Why did it fail?

>>93693497
His movies are an exercise in cognitive dissonance.

I wish they made more softcore erotic cartoons on TV and movies (I don't care for that sick jap shit with tentacles and girls who sound like 5-year-olds).

>>93693497
Not enough bloody violence, Baddass Fight scenes and Gorn like a proper adult cartoon should have.

I dare say this show was ahead of its time. If it were airing today I think it would be more popular. There are more adult-aged men today willing to give erotic animation a chance due to their childhood exposure to hentai.

>>93693837
This show actually had uncensored tits and swearing, unlike South Park at the time.

>Spicy City
More like cock tease city. Had my dick out ready for some animated fuck scenes but they never came and neither did i

>>93694190
Honestly, I miss the days of being desperate for porn. You were grateful for whatever you got, which in my case was the audio from the scrambled channels at top of the dial.

>It was the first adults-only american cartoon on TV.
You answered your own question. Face it, not matter what animation will always be seen as kiddie shit in the US. The only way to do "adult' animation is comedy, and even a good chunk of those don't last too long.

It was interesting to hear Buttercup from Powerpuff Girls making sex moans on this show.

>>93693740
This entire site isn't for you, you need to leave.

Except for the voodoo episode that felt like classic Bakshi, the other 5 episodes are some really solid, quality noir cyberpunk kino and I recommend it to the people that dig that aesthetic.

>>93693497
America just wasn't ready for Tommy Pickles' VA to make orgasm noises

>>93693497
Because it was """""adult""""".

In other words, bad.

Did you watch the show? It was a snoozefest with the possible exception of Mano's Hands.

>>93693497
ah a show stuffed up around the softcore

>>93694798
That's literally the worst episode though - and I normally like Bakshi's crazier stuff like Heavy Traffic.

Oh?

>>93693822
You have a very childish concept of what is adult.

>>93693822
I think you mean cultural references and fart jokes. That's how you get an "adult" cartoon to succeed in the states.

>>93693497
Adult cartoons have it harder than both kids cartoons and adult series: adults won't watch it just because it's animated like kids would and a lot of adults won't give it a chance because of animation has the stigma of being non-serious regardless of the subject. That's why only comedy animated series survive, or indeed even get greenlit.

>>93696793
and that's why we have "so berserk is like game of thrones for teens?" assumptions.

>>93696930
Where the fuck did you hear that? They're nothing alike aside from revenge motivations and medieval low/mid-magic settings. But I think if GoT was animated, it would never become big. Most people who watch that shit would feel silly if it was a cartoon. Same with the Walking Dead. We're simply too far away from removing the stigma of animation being for kids. And the networks aren't helping by moving their focus towards younger demos.

>>93697229
How the hell did Japan manage to make successful animation for adults?

>>93697529
They don't treat their old audiences like idiots nor their kids like soccer moms.

>>93697229
more of casual observation. someone will point out berserk is the same/better then GoT fans will say it's for teens/kids because it's not live-action.

how many manga properties has fared well as a live-action adaptation?

also people keep saying anime/manga is superior to their western counterparts but how much does the west have compared to japan in terms of live action properties (drama, suspense, action thrillers (not the sfx intensive ones)?

>>93693497
American erotic cartoons don't do well. Might be better these days.

>>93693497
Is this a rip-off of Jessica Rabbit?

>>93694279
Sucks but that's how it is in the U.S.

>>93697814
basically.

She's also a sort of nod to Elvira

>>93697529
It's a common misconception that a lot of Japanese adults watch anime. They watch Ghibli stuff, but other than that only a few titles really break trough and make it into pop culture. They manage to keep afloat by making a lot of cheap shit or by hitting it big with the local /co/, or /a/ from our perspective. As for how they managed to cultivate the local adult cartoon enthusiast to a point where their opinion matters: sex, violence and a lot of choice in genres. All three are sorely lacking in Western cartoons by comparison.

