Looks like anime

Sounds expensive

>>90616087

What anime do you watch that looks like this?

>>90616087
It was animated by an anime studio

>>90616598
It looks a lot like Gainax shows

>>90616055
Wow. It's being animated in Korea. Never seen that before!

>>90616055

As long as the main character is still Kid Goku, I'm giving this a watch

>>90616695
that's the point.

the entire sequence was directed by Hiroyuki imaishi, one of the original members of Gainax and now one of the founders of TRIGGER:

>>90616055
When they say 'our team' who is he referring too? Are key frames being drawn by animators state-side or is it all being done by Asians?
Also that intro could really use a more upbeat theme song imo.

>>90616055
Nice

>>90616768
It's being animated in Korea. Not sure why he thinks he's reinventing the wheel

>>90616823
Nice to be baiting putting down the shows of his peers

>>90616055
lol. So is fucking Steven Universe.

>>90616823
He's probably trying to explain why the line quality is pretty noticably different from other shows, even though the pipeline is similar to other korean-animated stuff

>>90616087
Better to look like Anime then to look like CalArts

>>90616706
I think the implication is that they will be drawing keyframes state-side and that they won't be tracing as much as modern shows and going for a more dynamic look that freely goes off-model.
Shows like Flapjack, Adventure Time, Clarence and SU are done with the same process but they have relatively strict rules as far as to how off-model they can go, and in SU's case it's actually detrimental because as an often slow-burning relatively dramatic serialized show the flaws are more glaring and off-putting when the characters are standing in one place and talking for a while, made worse when several of the storyboard artists aren't that great at drawing either. Clarence on the other hand actually looks very nice and dimensional in motion while almost never looking "wrong" and has a few episodes with impressive sequences done on 1s. Adventure Time had those odd faces in early seasons but the show was deliberately stripped of them by Pen Ward because he turned on that approach after the show's tone evolved and now it's looked pretty staticly on-model for a while.
In the 90s shows tended to be less trace-oriented and contain more fluidity and separate drawings than today, and I think that in particular is what Ian is going for with the show. New animation has an advantage in that the technical advances mean that timing is almost never as wonky as old shows' movement could be but much of it is very much pose-to-pose and the drawings have no personality. I think this will be a show with a lot more visible draftsmanship and linework, and feel more old-school in a way. I'm excited to see what the bulk of the show looks like.

Some footage from the TV Show

>>90616598
Sailor Moon

It definitely shows, with how choppy all of the footage we've seen of it looks.

>>90617139
>KO doesn't have Kid Goku VA anymore
Boo, but it looks fine.

I await it's premiere at 6:30 AM Thursday morning.

>>90617139
>capybara games
>his favorite dev.

The shilling was strong on that one, but the game doesnt look that bad judging by the screens on capy's website. so ill give them the benefit of doubt.

>OK K.O.! to be completely hand-drawn

Ain't gonna happen, no artist has the motivation to do a full show of hand-drawn animation with a deadline. Ian will drop the hand-drawn gimmick after the second season just like SU dropped its transparent items.

>>90617139
Jesus Christ dude wash your face, all that grease can't be good for your skin

>>90617260
again, Flapjack, Adventure Time, Clarence and SU, among many others, are made using the exact same process. The difference is that this is using rougher linework and less tracing, which they handled just fine all the time in every decade prior to the 00s.
Animation downgrade over seasons due to budgetary restrictions still does happen but it's not like it's something that CAN'T be done.

>>90617227
Capy are one of the better indie devs out there. Not amazing or anything but definitely not shovelware tier.

Okay, see you in or after season 2 when the budget goes down.

>>90617197
I laughed

>>90616087
Looks like Studio Yotta.

I've noticed that SU looks lazier in the newer seasons but I don't know what this means in to it. Can you expand on it anon?

>>90617100
What are you doing knowing what you're talking about and saying reasonable things, this is 4chan, we yell at each other and call each other cucks and post frogs around here, not say smart things.

why would you joke about that

Awesome, gonna be cool to finally see an off model shot every once in a while.

>>90617139
Fuck... his voice... no...

>>90617174
>>90617741
Sounds exactly like the same VA to me.

>>90617786
It's the same person I believe, but you can tell they told her to change a bit.

