Present-Day Anime Animation
#18
The only slice-of-Life anime I really watched were Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star and K-on. Most others lately do feel like clones of either of them.
And studios should do quality control, especially Toei due to how their latest shows need to be redone for the DVDs.

I mean look how infamous the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was. A huge mess of animation, voice, and continuity mistakes.
What didn't help the show's case was bad writing from David Wise as well. He even ripped off plots from other shows he wrote for.
He's also become a huge bigot too, saying he created Bebop & Rocksteady and Krang, which is not true.

The original artwork pitch for Playmates by Eastman and Laird. Only the warthog and rhinoceros were chosen.

Final designs by Stephen Murphy. One of the original Mirage Studios artists and writers.

Early concept art of Krang and his android body, all by Peter Laird. He's also loosely based on the Utroms, which is obvious if you know TMNT.
Someone needs to update their Wikipedia pages, because this is all the proof right here. Sorry if this segued from the subject too much.

Anyway. Have you checked the other cartoons by CN, like We Bare Bears and Clarence? If so, What are your opinions of them?
With Nickelodeon, I only follow the new TMNT, but the hiatuses for that show are ridiculous. Fortunately, the new season continues in January.
As for Disney, I liked Gravity Falls but didn't follow it after the first twelve episodes, sadly. Not sure about Star vs. the Forces of Evil though.
I'm kinda looking forward to the new cartoon that Larry Bundy JR. is pitching for them. Hope they greenlight it. Big Grin
