So is this actually worth watching?
>>214670095Hi Anon, I started watching it but I hated the style so much I just couldn't watch it.
>>214670095They took down most public pirate hostings, so I stopped watching it
No, it's really bad. The bad art style a red herring. You think it's bad because it's ugly, but it's the story and characters that are bad.
It’s not bad but it’s not good
nope, not at all
lil bits: the animation
>>214670095No, basically just pretentious millennial tripe with a side of wholesome heartwarming quirk chungus vibes.
The dialogue in this shit is the worst. Almost every dialogue scene is someone going on a lolsorandom rant while the other guy goes ''wait wait, no I am here be- no wait what what? you shoved it up your what?''It's very Rick and Morty. It's not cute, it's not funny.
>>214670193How brown are you if you think this shit is pretentious lmao
>>214670232t. ranny freak
>>214670095I don't know if it's worth listening to, but it's obviously not worth looking at. So ugly. Why even animate it?
>>214670095>that kike ugly artstyleyeah, no
>>214670193Is it more or less pretentious than midnight gospel?
>>214670232How estrogenized are you to think this pretentious unfunny shit is watchable?>>214670438What's that? Haven't kept up with Adult Slop in a decade.
>>214670637I already said it wasn’t good or bad. What about it is pretentious though, it’s just basic stoner philosophy shit.
>>214670095I liked it, its not kino or anything but if you dont have anything else to watch.
It is, with no exaggeration, the greatest show ever made.
>>214670702>What about it is pretentious though>basic stoner philosophy shitI accept your concession.
>>214670115>>214670158>>214670180>>214670184>>214670193>>214670260>>214670287it should be legal to shoot weebs on sight
>>214671015This. SO MUCH THIS!Edit: Thanks for the gold kind strangerEdit 2: 327 upvotes for this? Haha wow that's the most I've ever gotten, thanks guys and gals and everything in between!Edit 3: WTF 600 upvotes wow thank you all so much this is the best birthday everEdit 4: Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellow r/wooooshers. I tippeth mine hat to thee on this pleasant morrow.Edit 5: Ok, so this went viral overnight for some reason O_o 2000 motherflipping upboats I really have no words thank you all so much it means a lot!Edit 6: ok I'm noticing some toxic discussion happening in this reply chain and I feel the need to address it. Sexism and racism are not cool guys, so please cool it and continue the good vibes please and thank you!Edit 7: ok so I don't know why but I've received a lot of downvotes on this post recently, maybe i got raided by 4chan.com/b?? (commonly referred to as the "asshole of the internet" for those who aren't aware). I don't really ask for much but I was hoping we could show those losers a thing or two, so please give this post an upvote if you haven't already, it would mean the world to me and show these bullies you cannot mess with a good person.Edit 8: turns out my girlfriend cheated on me, so that happened :/Edit 9: so people have been wanting me to clarify the previous edit. I don't have the energy to go into a lot of detail so the general gist of it is this: Yes we were in an open relationship, no that doesn't mean you can't cheat on someone when you're in an open relationship. If you are having sex regularly with someone and never mention it until they get you pregnant, that is definitely a betrayal of trust even if you've both agreed that she can have as many partners as she feels she needs to be comfortable.Edit 10: FYI, taking responsibility for the child does not make me any less of a man than you, actually it makes me more, so kindly fuck off please and thank you!
>>214671028>another retard who hasn't watched the show and thinks it's about DUDE WEED LMAO
>>214671046oh i'm trans btw if that matters
>>214671060I knew that already
>>214671074>i knew that i'm a tranny faggot alreadylol
>>214671099okay tranny
>>214671015Mentally ill subhuman trans faggot proving my point.The ugly art style is a red herring. It's ugly on purpose so no one addresses how bad the show is. So that if you don't like the terrible show it must be because you watch anime and you were filtered by the ugly art. They do this on purpose.
