On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

i just listened to an audiobook version of this book & the cover art for it appeared to be ai generated so when i see this image i cant help but feel like its also ai generated.

For some reason, I get the feeling that this is going to be mediocre.

IMO an Animal Farm adaptation needs be different and based on the casting this seems more like a typical animated production.

I hope I am wrong.

your instincts are probably on because it seems they're casting stars not voice actors

Is just an overhyped kid's book, lol. Is exactly what it needs to be. I'm sure Seth is gonna be a bad ass Napoleon.

Getting banned by both American conservatives and the Soviets means you're doing something right, but it was never supposed to be that deep. The only thing that surprises kids when they develop some critical thought is the realization that the pigs acting like humans doesn't justify the existence of humans, it just means you need to make twice as much bacon.

This sounds like a disaster.

It’s a classic, but not exactly what the world needs right now. The Orwell adaptation he should have done is 1984.

Hell yeah. Love to look to the anticommunist snitch for guidance during a time when increasingly unhinged fascists are coalescing worldwide and dragging us all into climate apocalypse and WW3

Idk I think leave this guy in the past. He's a relic of the Cold War. We don't need that propaganda anymore. There's so many other, better dystopian fiction books out there that haven't received their "definitive" adaptations, plus other more interesting original concepts people can do. Besides, maybe what people really need right now is people believing a better world is possible rather than accepting a crap one.
