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.

For those that don't know, Medusa was supposed to be an animated film retelling of the classic myth. It was unfortunately cancelled by Sony in 2019. This is a pencil test by legendary animator James Baxter.

That’s a super cute clip, I like the idea that the snakes are friends but also a major hassle.

Shame it got canceled. I’d totally have watched it.

Reminds me of a still image Medusa video I've seen some time ago. Thinking back to it I feel like I didn't really understand the story completely. MEDUSA - The Stone Kingdom (youtube link)

edit: Apparently it also has a prequel MEDUSA - The Prequel (youtube link)
