So is Genndy Tartakovsky a weeb?
>>77613486
goddamn i loved this episode
>>77613486
Name a western animator who isn't. Hell, even Walt Disney told Osamu Tezuka that he hoped to one day make something as good as Astro Boy.
>>77613510
Who didn't?
GO DEXTER'S FAMILY GO!
>>77613486
>Is the guy who made a show about an nigh-unbeatable honorable samurai with a million times folded steel katana and another show that was about giant mecha fighting weekly kaiju attacks a weeb?
What the fuck do you think OP?
>>77613567
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera?
>>77613567
yeah, i bet disney could appreciate the underlying racism presented by astro-boy. the real question is
>did tezuka thank disney for being his inspiration to make astro-boy?
>>77613601
um, the chan clan is a thing, but they're chinese. as would be hong-kong phooey.. so maybe?
>>77613486
Thousand times better than this...
So that's like a Mazinger and some Macross shit, right?
>>77613486
>is the guy who made samurai jack and symbionic titan a weeaboo
Naaah what could make you think such silly things
>>77613486
He's the biggest fucking weeb, and we love him for it
>>77613622
That was amazing though.
Did people not like him?
How do you even need to ask that question

>>77613630
Maybe
>>77613486
He made a cartoon about a samurai fighting robots and a giant mecha show.
>>77613486
Who isn't a weeb in this century?
![hqdefault[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/C6h8ubB.jpg "hqdefault[2].jpg")
I think Star Wars Clone Wars is the only cartoon he made that didn't have some Japanese references
>>77613685
I guess it could also be inspired by Getter Robo.
>>77613698
>/tv/
and as a fierce counterbalance to those present there
>/g/
>>77613630
The head looks a bit like Voltes V.
>>77613718
Since Star Wars inherently has japanese influences I think it still counts.
>>77613567
>he hoped to one day make something as good as Astro Boy
That had to be false modesty. I like Astro Boy and all, but it really doesn't compare to the likes of Fantasia and Pinocchio.
>>77613718
>jedi saber fights aren't ripped from samurai movies.
>lucas didn't draw content from the hidden fortress
ok. sure.
![latest[5].png](https://i.imgur.com/3pHdS7e.png "latest[5].png")
>>77613613
Chan Clan was a revival of Charlie Chan from the 1930's and Hong Kong Phooey was simply a product of its time. So I guess that anon's right.
>>77613727
The body itself reminds me of Mazinger, but it could be drawing inspiration from a few different things.
>>77613764
>charlie chan was a white guy
thanks racist past. way to make us look good.

how could there ever be doubt? it even had the bling sound
>>77613685

Clone Wars was also the show where the Jedi were suddenly Super Saiyans
>>77614125
never watched it to know. but ok.
Ilana is cute. Cute!
>>77614211
she was a SLUT and got turned into a General's Pet after the series
Lance was castrated and made to watch as a cupbearer\cocksucker
Damn. DL was so good. I think my favorite bit was when Dexter was trying to sleep and DeeDee was loundly tiptoeing out the room

>>77613664
The episode itself wasn't good
Which is expected from a late season Dexter episode
>>77613486
What episode is this?
>>77614761
Last but not Beast
>>77613718
I refuse to believe that episode of PPG wasn't somehow inspired by Ultraman
>>77613798
You were never good to begin with
>>77613741
What if Walt was just overly critical of himself?
>>77613664
They didn't get the Akira reference and just saw a poor guy being atrociously mutated.
>>77613567
>Name a western animator who isn't.
/co/, apparently.
Oh wait. /co/ has neither a job nor say on this matters.

