silly things are still allowed to take themselves seriously.Of course, and I love stuff like that. I'm just saying the game had comedic fodder already, and it's unsurprisingly that the adult comedy cartoon guy who pitched the idea made a adult comedy cartoon out of it. It's not a matter of him trying to knock it down or anything, it's just the execution of the show is flawed. It isn't some new thing either for video game cartoons to be flawed, this is actually probably one of the better ones we've gotten (as low of a bar as that is).
>>155697711>>155697974I watched Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack 2 days ago. They sucked.
>>155697263Surprisingly they didn’t make her a raging lesbian. In fact she is ever married to Ax.
>>155698906You should’ve watched G Gundam, it’s the best Gundam.
>>155698900I own the Gilius one, it's pretty cool.>>155698900>It's especially weird when it's an IP no one has really been giving much attention recently anyways.That's what people are missing, it's not a case of someone cynically destroying something from our youth. It's a case of someone creating something based on a thing he genuinely remembers liking as a kid and doing a flawed job of it. He pitched the idea of doing a Golden Axe cartoon, they didn't come to him about it.
>>155698808It's not rigged or tween shit like R&M so it's automatically a step above cheap looking shows like that.
>>155698905I'll be honest anon, if this show is your standard for "not that bad," then you kind of lose the right to bitch when people say they don't care about cartoons being replaced by AI.Because this show is on the same level as AIslop.
>>155698827>""destroyed it.""holy shit dude calm down
>>155698948>not rigged or tween shit like R&MAll 2D television animation is rigged. Animating everything be hand would be incredibly expensive and time consuming.
>>155697884/co/ is such an unironically cucked board they have no choice to admit anime is objectively better.
shills coming in full force
>>155698982Golden Axe isn't riggedwtf are you on about?
>>155698948There's a wide chasm between "not tweened/rigged" and "stellar."
>>155698906You might be retarded sorry.
>>155698999>Goalpost moved successfully.
>>155698997Of course it is. All major western studios use rigs. They might do occasional frame by frame sequences but 90% of it is going to be tweened.
>>155699015That's not moving the goalpost, you said the animation is stellar, either post an example or go pound sand.
>>155697263>Director and studio execs?Kike.>Character? Dyke.>Her actions?Being the town tryke.>Me watching this?Sike.>My reaction?Dislike.>Japan's reaction?Disrike.>Emotional maturity of viewers and creators?That of a tyke.>Real world consequence of being a dyke in a medieval setting?Head on a spike or pike as some say.>My advice to these artists?Take a hike and ride a bike.>My shoes? Nike (not sponsored btw, found them in dumpster)>My name? Mike, talking through a mic.
>>155697406They kind of fucked these characters up ngl. Such is life. Do you have any more concept art?
>>155698927I'm not implying it's done out of malice or anything. Even parody and subversion can be done out of love.I'm just saying it's a weird angle to come at with something that's barely got mainstream penetration outside of kids who were frequenting arcades in 1989, or their younger siblings finding it in some console anthology years later.It should really establish a baseline reintroduce itself to modern audiences before it jumps straight to self parody.
>>155697822HE
>>155698924I've seen g Gundam. It's also bad, in the sense that it's a retard that can't itself but be that way. Zeta and CCA were supposed to be good, mature mecha entertainment, instead it's like padded out high school fanfiction. >char is a nice guy who just obsessively wants people to move to space and the earth to grow>wait, no, he's a genocidal manicDon't forget, char also gunned down innocent civilians in the first show. Apparently no one noticed that in the fandom or the production crew.
>>155697822Great talking points from 2016 anon, but you can be tired of something for how unoriginal it is without any other emotions tied to it.
>>155697263Its wild how some anon watched the first 5min of the show, found one thing to spin into outrage, and has been bringing it up for weeks nonstop.
>>155699055>and has been bringing it up for weeks nonstop.Has he?This is like the 4th thread I've seen for this show in the last 3 weeks.I don't think anyone really cares much about it, even here in the land of autists.
>>155698977I don't know if it really counts as exaderation when Sega apparently had to be coaxed to dust this IP off, and the show didn't even do well. It most likely is indeed going back into the catacombs.But I guess you can argue you can't destroy it if it was already dead when we got here.
