So after a bit of deliberation we decided to give you a double dose of fun for Christmas! Here is the next ten entries in our awesome list, cobbled together by AR staff members and a few guest contributors from the forums. If you have something to say about this whole affair, would you kindly check in on our lovely forums and tell us face to face? Without further ado, the next ten games are as follows…
Hey out there in cartoon land! We at the Animation Revelation super-site of strange opinions and totally normal tastes bring you our choices for the top 100 video games of all time! We tried to keep listings to the original (or specifically ranked) version of the game to keep the listing straightforward just in case you may feel the need to look into the listed choices further. We even went so far as to attempt to get gameplay footage without…
With every new season of television comes the promise of fresh experiences, traditional elements, modern designs, and of course totally terrible television. As any fan of animation is aware, the industry is not doing all too hot currently. Not to say there are not good shows being made, but the industry as a whole is not one of a healthy outlook, respect for tradition, new ideas, nor consistency. It just operates on the 1980s mentality of “Kids will watch…
So here we reach the end of our journey. I apologize for the length of time between this installment and the last but you see, if you have never seen this program you wouldn’t understand. As you can see I am no longer Desensitized, but merely the Spark Of Spirit- you may call me Spark, Sparky, SOS, or ‘kind Spirit’ (Yes, Dickens-esque!) for short). I am no longer the person you once knew. I have since cleansed my soul…
The cold opening shows us something we never thought possible; Lex Luthor has beaten Superman. As he stands over his Kryptonite infected body, he tells Superman how he managed to sneak one past him… Until he learns that Superman isn’t really Superman at all! It’s the Martian Manhunter, and the Justice League has finally trapped Luthor! He makes a run for it, but he’s simply no match for the new team and as he’s catured by the Man of Steel…
We all know about Avengers: United They Stand. A legendarily bad show they barely lasted a full 13 episode run on the old FOX Kids’ block before being quickly binned and forgotten by everyone who experienced its lousiness first hand. But now, we have a new Avengers show out, so a look back at the previous animated incarnation of these characters seems like the most sensible idea at this point in time. If you thought this show was bad for…
As we continue down the rabbit hole, we now arrive at the infamous Games episodes. The Games era, at the time, was considered a huge affront to the concept of Ren & Stimpy. It leaned far heavier on gross-out gags than any other kind of humor, and episodes themselves frequently devolved into nothing more than a contest to see if the next joke could out gross the previous. To fans, this was seen as sacrilege, but in reality… it was…
Introduction Ren & Stimpy and I have a complicated history. As a kid, I never really liked it. It’s hard to remember why exactly, but back in the day I would much rather watch Nicktoons like Rocko’s Modern Life or Doug than Ren & Stimpy. The show never really got along with my tastes as I much preferred a well timed joke or visual gag over toilet humor, no matter how well done it was. Well, my cohorts over at…
You know, they don’t make them like this anymore. I’m not just referring to animated 2D movies like Cats Don’t Dance as they are made today today. Big budget 2D animated films might be a rarity today, but back in the 90s (even the late 90s) they were still quite popular. But in that the old hacky phrase was essentially the same one used to describe the film when it originally came out in 1997. I mean this twofold, in…
About as a vibrant as a set of used markers. We of the Animation Revelation are a rare breed, as in we utterly despise any show adapted from the visual novels of a studio by the simple name of Key. Sure, they have pretty good animation and some decent, if diabetes-inducing, music, but we can’t just comprehend the cries of “BEST ANIME EVA!” when seeing reviews or discussions about Kanon, Air, or Clannad. While others may see them as emotionally…
