Moomins thread.
Have you watched this masterpiece?
Nope.
>>152973091
Most comfy anime.
>>152973156
:/
>>152973091
Yes.
But again I need to ask, is this anime because it was animated in japan? The characters are finnish.
If this is anime, Spider-man the animated series is anime because it was also animated in japan. (and the only version of spider-man that actually reaches a non-cringe, watchable standard)
>>152973368
>the only version of spider-man that actually reaches a non-cringe, watchable standard
Are you trying to fuck with Tobey Maguire right now?
>>152973368
It's in a gray zone.
It uses things from both japanese and western animation, so it's hard to define.
>>152973368
>But again I need to ask, is this anime because it was animated in japan? The characters are finnish.
Yes, everything that is animated in Japan is called anime. However, Japanese calls anime everything that is animated, regardless of if it was western or Japanese animation.
>>152973368
>If this is anime, Spider-man the animated series is anime because it was also animated in japan. (and the only version of spider-man that actually reaches a non-cringe, watchable standard)
Are you talking shit about manga Spiderman?
I'm horrified about the Finnish redub they are going to do.
>>152973368
Man I fucking loved that show. I didn't even know it was animated in japan.
>>152973507
Are you talking shit about tokusatsu Spiderman?
>>152973568
I almost forgot about that one. Thanks for reminding me about that masterpiece.
>>152973091
Of course, and being from a Nordic country where moomins are respected I got to watch a proper quality dub as well.
The Japanese dub is also great, but I do take issue with the washed out colours in every Japanese copy I've seen. Made the spooky episodes such as pic related a lot less moody.
>>152973368
The moomin anime has clear Japanese influences and had a lot of creative freedom. The music and sound design, character designs and personalities etc are very anime.
>>152973091
I would, but there's no subs for it. It looks really comfy though, I remember watching the cartoon as a kid.
>>152973701
There are subs for the first 30 or so episodes floating around. Google it.
>>152973612
Which country? Here in Finland every kid have watched them I think
>>152973510
The originals aren't going anywhere. You just have to ignore the redub.
bump
>>152973091
The 90s revival has to be the most calming, aesthetic show of the franchise.
>>152973540
SHOCKEEEEER
The 1992 movie about the comet was pretty amazing. Watched it many times already and will do so again in the future.
>>152974272
I love Toves art on moomins
>>152973818
>>152973612

This piece of shit has ruined my sleep for few good days when I've seen it for the first time.
No horror movie has was even close to this level od spooks.

