Clone Wars 100th episode
Saturday morning.
Good 5-minute retrospective video here. This season has I think been the best yet, in terms of consistent quality. Lots of good stuff. |

Wow has this taken a turn for the dark in the last 3 weeks. Lots of killing (not droids), not much humor. Serious stuff. Really good stuff.

Yeah. I absolutely love this season, but I'm having to discourage my son from watching because it's pretty much focused in the evil as the protagonists.

I get why they did the goofy episodes with the droids and the tiny colonel now. Those were for the little kids. The stuff with maul and the mandalorians sure isn't.
In sad toon news, Young Justice has been cancelled and Tron: Uprising is likely not getting a second season. Tron especially is sad, because it's really, really good (not that YJ isn't). But nobody is watching it... |

YJ and Green Lantern (which is actually good too, much to my surprise) have both been canned. They're going with some shitty comic Teen Titans show called "Teen Titans GO!" and yet another Batman series (which if it's anything like the last one will be complete garbage).

That sucks. The animation and storylines on YJ are top notch. Hopefully someone somewhere with sense will give it a second chance sometime.

It's a real difficulty with PG 13 animated shows. I can't really let my kids watch those as much as I like them. Thus I can't watch them when they're normally airing.

My 6 year old and I watched the first two episodes of The Clone Wars last night. I realize that we're only two episodes into it but I have to say that the quality of animation, sound design and especially Kevin's score, seem to be way beyond Rebels.
It feels like we're watching a film at a movie theater, not a TV show. I'm really, really impressed and the voice actors are excellent. My daughter jumped off the sofa when she saw Ashoka and asked "Why is she so short?". I can't wait to watch the remaining 98 because I've read here and heard from others that it gets even better. I hope Rebels makes the jump to this type of quality in season two. |

The only thing I didn't like (and it was TERRIBLE) was when Anakin and co. visit this "Force world." Just skip those eps. It's that bad and adds nothing to the story...

It was more cinematic. The minimalistic style of Rebels has taken some time to adjust to.
And Rausch is right about the episodes he mentions. They were amazingly bad, after being pushed as a major event (if I recall, that's when Liam Neeson reprised Qui-gon). |

Thanks for the heads up about those episodes but we'll watch them anyway.

Yeah, it's not only the visuals but the score and the sound design that seem far inferior to TCW. Now I understand why so many people initially criticized Rebel. I'd be kind of bummed, too.

Rebels came a long way pretty quickly, I thought. It started out sort of okay and ended great. It'll be fine.

There are some other clunkers too. It's not all rainbows and unicorns. You'll see why everyone was so excited about Ahsoka joining Rebels though. She has a fantastic character arc. Way more than you'd expect from a cartoon. Some other great characters as well. |
