Regular Show: The Lost Tapes

[Markus]

People are making a big deal out of it for being the first original on mainline CN since 2022

And they have every right to make it a big deal. Many other shows moved to Adult Swim that were supposed to air on CN. They needed something new. They couldn't pass for this one.

They make a big deal out of it because it’s Regular Show, mane.

Actually, these episodes has already been mentioned in the previous page, but it’s not complete, as the episodes has 44 episodes (incl. specials), while in that PDF file, it shows 37 episodes.

The only source for 44 episodes comes from Mark Hamill at FanExpo 2024, who could’ve easily just not remembered the exact number of planned episodes. In the same panel, he referred to William Salyers as the voice of Mordecai, and confused JG with a completely different person.

If it was another show, they would also make a bid deal out of it because CN hasn't gotten an original in a while.

No I’m sorry, this just confirms it for me. The show looks so much worse.

CN Studios isn't even directly to blame for that. Blame Saerom instead.

They could work around this issue by hiring Rough Draft Korea to do the animation work instead.

It's just a promo. It might be fixed in later episodes but you also have to think about the overall episode plots. If a full episode is good at least with the stories, it won't be that bad. So much worse is a bit too much to say when we've had much worse shows. PPG reboot anyone?

Yeah the animation is cheap as heck here. Thankfully, the characters are what I come to Regular Show for, so cheap animation isn’t a deal breaker. But it is certainly a little disappointing.

Take this with a grain of salt but (took real people's names out to protect identities).....

This looks even worse it looks like its animated in FLASH. And flash has evolved to the point anything can actually look good if you have effort and talent.

It reminds me of those Johnny Test web shorts before that show got revived.

How is my post optimistic? I saw with MY OWN EYES some animation that used rigs and was WAY MORE FLUID than this. I know art is subjective but this animation IS BAD and you CAN have GOOD animation even with rigged.

Wax it and relax it fellas

Regarding the stiffer animation in Regular Show: The Lost Tapes, blame Saerom Animation, not Cartoon Network Studios.

Thread 'Regarding Saerom Animation and its stiffer animation nowadays (2020– or 2021–present)'

Is it just me, or did Saerom Animation start using rigged animation in their outsourced animation work beginning somewhere around 2020/2021? Before that, they largely used hand-drawn traditional animation (with only rare exceptions such as that one Henry Danger cartoon).

Compare their work on earlier episodes of Amphibia to their work on later episodes (beginning late in season 2 or during season 3). Also, notice the stiffer animation in later Craig of the Creek episodes (beginning around season 2 or 3) animated by Saerom compared to earlier episodes. Compare some of...

They reported Regular Show's release date before it was officially announced, so likely yeah.
