Hiiiii hi!!! This AU is actually still completely brain rotting me :)
If everyone wants to cry, I've decided that the characterization fits best with the SCU versions of the Sonic characters, so we're traumatizing him by blowing up his dad! (I'm genuinely so sorry)
Bonus father-son bonding! Punch that guy in the face!!
Stuff I Watched in 2024 – Godspeed (Cartoon Pilot):
What is it?
Godspeed is a 30 min pilot that was Kickstarted by the guy who made Final Space, an absolutely wonderful show which is sadly now lost media (please consider pirating it from somewhere if you get the chance). It's about a young woman named Iris and her struggles to survive on a post-apocalyptic earth after any hope for rescue has long since gone.
Things of Note:
Available for free on YouTube so it's a real easy watch. I watched it on BluRay though because I helped fund it (Yes, my name is in the credits somewhere).
Content warning for some pretty bleak subject matter including grief and suicide. It's handled well for what it's worth.
I'm both really happy that Olan Rogers got this done and really impressed at how quick the turnaround was.
I really think that Final Space fans will like this one. It feels a lot like that show did in it's more serious moments.
Animation is a bit choppy but the colors are very nice and it's got a good atmosphere. I suspect a full show would look phenomenal.
You don't get much time with the characters but what you do get is fairly impactful.
It's a bit meh in the humor department, which is weird for an Olan Rogers deal, but humor is barely a focus so who cares. I can see a full show developing this aspect (specifically the robot friend) into something pretty good.
My biggest complaint is actually the DVD menu music. It's only ten seconds long which meant it looped in a very obvious way a LOT before I actually started the thing. Such a weird and obvious oversight.
No, you don't understand. I ~really~ think you will enjoy this if you were a fan of Final Space.
Final Verdict:
A solid start to what could be a pretty engaging show. I really want this one to succeed.
Stuff I've watched so far:
Godspeed
Orion and the Dark.
Day Job

I actually have a bunch of these I've been putting off doing so I'm going to try and just hammer them out over the next few days. Apologies in advance for people who are just here for the Peanuts stuff.
As always, let me know if there's anything particularly good out in the animation world that I should see. I'm always looking for new stuff to watch.
Following his resurrection, the Lord Commander attempts to get some information on Mooncake’s whereabouts from Avocato, forcing him to relive his dark past of days serving under his former boss as Quinn tries to hide her sickness from Gary while Bolo and Mooncake battle Oreskis. “The Ventrexian” premiered on this day, 3 Years Ago.
I finished this during the week, but since I haven't been able to get English voices, I hadn't uploaded it. Anyway, I did it in Spanish! (because it's my main language hehe) It was fun to work with audio, but I don't think I'll do it again, too much work for my lazy self.
If I manage to get English voices, I'll upload it in that version, I still have faithHHHH
