Some Animated Shows Coming Out This Year

Hello there animation fans I know that this post isn't exactly topical right now since were know where near the start of the year but since i'm writing this on my birthday i can do whatever i like so here are some animated shows that are coming out this year and some of them are shows i'm really excited for.

Our Cartoon President

I never knew about this show when i started this list / post but after seeing the trailer I know cannot wait for February 11th if you want to know who there spoofing exactly all you need do is look at this image plus it's being produced by Stephen Colbert who also created the show but if you cannot wait until then the episode will be online on January 28th.

ReBoot: The Guardian Code

I admit to knowing nothing about this show but based on the images that i've seen the series does look like something that i would be into there's pretty much nothing released about the show when it comes to air dates the only bit of info i can find is that it will air in February on Netflix but sometime sooner on YTV.

The Adventures of Kid Danger

Nickelodeon has been killing it recently when it comes to animation but this is something nobody wanted and something nobody asked for in case you don't know this show is a spin-off of Henry Danger a live action comedy and it just looks bad.

Watership Down

This show is being made by the BBC and i'm guessing will air in the UK on CBBC if not one of the main BBC channels and it will on Netflix in America this show has a huge budget of £20 million and i've read the cast list it reads like a who's who of cinema it's a really impressive cast list.

Big City Greens

Pretty much the only thing that's known about this show is the plot which reads The series will focus on Cricket Green a mischievous but optimistic country boy who moves to the big city along with his family. This honestly doesn't look that bad Disney have been killing it recently with there animated shows so this one does have potential to be great.

Close Enough

Much like alot of the shows i've mentioned there's next to nothing released about this show the only thing released is something we all know and that's the fact it's being made by J. G. Quintel who is also doing one of the voices.

Final Space

This show looks funny as heck and that's the best way I can describe how excited i am for this show even now i'm struggling to write more about this show that's how good it truly looks and i cannot wait for it to start on February 26th. 

Anime-Gataris Dubbed Review

Anime fans another dubbed show has finished airing and this is one that I hope gets a season 2 because of how good it is and it's also a show where I watched the first episode subbed before the dub was announced but i'm choosing to review the dub because I forgot about the show when the subtitles were out.

So then the plot of the show is the anime centers on Minoa Asagaya, a new high school student in Sakaneko Private High School. Despite being a novice to anime Minoa's classmate Arisu Kamiigusa invites her to make an "anime research club" at school. Through conversations with her classmate Miko Kouenji, as well as various anime-loving upperclassmen Minoa gradually gets hooked on anime. While they stand against the student council's continuous efforts to disband their club and they ignore the impending end of the world they talk about anime whether in Akiba or in real-life "sacred place" anime settings or the hot springs. Now i don't know if you noticed it or not but the plot summery mentions something about the end of the world and that's where things get insane i'm not even sure if i can tell you what happens or not but the show's worth it just for the final episodes alone.

The dub was done by Funimation and it stars Alison Viktorin as Arisu Kamiigusa , Dawn M. Bennett as Minoa Asagaya ,Elizabeth Maxwell as Miko Koenji ,Alejandro Saab as Kai Musashikai ,Brad Smeaton as Neko-sempai ,Cris George as Masato Gomon ,Felecia Angelle as Erika Aoyama ,J. Michael Tatum as Toru Ropponogi ,Jamie Marchi as Tsubaki Akabane ,Jeannie Tirado as Ayame Ozaki , Jordan Dash Cruz as Kouki "Aurora" Nakano , Kristen McGuire as Yui Obata ,Megan Shipman as Matsuri Toda , Trina Nishimura as Bei Bei Yang ,Katelyn Barr as Maya Asagaya , Kyle Phillips as Shugo Asagaya and finally Natalie Hoover as Ai Asagawa. I want you all to know that is every single listed actor on the show and as is to be expected from a Funimation dub the dub cast are actually really freaking good and all of the characters actually sound like how you think they would.

I have to say that even tho the series does get really meta near the end it kinda has that same meta humor all throughout the series and i think by taking that approach it allows them to explain anime better to non anime fans or people who don't watch anime that often all though i will say the references do get a bit much.

The actual production was handled by DMM Productions while Wao World handled the actual animation and given that Wao have worked on things such as Accel World , Beezelbub , Btoom and many many many many more I have to say that for their first time being in charge of the animation they did a really good job on all the shows i've just mentioned they were either doing in between stuff or 2nd Key Animation work so it's nice to see that when they have the chance to really prove them selfs in the industry that they can actually step up and do a good job.

Also regarding the story the show is for the most part pretty self contained apart from episode 8 on wards where you need to have seen the previous episodes to fully get whats going on but it's still interesting enough to keep you coming back for more.

Now as you might have guessed by the title or the plot summery the show is all about anime fans and i like the fact that the show actually does a good job of painting anime fans in a positive light since if this show was made America all of the main cast would be cast as the typical loser. In this show however we get to see what die hard anime fans enjoy doing like visiting locations from shows they watch or staying up late to watch the latest episode heck there's even an entire episode about anime conventions.

I touched on it briefly in my last point but I want to go into more detail here because again if this show was made in the west in would have all the cast be the same typical loser / nerd / geek character and that would be it but in this show however it goes almost out of it's way to give the main cast their own personalities Minoa is the newbie who just wants to fit in, Arisu is the rich girl who at first thinks money will solve everything on the other side of that coin we have Miko is a light novel reader who's not afraid to tell Arisu of , Erika is the groups leader and like Kai can give an impassioned speech when called upon now i'm not going to mention Nakano because of spoilers but even he has some character.

The opening theme is done Garnidelia and is called Aikotoba and I have to say that I actually really do like the opening theme for me it sets the mood for the series perfectly it's a fun little number but what i found most interesting is who's performing the ending theme GATALIS who consist of the Japanese voice actors for Minao , Miko and Arisu all do the ending and that was something i never knew.

Overall i'd say that this show was an underrated and hidden gem and it's worth checking out and if you want to get someone into anime this is the perfect series for me the show gets a solid 7.5 out of 10.