>>214671107>projecting this much because someone doesn't like his chungus tranny toonlmao
>>214671112the show is good, maybe kino even
>>214670158physiognomy in animation
>>214670965Ok my lil brown zoomerito, I’ll let you think cartoons are pretentious if you want to.
>>214670095doesn't look like shonen yuri slop0/10
>nooo my shit isn't ugly that's my style you can't call style ugly ugly is subjective nooooused to be these "people" were only on deviantart. now they're making television shows.
>>214671291Lmao why are you so defensive over this shitty millennial reddit cartoon? It looks like shit and it isn't funny.
>>214671324calm down trannygo to /a/ where you belong
>>214671333Why are posting when you could be self-deporting
>>214670095I kept seeing ads for it but the story seemed retarded and the art style looks awful. I think it's the fact that in a lot of animation the eyes of the characters look the same but with this style they're what is emphasized, the focal point, and it's off-putting.
>>214671357modern anime is bad too, just for different reasons.
>>214671394>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU MUST ENJOY LE QUIRKY DRUG SLOP TOON BECAUSE....YOU JUST HAVE TO OK!!!!!!!!!!?Why are posting when you could be dilating?
>>214670095Yes. The fat hippie faggot is clearly some self insert by an emasculated dork but it has enough visuals and characters to keep things interesting.
>>214671401The story is retarded. I recommend watching it just to see how fucking stupid this shit this is. Fans of this show call it a masterpiece and think the story is really clever.
scavengers reign > common side effects
>>214671498they're both ugly so i'll take your word for it
>>214670095It's good. The retarded weebs shitting on it are just angry there isn't any pedobait in it for them to goon to (notice they specifically call it UGLY and call out the art style while not saying it's badly animated) so they pretend it's a DUDE WEED stoner show when it's more of a Coen Brothers-style satire about about big pharma.
>>214671565>It's good. The retarded weebsTranny you've already made that projection earlier, try again.
>>214671565>hey look at this>its ugly>you're retarded weebs shitting on it because you're angry there isn't any pedobait in it for you to goon to (notice you specifically call it UGLY and call out the art style while not saying it's badly animated) so you pretend it's a DUDE WEED stoner show when it's more of a Coen Brothers-style satire about about big pharma.
is your tactic to spam the thread to drown out any positive opinion while acting so obnoxious no one wants to engage in an argument with you?
>>214671676>hey look at this>its ugly>is your tactic to spam the thread to drown out any positive opinion while acting so obnoxious no one wants to engage in an argument with you?
>>214671587>>214671656>>214671687Mental illness
It was kinda interesting but I never bothered to torrent the last couple of episodes. The art style is off putting to me. watch A Scanner Darkly instead.
>>214671703>hey look at this>its ugly>Mental illness
>>214671687>it's just one person saying it's uglyIt is ugly and based on the adverts the story looks dumb.
>>214670095Stallman was right.
Yes, ignore the annoying fags who can't handle any non anime artstyle and call it "dude drugs lmao", theyre literally judging it by the cover
>>214671841why do you cling so desperately to this strawman?the art style is ugly because it is inability masquerading as style.
>>214671841tranny pedophile proving the point that they made the show ugly on purpose so all criticism starts and ends at ''it's ugly.''It could be the most pretty show in the world and it has a terrible story and even worse characters. It's dogshit.
It's just Medicine Man done with reddit humor and a chubby loser, but has it where it le counts, self-insert all wrapped up in shit animation.
>>214671879Saar
>>214671884You're the only levying the criticism that it's ugly and nothing else you inbred mong. Stay filtered
>>214671983i thought indians hated anime. you can't even keep your strawman coherent.
>>214672008>look at this shit>nah>noooo you have to look at it longer "ugly" is enough reason to not watch something.
>>214672008No, mentally ill trans freak. I am the one saying that the ugly art style is a complete red herring. I watched the show despite the art style and honestly the style wasn't that bad. It's the retarded story that is bad.
