Guest Funktion Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i agree guys. i mean i wanted to laugh at the jokes but the animation was much too shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 yeah and the soundeffects! it seems lower budget in general. it's incredibly odd viewing. it feels like a different show. a different show with futurama characters + humour. and it provided the lols. overall i'm happy with the episodes, but yes, deefinitely something odd and bit wrong about them.

Squee Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 One could hope that it's sort of two pilot episodes... but I'm afraid that's just wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i'm sure they'll eventually get a bigger budget once they bring in high ratings. the original reason why it was cancelled was because they had such a high production budget (all that fancy cgi ain't cheap) and disproportionate ratings.

Guest Donkey Rhubarb Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Just watched these 2 episodes. Laughed more at the 2nd one than the first. The fact that i still laugh at futurama must be a good thing. Wasn't enough zoidberg for my liking. The animation did look a bit shoddy at times. Overall im glad its back. Id rather watch this than new simpsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The first episode made me laugh more in ten minutes than any of the films managed (how is that!?). I'm really glad it's back, I love Futurama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 it's weird how sexually charged the second episode is. a bit meh on both, i don't think they're well crafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Funktion Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 oh, i was trolling then, who care about the animation lol? why does it matter anyway, i laughed a few times, but the characters are so stale by now that the amount of repeated jokes starting to crop up is ridiculous, its gone well simpsons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 ep1&2 leaked, won't talk too much about them. ep1 works well as the needed set-up episode. i liked the way it turned out. ep2 provided many a lol for me, in fact it might be a favorite of the entire series. the intro theme song has also been redone (contractual stuff?), no more amen break it's different. but the amen is still there. i liked ep1 alot, provided the lols. animation was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 i don't have access to old futurama to compare, but examples where the alleged bad animation is apparent I could see evidence of budget reduction from: -much less background activity -fewer characters (especially one-offs) -large part of both episodes taking place in simple, static environments as opposed to all over the place like in the past -less physical action overall than older episodes -cheap looking special effects (the static red sphere representing Bender overheating) ...makes it feel a bit less immersive, to me.

Guest Echo Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I didn't notice anything janky about the episodes except for the sex humor shit. As far as I can tell it's more Futurama, and I'm gonna continue watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 they were two average futurama episodes. the truly great ones could all be put onto one dvd anyways. I'm looking forward to more! ...makes it feel a bit less immersive, to me. also..... it's an animated sitcom. how immersive is it supposed to be?

o00o Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Season 6, Episode 3: Attack of the Killer App! Original Air Date—1 July 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root5 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 They both had the kind of plotline where you have no idea what's going on until it's explained at the end. I thought the second one pulled it off better than the first, but I've always been a sucker for Zap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chim Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Third episode is brilliant and very lulzy. But what's up with all the Leela fanservice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iamabe Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Attack of the Killer App was pretty good but this season doesnt compare to the originals yet IMO. lol @ fry watching 1 second hypnotoad video. I personally want less MOM plotlines and more zoidberg / hermes plotlines. that said I fucking love futurama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 this one had me lolling. although these references to "current" events never sit well with me. the futurama universe should be rich enough to have their own things used as plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yeah, the new one was pretty good, although maybe a little more scatalogical than I like my Futurama, and the incorporation of current events seems like a deliberate attempt for a show that's been off the radar for years to broadcast its continuing relevance. Definitely not bad as a single episode. That said, my DVR cut off the last few seconds of Fry's and Leela's tender moment, so I don't know how that resolved. Fuck you, Time Warner Cable.

GORDO Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I think these have a very different feel than older episodes. I can't quite say what, but i feel like this is a completely different show and it doesn't have the charm of the older stuff. still some lols, hopefully it'll get better and better.