>>155698847Thinly veiled Family guy set up
>>155698827Ideas inside every concept act as an instruction manual for growth and division for the product. When this product gets damaged or mutated, the instructions fail, when they fail, the product dies when it gets old. Corporate companies ignore stop signals and keep multiplying rapidly the product until it is a horrid mess that kills the concept. Things need to die and be left to rest, to force them to keep going just creates these kinds of cancer that ruin everything you love.
>>155699037Yeah I see what you mean. You're probably right too that establishing a baseline to reintroduce itself would make more sense if you were trying to revive Golden Axe. It seems to be that McMahan liked Golden Axe and wanted to do the cartoon, and Sega gave it to him because it's not a property they're closely guarding or planning to do much with anyway. They've been reviving old series lately like Streets of Rage and Crazy Taxi, so maybe they appreciated his pitch and thought it could give the series attention. But the idea itself didn't begin as an organized attempt by Sega to promote and reintroduce Golden Axe.
Just wanted to say I can tell nobody has watched past the first 2 episodes on youtube they posted for free.
>>155699273You're right about me at least. Does it get better or worse? How do the first two compare?
>>155699273No why would I do you continue to hold a wire after getting electrocuted once.
>>155699273Nobody should've watched this in the first place
>>155699296I would say it gets better. Its just the final episode where it shits the bed last minute for a cheap joke. Nothing that ruins the whole season, but it's a shitty joke to end it on.
>>155698748The bird mounts in Nausicaa were treated seriously. Goddamn David the Gnome takes itself seriously and Frank Frazetta Art, Conan etc took itself seriously. This shit is fucking awesome and doesn't need comedy. BUT THE COMEDY ISNT EVEN GOOD
>>155699375I agree that stuff is awesome and works taking itself seriously as well. You could make a serious Golden Axe show just fine, and it could potentially be awesome. I'm just saying I'm not offended by this direction for a Golden Axe cartoon. To be honest, I'm happy Golden Axe is getting any sort of cartoon in 2026, especially since I'm enjoying it. I know many people would rather see it stay dead than getting a cartoon they dislike though, can't blame them for feeling that way.>BUT THE COMEDY ISNT EVEN GOODIt doesn't always land, but some of it is funny to me so far. It at least makes me smile, if not laugh outloud.We need more sword and sorcery shows in general, both comedic and serious. I wish Korgoth got approved years ago. We do have the Genndy Conan show coming soon, that should be great.
>>155697467>muscle mommy I hate you so much
>>155698089This is so much more awesome than what they're doing with him in this faggy cartoon, what the fuck?Why are cartoons exclusively made by and for faggots?
>>155698906Your soul is weighted down by gravity anon (also you're a mega faggot for skipping ZZ)
>>155697406The show budget is way too cheap for attractive character designs.
>>155698906Thats on you for watching Crapdam.
>>155698141it's okay it's non-canonhe's alive in nearly all of the golden axe sequels, so this might have been cooked up by the people out of japan doing the ports. it was common standard to just make your shit up back in the day when localizing it.
>>155697711Based>>155697884Yes
>>155698013You're telling the truth; Yuri doesn't have much cuck shit.Men barely appear in that type of series.
>>155698906the only good Gundam storys are the Original Movies and the OVAs War in the Pocket is a good series Everything else is just a way to market new toys
>>155698827Because you're too much of a bitch to do anything about it but complain.
>>155700305 it's not dubbed. I watched the others in English. I'm not saying no to ZZ, just I didn't feel like it. Also I heard very mixed reviews.
>>155698089https://youtu.be/cpt8tCxacjg?si=tj9tM_q490y3TMYw
>>155700511I don't think that's true, just look at the absolute state of the cartoon industry.It's basically on its deathbed precisely because it fucked around with things people cared about too much and is now squarely in the apathy phase.
>>155698013>done as a way to humiliate straight men.Neither was this, it was done to humiliate dwarves if anything. Jokes about dwarves being rough slobs (often contrasted with elves, or in this case an Amazon warrior woman) is standard fantasy humor.