>bro, what if there was le cure for disease but le Big Pharma didn't want it to get out, bro? >what if there was like, this chubby target audience relatable everyman quirk chungus, who was all "dude shrooms" who discovered it? >and, like, what if there was like this danger about pollution destroying the miracle mushroom because of like, unthinking greed? >oh, and let's have a career driven under appreciated woman character to be the, like, voice of reason behind the le quirk chungus slacker bro Wow, what a horrendously cliched plot devoted to tired preachy themes better treated elsewhere decades ago.
>>214672187>better treated elsewhere decades ago.name 5 films
>>214672187It's actually worse than this. I can easily tell you didn't even get through the show.It turns out that the pollution was not killing the mushrooms, instead it was causing the mushrooms to grow. The solution to figuring out how to grow the mushrooms is that you need more pollution from big pharma. The story then switches from a perspective of ''big pharma is bad because they kill people who find cures'' to ''big pharma good because they create cures to illnesses and who else is doing this?''The message of the show is insane. It goes from this very generic big pharma is bad thing to sucking off big pharma. All the problems with big pharma are reduced to a single old guy who is just stupid.
>>214672331>The story then switches from a perspective of ''big pharma is bad because they kill people who find cures'' to ''big pharma good because they create cures to illnesses and who else is doing this?''You think that was planned or that they were gutless that the message of "big pharma bad" would appeal to those heckin anti-vaxxer nazi trumpler magas.
>>214670193>quirk chungus vibesWhat does this even mean? Can someone elaborate
marshal isnt even quirky>>214672331completely wrong. the show held steadfast on pharma being bad. what you describe is the position that the bitchcunt was holding (she was coping and just wanted money) up until the end when she was converted and joined marshal.
>>214672259Medicine Man, Fern Gully, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Congo, Lorenzo's Oil >>214672331I was honestly predicting the plot/themes based off of what I saw in the trailer, lol.
>>214672331>It turns out that the pollution was not killing the mushrooms, instead it was causing the mushrooms to grow.neither of you have watched the show. the twist is that the pollution had nothing to do with it and that the mushroom needs the poop of a rare turtle species to grow.
>I was honestly predicting the plot/themes based off of what I saw in the trailer, lol.thanks for the concession
>>214672454>exact same environmentalist trope of "le hidden miracle cure we may not even know about and are in danger of destroying" with an extra step Lol
>>214672489not everything's an argument, terminally-online-san
>>214672374I think literal retards wrote the show and then they got the guy who made King of the Hill on board and he tried to write a more neutral ''it is what it is'' take.It definitely feels like the King of the Hill guy took over at the second part of the show when the voice of Hank starts giving neutral takes on big pharma as if he was a propane salesman trying to sell you propane.The entire show seems like two different shows smashed together. One is a show where it's HOLY SHIT THEY ARE COMING FOR US THE HELICOPER IS SHOOTING OH FUCK I GOT SHOT and the other is people in a room talking about mundane shit. Most of the writing is done by young idiots who watched too much Rick and Morty. Rest of the writing is done by the guy who wrote King of the Hill but he is way past his prime and none of the writing is nearly as good.
>>214671910only someone who frequents reddit would know what reddit humor is
>>214672489>the plot is so cliched and the themes so tired that I didn't even know you only watched the trailer until you told me Lol.
I knew, it was very obvious>>214672454
>>214671015If you hate anime get the fuck off 4chan you fucking kike, stay mad no one likes your ugly shitty western animation.
>>214672517Not true. It's common knowledge that reddit is based on an upvote/downvote system and, thereby, safe obvious humor that appeals to the lowest common denominator is pushed to the forefront. It's also known for heavy moderation by self-appointed/self-important terminally online midwit which reinforces what I said above. I can define Reddit humor without ever having participated on the website just as I can pick out the cliches and tired treatment of themes based on a trailer for a tv show/movie without having sat through the tv show/movie, brainlet. Get on my level.