>>93697792
>people
Stop hanging around weebs.

And apparently live action versions of manga/anime reach the Jap mainstream a lot more than manga or anime does. So even they aren't immune to the cartoons are for kids meme.

And smut is much more mature and refined.

>>93698286
Sex and violence is what a teen wants, adults want lore, waifus and suffering.

>>93693497
>A second season was approved, but the network wanted to fire Bakshi's writing team and hire professional Los Angeles screenwriters. When Bakshi refused to cooperate with the network, the series was cancelled.

>>93699937
Shit, you're not wrong.

>>93701948
Why do people screw over Bakshi so much? I mean they messed with his other works, like Cool World to the point where it had almost nothing to do with his original idea.

>lore
Lore is only good if the manner in which it is executed or presented is good. Lore by itself means nothing.
>waifus
That's lonely manchildren, not adults
>suffering
No, GrimDerp suffering for the sake of suffering is stupid and you should feel bad for liking it.
Fuck you, give me my Dawn of War tier action sequences.

>>93696109
E.G. Daily does the voice of this cop in one episode where she's investigating missing prostitutes. Turns out they're being transformed into cyborg sexbot/assassins that steal people's memories. Since their primary mode of attack is sexual assault... well, you can imagine.

Anyway, Goldman... I thought you were more of a Blossom fan?

it feels like sci-fi, as a whole genre, usually gets the short end of the TV stick and fails more often than it succeeds even when it's decent to good. Being porn, sci-fi and tied to a premium channel where you either want movies but don't want to rent a VHS or straight softcore porn, you don't want sexy cartoon blade runner all that much. Shame because I liked it

>>93693740
Tentacle hasn't been a think in hentai for atleast one decade

Indeed.

Pretty sure dat moment at 20:32 was the lewdest it ever got. Made me lose my fucking mind when I was 10, though.

With all the feminist, SJW and CalArts shit right now, a revival of this show just the way it is would be a breath of fresh air.

>>93696793
If they want to be serious, they have to do something like Bojack Horseman and be a comedy.

IDK why shows act like they have to pick one or the other though, The Sopranos is one of the funniest shows I've ever watched and it's an amazing drama.

>>93697792
Adaptations in general don't do that well. The creator has a specific medium in mind when creating it and sometimes it won't translate well. I love Slam Dunk for example and that wouldn't be very good if it was live action imo

>>93697529
Rarely is stuff specifically made for adults very popular. Look at things like Jin Roh and the Wolf Brigade, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Akira, etc. for how movies made specifically for adults do

>>93707630
not so fast, you should know this board better by now because the only episode any talks about when this show gets brought up is >>93704027
so now what would modern /co/ focus on?
>female protagonist
>depict men in bad light; the whole women as things in the virtual sexnasium, women are made things for the whole robo-hooker angle, etc
>women violently murder the male villain in the end
>lesbian relationship happy ending
again, there were other episode but all anyone remember is this one and it has all the elements of shit /co/ bitches about endlessly

>>93707847
At least the girls looked hot.

>>93707739
yeah, the hun hun defense would look awkward in live-action.

>>93704022

No way, fuck the both of you. I remember the days when "Bart, I'm piss"-tier comics and Zimmerman art were the absolutely best 34 porn you could find, those days fucking sucked.

>>93707847
Its not the elements themselves that ruin the product that has the elements, it's the writing.

>>93693740
I can really tell that you have nuanced opinion that totally wasn't born of shallow stereotypes.

>>93714906
Its amazing to look up an older but modern franchise on paheal and skipping straight to the first posts ever made on the subject. Its 99.99999% concentrated shit with maybe one or 2 artists who made something halfway decent. We're in a golden age of western porn now. I look at the beginnings of my collection from 10 years ago and delete most of it because the quality is so terrible compared to now.

>>93707847
I'm totally OK with man-hating lesbians as long as they're cute and/or fappable.
