Hey /co/, the first episode of Motorcity (new cartoon by a lot of the old Megas XLR crew) is free on iTunes. Just thought you should know.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/motorcity-vol.-1/id517052911 Oh, and the real series premiere is on April 30th, and will be the first two episodes.

Now it’s up to The Burners, a group of rebels led by 17-year-old Mike Chilton, to customize their fleet of cool hot rods and set out to stop Kane from taking over their last oasis of freedom, a subterranean refuge dubbed Motorcity. The series, created, executive produced and directed by noted animation veteran Chris Prynoski (“Metalocalypse”), premieres MONDAY, APRIL 30 (9:00–9:30 p.m., ET/PT). Anonymous

http://www.nickandmore.com/2012/04/07/cable-ratings-february-27-april-1-2012/ But surprisingly they lasted at most 2-3 seasons, especially Kick Buttowski, that got 3 seasons even with the ratings that got. It's probably based on the fact that it does better than Nicktoons and The Hub.
So with that fact, the most Motorcity might get is 2, 13 episode seasons. Though I'm open to it getting more.

So Just watched the first ep and I have to say the pacing was pretty bad, the character designs will take some getting use to, and the story isn't that well thought out. But I was blown away by the animation, the art style, the back grounds, and the overall energy of the first episode. I'm just hoping that the series goes beyond a robot of the week status.

>>35895472 well there are two fundamental differences between megas's story and motorcity's story. For example in Megas Koop is just a normal guy with nothing better to do other than battle monsters for the lolz. There are only a few episodes where the glorph are important to the plot. This made the monster/robot of the week format work because it was part slice of life and part action. Motorcity on the other hand is about a group of rebels tying to take down a central bad guy to free everyone. So if they try to make every episode a rumored weak point to take down villian>>>oh no its a trap>>>monster>>>villain escapes>>>tomarrow's another day kind of format this show could get kind of old.

I didn't notice the animation was aided with flash until a couple of minutes in. I really like the style, but I feel they could've used Flash further to create more tween frames. It's clearly inspired by anime, but with the western art style it doesn't need to have the lower framerate anime has. Anyone else agree/disagree?

Tweening many of those poses would cause the character's to explode into a mess (I know I worked on the show and have messed around with some of the flash files.) So it requires a newly drawn inbetween which is done if time allows, or just pop into the next pose as a cheat, being it's a TV show budget, the latter is often the case.

Actually, make one for Mako, so we can get a properly voiced Aku.

>>35908999 >>35908925 The show is hand drawn in Flash for most of the body animation. When good looking hands/arms/shapes are drawn or animated those will be turned into symbols and added to a library to be used by other animators down the line so they can speed up their animation by not having to draw it again. The faces are a ton of layers of symbols, nothing 3D about them, and are completely hand drawn in some of the fast action sequences. Sometimes symbols won't work and new head parts will be drawn and made into symbols and added to the library as well.
tl;dr - It's all Flash done with a mix of symbols and hand drawn. The only CG is the vehicles/robots

Why have I never heard of this? Is it on CN? If it is I may pass. I'm tired of watching great shows be cancelled for no reason to be honest. Seriously tho, has this show received ANY marketing?

>>35921641 hm.. Disney XD is bad... but not as bad as CN, I'll give it a watch. Mind you the reason why I am interested in where it is airing is due to the whole symbiotic titan drama. Still butthurt over the reasons behind that wonderful shows cancellation. Seriously... not marketable enough, fucking really?

>>35921625 They have been marketing it. It's on all over the main page of the Disney XD website, and they released the first episode free on iTunes before it actually premiered. I hear they've also been airing promos for it on Disney XD and on Disney Channel proper as well. Nothing too extensive like Korra's marketing was, but it got a bit here and there.

>>35921774 Fuck you. I merely worry about the safety of a good cartoon. CN cancelled Symbiotic Titan because they "couldn't make toys" off of it which makes me wary to get into cartoons that air on there. Disney has never been good about keeping their shows going. I don't want to get into a great series only to see it get canned.

Still a dicky comment.
I think the eight ball thing is just a symbol. I did notice how sweet it looked. Not a Megas shout out though.
It's strange I keep myself from saying things like "they'll probably do that later" because I keep thinking I'm watching some pilot that was too cool to get greenlit.
