    Have we really moved past the "Animation is for kids" stigma?

    I'm going to have to be the third person to jump on the "Yeah, no" bandwagon. While there is naturally going to be overlap in fandoms, I think the notion that My Little Pony can be considered a major game changer has lost more and more weight as time goes on. MLP is a game-changer in the sense...

    Have we really moved past the "Animation is for kids" stigma?

    That's less older audiences disliking certain styles and more the idea that many tweens and young teenagers have about needing to shun everything they liked as kids in order to be seen as mature by their peers. Though the notion of "I'm too mature and awesome to watch cartoons anymore, now that...

    All regions are shutting down their Club Nintendo service if they still have one, with NoA looking like the only one offering something special for the last few months (called customer service earlier, and they confirmed that NoA will be putting up some more digital and physical rewards in...

    More impactful: Jem and the Holograms or original Sailor Moon

    A fad that Hasbro is desperately trying to revive, yes.

    More impactful: Jem and the Holograms or original Sailor Moon

    Ditto. Even ignoring what the franchise has done to influence the direction shoujo material went back in its country for a good number of years, Sailor Moon is one of the shows that define the 90s anime market and its growth in the West. Sailor Moon was one of the first Japanese cartoons I can...

    "Star vs the Forces of Evil" Series Talkback

    Wow, Disney TVA is on a roll. I loved these first two episodes, and there was rarely a moment where I wasn't either smiling or laughing. Will definitely be keeping track of this show.

    Can Cartoon Network market a female protagonist to boys?

    Oh, most certainly the move is more about an overall shift away from animation on Disney Channel. But I also feel like it plays into the idea executives have that boys keep an interest in cartoons longer than girls. And in any case, its mates on that network are programs like Wander Over Yonder...

    Can Cartoon Network market a female protagonist to boys?

    "Can Cartoon Network market a female protagonist to boys?" Considering that one of their biggest successes in their 20+ year history was The Powerpuff Girls, a show with three kindergarten-aged girls as protagonists that received equal ratings across both genders, I'd say yes. And I'll be...

    Have we really moved past the "Animation is for kids" stigma?

    The short answer? No. The long answer is that while it feels like we're edging out of the Animation Age Ghetto more and more, at the end of the day, animation will probably remain as a niche form of entertainment for the foreseeable future. Despite more children growing up with shows like Steven...

    CN Ratings Thread: Part 4

    ...If none of the execs can convince Synder that they should renew this show, then I'll be majorly pissed. Each episode was around a million...I think that's pretty good.

    CN Schedule: June 1 - 7, 2009

    ...No. Just no. I don't want my 60s/retro action awesomeness on the same block as a reality show.

    Shows you'd like to see CN acquire

    ...That show is a DC Original Series, so CN can't possibly pick it up.

    The End

    It is the final episode/movie of the series. The Eds leaving the cul-de-sac on a search for Eddy's older brother is sure to be a hilarious and dramatic ride.

    Chowder - "Kid Shnitzel" - Talkback [6/4]

    From my point of view, Mung Daal was just going along with it. I thought it was obvious that he wanted to convince both of them to act their age. Anyway, other than the "Protect you Business!" line, the episode fell flat. I have to say the best episode of this week was either "Won Ton Bombs" or...