>>155700553Amazon warrior women are often rough slobs too, so this joke doesn't work.
>>155700601But they're also often sexy, while dwarves aren't. To most people, anyway.
>>155697263This is how women act to you when you turn 30. Wait until you're 40, when they are asking if you are lost or need help getting to the home.
>>155697263>You're sp [retty.>I know.Nice. I like a confident woman.
>>155697695Technically, the preamble was that he just got demeaned and tossed by his cohorts. I think it's to show that his confidence is shaken from his team mates routinely bullying him.It repeats later in the episode when the skeletons pick on the shirt skeleton.
>>155699525>I'm happy Golden Axe is getting any sort of cartoon in 2026I'll be happy when the entertainment industry stops digging up corpses of my childhood to parade around as a joke then acted surprised when the best I can muster is "I've moved on, gimme something new or nothing at all"
>>155698089Suddenly the drinking and depression makes sense.
>>155698089>What do you MEAN I'm referrencing the home computer versions which don't match with the rest of the series' lore?
>>155700424He dies at the end of 3. Death Adder jumps out and he tackles him out of the flying dragon, they were on a flying dragon, and detonated himself
>>155698851>I don't mind parodyThe problem is this isn't even parody. Airplane is parody. The Princess Bride is parody. Both stories are funny because they take themselves seriously. Modern audiences don't know how to parody because they don't know what they're actually parodying. The only thing they can parody is parody itself.
>>155700897that's akshewlly revenge of death addergillius is around in 3 just as a mentor, then in roda he's riding the party's giant and what you mentioned happenssega never mentioned when does roda happens, but since it says "the story of the first game had already become a legend", if you want it to fit with the console sequels then it has to happen even further than golden axe 3.
>>155697263>erm, did THAT just happen?Western media has 5 years before it implodes
>>155697263Well he was kinda chopped so it's understandable
Alright anybody have any tips for Death Adder in 1 (arcade version)? This thread unironically seems like the best place to ask, better odds of getting an answer than on /vr/.I can get through the entire game on 1 credit no problem, but I haven't gotten Death Adder down yet. I get that you want to keep the dragon, once he's alone you can repeatedly hit him with fire and keep him down. It's the skeletons that are with him that cause problems. It seems like you have to keep moving up and down, blasting them with fire when there's enough distance between you and Death Adder. I probably just need to practice it more, but if anyone knows a good trick to it I'd appreciate it.
>>155698748>I can't be all that bothered either by a "funny take on video game" show when stuff like >>155698249 >>155698382 has been popular online since the internet began.Notice how the examples you're giving aren't corporate products which perpetuate that style of writing as a corporate trend. Nobody would've been interested in that parody humor in the first place if it wasn't contrasting with the sincerity of the official media. People enjoyed those parodies as derivative works, but most of them didn't have any desire for it to be the model for future official media.
>>155701050use constant jump attacks on the skeletons because that'll knock them down. when you have enough room, do the dashing maneuver, jump and do the impale attack (down+attack) because that's the one that deals the most damage. I think the skeletons don't respawn and it's just the genesis version where you have immortal skeletons, so at one point it'll be one on one and it won't be all that hard to lock death adder in a loop
>>155701071Thanks bro, I'll give it another shot tonight.Yeah those immortal skeletons are in the Genesis version, in the extra final level they added. Technically they're not totally immortal, but they have more health than the final boss himself so not worth killing.
>>155701050Offer him some ass wine.
>>155700854Him avenging his dead brother is in like every version though?
>>155701097yeah, I never killed these guys and focused on death bringer myself. dunno if you're using gillius but I also typically go with tyris and preserve all of my magic from the last 2 levels or so to focus on adder. the dragon magic does the most damage of all spell attacks>>155701145NTA but in the japanese canon gillius and his brother come from firewood (same kingdom tyris rules in extended lore) and they don't have a suicide pact, you can tell the team never intended to have him kill himself at the end of ga1 since he's the only character of the original trio to reappear in all of the genesis games as well as the arcade sequel
>>155700424He doesn't actually do it regardless.
>>155697263Living the based life must be so exhausting. Just having to be on the lookout for things to be mad about 24/7.
