Keth Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Disenchantment, the latest series from The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, premieres August 17 on Netflix. So down for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'll give it a shot, but it's got huge shoes to fill after Futurama's "Bender's Game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 please let there be a character named Titanius Anglesmith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 I've never been a fan of how smooth and shadowy the Simpsons-style animation got. But this looks like it'll have some chuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm not loving the Simpsons art style on this one but I'll probably get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Simpsons/Futurama with feels? I don't know. We saw how well it worked the last time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatella Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I’m realizing now I don’t like period pieces even if they’re animated. It’s a shame because I love Abbi Jacobson (from Broad City) who does the main gal’s voice. I’d love to support her but the trailer just did nothing for me.

FireDownBelow Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Eh...not interested. The art style is throwing me off. Plus, trite premise and so been done. Especially with fantasy. I think I'll skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayneLane Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've liked what Netflix has done, for the most part, on original series. We'll try it out when it comes along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayneLane Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 @FireDownBelow for sure. I like that they can take risks with the streaming format. Lots of stand up specials and other shows I would've never seen in the cable format, in addition to the original content. Between Netflix and Hulu I don't really feel like I missing out on much!

the division of joy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I'm interested to give it a go. If its half as good as original simpsons or Futurama, I'm sure it'll at least be good. I love both Abbi Jacobson and Eric Andre, so on that alone, I'm happy to watch. I also think it has some voice work from some of the Mighty Boosh people also, which is another plus for me.

You know, I completely forgot about the stand up specials. So many. Most of them are really good too. I've had more fun with the standup specials than some of the shows too. Iliza Schlesinger has a new one. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet. It doesn't top her 'party goblin' bit but it's still really good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 So I've watched 3 episodes of this and I quite like it. It's quite visually slapstick which is unusual for a cartoon, but is quite trope heavy/repetitive. I'm not sure there'll be a lot of character development or meaty story to get into, but it's good animated popcorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I like the look of it, I like the art style, even the third time round, it's still got some charm and character of it's own. Also, the Simpsons with feels? That used to be called the Simpsons. =[ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yeah, you're right. Still, that trailer above was heavy on the sap. Is it all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I like the art style, but that's about it unfortunately. I was very underwhelmed, it's basically a very poorly mishandled cross between Adventure Time and Futurama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The more I'm watching the more flat and almost one note most of it feels. Its a real shame given the wealth of talent that is voicing it all. I do think there's potential though to turn it around if there's actual character development and some non-farcical situations thrown at it should a second season be ordered for it. I'm finding the character animation really good, but some of the backgrounds/set pieces to be a bit clunky. I'm also loving the music for it.