>>214672517reddit “humor” is trying too hard to be like old 4chan humor while also completely sanitized
>>214672632lmao i have no idea what you are talking about but you seem to know alot about how it works. way to out yourself you really owned me, i cant imagine typing all that out and thinking you wone
>>214672618>stay mad no one likes your ugly shitty western animation.just the two mentally ill anons replying to every post ITTlooking forward to season 2
>>214672549>n-name 5 films! Lol, no you didn't and the turtle shit is the same trope that was referenced in the post that set you off. You have bad taste and you're too dumb to realize it, anon. The silver lining is that in the current media environment you can see it as a blessing. Now, go back to watching your cartoon :)
>>214672671>lmao i have no idea what you are talking aboutBecause you're a dummy with no critical thinking skills who is easily amused by cliche and the shallow treatment of tired themes. Simple as.
>another butthurt tranny (You)
You can tell a show is bad when the main people defending it have a meltie when people obviously smarter than them criticize it.
>>214672711fascinating how you deduced that i have no critical thinking skills and am easily amused because i dont know how your favorite website works kek
>>214670095It's good. I'm hyped for season 2.But of you want genuine discussion on this show, head to /co/ where they actually know about cartoons.Here on CSE threads, every thread gets derailed by the same 4 shitposting faggots arguing in bad faith about a show they never watched, never went past the trailer and screencaps.
>>214672828I deduced you lack critical thinking skills because you can't extrapolate what an upvote/down vote system, alongside bias moderation, does to online communication, anon.
>main character goes to an old woman so that she can grow the mushroom for him>shows her the mushroom and asks for her to take it>she pulls out a gun and threatens to shoot him and demanding he give he mushroom to her, when he was handing it over>the main character predicted she would try to kill him and removed bullets from the gun, but offered to give her the mushrooms anyway>this leads to the entire story being sidetracked by a crazy woman chasing after the main character>who just wanted to give her the mushrooms for her to growMentally ill retards show
>>214672888i could but i have no desire to. it still doesnt explain away how you are so intimately familiar with a certain brand of humor. you are trying to convince me and yourself that you could pick this all up by just understanding the moderation of a website
>>214672957>i could but i have no desire toIt's not about having a "desire to", dumb-dumb. It's something you instantaneously understand if you aren't a retard. The fact you think you need to "desire" to understand something basic is yet further evidence you're a retard with 0 critical thinking skills. There are also what's known as "context clues", retard. Given these, someone who isn't a mouth-breathing dummy (You) can extrapolate new information based on how existing information is framed and put forward to an audience.
>>214673115ok so by your own logic the lack of and upvote system and moderation here is what makes frogs so hilariouslisten to yourself trying to pretend you dont have an account
>>214673158>ok so by your own logic the lack of and upvote system and moderation here is what makes frogs so hilariousNo, retard. >still thinks this is about Reddit No, retard. We're now discussing how people know you're retarded based on even the most limited information available. That's how dumb you are.
>>214673208its about you knowing the intimate details of how your favorite website works and always was from the first reply and you keep trying to make it about me instead of just admitting the truth and this could all be over but you are so high on your horse you are afraid to come down cause you might hurt yourself
>DUDE DRUGS!!!!>*written by people who probably smoked weed once at a party*yeah ive seen it before. wasnt impressive when the midnight gospel did it either
>>214673237>run on sentence of seetheShhhhh. Hush now, dumb-dumb. It's ok. Go microwave some Alphagetti, be careful not to burn yourself, and watch your cartoons.
>>214673293lol yeah you got me again im totally seething that you outed yourself
>>214672512What both halves of the season have in common is a minor character getting a gruesome death or a main who just gets shroomed back to life because gratuitous violence is mandated under the Adult Swim brands>>214672452Tell that troon
>>214673318Ok, dumb-dumb. Remember to be careful with the can opener, don't spill, and make sure you wait until the Alphagetti cools down so you don't burn your mouth. Enjoy your cartoons.
>>214673278You mean>*written by people who probably smoked weed once at a party. Now act like they're heckin cool potheads because they can buy le dude weed lmao at le dispensary whenever*The most annoying, cowardly druggie.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so vehemently try to convince people not to watch a show. I'm going to watch it.