I have seen many nightmares of it :S
Wasn't someone interested in subbing it?
By the way, the translation project is still going. They released an episode last November.
>>152975757
>>152975553
Translation to what language?
>>152976093
English subs for Tanoshii Moomin Ikka.
>>152973368
If a Finnish book is adapted into an anime it's an anime. Rascal or Howl's Moving Castle aren't magically not anime because they adapted foreign source materials.
>>152974935
Please remember the Groke is just a lonely old lady who wants a companion and a hobby. If she didn't freeze shit to death she'd have a house full of cats. One time she really wanted a wooden pony because at least it wouldn't leave her like everyone else.
REMOVE FINN FROM RIGHTFUL RUSSIAN CLAY
>>152973091
When I was a kid, yeah.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxJ-UzW99uU
Actually, I am watching it right now.
Obligatory for a Moomin thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJv3UM-CuiYArabic is the scariest
Never watched it but when I worked in Finland they all really liked it.
>>152977021
i'm swedish myself and i think the swedish groke captures her best desu
>>152976849
THE HOHOL CLAY IS RIGHT THERE
JUST TAKE SOME YOU DOUBLE COSSACK
>>152977021
I speak arabic and that wasn't scary at all. It was a very standard arabic accent. The purple hippo actually sounded like he cared about his family and was much more formal than the english voice.
Unless you mean the groaning shit in which case the finland's swedish one was way scarier.
Where do I start with to get into this? In English
>>152977322
Why would you want to get into some obscure Finnish/ sweetish cartoon?
I'm honestly curious.
>>152977387
>obscure
Moomin is far from obscure anon.
>>152973091
isn't this shit smurfs-tier?
>>152977412
Yea maybe it's popular in the nordic countries but go to the rest of the world and see how many people recognize it.
>>152977444
It's really popular in Japan. You can find merch of the characters everywhere.Snufkin stuff is the most expensive.
>>152977444
Stop being ignorant, you embarrass yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWc828gGsro
>>152977587
I don't get it. Are you trying to prove your point by showing me a nordic documentary?
The video isn't available where I am which proves my point.
There's a japanese moomin theme park being opened in 2019, will there be a new anime?
>>152973091
It's ultra comfy, the books are great as well
>>152973091
watched it when I was 3 or 4,
>some people turned into pink clouds
scared the hell out of me, never watched it again
>>152977322
Is there anyone who can answer this? Where do I start? What should I watch? There are like a million adaptations
>>152977021
>japanese dub threatens to shoot her, hit her in the head, and beat her with the bat if she doesn't leave
>other ones ask her to go because she's scaring the flowers
>>152977628
>The video isn't available where I am
Sucks to be American.
>>152973368
It's kind of in a gray zone. It's based on Finnish books, the production company was a Finnish-Dutch joint effort iirc, and the Finnish author and her family controlled the production rather strictly and for example turned down the first attempts at adapting the Moomins by the nips which included driving cars and swearing or such. So it's not a full anime, because so much of the creative work, directing etc came from Finland and the japanese part was mainly animating the characters as instructed.
But it's a cartoon made in Japan, so in that sense it's anime.
>>152977678
Start with JewTube
>>152977678
Either the novels or watch the 90's anime (Tanoshii Moomin Ikka)
>>152973612
>character designs
They're based very faithfully on Jansson's work though?
>>152977731
I'm not though. I am currently in america for univ but I'm not american.
But either way instead of providing proof you're just calling me out on where I live. Which makes sense cause there is no proof because it is indeed obscure as fuck.
>>152977816
Keep projecting. And don't ever set your foot in Yurop.
>>152977444
Something tells me you're not a Britfag, and have never taken Moomin merch into a Chinatown restaurant before.
>>152977678
Your options for English subs are limited, but the English dub is widely available (but stops short of the full episode run). The Comet film is on BakaBT with English subs and Japanese audio, but the original lip sync was done for Finnish as it was commissioned for their theatres.
>>152977743
Which of the Japanese made series is this referring to? I know the original one was ridiculously off kilter and looks extremely dated now.
>>152977018
I was spooked by the white condom-like fuckers. They were so weird.

It seems you're the one projecting there fellow. Also there's more to the world than europe and the US.
Must suck to not be able to accept you're wrong and resort to baseless accusations.
>>152977945
I am indeed not from England. And have indeed never taken any kind of merch into a chinese restaurant. Unless you count my clothes but that's like mandatory, can't go walking around naked.

what's with the kappa?
don't remember that

The 1969 "Moomin" series
>Moomin (ムーミン Mūmin?) is a Japanese anime television series which was broadcast on Fuji Television between 1969 and 1970. The series is loosely based on the Moomin books by the Finnish author Tove Jansson.[1] A sequel series entitled Shin Muumin (New Moomin) was later released in 1972. However, Jansson never approved of these series due to dramatic changes in areas such as plot, atmosphere, and character personality.
>The series was never translated into any languages or released outside Japan. It is also notably different from the later anime television series Moomin, released in the early 1990s
>Tokyo Movie Shinsha undertook the production at first and drew Moomintroll's eyes like of Japanese children, who became an ordinary boy who occasionally fought or acted sly. To that, along with things such as Snufkin driving a car, Tove Jansson, the original author, angrily said: "My Moomin is no driver, fighter or moneymaker", an opinion shared by Hayao Miyazaki, who participated as an animator.
>This series has not been released on DVD, and there are no plans to do so.
>Given Jansson's distaste for the 1969 series, her heirs are unlikely to grant permission for a DVD release in the foreseeable future. Moreover, several conflicting copyright claims exist on the Japanese side.

that old is so bad

HD remastered Moomins airing in Finland soon
amazingly comfy.

