Cartoons and albums thread?
This is the ITAOTS of cartoons.
>>52657909
no its not
>>52657913
excellent contribution
Family Guy is the Oasis of cartoons.
>>52657913
Why not? Both of them were made by an Scorpio.
Jeff Mangum, October 24th
Patrick McHale, November 17th.
No, I don't think it is.
Bee and Puppycat, or some shit, may be the ITAOTS.
OtGW, I'd guess it's some other lo-fi pop album, that is funny and doesn't take itself seriously. With a couple of ragtime and delta blues mixed in. Is there anything like that?
>>52657929
thanks anon, just here to do my bid
NGE - OK Computer
EoE - KID A
Prove me wrong.
What is the money store of cartoons?
>>52657991
This hasn't anything to do with cartoons, but I always though that Fight Club is a combination of OK Computer and Surfer Rosa.
>>52658051
>chinese cartoons arent cartoons just because they aren't made in america
>>52657960
In terms of its creators being unable to shut the fuck up for 5 minutes or in terms of it getting quoted at every frat party?
>>52657979
Beirut maybe? Still kind of feels like ITAOTS though. Bee & Puppycat is too light I think, Bee & Puppycat is the cartoon equivalent of girls who do ukulele covers of St. Vincent songs on YouTube.
>>52658093
??????????????????????????
>>52658121
oh I misread your post haha sorry man lol
>>52658093
Neon Genesis is japanese though
>>52658108
Both, also they're derivative and both went downhill after the first 2 albums/seasons.
Adventure Time is the Flaming Lips of cartoons IMO.
Welcome To The NHK is the korean cartoon representation of anyone that makes lolicore.
>>52658179
whoops forgot the pic I was gonna post.
>>52657971
i get it in terms of the artists but not the music.
jeff mangum himself is probably more the cartoon than nmh
>>52658179
I liken it to Anco. Similar amount of intuitive charisma, charm and progressive attitude.
>he actively cares about children's cartoons
>he thinks he can actually compare them to higher forms of art
>>52658279
Ay dude chill we're just having fun
>>52658180
this is so wrong
>>52658279
lol this guy has pictures of girls laughing on his computer xD just for such an event where he can post and people can praise him for contributing.
lol nigga thats how you know youre lonely when you gotta prep shit for an anime message board
>>52658180
Welcome to the NHK is pure slowcore, what the fuck anon
>It's all in my head, she said, "Morning after nightmare
>You're building a wall," she said, "Higher than the both of us
>So try living life instead of hiding in the bedroom
>Show me a smile and I'll promise not to leave you"
>>52657991
That's pretty good actually. In another thread someone posted that NGE is Lift Yr. Skinny Fists and EoE is F#A# Infinity and I think that fits just as well.
What's the Watership Down of albums?
The Money Store
![The-Drift-cover[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/XsV3Xeu.jpg "The-Drift-cover[1].jpg")
pic related is the musical embodiment of Serial Experiments Lain
>>52658585
True, although I'd be tempted to also say Pinkerton
>>52658047
maybe ghost in the shell?
or AKIRA
thought they arent american animations
>>52658400
>he doesn't realize there's such a thing as image search
>>52659119
LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS
>>52659147
whats the difference, and how is it not sad either way?
![Sheena-Kalk_Samen_Kuri_no_Hana[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/k0UQVWZ.jpg "Sheena-Kalk_Samen_Kuri_no_Hana[1].jpg")
pic related is FLCL, maybe Bungle but the humor in thats not really comparable.
>>52659119
>ghost in the shell
miles off
>Akira
spot on
Based off QotSA, the first Wolfmother album>>52658920
Nah, I'd say Pavement or Archers of Loaf
>>52659119
why do people say anime are not cartoons? i understand sometimes you want to make the distinction (like discerning waht belongs to /a/ or /co/), but when talking in general, anime are cartoons. Even the name "anime" is borrowed from the french "designs animé", literally cartoons.
The Simpsons is the Neil Young of cartoons
The Andrew Jackson Jihad of Cartoons is this short:
http://youtu.be/lGYFRzf2Xww
what would be superjail?
>>52659419
I think most of the people who are really assertive about it are just trolling, that or there are people who like Western cartoons but don't want to be associated with anime because of some weird stigma idk
Frank Zappa is the Frank Zappa of cartoons
>>52657909
Except over the garden wall is actually good, and not pretentious one bit
>>52658159
COMEDY
O
M
E
D
Y
>>52658230
I was jus going to post that.
Adventure Time feels like Sung Tongs to me, or STGSTV.
>>52658279
>doesn't realize the countless hours that went into making this
>doesn't realize it was made by passionate adults and then other adults simply marketed it to children
>implying things made with a child-like state-of-mind are automatically bad is basically saying every Elephant 6 album is shit
>laughing grilz
kill urself my man
>>52659488
Whitehouse
>>52657909
Yes, and Powerpuff Girls is Fun Trick Noisemaker of animation.
>>52659523
Well, even though it's not really pretentious it is more so than ITAOTS. When Mangum says "I love you Jesus Christ", he means it.
