This is huge and I am SO excited

Thunt gives a public announcement about new in-development animated series, plus a happy update on the card game!
ETA: Campaign relaunch is live!
It also seems like Thunt has gobs of side story that hasn't been told through the main story as well. If the animators ever start getting too close the main story, you can just go all "Naruto" on things and give 50 episodes of filler material that is side stories.WearsHats wrote:Well, Thunt wrote the entire story before the first page was posted, and he's been drawing for a decade. And he's done with G:AR, so hopefully updates will be more regular. It'll be a while before G:TAS catches up with the comic.
We don't know yet.thinkslogically wrote:Who's doing the animation for the animated series?
Thunt's Blog wrote:Aside from Matt [King] and Phil [LaMarr], I don't think I'm allowed to officially name any of the actors, the animation studio, who's doing the music, etc. At this point, I'd rather err on the side of caution since this whole thing has like... lawyers involved with contracts and percentages and lots of grown-up stuff like that.

Matt Freeman wrote:@Thunt_Goblins I just realized something. How is the Animated Series going to handle "that" storyline with Kin?
Which does not tell us if the story in G:TAS will be the same, or an adaption of the comic's story line. And whether Thunt will have a say in that.@[color=red]Thunt[/color]_Goblins wrote:I honestly don't know if I'd have to change that story arc or not. It might have to be implied instead of said outright, I'm not sure.
Strangely enough, there aren't any real-life dragons, or orcs, or ents, and yet (most of) the Lord of the Rings movies weren't animated...GathersIngredients wrote:Just because it's animated, doesn't necessarily mean it's a kid's show.

And it has to be (at least partially) animated, because there are no real life goblin (actor)s. Or Yuan-Ti. Or owl-bears. Or most of the other residents of the goblins universe...

It didn't seem right to launch a new project with the last one unfulfilled, even though it was a licensed product and not ever supposed to be his job. But he's just about done with that. G:TAS is another matter. He's a consultant, doing animation guides to help others draw the characters and reviewing the dialog to make sure it's in character. He's involved in regular meetings. But the bulk of the work will be done by experienced professionals.
Simpsons and South Park handles many topics (including contemporary issues), that is very different from goblins comic which is more story oriented.Morgaln wrote:Strangely enough, there aren't any real-life dragons, or orcs, or ents, and yet (most of) the Lord of the Rings movies weren't animated...GathersIngredients wrote:Just because it's animated, doesn't necessarily mean it's a kid's show.

But I agree, "animated" does not equal "made for kids." It's something that many people still haven't learned, even though shows like The Simpsons and South Park have been a thing for more than twenty years.