>>77613601
Well shit, they imitate cheap japanese animation (not design).
>>77613720
No there's an older giant red conehead mecha. Can't remember the name.
>>77613718
What's the Japanese influence of the Hotel Transylvania movies?
>>77614674
please stop reminding me that PPGZ existed
>>77615060
Combattler? Red Baron? Voltes V?
>>77613601
One of the most prominent figures in that studio was a Japanese-American so..
>>77615193
The moe as fuck vampire girl?
>>77614157
People keep pretending that one episode where Mace Windu destroys an entire army of Super Battle Droids with his bare hands and 1v1s a piledriver the size of several skyscrapers to be what literally happened and not the kid that's watching embellishing it like it implies.
Other than Grievous rekting that group of Jedi Masters (which is debatable) the rest is relatively subdued. Like usual Samurai Jack-tier fare.
figure i bring this up for the hell of it but gipsy danger showed up in shin mazinger zero when they summon the spirits of mecha
>>77613486
Well, Russia is near to Japan. And Tartakovsky is russian, so...
>>77613670
That's probably an Aliens reference.
>>77616021
>Assumed that Minverva had finally found a winning scenario, even though Kouji became a cyborg.
>Then vs Ankoku Daishogun happens and just about everyone gets murdered.
>Even in the Grendaizer verse shit goes wrong.
Last I remember, I heard Z-Hen Mazinger was going to fight Zero Mode Mazinger. I really wish the manga had some more translations
>>77613718
>I think Star Wars Clone Wars is the only cartoon he made that didn't have some Japanese references
The term "Jedi" specifically comes from "Sengoku Jidai" period in Japan.
>>77615924
You're also forgetting the part where Yoda and Mace wreck the shit out of the droid invasion of Coruscant like using the force to take out landing ships, push their droids back inside or lift like 50 Droidekas into the air for clone ships to blow up.
>>77613486

>>77613845
lewds when?
>>77616589
oh right fuk
I honestly forgot most of season 2 other than Anakin's cave painting drug trip
tho in fairness mace and yoda are literally the two strongest jedi in the universe at that point and the power of teamwork has always been a big jedi thing

>>77613893
Most under-appreciated episode in history.
>>77614211
I loved her design
>>77613718
Clone Wars did a riff on Seven Samurai, and Jedi are basically Samurai/Shaolin Monks, so not really.
>>77622404
Genndy wasn't involved on the CG show.
>>77622190
Is Ego Trip underappreciated? I always thought it was the shit.
>>77622430
The Clone wars was the CG one
Clone Wars is the 2d one anon-kun
>>77622473
And The Clone Wars was the show with the episode dedicated to a Seven Samurai homage.
>>77622460
No one ever talks about it so I assume people don't like it as much.
>>77622128
I know how you feel, but with >>77613685
instead, ever since I first saw the episode.

Dude it's ok if it's goofily over the top by Star Wars standards.
That's why it's still fun to watch.
>>77623328
I wasn't saying the over the topness was BAD by any stretch, I quite enjoy it for what it was.
Just that it was (as I incorrectly remembered) only in two relatively excusable points. Which it was, just only for the first 'season'.
>>77613601
They attempted something anime with Gatchaman before.
>>77613486
Wasn't Lance from Sym Bionic Titan literatly an american version of the Macross protagonist?
>>77625047
No. He was totally Hayato Jin from Getter Robo.
>>77613486
I'm suddenly reminded that Megas XLR referenced fucking Captain Harlock of all things.
>>77625598
Is that Yamcha?
>>77613845
Was that really the teacher? I completely forgot about this episode.
I'd like to try drawing her, need a little break from drawing waitress Midge.
>>77625047
Well, he never got distracted from battle by turning into a swimsuit competition, so no.
>>77629066
Yep. She didn't get to do much unfortunately. Dexter lusted for her and she reprimanded Dexter and the Jap kids for doing giant robot shit at school. Then when Badaxtra was unleashed, she and the kids fled.
>>77613486
I'm only now noticing how distinct Genndy's style actually is. When I saw these two, I immediately thought of SBT
>>77616640
Episode?
>>77613486
Woah, I didn't know what this was At the time, but now, it feels even more awesome.
>>77630870
Doesn't exist
>>77613486
Are those the two guys from Gundam Wing?
>>77618524
Iwao Takamoto was born in Los Angeles and lived in America his entire life. He was only Japanese-American, and never watched any anime.
>>77614759
It's funny because Chris Savino is making The Loud House now which everyone loves