>>52657909
Except Over the Garden Wall is a quality production.
>>52659419
i didnt say they warent cartoons, i called them animations and i made a note that my suggestions warent american because i figure the topic for the thread is specifically for american cartoons
>>52659294
the ghost in the shell movie not the series
>>52659633
I was about to post the same thing, but for me Adventure Time it's closer to STGSTV imo. Or it can be Cosmogramma too.
Btw, I'm thinking that Uncle Grandpa could be Strawberry Jam or Merriweather Post Pavillion, if we still talking 'bout AnCo.
What would be Gravity Falls guys? I'm thinking of Weezer's Blue Album, but idk.
>>52659892
Why can animation of all nationality be talked about in the same conversation? They certainly inspire one another.
>>52660124
I feel like The Blue Album is the first half of Eva and Pinkerton is the second half. Gravity Falls is more like... some 80-ish ambivalent album I can't put my figure on.
swans=DBZ
>>52660124
Gravity Falls is "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We are Gone?"
>>52660157
lol are you assuming that im like not doing that?
i think you have the wrong impression anon. because i dont disagree with you.
>>52660267
A bunch of angry dudes, some possibly aliens, screaming and punching things for sessions that seem to go on for hours at a time
Perfect
NLDW
Gravity Falls would be Spoon
>>52660393
perfect
>>52660347
besides the filler that dbz had that series was still atleast 70% punching
>>52660338
I know, but I can tell someone has a problem with it.
>>52660347
lol
What would be the Tatami Galaxy of music?
What would be the Bakemonogatari of music?
What would be the Madoka of music?
What would be the K-ON of music?
What would be the Nichijou of music?
>>52660267
What would Dragonball be then? Something actually good, sure, but what?
>>52660796
What are even?
>>52660796
>K-On and Nichijou
Pretty much any upbeat power pop band would do.
>>52660796
>What would be the Bakemonogatari of music?
The money store
>What would be the Madoka of music?
Loveless
>What would be the K-ON of music?
>>4chan.org/mu/kpop
>What would be the Nichijou of music?
MBDTF
>>52660931
whats with the /mu/core in this thread?
>>52660931
Why would Bakemonogatari be The Money Store? I'd say it's far more attuned to MBDTF if we're talking /mu/core.
>>52658179
more like pic related
>>52660796
Tatami Galaxy, Pinkerton.
Bakemonogatari,You're Dead
Madoka, The Terror
K-ON, Celebration Rock
Nichijou, The Soft Bulletin
What would be the Homestar Runner of music?
>>52661021
Death Grips
They repeat retarded slogans and are hard to understand
>>52661059
doesnt fit at all
>>52661009
>Pinkerton
I always thought NHK fit better due to its more depressive nature and japanese subtheme
You're Dead! is a great comparison though.
>>52657909
No it's not. Flapjack is.
>>52660971
The money store is DG most accessible album while still being kind of obscure (monogatari being one of shafts more accessible series while still being head tilting shaft)
MBDTF is mainstream as fuck (apart from maybe the latter 1/3) and heavily commercialised but still really good.
>>52660960
I was assuming that was the point.
Spirited Away, or maybe just like Studio Ghibli in general
>>52661083
It fits with Tatami Galaxy, since both talk about teen struggles and shit.
>>52661097
Flapjack isn't sad/fucked up enough to be ITAOTS.
>>52660347
Post of 2015 so far
![cover_[plixid.com].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bXZDO76.jpg "cover_[plixid.com].jpg")
>>52661113
>Spirited Away
I actually think it fits more with this though
>>52661113
Ys.
>>52660124
Uncle Grandpa is definitely a Weird Al album
>>52657979
>Bee and Puppycat, or some shit, may be the ITAOTS.
what the fuck are you smoking
>>52657909
I love OTGW so much
The duel music in Utena strongly reminds me of magma for some reason.
>>52661238
>Flapjack isn't sad/fucked up enough
Have you ever fucking watched Flapjack? The entire show is full of fucked up visuals and concepts. One of the main characters is a fucking quadriplegic.
>>52659523
>not pretentious one bit
wirt is extremely pretentious
>>52657979
Bee and Puppycat is LP1. Everybody got excited for it and it turned out to be a big fat nothing. Both are also tumblr-core shit so it fits well.
>>52660124
gravity falls here
>>52661408
I have, but all that stuff is played for laughs. Every one in OTGW is super sad or messed up in a very surreal and abstract fantasy world but all their problems are based around very real emotional dilemmas. Not to mention this fantasy world is based in turn-of-the-century America. Sounds like ITAOTS to me.
>>52661450
You got it
>>52661448
that's a perfect comparison
>>52657991
Can't. I never thought of NGE as OK Computer, but EoE definitely fits with Kid A.
20th Century Boys is the T. Rex of cartoons
>>52661526
>>52661526
>>52661526
>>52661526
sounds more like jeff mangum than itaots
Captain Beefheart
What is the Courage The Cowardly Dog of music?
>>52661859
Spiderland
>>52661859
Watamote
no game no life

>>52657991
It works. I've always thought of EoE as a cross between Mount Eerie and Pinkerton.