>>90617139
Why does Ian looks he just run a marathon? Seriously nigga's greasy as fuck

>>90616706
>>90616823
>le all american animation is done in korea epic mémé

>>90619811
other than Titmouse and Canadian flash that's basically true though
Though it's also true that the keyframes for the bulk of CN's traditionally animated shows are drawn by the storyboard artists

>>90617330
That's his skin ya racist.

>>90617607
c'mon m8, let the man say his reasonable piece before we ignore it in favor of throwing shit at each other.

>>90617522
Connie's glasses used to have lenses.
Pearl had a transparent skirt.

I think there were some similar things.

>>90621436
There's a reason explained on-screen why Connie popped the lenses out of her glasses you dummie

>>90617139
Oh well, looks like this show will suffer from the same "A->B" animation style most animation shows suffer from.

If there's one thing Sleepycabin's Cory has taught me, it's that good animation should always follow Newton's laws of physics, and that there should be a noticeable bounce before ending otherwise fast motion (something absent from the first" scene" we see from the show in this video). Something we don't see here.

>be Ian
>tfw to intelligant not to use rough lines

It looks amazingly ugly. By hand-drawn does he mean in flash uploaded to newgrounds circa 2006?

>>90616055
Looks exactly like the "ToonBoom" style he wants to break away from, I was expecting something like Ping Pong the Animation or something.

Weird amount of people seem to be misunderstanding what he means, OP included. Steven Universe is "completely hand drawn" in the same way OK KO is, what Ian is saying is that instead of doing final inks like Steven Universe over the pencil animation, then coloring digitally (SU apparently is inked on paper too - they scan and composite and color digitally) OK KO is going to skip the pen inks and use the pencil animation as the final line. Meaning that the character outlines on the show are going to have a textured/rough quality. The actual animation fluidity/timing is prob going to be comparable to other Cartoon Network shows.

>>90616055
>All hand drawn

Literally having an orgasm right now. I'd never thought I'd see the day. I hope the writing is good too.

>>90621691
Of course
And why do you think that happened?
Remember, it's not real
Things happen because they want it to

>>90616055
so will the animation be like link related?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COfrwf8L5pA

or will it be something completely different

>>90621862
What's the point of inking the drawings?

>>90621983
It's going to animate the same as every other CN show, the lines'll just look more rough textured.

>>90621983
No, it'll look like >>90617139

>>90616055
its gonna be a big hit.
too bad that means /co/ will hate it.

>>90616087

this reminds me a big of Yokai Watch (the few things ive seen from it), and of the new season of Pokemon that tries to get a Yokai Watch artstyle.

Better than calarts anyway

>>90622070

>>90622029

Aesthetic. Most productions want a smooth black line. Also because things used to be animated on cels.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I am ok with this

>>90622129
Inking became optional in cel animation when xeroxing was developing.

>>90622263

This is true. But Disney's xerox movies definitely had a different look to them.

>>90622263
*developed

>>90622442
so if foreigners do animations for US shows then what the hell to american animators even do?

>>90622511
Figure the agenda

>>90622511
They storyboard. Which doesn't even require animation skills.

>>90617139
Wow Ian is looking really good here actually. Lost some weight.

jesus christ

>you will never have your soul consumed by Enid then regurgitated and stuffed back down your throat forcefully

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QLCiwQ6Mgg

Enid seems to have no real character. Maybe she just hasn't had a mini episode based around her that allows her to show who she is.

>>90616055
AWWWW YEEEEES

>>90622943
She's a relatively cool headed person who gets bouts of social anxiety in crowds, if >>90622869 is anything to go by.

>>90623024
See thats like nothing. Rad is a constant lire who wants to show off to KO all the time because KO idolizes him, KO is a young manic hot head who wants to prove himself to everyone so hes getting into trouble, Enid just sorta stands around remarking slyly to the boys antics. Shes pretty much any female character since 2006

>>90622681
Animation skill isn't required, but is important depending on the show you're on and helps with clarity. There are plenty of instances where board artists straight up animate shots if they feel it's necessary.
Storyboarding is a big bulk of the animation pipeline and has gotten more complicated over the years, especially with the shift to them being done digitally. Don't get why people try to discredit that.

They still do require animation if it's for a fight scene. Too bad the animators do a shit job with it.

