GOD DAMN IT CARTOON NETWORK!

[shintakie10]

...Meh. Didn't really get into either shows.

On the plus side, I was a huge fan of Teen Titans, and I don't really care that this Teen Titans Go! thing is going to be comedy based. So yeah, kind of excited for that. (Thought it wasn't successful enough, this is a pleasant surprise.)

Based off the blurbs I've seen of Teen Titans GO! its basically just goin to be an extended version of the animated shorts that played durin DC Nation which I'm...skeptical about.

Don't get me wrong. I love Teen Titans. Even with the more mature storylines of Young Justice I'd still rather watch old Teen Titans episodes (though a lot of that has to do with me bein a massive fanboi of Raven and Beast Boy to the point I wasted money on the Ravagers comics...multiple times. I'll never get that time back I wasted on those shitty comics). The animated shorts they did durin DC nation were all hilarious and were probably the best skits they had (I did really dig that watercolor one they did though and whatever the newest one is).

That bein said its one thing to make a funny skit that lasts all of a minute and a half. Its entirely anothing thing to stretch that skit over a 22 minute episode.

Edit -

Ya know whats the most frustratin thing about this? Its like CN wanted these shows canceled. They randomly and completely without warnin stopped showin new episodes in the middle of a season and then went directly from season 1 to season 2 without so much as a week off. Considerin the massive time jump that happened in Young Justice durin this time, it left me horribly confused to the point I thought I missed an episode. Even worse when they went on break again in the middle of Season 2, they gave absolutely no warnin to anyone.

Literally. No one knew this would happen. The people workin on the shows learned about it via press release. The press release happened THE DAY THE SHOWS WERE DELAYED. It happened so quickly and so abruptly that my friggin DVR continued to record Young Justice and Green Lantern for 3 weeks despite the recordin actually bein for that god awful How to Train Your Dragon cartoon.

I was excited because the season of both had just kicked off again... and now they do this. Modern cartoons are really suffering it seems, many can't seem to break past 2 seasons.

Young Justice
Green Lantern
Clone Wars
Archer
Slugterra
Friendship is Magic
Thundercats
Dragons: Riders of Berk
Avatar: Legend of Kor(r?)a

Those are the modern shows I have enjoyed watching and most have been or are being cancelled. I'm not a fan of adventure time as I find it a bit more wacky than I care for, I prefer my shows to have a long term plot structure.

Beware the Batman might be good but the new Teen Titans looks like rubbish, it already was comical with its anime design and tropes but now they want to focus on that even more? It'll be unbareable for me.

The only reason to really pop over to cartoon network anymore is for Toonami (here's hoping for another season of deadman wonderland)

I think Deadman wonderland ran outa funding several years ago so they had to cut the series very abruptly. So sadly there isn't going to be a second season.

OT: Yeah I started losing hope in Cartoon network when they stopped showing Courage the cowardly dog. I miss my nostalgia

Actually you'll be pleased to know there is still a chance that a 2nd season to come to fruition, given that the manga will soon start up again, once Jinsei Kataoka finishes her maternity leave. If the new manga gains interest, a second anime season could well be green-lit.

Hell I love DW so much I painted Shiro's face on my Fender Stratocaster, I'm sure there are more fans who would pay good money on new material.

Hopefully so. Deadman Wonderland is freakin' awesome. I was actually really dissapointed that it stopped where it did.
I mean, yeah, some of the plot points are painfully predictable, but the good chracterization and great premise totally make up for it! It was my main reason for sticking with the new Toonami!

...but yeah, I also agree with the OP. I hate that they're cancelling YJ and GL for two basterdized versions of older shows (Teen Titans Go's creators never even watched the old series, and yet another Batman cartoon. Yay.)
