So a lot of people have been asking me about what the difference between a Kicktoon is and a non-Kicktoon indie web cartoon, so I decided to make an update definition that would basically serve as my swan song for my big anti-kicktoon post in an attempt to try and make peace with the Kicktoon Community (except for Saberspark and Cellspex, they can both eat sh!t):

Lowkey this video gave me a new perspective. This part talks about how Asha isn’t at fault for King Magnifico’s actions, and while I’ve always agreed with that statement, I’ve also taken into consideration that her actions alone give zero consequences in the movie.

This only a clip of it because this creator says other stuff but it’s called “Every 2023 Animated Film Ranked: Worst to Best” uploaded by CellSpex.

I have been following @cellspex for like. YEARS, now…and to know that she likes my stuff…I just…I don’t even know if this is really her. But if it if…excuse me, I need to go mentally implode.

So I went back to the cellspex video where she mentioned BL having consensual issues, and I was surprised to find that her segment on Doukyusei had three different pretty racist comments about BL in there all in a short amount of time, the third one literally being “congrats, Japan, you’re learning” with a deadpan passive aggressive delivery of “learning”. Like what the hell? How did I not hear that the first time?

That thing she said was one of the main things that made me just sort of assume BL had serious consent issues now that I think about it, and I didn’t even remember it correctly and just somehow forgot the blatant racism. I guess that’s just what happens when the last time you watched something was like 4 years ago.

Also I didn’t even realize that she literally said Doukyusei was one of the only BL to have no consent issues. Like just casually flaunting her shallow understanding of this very wide genre, and also insisting that BL is a japanese thing even though I mostly know the label from american webtoons that use the classification.

I’m glad I barely watched her content in the first place.

It's unfortunately common. And in a long video, one doesn't always notice everything, especially on a single viewing.

Hey yall, I have a question, is it wrong that I think animation (as a cultural, not as an art form or medium) is toxic? I ask this because of the way animation fans and small-scale animators/cartoonists such as Cellspex and Saberspark act. They loathe works that I think are masterpieces like Wish and Lightyear, yet love poorly written stuff like Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, and The Loud House SOLEY because of their technical achievements, as well as blind worshiping Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio within a nanosecond of its announcement based on what they heard of it. I think animation as a culture and community has become extremely toxic and hostile towards others as a result of years of disrespect for groups like the Academy to the point where they harass people who don’t share the same opinions as them. I’m not saying all people in the community are like this (hell, I’ve even seen some people who actually have a similar opinion on the matter) but I just need to know

Hey cellspex what are your thoughts on the boy and the heron winning best animated feature at the golden globes? I think it was well deserved for Miyazaki even through I was rooting for spider verse. I am still kinda salty that spider verse didn’t win any nominations. But still very happy for the boy and the heron

p.s. what did you think of Suzume being nominated as well?

Both movies are deserving, and I do think the choice was impacted by it being Miyazaki's 'Last' Film, that it is still in theaters now and that they feel they will honor Spiderverse at the end of it's trilogy like the Oscars did for Lord of the Rings.

You can be happy and disappointed at the same time.

Hey! Shout-Out to CellSpex for being... Pretty much the ONLY animation YouTuber/social media figure who talks about how Western animation has been struggling with diversity to talk about Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire.

I guess I know that pretty much EVERYONE ELSE is satisfied with fanfiction-esque raceswaps/ethnicity-swaps and will just... shut the fuck up when mainstream studios keep pumping those out, right?

#and this isn't credit to Disney #they may have given the project a spot to shine #but they did FUCK ALL in promoting out outside of once during Spring #and a passing mention when it finally dropped this month #if you still have Disney+ PLEASE watch this #each episode is like 13 minutes #and I REALLY want Disney to release it on Blu-Ray before purging it in another IP sweep next year

I love it how in the past few weeks there’s been a noticeable surplus of videos with people going “WAIT RISE TMNT IS ACTUALLY GOOD FUCK” and I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.

