ENG PLAYERS I BESEECH YOU

I have been informed that you guys are getting part 4 of episode 7 tomorrow, which means we are FINALLY going to get the official romanization of Revaan's name, somebody please tell me because I need to know what it is.

like, yes, it's probably just Revan/Levan, but look, I'm sitting here with my finger over the button of all these Laverne and Shirley jokes and just waiting for the opportunity to deploy them --

An Alternative to the Studio System?: Indie Animation Forges Ahead [Part 4]

continued from part 3. Split because Tumblr claimed there was an error in the post.

A few other indie animations are worth noting. Take for example, a comedy sci-fi music series named Starstruck, surrealist cyberpunk anime named Dreamcatchers, and an animated young adult horror mystery named Black Pines. There's artist and animator Tamara's Starmakers series (with a bisexual girl named Astra), and storyboarder Kaitrin Snodgrass's seeming space opera, Buckwild.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs, my History Hermann blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the eleventh article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on July 15, 2022.

There's also a young adult action-adventure fantasy film named The Will of Monsters, by filmmaker and animator Christopher Wade, an animated project named Big Cat Bandits, and about globe-traveling cat thieves "resisting an evil world-conquering empire with crime". It was exciting to learn about 2D freelance animator Nadia Dar's series based on growing up mixed race entitled Brighter, and an animated series named Ironface "steeped in 80s pop culture...part Terminator, and all NIGHTMARE" according to the show's teaser. Others are just as intriguing, such as an action-comedy named Defender Squad about an alien woman who crash lands on Earth and "joins a low ranking two-person hero team" according to series creator Royal Wildfire.

These series, and many others, [11] are examples of creating animation without connections to big companies. These creators aren't on "puppet strings". Unlike series produced made by big companies, indie animations obviously depend on people's support, due to lack of support from the industry unsurprisingly. The indie animations are often shared by their creators, following the basic marketing advice some shared about small indie creative projects. Still, it is worth remembering, as The Owl House creator and bisexual animator Dana Terrace once pointed out, "nothing is precious in animation."

This makes me think about a Russian indie series about a family of Metalheads entitled Metal Family. It seems to have stopped for the time being. Western sanctions on Russia limited financial options available to Russians. They resulted in challenges for the show's staff in getting money necessary for the show's continuation. From comments on the Metal Family subreddit, I get the impression that the series is a rut now and won't be coming out anytime soon. Presumably work on episodes is going forward, but slowly. My enthusiasm for the series dissipated after a character used an anti-gay slur unnecessarily and no one attempted to improve the dialogue.

On a more positive note, there are are creators such as a 2D Thai animator named KAGO, and an indie feature animation director, Fnook. Indie animation studios Cloudrise Pictures, Paper Panther, Tapocketa, Krispy Animation, and Bandit Mill are producing animations. The latter is working to create "unique, different adult animation" such as The Boys of Boxtown. Bitter Animation is making a pilot named Stranger and many other animations. The indie animated studio, Sunflower Club, is going forward with Little Wolf and Life in Hell.

There are many other series in the works. This includes DynamoToon's sci-fi fantasy comedy named Horizonauts. There's also a queer Colombian-American 2D artist and animator named TipsyJHearts creating a series entitled The Evil Little Thing, and an animated series named The Porcelain Prince by Gabrielle Teaford. Also of note is an unnamed sci-fi crime drama "heavily inspired by Avatar and RWBY" by Keelan270, and Animation Emfatuation's Crime!, a short film in the process about knightlights and teddy bears which fight monsters at night entitled Knightlights & Teddy Bears. 

It is worth pointing to a 2D-animated cartoon with slapstick and adventure entitled The Incredible Adventures of Detective Cat, an independent drama named GrindCove, Angye Burman's Real Fantasy: Fight for the Past which focuses on four teens who try to figure out their future while "fighting off evil...and struggling with school". Then there's a series by an animator, Shorter, named Gangs for Rent. It is an animated sitcom about gangsters, with LGBTQ people, those on the spectrum, and with mental disorders.

There are many other indie animated series out there, [12] some of which aren't in this article despite my best efforts to find as many series as I could. Cartoon Crave promotes some of these series on Twitter. Supporting indie animation is important to provide a viable alternative to often stifling studio system which ingests shows and spits them out. Likely the indie animation boom will continue as companies continue to cut animators and cancel shows.

Be right back I'm going to take a shower. If I'm brave enough I'll post a selfie afterwards because I'm desperate for validation. Keep an eye on my Tumblr while I'm gone. Also heads up I'm a trans woman who looks like this.

one of the most frustrating things is when you really crave to immerse yourself in a specific tone of media, but you don't have a particular genre, let alone show or film in mind, you just want a particular feeling