>>214673614samesies. fission mailed, samef*g-kun
>>214673614>I'm totally random person not upset about being made fun of on the internet because of his rabid defense of a cartoon
The show might suck but this thread has been a laugh. Thank you to all who participated in it and double thanks to overly invested retard-anon.
>>214673707Episode 1 is pretty good so far. Interesting premise, gets right into it. Art style is growing on me, I was wary until the scene where he puts it on the pigeon.
>>214673884Yeah, it would be a real shame if they were to introduce characters whose entire character is that they are QUIRKY XDDDD and the main character was to just walk around the streets without a disguise as random agencies try to kill him every episode and that's 90% of the show until it's revealed that big pharma is good and the MC is retarded for wanting to give people free drugs
>>214673884How's the Alphagetti?
>>214673961I guess we'll see, you seem angry for no reason though, which is really weird.>>214674022I looked up what that is, and it's some kind of Canadian canned soup or something? We have alphabet soup in America, but I haven't really had it since I was a kid.
>>214670095I almost had a panic attack when Rick&Morty ended but thankfully this show came in to fill the void, so yes 100%
>>214674049Alphaghetti is Canadian? Weird, it's the most American product I've ever seen by a wide margin.
>>214674049Kill yourself transpedo freak
>>214670158"It's bad because it's ugly" is also a valid criticism for films and animations. And OP's show is definitely ugly.
>>214674049>I'm a random person, totally not samefagging, who became so invested ITT that I read all of it and looked up Alphagetti Fucking kek.
>>214674103>>214674140This is some crazy kind of projection bro, you really need to chill out.>>214674084This is the first result from Startpage.
>>214674134It's a valid criticism if you are criticizing the visuals, but a certain point the visuals get so ugly they absorb all the criticism so people who are retarded and don't mind the visuals get to feel like there is nothing wrong with a show because they are ok with the visuals.
>>214673961>big pharma is good and the MC is retarded for wanting to give people free drugsThat's not how the season endedMC's idealistic naivety is confronted with reality so he partners with girl boss to distribute the shroom independently of pharma. Also, the Kodama are a common side effect of the mushrooms so it might all just be a monkey paw's situation. We'll never know because this shit's probably not getting another season.>>214674084>it's the most American product I've ever seenThat would be Campbell's A to Z, you feckless cunt
>>214674191It is how the season ended>b-but the drug has side effects that aren't explored yet...That only reinforces the point that MC is retarded. This drug should be controlled and tested, not given to anyone for free.The show then proceeds to take a shit on everything as the old woman decides to poison the water supply with the drug, which goes in direct opposition to her wanting to sell the drug for a small profit.
>>214672331If this is true then the show isn't just bad, it's downright malicious.
>>214674266none of it is truethat anon hasn't watched the show
>>214674266It is true. Their entire criticism of big pharma is that it has one old CEO who has an ideological disagreement with cures. He doesn't want the mushroom to become public because he believes it would kill the meaning of life.He kills people to keep the status quo instead of just taking the drug for himself and making his own version that he could sell a pill of for millions of dollars.He then gets cancer and changes his mind and eats as many mushrooms as he can and overdoses. That single guy was the only opposition to the cure all mushroom.
>>214670095don't bother it's ugly and no different than owl house
>>214674252>drug should be controlled and testedEvery pharmaceutical member is depicted as evil or amoral from Hink Hall, to his Klaus Schwab boss and even the Chinawoman who presented the addictive mushroom extract to Hink Hall>old woman decides to poison the water supply with the drugI thought the shroom tea was because the Boomer racket didn't have any growable samples left
>>214670095I think people are just going to have to wait for Generation ages 45-58 to die off before we get really classic writing again. I seriously think this show was good in concept though I thought the underlying drama about some hippie who finds a mushroom that cures everyone BUT AT WHAT COST was pretty interesting and liked the show that way but the problem with it, too many detours to worthless characters to bring a King of the Hill style humor that falls flat. As a action movie or drama it has some solid moments.
