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.

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.

UPDATE: Apparently the animation style is gonna be similar to Batman Ninja and Battle of the Super Sons, so don't get your hopes up.

/r/watchmen is currently in shambles.

Ehhhh... On one hand, we get another chance that they might do a great adaptation of Watchmen, but on the other hand every single time they touch the IP it pales in comparison to the original graphic novel. I kind of wish they'd leave it alone.

I dont know if it can still be found, but DC did The Watchman as a 'live' comic, where it was basically just the panels being read by different voice actors for the characters.

I think that was a great way to watch The Watchman, because it was basically the entire comic.

Yeah the Live Comic rocks. It's probably one of my favorite pieces of media in general.

It was apparently received well at Annecy. Maybe we'll finally get a proper adaptation?

One of the best received od all shows, however, was “Watchmen.” “This is a real leap-forward for us in our DC animation,” said Peter Giraldi, executive vice president, Alternative Programming, Warner Bros. Animation.
