[Tron: Uprising]

[(Anonymous)]

I forgot all about this show being a thing that exists, I remember reading about it before it aired and everything. The art looks interesting...

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen it since I'm not really interested in Tron, but it's supposed to be pretty good.

[kamino_neko]

I didn't know it was a thing that existed at all...

Now I'm sorry I missed it, apparently.

[(Anonymous)]

There is still time. The episodes haven't finished airing. Go catch up!

[kamino_neko]

Don't currently have cable, not sure we had a channel it aired on even when we did.

[(Anonymous)]

I watch it if it's on for the sole purpose of having a laugh over the faces. Oh god, that animation, it is the best. Not even hatin'.

[inkmage]

Nngh. See, I love TRON, less because it's actually a good story and more because it is so damn fun of a universe to write in. And I wanted to watch this, I really did...

But I just can't get over the art style. My uncanny valley, this is squarely in it. :(

[(Anonymous)]

The character designs can be a problem -- 95% of the characters are hideously ugly. But it grows on you. And the facial movements are very well done.

[riddian]

Don't worry, I'm planning on watching it! I just... need to find it first. I'll probably buy it from iTunes or something, which will take me a while, but I'm gonna watch it someday. Because TRON.

[dinogrrl]

Aw man, I need to catch up on that. Probably will have to wait until it comes out on DVD, alas.

[penoftruthiness]

OH MY GOD I was so convinced this was Legend of Korra when I was reading the text and not looking that closely at the picture...

For anyone interested, cartoon brew did a series of posts on this show. The comments are interesting to read through, particularly on an industry level.

I realize this was very early on, but the commenters don't seem to get it. The story is definitely not shallow, nor are the characters. Come on, people, give it a chance.

[zombiemouse]

They're cancelling Tron too? Between this news and my mourning of Motorcity, I am terribly disappointed in Disney XD right now.

[(Anonymous)]

I love that show, but... could we please have a female character who is not a love interest? That would be great. This pairing wouldn't add anything to the show.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit thanks for reccing this! I'm on the fourth episode already.

Okay the art is VERY stylised, but frankly I've waded through worse in the anime genre. That and the holograms and details are very interesting.

Only bad things is there aren't many women, and those that do exist are love interests/eye candy.

HOWEVER I'm so pleased with the variety of race I'm seeing that I'm willing to overlook it. Seriously, in so many of these things you get one black character friend and then the mass of white characters in the background, I love looking over the crowd scenes and seeing Asian, South-Asian, Black, Latino faces there too. So many people forget to do that and it's just the little things that make it right.

(okay the black guy is still the best friend and the hero is still bland white-bread but it's the little steps!)

[(Anonymous)]

Yay! A convert! It starts out a bit slow, but you're in for some pretty sweet episodes.

The lack of female characters is problematic for me too (I don't see why some of the bit parts couldn't be played by women). But at least it passes the Bechdel test in one episode. Not much to boast about, but we gotta pick our battles. :(

There's a black man who's starting to become more important to the plot (You'll get to him). I hope we see more of him down the line.