>>155700424So which version of Golden Axe 1 IS canon. The original arcade game ends with the badguys invading the modern world. The Genesis version adds an extra final boss who is simultaneously the mastermind behind everything but is never mentioned again. The PC version seems to be a partial rewrite etc.
>>155700462Fag
>>155701328>Living the based life must be so exhausting.Not really, you get tons of based media from Asia. I supposed it would be exhausting if you're like, a very specific kind of racist who exclusively hates East Asians.
>>155701353Shittaste, lol
>>155697974this explains why trannies are everywhere now
>>155701364Seething.
>>155701338the people in japan who actually made the games never mentioned gillius and his brother gari/gaira having a suicide pact to begin with, and placed him and gari at firewood and not the place they made up for the pc version, and he has to be alive for both golden axe 3 and revenge of death adder which happen a good amount of time after ga2 and 3. so you either discount the arcade ending as just a cooky ending sequence (as you have the proper narrative before that which has nothing to do with the arcade invasion scene) or you go with death bringer really not being a big deal in the end.that's trying to slot all of the games together as well, since in the genesis titles death adder is in fact not a huge deal. ga2 has dark guld and ga3 has damud hellstrike for bosses, so death adder was just the guy who got the axe that one time. it's in revenge of death adder and golden axe the duel where he's made to be a bigger deal and somehow manage to resurrect himself, which wasn't a thing at all before - ga1's backstory mostly says he's from a near extinct race called the titans and that he deceived the kingdom in order to attack and get the axe.
>>155697829>where you walk leftErm, ACKCHYUALLY you walk 'right' in the video game.
>>155701050>fire>beating it with tyrisYou didn't beat the game.Really though you're better than me at it. I'm still getting used to ranging for the three swing attacks and not the 5 hit.
>>155701338To actually answer your question, the Turbographix/PC Engine version is considered the most complete and actually accommodates for the sequels.
>>155701516While the PC-E version doesn't particularly contradict the sequels, it changes a fair bit of details (Tyris' kingdom is attacked on her 17th birthday, instead of when she's a child like in the PC-E) and the game was merely outsourced to Telenet. Things like this mean that Sega had very little input and that ultimately, when you have to separate the wheat from the chaff, people go with the actual rights holders. In that sense, it wouldn't be too different from the PC games making up their own lore, but just contradicting less details.Also, although the cutscenes are at least serviceable, there is the fact the PC-E version is complete crap.
It's ridiculous that Redditors defend this unfunny, woke garbage.
>>155701567To add to that, you can also consider the PS2 low-budget remake as a 'completer' version of the first game since it at least presents all of the protagonists battling together (and it's also put out directly by Sega). The PC-E version is single player only and behaves as if one of the characters fought on their own to get revenge as opposed to a team.
>>155701353Such a bizarre sperg out response
>>155701394No
>>155697695i assume he'd be less nervous in combat.
>>155701609>/co/pe
>>155701397It's like Shadow. SEGA wants him to be so badass only he can kill himself but fans really like him so...
>>155701639
>>155701639I am sorry buddy but your attempt to derail the thread into an east vs west flame war isn't working because you are too fucking retarded to troll properly. I have seen people do what you are trying to do way better. Here is another pity (You).
>>155697829If old game bad, why make new show?
>>155701567SEGA has a reputation for being relaxed with outsourced projects and don't mind Japan being Japan. People don't realize it but a lot of projects are devs wanting to make a game of their IP, making most of the game, then showing it to SEGA for approval. In some press releases its Lord Miller saying they wanted to do this cartoon and engaging with SEGA about it.
Well.Where's the cucking?
>>155699273I mean, it's on Paramount+, of course no one's watching it.Even if it were good no one would watch it.
>>155701699>>155701700>muh trolling/co/pe
>>155697822>i'm not a soft crybaby bitch>but I'm going to start throwing insults out of nowhere because of how unbothered I am OK!?!jej
>>155697263It's not really a lesbian cuck scene, though? She just doesn't want to ride on the purple thing with the greasy old dwarf with literal dead rats in his beard.>>155697941>Or is that just how this show is?Mostly, yeah. Which is really a shame because every once in a while it'll drop a line that'll make me genuinely chuckle, so at least one person in the writing room understands comedy.