>>214674452it's fucking stupid how does a fat man wearing flip flops out run a helicopter
>>214674163You got knocked out in round 1, retard-kun. I'm not interested in a rematch.
>tranny art stylePass
It has to be the creator of the show making these threads right? Who the fuck else would get so butthurt over it being called ugly
>>214674485I haven't even finished watching the series yet bro. I unironically started watching it because of this thread. It's pretty good so far.
>>214674522It's shit there's a reason skibi toilet and digital circus get talked about while this remains dead
>>214674452Weak creatives make “adult animation” like that on purpose to deflect criticism. Weak humor to deflect criticism of weak drama (it’s comedy!) and weak drama to defect criticism of weak humor (its drama!) and ugly animation to deflect criticism of anything else (it’s just a cartoon!)
>I unironically started watching it because of this thread. It's pretty good so far.
>>214674553Because streaming platforms don’t release viewership data therefore third worlder views can’t be confused for American?
>>214674433Tranny headcanon. The only pharma guy who is shown as evil is the evil cancer guy who just gets off on killing people.>I thought the shroom tea was because the Boomer racket didn't have any growable samples leftTypical mentally ill shit you expect from a fan of the show. There was no reason for the tincture to be made. They were wasting the mushrooms to create a concentrated version of the drug just to see what happens. MC got mad of it and dipped his hands in it which gave him the biggest high in the show until the cancer guy ate dozens of shrooms.
>>214670095Unlike most of this thread, I've actually watched it.The animation is great, the characterisation is kinda predictable, not the best.The story's themes is interesting, it portrays both sides of what the Mushroom could do for the world, in both good and bad. The beats are pretty straightforward until a certain effect happens, which is a interesting thread. I'll happily watch S2 to see where its going.
>>214674728Kill yourself trans freak
watching this show I'm supposed to feel bad for the mom losing her mind then she kills herself. the art style really is the worst thing about as, as is the retarded lesbian cop
>>214670095It insists on itself
>>214670095>So is this actually worth watching?No. Not even a little bit.
>>214674553Well now you're just being obtuse and contrarian, those are talked about more because they're free on Youtube so they're more accessible. Having watched some of both of those, Common Side Effects is much better.
>>214674766> someone posts an actual opinion instead of > muh reddit > muh dude weed > muh pro/anti vax status> kys trannyYou’re the festering tumour in the gut of humanity, a rotting malignancy that poisons everything it touches and still has the arrogance to call itself alive. Your mother and father dreamed of a better child, but they were legally forced to watch you become a faggot.
>>214674862obliterated that anon
>>214672869>head to /co/ where they actually know about cartoons.lol
>>214671028
>>214674966>UPVOTED!
its too slow for me
>>214675216Thanks for bringing this post to my attention because I heckin' enjoyed the ride!
>>214675451The entire first season is less than 4 hours.
>>214675675>4 hours watching a cartoon
>>214670095the protagonist is a compete faggot and simps for his onetis since high school that only wants to make money off of his research
>>214671292I stood up and shouted "KINO!" at my tv when I saw this scene for the first time
I hate the artstyle
>>214675858
It was ok I’m surprised people say it’s ugly it actually looks pretty good. The problem is it tries to be kind of a “grounded in reality” cartoon and then has the MC do really dumb shit that would never work. Also the girl has literal women moments and the cops seem interesting at first and end up becoming shitty and uninteresting. All in all I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you have literally nothing else to watch. It’s pretty chill so maybe it’s good to put on on a lazy Sunday when you’re gonna take a nap.
>>214670095Yeah is pretty good. Turtle is the best character.
>>214670095Yes.Surprisingly it's alright. I made it through to the end, which is more than i can say about most post-covid TV shows....Downsides are the awful visuals, and the 2 FBI agents being really stupid and the female one being a lesbian, and voiced by a woman who sounds like she ate one-too-many xanax before the recording session...Also it would have worked better as a live action show.