Hey, so I just watched The Stranger By The Shore and I'm prepared to make it your problem.

8/10

Oh my God, relationship development instead of intangible pining! And communication?! Truly this can only be the work of witchcraft!

Like, the only gay anime ever to actually discuss LGBT related topics and struggles like homophobia (externalized and internalized), family disownment, cover marriages, and found family.

It's surprisingly really funny?? I laughed out loud several times. Especially at Shun's sibling bickering with Eri. And just Eri in general

I went in not knowing that there was going to be a sex scene and was equally surprised at how not fetishized it was. It was expectedly awkward (as it usually is the first time you have sex) and just..... really cute??? I don't know how you managed to make a sex scene cute, but you managed it and for that I applaud you

Yes, it was short, but I thought the pacing was low-key and it didn't rush.

The setting and atmosphere as a whole was very relaxing and charming

Mio is my favorite character and I love him and Justin Briner does his English voice and I am GONE

Also, Yuuri's English voice actor voices Shun, too, and that's just perfect

I find that the balancing act between talking about LGBT issues and struggles while still keeping the story light to be a tricky one to walk at times, but this movie handled it really well. The best kind of drama is the interpersonal kind, and the best kind of angst is followed by hurt/comfort and fluff.

Also, I feel I should mention that I am not really a fan of BL or Yaoi, as I feel there's a lot of problematic tropes and even potentially damaging things in there that seem to be a staple of the genre; namely, a boatload of consent issues and fetishized violence. To quote Cellspex from her 2021 animated film ranking YouTube video, historically, the venn diagram between representation and entertainment for same-gender romance in anime seems to overlap very rarely, if ever. And this movie is literally the only one I can think of that falls more into the former category than the latter. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with an LGBT romance being more about entertainment than representation, it's just that Japan's track record for making good ones is not great.

I did think that the thing with Shun's ex-fiance was weird, but it served to further Shun's development and flesh out his backstory, so it's not like it was pointless

The flashback scenes with Mio and his mom were fucking adorable and reminded me a lot of my own mom

I seriously cannot stress enough just how fucking cute this movie is

The romance as a whole was very sweet and adorable. I've read reviews where people call this a breath of fresh air for the yaoi/BL genre, and from the few pieces of media I've seen in that genre, I can't help but agree

Overall, nothing ground-breaking or amazing, just a really sweet romance in a relaxed, low-key environment

Support Cellspex's channel fr.

I LOVE this getting called out. Because I cannot stand this has a form of criticism. Every time I see this getting used, it's a way to 'justify why it's bad and not worth your time'

"Pretty Cure is basically Sailor Moon"

"Danganronpa is basically The Hunger Games"

"Squid Game is basically The Hunger Games"

"Total Drama is basically PG Dananronpa"

"Ninjago is basically TMNT"

"Ninjago is basically Star Wars"

"The Owl House is basically Harry Potter"

AND? It's almost like there's good story potential ideas that can be expanded on. As though shows about magical girls or shows about ninja brothers or shows about a universal war are NOT allowed to coexist in peace?!

Basically the vid just says my thoughts.

Okay, I say this as a person who didn't grew up with the Toy Story Franchise (I maybe have seen the first one dubbed???) but everything else I only know by Popculture Omniousis and Gifs (even being a Zillenial), so I really have no Emotional Investment in the Franchise, but I love Film Analysis, and I really liked YouTubes CellSpex ~ "Lightyear should have been a Reboot of the Original Story, that Andy takes his children to see"

Thanks for the rec! I've already declared my approval for the theory that Lightyear is an in-universe reboot of the Buzz Lightyear franchise--it makes so much more sense, because that's what this movie actually is, and it avoids all the Imaginary Book Rec laws that Lightyear ran afoul of. I'll have to check out that video sometime.

Cellspex actually has a really good video regarding subs and dubs in anime, I highly recommend it

https://youtu.be/TSnAxBec7cg

Oooh, I remeber that video.

Yeah, that one is really good.