>>155701852No
>>155699525Anon this show sucksGo watch Tigtone
Reposting cuz fuck it:>I would argue this IS serious animation, because the art team did an amazing job mixing fantasy and action and violence along with the comedy. But I’m guessing what you mean is why did we go with a comedic telling of Golden Axe at all, instead of something like Castlevania or Arcane? Part of the answer was that nobody was asking for a Golden Axe show except for me, and I tell stories and create shows like this: a mix of genre and comedy.>Those appeal to me because I find dark animated shows to be less fun. I like a show where the characters get to be funny even when dealing with real stakes of the world they inhabit. I think comedy makes serious stuff land harder sometimes, and emotional storytelling rings more true to me. So I pitched this version of Golden Axe to Sega and to CBS, if you don’t like it you can direct the complaints to me. This wasn’t an assignment, it’s a show I pushed for because I remembered being happy playing this game, and being in this weird world, when I was a kid.>The other answer is that you already have a lot of serious fantasy and swords and sorcery genre, it never occurred to me that we were running low on stuff like that. If you need a serious fantasy show, you can for sure find them, especially animated. Go read Conan, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Heavy Metal Magazine - lots of good stuff that I love!>And finally: Golden Axe the game has a sense of humor. You kick little imps to get magic! The game is fun, the show is fun. It didn’t make sense to carve that out of Golden Axe in order to make a darker show.Mike McMahan on why we didn't get a serious Golden Axe cartoon, from the reddit AMA.
>>155697829Nigger it isn't that complicated, you fucking fag.
>>155702110>The show's creator is a Redditor.
>>155700522Are you that averse to reading, anon? FWIW there is a (Hong Kong) dub of ZZ but it's barred by the licensor because it's poor quality. Even then, I absolutely don't regret watching ZZ subbed. The back half of the series is cinema and Char's Counterattack was a letdown of a follow-up.You didn't skip 0079 as well, did you?
>>155697263Is it even cucking if they aren't dating? The dwarf was already suggesting to go to a boyfriend's house, they ain't together.

It's probably part of why the Netflix Castlevania show was able to make it's mark despite pissing off fans in its own way.Listing old stuff from different mediums doesn't change the fact that you had a very vacant niche you could have filled, right before Genndy's Conan.
>>155702110>nobody was asking for a Golden Axe show except for methis part is true
Sorry if I'm under a rock but is the show actually out? The posts ITT reads like it is but I've seen no one, NO ONE ELSE talk about this shit at all.
>>155702110>>Those appeal to me because I find dark animated shows to be less fun. I like a show where the characters get to be funny even when dealing with real stakes of the world they inhabit.Does this show have real dark stakes?It mostly seems to be a comedy that doesn't take itself super seriously.You CAN do the whole comedy that also has extremely dark stuff in it route, that's basically the entirety of The Elusive Samurai, which is basically a historical action comedy, but even that show knows to start with the Siege of Kamakura where a bunch of peasants are violently slaughtered and beheaded, a young girl is raped and killed, and a bunch of nobles commit mass suicide.
>>155702110Why do these writers always act like the pendulum stopped swinging when they were kids? We literally just got those podcaster DND campaign shows and Krapopolis. Serious fantasy cartoons are the more rare breed now.
>>155697263This could have been something if the characters were actually attractive.
>>155702439It's not just a comedy, I could probably deal with that, it's one of those meta comedies where there is a general tone that the characters are somehow genre savvy of their own medium.
>>155702439>You CAN do the whole comedy that also has extremely dark stuff Yeah, Warhammer has been doing that for decades.
>>155702387No anon it has to be cucking, otherwise anon will seem like they're bending over backwards to be upset over something as small as a one-off joke about a random damsel not being into an old dwarf who smells of rats and has the dorkiest mount.
>>155702110>>The other answer is that you already have a lot of serious fantasy and swords and sorcery genre, it never occurred to me that we were running low on stuff like that.I mean, I guess he's right, there's lots of serious fantasy anime.In cartoons?No, not really.
Literally predicted it as soon as Westerners had their greasy mitts on the Japanese IP
