Trigun Remake Coming Next Year

I don’t watch much anime. Just never got into it, though I’m sure I’d love most things if I watched them. One classic anime that I watched in its entirety and enjoyed was Trigun. And everybody loved it so much that it’s getting a modern remake!

Looks pretty fun. All the classic characters are there. The animation looks modern and sleek. Oh what a world we live in where this sort of thing happens. At least it’s not a live action adaptation on Netflix.

Trigun Stampede comes out sometime next year.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Looks Great, Sounds Terrible

The first teaser trailer for the big budget, animated Super Mario Bros. movie arrived on the internet yesterday and it looks phenomenal. I love almost every visual this movie has to offer. But watch out for Chris Pratt’s weird accent for Mario…

I just sounds so bad. I think I’d prefer if he was just his normal Chris Pratt voice instead of whatever weird little slight accent he’s trying to give it. So bad! Also, clearly Mario looks like Fix-It Felix, right? It’s in the eyes. Those aren’t Mario’s eyes. Those are standard animated movie eyes.

Anyway, looking past the weird Mario choices, the rest of this trailer is gorgeous. The slow, serious build-up to a truly powerful Bowser is a great choice! I love the balance between serious and some comedy. I’m so glad to see this isn’t some slapstick nonsense. It looks awesome!

It just sounds weird. But we’ll find out for sure how the voicework works when it comes to theaters next year!

Tell It Animated Tackles Dinosaurs!

The excellent YouTube channel Tell It Animated has decided on a new style for their latest episode. Rather than just trace a famous character’s style designs over the decades, he’s now decided to do the Jurassic Park dinosaurs by comparing them to real world science! Way to introduce science to those dinosaurs!

This is a pretty neat idea. I bet dinosaurs are tougher to draw than Freddy or Batman. But I enjoyed the video and look forward to him making more of this style. Do all the dinosaurs!

And, as always, my recommendation for a new video is Robin!

Disney’s Strange World Gets a Plot

The next Disney animated film, Strange World, ha snow got a bigger trailer and has revealed the actual plot of the film. It all looks good to me. Disney animated films have been on fire for years. Encanto was awesome. So my hopes are high for Strange World, even if it isn’t a musical.

Once again, Disney is going for a story about generational trauma, which is fine by me. If they’ve got a good story then go for it. Mostly the movie looks like they just let animators go full weird, as weird as they wanted. By all means, that should be fun.

Strange World comes to theaters on Nov. 23.

Thor Through the Decades, Animated

Tell It Animated is back with Thor! And again, the video has come out a month after the movie it should have been synergizing with. Oh well. It’s still another fun video because this dude does good work.

Another fun video and all our Mondays are better because of it. Though I think he forgot Thor’s appearance in Adventures in Babysitting. That’s a pretty big sin. But he does a perfectly fine job with all the other MCU Thor appearances. So a good time has been had by all!

And, as always, in the off chance the creator sees this, do Robin next!
