Do it again AU (pilot part 1)

To start with, the only reason the PV looks as good as it does is because they had three minutes tops to impress investors on what ZagToon had to offer. If this was a 20 minute episode out of 26 others, the animation quality would've been stretched thin with how tight deadlines and budgets are.

I mean, the Anime community is getting a harsh reminder of this with One Punch Man...

Same with Miraculous Tokyo. Odds are the Stellar Force's main TV show will be a lot more constrained in their presentation over multiple episodes. That's just how it goes with animation production even when the production crew isn't being crunched to death for slave wages.

Frankly, I think Season Six's animation style is the best by far. The design changes are questionable but it avoids when Season 4 and 5 felt too… on-model if that makes sense. Less stiff and more moving even when they're standing still.

So I've just finished an hour-long interview with the creator of Only Human, a pilot episode David did back in 2001. This was a follow up to an interview I did a couple weeks ago with one of its developers.

I'll be doing some supplemental work with them in the coming weeks to make sure all my ducks are in a row, information-wise, before doing any solid writing on it. But after that, you can expect a long-form post on the origins of this obscure David Tennant project. All I can say is wow! I've learned SO much, and I'm excited to be able to share it! And if you're reading this but you have NO idea what project I'm talking about, you should go watch Only Human.

Flug: get it? Cuz...

Flug: it's the 'pilot'

I was stumped for what to do for this one, but then I got really inspired by @ninjakitten1699 's "Sugar Skullkin" she made back during the Ninjago Me Challenge!

(I suuuuck at drawing skeletons lol)
