So my childhood is officially over...

[wafflejones]

And it's not even 4chan's fault! It's actually 4Kids fault, though.

If you want to know a couple of the reasons why I'm depressed right now,

READ THIS.


...It's a sad day for someone who is optimistic about 2D animation. A sad, sad day.


(Well yeah, SatAm cartoons were already dying but I had some hope.


Now with Cartoon Network starting to have live action shows (or whatever the hell), I don't know, peeps.


Oh, and seeing the 2nd season of XS come out on DVD? With Kids WB dying off? Ain't gonna happen without a miracle.)

I...I'm going to do homework to concentrate on something else. I just might tear up about this kinda thing. I just might. Okay, maybe not quite all that but...wow. It really is the end of an era. (So where's our nostalgic countdown of all that was great about cartoons in the 80's and 90's? OH! That'd be a good idea!)

Hey, maybe if 4Kids just focuses on original shows and not on screwing up anime then there could be some living on of it...


At least, Don let me borrow the first season of Batman Beyond. *sighs* Good times...good times.

I...I need a hug. D:

Sad, indeed, even if it really doesn't affect me (considering the little fact that there were never Saturday Morning cartoons in my country and that Argentinian animation is actually during a kind of revival. XP)

I'm still grieving over Disney, anyway. Why did they have to do it? I want my 2D animation BACK.

There is a glimmer of hope...

Check it out. It's The Princess and the Frog Disney-style. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Frog)

Ooooh, pretty hope. I hadn't heard of this one. I had heard of Rapunzel and I even liked Meet the Robinsons but... 2D, old and nice 2D.

If I stick to Animation as a major I'm going to be living in a box. Yay :[

[abyss-of-colors.livejournal.com]

Aww, who knows what'll happen. *pats*

Hay! You can live beside my box since the illustration industry is full of competition! Y/N?

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA XD GREAT. You can join me and my Painter friend :D

Dude, Illo major? :D Awesome. If I don't do Animation it's where I might go.

But 4Kids will be lost without the ability to try and take credit for another animator's work.

BTW, where have I been. I knew what Pioneer was, but I had no idea they changed their name. @_@

[abyss-of-colors.livejournal.com]

LOLZ! They could still do that, only it'd be stealing from native animators! :D

Heh, that post just reminded me that Pioneer = Geneon. To this day, I have no idea why they changed the name. What the hell is a Geneon? It doesn't sound Japanese.

You smell of pot-pourri! *hug*

Hey Ebonickel, I can't remember, did you like/read Harry Potter shōnen-ai?

[abyss-of-colors.livejournal.com]

I haven't read Harry Potter yet. D: I'm behind the times.