It got kinda cringy after a couple of seasons.
About to start watching this. So which version is best? Most places seem to agree 90s version.
>>152978986
90s
>>152979064
Where the fuck are subs for all 78 episodes. I can only find through 52.
>>152977678
>>152977322
You start by not even considering watching it in English. It's very incompetently dubbed.
Either find the English-subbed Japanese dub of the show (Tanoshii Moomin Ikka) or grab the Swedish dub which is probably more readily available.
>>152978986
https://www.nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=1_37&filter=0&term=tanoshii+moomin
>>152979131
Yes, there are no subs for many episodes
>>152973091
Damn, OP, I used to like Snufkin. In sexual way
For some reason I always thought Moomins was a European show.
>>152979447
Worth getting the english dub off baka for twice the episodes or is it shit?
>>152979658
If it's the BBC dub then it has its moments. I'd watch the subtitled episodes with focus, leave the dub for background viewing.
>>152979131
Dunno, I have finnish episodes in VHS
>>152977018
I always thought the wizard was a badass mofo though.
>>152973091
Is there a complete version online in Finnish?
>>152980657
http://box.animerunkkari.org/Sekalaiset_ripit/Muumit_720p/
There was on this site but they took it down. I have all the episodes dub in Finnish. I guess I could make a torrent and seed
Couldn't seem to find a good torrent. Also there are other WMT shows I'd prefer to watch.
>>152980776
Please do
>>152980810
On it. Will link in a few
>>152980657
Here is torrent links, Japanese and Finnish dubs
First 72 episodes+comet movie (90s) and in second link 26 newer episodes (90s)

Finnish or japanese? I can't speak nor understand neither
>>152980896
>>152980896
I won't be able to do this until tomorrow sorry but when I'm able to ill send forever
>>152980896
>>152980810
Since this exists I can't bother.
>>152980896
Is this with English subs?

Fuck off
>>152981408
You know it is possible to google something and have the image saved be from tumblr right?
>>152981478
why not change the filename then? you lazy fuck
>>152981478
i saved it from Ylilauta, i do not use tumblr lol
>>152981642
>lol
>>152981642
>>152977632
I dont believe so, they should make new episodes from scratch
>>152973091
They scare me. I only came here to say that.
>>152981766
I hope they don't do a new one honestly, part of the charm for me is the cel animated visuals.
>>152973091
Little My is a motherfucker
bump
>>152980906
Finnish for authentic original nordic feeling
>>152980896
>>152982667
>>152980906
The opening are still Japanese tho but the main episode's audio can be switched to Finnish.
>>152973368
There is a Little House on the Prairie Anime that is clearly anime, even though it's about American Settlers.
>>152982728
The Japanese intro was animation wise a beauty
>>152981343
Actually all of them are not subbed.. but at least first twenty or so
>>152982923
>>152982222
These fucking Finnish file names
>>152982923
At least we could get the subs from somewhere else...right? I really want to show my younger sister and cousins this series.
>>152982843
The point isn't what the anime is about, it's whether or not the show was written, developed, directed etc as a japanese effort, or if it's a foreign creation that only outsourced the animation itself to japan under strict foreign supervision and direction
>>152982986
here is some, but quality is bad
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5ZrlYv8xr9sBh74Pmm
I could ofc translate some myself because I have plenty of free-time, but my English isn't that awesome and I lack skill.
>>152983044
Does this help?
>>152973091
I can't watch this shit without being reminded of The White People by Machen, maybe I've been reading too much Lovecraft lately
>>152977018
That pink fucker on the upper right terrified me as a kid, I don't think I'll be able to watch more than a couple episodes without being spooked.
>>152976785
So Groke is a xmas cake that nobody wanted? Kinda like Bekki fron Norin. Both are scary.
>>152977001
Is she a loli or not?
>>152977947
They're the land version of electric eels.
>>152983860
She's annoying.
>Moomin ain't a Japanese cartoon
looking at the monsters here reminds me of the one in babadooks. been a long time since I legitimately said "oh shit" at a horror movie. so is this on nyaa?
>>152983860
loli
>>152984818
So it's acceptable to fap to her, then. Got it.
>tfw no seeds
>>152985408
I'm not saying I would, just that it's acceptable if someone did.
>>152985721
I seeded the damn thing to like 8:1 ratio and then stopped. That was weeks ago.
>>152985721
>tfw no subs
>watching a kiddy show that's on par with teletubbies
Why? Didn't you see enough of this shit when you were kids?
>>152986341
They are funny and comfy. I just watched s2 episode 22 and unironically laughed more than watching any other anime last few weeks.
>>152986461
That's more because of what recent anime has been like lately.
>>152986341
Kids shows are unironically the best.
>>152986661
I wouldn't go that far, there are a few spots in the top 10 AoAT list occupied by something I wouldn't show to any kid under 16-ish.
>>152986341
Read a book.
Top cunny.
>>152987352
Why don't I remember her?
>>152987499
She is whore

Don't be talking shit son.
