"The world is double-sided and constantly spinning, like a coin tossed in the air, and the living and the dead are held to its surface by sorceries too powerful for humans to master. ...And so the light and the dark hold dominion successively, and the land belongs in turn to men, or to the undead."

Spongebob Squarements

>>88677928
Wacky Races will finally come out. Disney has a few shows, like Tangled. A lot of new stuff will get announced at upfronts.

>>88677928
Excluding foreign cartoons, Young Justice season 3 is probably the only thing i'm looking forward to.

>Are we heading towards another dark age?

The US still hasn't left the current one but there's been a few bright spots.

why does it look so... strange?

>>88677928
>Are we heading towards another dark age?

If we go by the idea that this decade mirrors the last decade, then yes.

1990-2005 = The Renaissance age of animation, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern life, sponge bob seasons 1-3, PPG, Johnny Bravo, etc.
2006 = Transitional period, the good shows are ending and there's hints at what's lurking around the corner
2007-2009 = A mini-dark age. Shows like George of the Jungle, Total Drama, Chop Socky Chooks, and the Mighty Bee, CN Real pops up, Zombie SpongeBob is in full force with the worst episodes of the series (season 5-7)
2010-2015 = Another renaissance, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Gumball, Adventure Time, Over the Garden Wall, etc.
2016 = We're in another transitional period. The good shows are ending soon and what's coming in the future doesn't look too bright. CN has no variety and they're overdoing it with TTGO.
2017-2019 = By my calculations, another dark age.

>>88677928
I mean its not like any good new shows came out this year, but as long as current good shows keep going that is ok

He worked on SpongeBob (and also gave him those retarded baby cheeks and some of the later episodes) and Gravity Falls (which also often used his baby cheeks but they look less retarded because the characters were actually fucking designed for them).

Barney the Dinosaur is getting new episodes in 2017. Not directly /co/ related, but should make Barneyfag happy.

>>88681145
>Disney has next to no original shows, just adaptions and remakes of already existing properties
Milo Murphy, Tangled, and BH6

Also probably not next year but Frozen WILL be getting a TV show at some point (after second film?)

Also Gumball still has another full season after this to run and Steven Universe will run for who knows how long.

Also Nick has Miraculous Ladybug and Mysticons.

Also there's a ton of good shit on Netflix.

Samurai Jack isn't a reboot

Oh come on, this can't be all of it. Fuck it, I'm just going to read the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_in_American_television and see what jumps out:

Animated:
Ben 10
Big Hero 6
Marvel's Spider-Man
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Stretch Armstrong

Live action adaptations of comics:
Riverdale
Legion
Iron Fist
The Punisher

Lolirock S2 looks fun. lolirock was always the superior french Shoujo, and it's free of the Zutarian-tier fanatic that plague Ladybug

>>88683152
Netflix is a seal of mediocrity. And their current financial states means only more and more shortcuts and shit made to appeal to the widest audience
Also if you came to /co/ for the cape and Disney, you are the dark age. Shit eating brand fanatics only drags shit down

Fucking hell, you tricked me. It's interesting though since there's not a lot of girl action cartoons.

>>88681866
I was asked to do some last minute storyboard clean-up work for this awhile back. I wasn't aware it was already in production for a series, I thought it was still in the pilot pitching phase. Good for it. The animation tests had some pretty nice CG work for a pre-schooler show.

I think that news is from early 2016, like March-ish, iirc.

I don't really know anything about the financials/politics/processes behind animation production, but the news indicated that it's coming out in 2017, so I think it pretty much had to be going full steam ahead at that point.

>>88677928
i want to believe

>>88683435
The process in this case is that I did some clean-up back in 2015 around Fall and usually clean up and color for storyboards are done exclusively for studio pitch meetings or test audiences. Considering CG rigs and animation was already underway, I assume that's the case. For pre-school shows, they have a lot of shit going through the "research" department to make sure it's hitting all the learning notes they want and to make sure the kids act the age they want them to act. Things like, "___ shouldn't have a tricycle, she is too old for that. Make sure she is riding a proper bike for 7 year olds" or "This family shouldn't have too many electronics, we want the show to appeal to families of all incomes and not make kids feel bad if they don't own ipads and widescreen TVs".

Sometimes it makes sense, but I've gotten notes like a 5-year old is too old to be given a piggyback ride by her parent according to "research" and I have no idea where the fuck this research comes from.

>>88683497
Sounds like some of the research would have been already "done" just by the show being based on an existing book series. (That is pretty popular maybe?)

But anyway shit like
>I've gotten notes like a 5-year old is too old to be given a piggyback ride by her parent according to "research"
sounds really interesting to me. It sounds like bullshit office politics if you have to deal with it every day, but as an outsider, small glimpses like this are fascinating.

>>88677928
Voltron Season 2.
Wakfu Season 3.

>>88681866
Is it so hard to make a new show that isn't some lazy flash or CG and actually looks good?

If I'm being honest.
I'm looking forward to the rest of season 10 of Spongebob.
The 2 episodes we've seen so far were actually good.

>>88683215
What "current financial state" are you referring to exactly?


And please. Netflix is pretty much the only place to find quality cartoons anymore. Tv hasn't produced anything worth shit for years.

Race cars, lazers, aeroplanes, and a potential backdoor pilot for a Darkwing or Goof Troop reboot.

>>88683662
I don't trust reboots. For every Voltron there are ten fucking New Power Puff Girls.

>>88683662
DUCKTALES
woo-hoo

>>88683662

tfw OK KO was really fucking decent as a game and had spot on comedic moments.
I still prefer the Lakewood Plaza Turbo style but OK KO has just as much potential to be good.

Every time a new computer animated series is announced, some fucker will cry about it not being hand animated.

It's not hand animated because the year is 2016, not 1996.

Yeah, dark ages are soon.

Unless, y'know, Cartoonnetwork produce their pilots into full series like Infinity Train, Twelve Forever, Villianous, OK KO.

And not relay on imitations on shit like TTGO or Adventure Time.

>>88683807
I think Sugar said Steven Universe is an amalagation of hand drawn and computer. And that everyone think otherwise because they are letting bias interfer with their logic.

>>88683662

How the hell did Goof Troop tie in with ducks?

Also I kinda like the casting for the Ducktales reboot. Kinda hope it has some snark from Community and Parks & Rec too.

How the hell will that save them money? /co/ and children will watch fucking anything.

>>88684518
Well there is the "looks good" escape hatch.

I genuinely think that the average 3d tv show looks better than the average 2d show, but that seems to be a super controversial opinion on /co/.

>>88677928
The dark age since 2012 never ended or what are you implying?

Action cartoons were all dead or shit. CN cancelled Young Justice and GL, last of their action shows was Beware the Batman which nobody wanted to like. Marvel cancelled everything to make their shit cartoon universe with Ultimate Spider-Man and a much worse Avengers cartoon.

>>88684330

>tfw I desperately miss the look of traditional ink & paint and it is never, ever coming back
The human imperfections of analog-produced animation made shows look more dynamic and expressive. Most animation is so stiff now.
Will any creators at the very least give the Koreans orders to stop tracing everything and draw things off-model every once in a while?

>>88686530
Steven Universe already does that, friendo.

Netfli is bleeding money, and banks don't give loans forever.
On a side note, Facebook might face it' own failure soon ,too, considering they reached "last resort loan" status long ago and no promises were kept.

Probably not 2017, but according to a guy from Federation Studios during a Nick podcast, we could be seeing a "project" based on "one of the most world famous video games of the last 30 years,"