>>52661334
Spice and Wolf
>>52658279
>Grillz laff at you for watching cartoons
>They go home and watch Geordie Shore and Hollyhoaks
What's the Foster's Home of music? That show is fucking god-tier
>>52662815
Maybe Merriweather?
>>52662854
why is everyone stuck on anco and /mu/core
![BIG[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/OJBdxwt.jpg "BIG[1].jpg")
>>52662815
>>52662888
Despite what is /mu/core and not, ANCO has a few good albums. And Merriweather does fit Fosters imo
What is the Cat Soup of music?
>>52662932
Definitely.
>>52662936
apparently it fits every american cartoon in this thread
>>52662932
>tfw havent gotten into of montreal yet
are they a homosexual band?
>>52662815
Black Kids
They Might Be Giants
>>52663028
thats cuz cartoons are so wacky :^)
>>52659098
Not gonna lie, you're making me want to listen to this now and finish Lain.
>>52659652
>is basically saying every Elephant 6 album is shit
it is though, you retarded child
What's the Rick And Morty of music, both in terms of atmosphere/feel and fanbase?
What's the Beastie Boys of cartoons?
>>52661021
Probably Neil Cicierega. That might be cheating though.
Peanuts
think about it
>>52663157
Ed, Edd n Eddy = Beastie Boys
>>52663065
>are they a homosexual band?
does it matter? anyway, nope, not until Skeletal Lamping which is the most homo record I've heard in my life
>>52663258
I am wondering, bitch
>>52657909
actually over the garden wall is the selling england by the pound of cartoons
>>52663393
Holy shit this is the perfect comparison
>>52663065
The Scissor Sisters, they are all gay/lesbians
What is the musical equivalent of The Problem Solverz?
no joking plz
>>52663442
odd future
>>52663462
...
Huh, that actually kinda fits
>>52663442
iwrestledabearonce
>>52663442
Gobby
>>52663157
Rick and Morty is Death Grips
squidbillies would be bob log iii
>>52663554
Rick and Morty is Deltron 3030. We had this thread a while ago and the dude who posted Deltron ended up with 333333 at the end of his post. I'd post the screenshot if I could find it.
>>52663554
DG and NMH are the musical equivalents of everything according to /mu/ because everyone here listens to them
>>52663442
this show always made me think of the unicorns
>>52663100
You should, both are great.
>>52663345
ok, sorry, bitch
I'm going to go ahead and post this...
Johnny Test is Bush.
It was nice for the first bit (season 1, Sixteen Stone), then it kept going and it became the same exact shit over and over again and you just wanted it to stop, but it never would. It was already an obvious rip off of something better (Dexter's Lab, Nirvana), but it just kept living for who knows why.
Unless you fuckers can think of a better comparison...
What's the musical equivalent to Home Movies?
Besides They Might Be Giants.
>>52663442
i always thought anco
>>52663741
nah, johnny test is nickelback
>>52663768
STOP IT. EVERYTHING CANNOT BE AN ANCO ALBUM. HOLY SHIT. LISTEN TO SOME OTHER MUSICIANS FOR A CHANGE.
>>52663790
I'd have said that if Nickelback ever did something good. :^)
>>52663806
fuckin right?
like wtf /mu/? youd figure with the amount of music yall listen to youd have more to contribute that animal collective. do yall even go past /mu/core?
this is the johnny test of music
>>52663790
>>52663741
I get that Johnny Test is shit, but it's bright and wannabe-zany and SO RADICAL in that childish way. Nickelback is dirty, ugly, white trash music. There are like, no similarities other than the poor quality. Well, that and they're both transparent imitations of superior things that came before.
>>52663884
/mu/ never actually /talks/ about music beyond making recs and posting lists and charts and whatever. Drawing parallels in themes between music and animation, and finding aesthetic similarities between the two is honestly well beyond /mu/'s abilities. No real analysis or criticism (in the actual critical sense) happens here.
>>52663924
exactly
>>52664018
i know it to be true anon
its just sad, this isnt even a serious discussion but people are having the hardest time with even this. like really? anco? some of you /mu/tants are dumb as hell.
>>52663442
Saint Pepsi
>>52663248
Oh shit, spot on.
>>52663248
i dont get beastie boys from ed edd n eddy, just the fact that theres 3 in both. but thats it
>>52663120
It's not. It's genius you hyper-edgy insecure twat. I experience art to feel big or grown-up, I experience it to feel connected with myself and others. Elephant 6 is the epitome of this.
>>52664169
they both have that DGAF "we think we're cooler than we actually are" thing going on. both kinda snotty suburban white boy
double-d has a pseudo-hiphop nickname and style
there are probably more similarities if I thought about it
>>52664268
* I DON'T experience art to feel big or grown-up, I experience it to feel connected with myself and others.
Dexter's Laboratory = DEVO
Powerpuff Girls = Shonen Knife
I'm trying really hard to think of a good one for Billy and Mandy, I know there's gotta be a perfect one for it out there.
What would be the musical equivalent of the greatest cartoon running at the moment, which is pic related?
>>52664620
dandelion gum?
Album for Archer?
