Teen Titans Toon Art?

[Hellion]

People seem to either love the new Teen Titans cartoon or hate it. I like it, I didnt at first but it grew on me it might be because I never got into the Titans comic other than the one they passed out in school years ago that dealt with drugs or runaways or something so I really dont have anything to compare it to or get angry about. I was wondering if anyone has any good links to some decent art from the show, Cartoon Networks site sucks and Ive googled it a few times but the stuff Ive come up with is lousy and I need some clear views of the characters especially Beast Boy. If anyone can help me out Id greatly appreciate it!

i hate the show. i don't like the crappy anime shit that they try to do with it. if it was more like justice league or the other batman/superman cartoons... then i might try watching it.

Honestly, I think they do a better job of capturing all the right things about Japanese animation, from symbolism to simple action. They use strong color theory and some fairly innovative compositions. And sometimes they sing the theme song in Japanese, which is pretty damn amusing to me.

Mostly though, I get the impression from watching that, unlike previous shows, this is done in an "anime" style not because some executive said, "that stuff is hot right now, do it like this", and not because the artists thought, "hmmm, how can we compete with that", but because these guys grew up with anime, they know it well, and it has deeply influenced what they're doing. They KNOW the style, they're not just imitating it.

Best American "anime" I've seen yet.

Id have to agree with Inkthinker Im no fan of anime but something about this show grabs me. I actually think theres just waaay too much anime now, great for the people who like it but for those who dont its a nightmare, the idea of Sat. morning cartoons have turned into an abomination! Yet something about this show is so fun and the animation is so clean I cant help but be drawn in, maybe its the fact that despite the anime look and the occasional strange thing (such as the old giant water drop on the head) happens its not so bad because the show is actually telling a story that can be followed unlike Dragonball Z which has hundreds of episodes and flows together like a David Lynch movie.

Sat mornings are all about WB, Fox ruin it's saturday slot...

Who the hell gets up that early on a saturday,heh

[Hellion]

I would...if it was still like the good old days when every major channel had its own line up of toons that started at 6 and went till noon.
Hanna Barberas World of Super Adventure, Dungeons and Dragons and Super Friends were some of my favorites!

What Hellion said. I used to get up early on saturdays to watch TV, but that was only because the cartoons were really good. Saturday morning cartoons just suck nowadays. Especially Fox's line-up. They had some of the best stuff a few years ago (Spiderman, X-Men, EEK! The Cat). WB's was pretty good for a while but their's just isn't as good anymore. I want the Batman/Superman adventures back, or at least just a Batman cartoon that's on par with the old one, my opinion is that the new one isn't going to be that good. I miss Batman Beyond too. :(

Afternoon cartoons when I came home from school as a kid were the bomb..Transformers,GiHoe, Thundercats,Robotech,Voltron etc...I never realy got into the saturday morning stuff.
Acutely I couldnt wait till the cartoons had ended ,so I could watch 4 hours of Kung Fu theatre $$, now that was the shiznizzle ;P

I agree with everything you said... but backwards.

[bushiboy]

I've seen maybe five episodes, I think it's awful. I hate bad anime like Pokemon, and it looks like Pokemon to me.

The show never really reminded me of Anime, namely because it looks like Gorillaz type art. And Gorillaz art was created by the guy who drew Tank Girl who is English or Austrailian I think.

i thought i would hate it too, but its so retarded its funny.

you have to suspend your belief for about 30 minutes but hey, when DONT we do that with comics?

[Kaligula]

I really like it. It's like a mix of Hewlett-ish art and FLCL, both of which I'm a big fan. And it's just a fun cartoon to watch.



And that theme song is just do damn catchy.

its cause they made his skills on the level of Batman.


diod you see the fight with the real Slade and Robin at the end of the first season?

INTENSE.

plus my daughters and son love this show and scream at everything beastBoy says.

[Popninja]

Yeah, I love me some Titans. My son begs me to stay awake on Saturday nights, so he can watch new episodes with me.

I don't really know what you guys are talking about in terms of bad anime, but I think the animation looks pretty good...and that's just my own personal opinion. You want bad animation, watch Jackie Chan Adventures. Ugh.

Titans is cool.

Did anyone catch the time they did the opening theme in Japanese?

[Akira X]

You guys know it comes on Cartoon Network during the evening, right?

[Inkthinker]

Like, 3 times during the weekend. Twice on Saturday (at 9PM and 1AM, I think) and then again on Sunday, at 10PM.