>did tezuka thank disney for being his inspiration to make astro-boy?
He did to Carl Barks, at least.
>>77622891
>Ilana will never have her 50's romance high school musical
>>77613486
He loved mecha anime, then again, who wouldn't?
>>77635848
Holy shit you're right
>>77613486
Kind of broke my image of the show's canon, and pandered to a childlike infatuation with Japan because of anime. Of course Dexter has a giant robot, but random Japanese kids?
>>77613718
Obi-Wan does the Akira motorcycle shot in one scene
>>77638531
Episode from OP is the one where Dexter goes to Japan as a foreign exchange student and accidentally unleashes a kaiju
>>77613486
I do love that he went with the Gatchaman inspired outfit for the one kid
>>77613630
No. That's closer to like Reideen or one of the mechs from the Romance Trilogy.
Other one is totally Valkyrie, though.
>>77613685
>The jet mech looks totally different than the toy
Was this to avoid having to deal with HG?
![Hayato[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/zthaPgk.jpg "Hayato[1].jpg")
>>77635848
No. Kid on the left is a 70s super pilot. You can tell from the outfit. Maybe its Hayato Jin. I feel like I recognize elements of the outfit, but I can't put my finger on it right now.
Kid on the right is a real pilot, so you're closer there. I think he might be an amalgam of Kamille and Hikaru, maybe.
>>77613670
I fucking loved that robot
>>77616685
she is a basic, pink haired anime lady when its all said and done
there are billions of them
>>77640797
But anon doesn't want a basic pink haired anime lady. Anon wants Dexter's Laboratory's pseudo-anime pink haired lady.
>>77620689
On 4chan you're either a weeb or a xenophobe that's afraid of cute anime girls
>>77641878
this desu
>>77618548
>>77613601
obviously anime was the influence for the quality of their animation
>>77644462
It's one thing about filtering words by why choose such an outdated meme?
>>77640318
I'd say the Kid on the right is closer to your typical 80s mecha pilot.
Where Real Types were heavily popularized.
>>77613486
>>77638477
>>77640318
>>77635848
Yeah, the one on the left is Trowa and Heero is on the right.
Dexter should be able to take on both of them at once and survive with minimal damage. They're total pushovers.
>>77645538
Literally Iori Yagami on the left
>>77613486
Not really.
>>77645538
>I've never watched classic mecha anime
>>77644851
Yeah definitely.
>>77621305

You are comparing motion pictures to a comic. desu a lot of themes in Astro Boy are great.

What if Naruto and Sakura combined?
>>77652681
Dunno, what?
>>77613685
Wait is that supposed to be Idion on the left
>>77652899
nah man that's a Brave Raideen throwback for sure, it's one of the earliest super robot shows released in english. Hawaii got it on TV even though it never touched the mainland, though it showed up in the Shogun Warriors toy line. Gendy knows his shit.
>>77653834
>>77613601
not sure if your'e still here but scooby doo characters were designed by a Japanese dude
>>77613718
>that whole episode
I remember giggling like an idiot when this episode first aired and when the Dynamo launched, it did the Ultraman transformation sequence.
>>77640318
it's gatchaman, the striped bellbottoms are pretty noticable as is the giant belt but it's the numbered shirt that's the give away
The giant robot episodes in Dexter's Lab and PPG were my favorite episodes. Even in the shitty post-Tartakovsky season, my favorite episode was the one where a space monster comes to Earth to consume all the energy made by a wind farm and Dexter's robot has to save the day.
>>77652681
Sakura is shit and has no figure.
>>77654077
Is this picture by Alex Ross?
>>77655262
Yeah he did a whole bunch of gatchaman pictures that got used for the Battle of the Planets DVDs

His Katze is good, though.

>>77624999
You mean Blue Falcon?
>>77656247
I feel like the issue was that he kept some of the general anime-ish facial features, namely the eyes and in his style it's just really weird and kind of unnerving.
>>77649493

>That filename
What the FUCK
>>77615924
God, I loved those shorts, especially that one you are talking about Grievous' first appearance. Scared and fascinated me as a kid, but when I went to see his live-film version, I was disappointed.
Hell, the shorts were better than the third film. https://youtu.be/WIj7gIDFDe4
>>77625794
There's also a blatant Mazinger Z lookalike that's voiced by Peter Cullen (with a nemesis voiced by Frank Welker).
>>77656247
Better than his Archie cover at least
is there any anime references in his movies?
>>77646797
I don't know what you're talking about.Yang would have been another acceptable answer.

His shows aren't necessarily limited to the Japs when it comes to pop culture, he also has a lot of blaxploitation and hip hop references in his shows
Chicks dig giant robots
>>77662087
Season 3 when?
>>77662104
never
>>77662033
action hank was more of a MR.T homage
I really wish shows today are given more intellectual liberties. So they can produce episodes like this again without it being over the top or just a complete mockery.
>>77635848
Goddamn you, the opening song is stuck in my head again.
>>77662104
I think its really sad that Kaiju Combat seems to be crashing and burning. I think they had talked to the Megas guys about a potential guest character spot down the line.
>>77663692

Kinda looks more like a transformer, son.
>>77644784
Because Hiro is a newfag?
>>77665667
No, it's a reference to Macross because Macross popularized the smaller more realistic robot trend back in 82, two years before Transformers even was a thing.