Mr. Gar is literally what his name is. Damn it Ian you weeaboo.

>>90616087
STUDIO TRIGGER?!

>>90616087
is there a full version?

>>90622442
was the original Samurai Jack animated fully stateside?

>>90624897
Nah he's just being specific

>>90616087
>>90624784
It's storyboarded by Hiroyuki Imaishi and partially animated by Trigger.

>>90617139
>Ian's flat top looks like KO's haircut

I love it when you can see pieces of an artist in their creation. Will most definitely be watching.

I have an idea for a cartoon about three gay-acting 10 year old boys. They believe walking to the toilet is a waste of time, so they just pee their pants whenever they need to go.

>>90623110
She almost killed everyone in the plaza due to her character flaw

>>90616595
This.
Why not do it by hand in flash and then just up the frame rate? There's no rule that says you have to make rigid stiff stuff in flash. People just do it cause they're lazy, but it's still the smartest route to go.

Now the show has to be a SpongeBob level breakout hit otherwise it'll get canned because it won't be able to sustain itself unless the network gets really generous and gives them like triple the budget of the other shows.

>>90616595
>>90626245

The expensive part isn't the method it's the employment/time. The dollar is worth more than the won so it's cheaper to pay Korean animators than American ones.

He's pretty clearly based on Mike HagGAR.

who cares? the art style still is literal shit

Is that Hiroyuki fucking Imaishi?

>>90616055
that's a standard for a good chunk of korean animated shows, like Steven Universe

>>90616055
>>90626986
wait shit read the tweets; usually korean studios still ink their stuff instead of using straight pencils

>>90616055
I like the intro but the sound lacks PUNCH and effect

Also trying to read those names feels impossible

>>90616055
I could literally watch that opening for hours.... in fact, I think I won't because if I do I will get tired of seeing it before the first episode.

>>90626450
even with that, its still more expensive to work with pen and paper than to work digitally

>>90626245
>>90616595
>>90627563
this is actually cheaper than most korean animated shows because they're gonna skip the inking process (most korean studios still hand animate)

>>90627008
Actually Korean studios use a clean pencil line. Not pen.

>season 2 has cgi

>>90617330
>>90618223
Because all people, especially males and more noticeable on black males, produce a chemical that acts as an anti-aging agent. That's why you notice people with shiny faces tend to have a "babyface" aka no wrinkles.
So yes, it is good for his skin, and your face probably looks the same.

>>90630426
You're supposed to wipe that off when you wake up in the morning or after you're done working out, dude. You just don't walk around with sweat and oil on your face all day.
Plus honestly I don't think you're supposed to make that much of it. Ian looks like he's sweating bacon grease.

>>90616055
The dudes fuckin insane, that shit get so tedious and burn out becomes a serious problem.

Godspeed ian, you'll need it.

>>90617139
K.O. still sounds like he voiced by Kid Goku VA, but she's doing an original voice for him instead of doing her Kid Goku voice.

>>90617139
>that voice

Terrible

Also, I like Ian's flatop

>>90616087
This isn't going to last very long.

>>90616055
What's the point of hand animating something that then has to be scanned into a digital format and animated on computers?

It's 2017. Nobody even has the equipment to do cel animation without involving computers, let alone the time or budget. You fuck up your layering? Everything's got to be re-done or you're going to be the webm that starts every shitty animation dump thread from here on out. That's why everybody stopped. It's fucking inconvenient.

I mean jesus goddamned christ, son. What the fuck.

>>90624897
Nah, it was sourced out to Rough Draft.

WHY IS THE OPENING ONLY 20 MINUTES, THAT IS NOT FAIR THE OPENING IS ACTUALLY GOOD

>>90616055
>>90616087

Come on son

>>90622511
post about social justice on twitter, though I suppose that will be taken over by asian interns soon as well

>>90623417
Storyboarding kind of devoured scriptwriting for much of television animation.

>>90638503
It's short because it's hand drawn. When this becomes a TV show its going to either be incredibly short, or we are going to end up with a lot of scenes where the characters are just standing around inside a store and talking. Like maybe 3/4s of every episode will be them standing around and the other 1/4 will be the hand drawn stuff being super fluid in fights or running scenes or whatever.
