From Disney with love,
fuck i love this EYECANDY
dis show givin me eye-abetes
Motorcity
-
-
that art style looks p cool
-
Made by the people who did Megas XLR and music my most of the Metalocalypse crew? Hell YEAH I'm gonna watch this show!
I love how even when characters are just standing around talking, they take care to add in enough incidental animations (head movements, arm gestures etc)
-
Fuck, the animation has to be most crazy and awesome since Gurren Lagann
-
Motorcity is a awesome cartoon
Texas is the best character in the show -
What's really neat about the animation is that its all created using Maya and Flash. The characters are flash and they have this really awesome plugin created that can rotate a flash 2D model as if its 3D.
-
I remember an artist that I follow mentioning it on her tumblr, this thread made me give it a try. It's awesome, that ridiculous animation is just something else.
-
HEY!
A good lookin' cartoon!
sweet
-
Megas XLR people?
Metalocalypse people?
from Disney?
what is this world…
-
I guess I found the deviantart of one of the animators, anyway, this rough animation looks awesome
http://guts-n-effort.deviantart.com/art/Motorcity-101-Animation-304590030?q=boost%3Apopular%20motorcity&qo=8It's good to see there are some good fanarts already too.

We had the day off from work here to celebrate the birthing of ‘Merika so I figured I would get started on my Motorcity promo poster thing a little early. For once! Even tried something a little different and more rough. Hope you enjoy it.
Fandom, we NEED more viewers!!! Please feel free to reblog to help get the word out about this all new episode of Motorcity that airs on Thursday at 8:30. It’s gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooo friggin’ awesome. I can’t wait to see all of the awesome new fanart and reactions after you watch it tomorrow night. You’re gonna lose your little minds.
I also just found out that in addition to Itunes… you can also download new episodes from the sony online store after midnight the night they air. They are beautiful HD copies and only cost $2.99. That’s how I’ve been watching it off of my PS3. Just figured some of you might not be aware of that pretty awesome alternate viewing option.

Show's fun. Really enjoyed the latest episode with zombies. Dutch's art/backstory was so psychedelic and colorful.
-
The show is not doing well in ratings….
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR!!!! TUNE IN AND WATCH IT.....when it comes on.
-
i love the show but one question why does chuck always have to scream . he does this on a weekly basis and still it freaked out about mike's driving
-
I…am gonna have to sit down and watch this at some point.
I had no idea this even existed until today, and it looks, AWESOME.
-
Why have I not watched this yet? Just from that intro, it looks pretty cool. Tonight, I rectify this matter.
-
Is it on XD or something?
-
So I watched a couple episodes yesterday and I'm hooked. Disney has a surprisingly strong cartoon lineup right now. I didn't know going in that it was the Megas dudes handling this, but it makes perfect sense. Butt-of-a-thousand-jokes city faces a futuristic threat and their only salvation is in the form of automechanics. Much more action-based, though. The designs are cool, the action is solid and the characters are great. Plus, a bunch of Ed Roth references don't hurt. I only wish they would crack a Detroit joke every once in a while (there's no shortage!), but maybe I'm too stuck on Megas. Motorcity is its own entity and a great one at that.

ATTENTION MOTORCITY FANDOM!
Go here now: MOTORCITY FANS CLICK HERE!
I know what you’re thinking, “It’s just the disney page for Motorcity.”
And you’re right, but that’s not the point.
Go to the bottom right hand corner and click “be a fan.”
It’s a poll. Disney wants to know how many fans are out there.
I have no idea if it’ll have any actual impact on the show, but the least you can do is show these guys how much you care and let them know how much you love the show, right?
Also, that is a pitiful number I know there are more fans than that!
So get going and make sure to spread the word!
to entice you, here are fanarts from tumblr
-
Wow! Do you happen to know who made the 3rd one down? I really dig the style!

I remind seeing that art when I first looked for fanart before. Here's

That guy with the glasses has video of the entire Motorcity Anime Expo panel. The design process is pretty interesting.

The art for this show is so cool. I found a blog from a character designer on the show, HERE. Her work on Dutch's flashback is AMAZING. Rayon and the Skylarks _wowzers_.
-
I hope Kaia appears again soon, she has such a great design.
-
link died, sorry
-

-
So yeah, pretty much marathoned this whole show over the weekend. Need moar plz.
Also, am I the only one who looks at The Duke of Detroit and sees Kid Rock in a jogging suit?

No second season for this: http://peopleofmotorcity.tumblr.com/post/35071267582/motorcitizens-we-need-to-talk
That sucks. This was definitely one of the best looking (and sounding, in my opinion) cartoons in a while.

Already saw it on Tumblr. On the one hand, I'm not surprised; there's been fears of this with the fandom for awhile, and the hiatuses and leaks and everything are bad signs.
On the other hand, I JUST GOT INTO THIS SHOW, DAMN IT. T_T

Some mysterious, very intriguing tidbits have been coming up via various Titmouse Twitters (mostly creator Chris Prynoski) since the cancellation announcement last Monday…
!
!
!
!
!
For those who don't know (like me), the 'Gaben' in the pic/referred to in the hashtag is Gabe Newell, founder of Valve (gaming company behind the Half Life, Portal, and Team Fortress games) and Steam Distribution, as well as the Source Engine they use to create their games/animations.
This? Could be big.

where do I find episodes of this online my dvr be acting stupidtaping the last 4 mins

@RPG:

Voila! This is all the episodes released so far.
-
More mysterious Twitter postings from Chris P regarding the future of Motorcity (and another loved cartoon of his):
I WOULD BUY THE SHIT OUT OF THIS GAME(S).
-
I'll prepare a fresh pair of pants for whatever kind of news that comes out of this.
-
Another interesting tweet:
The usual hashtags, this time with a link going to a report stating that Valve is planning to release its own PC-like console. They're hoping to have hardware later in 2013.
And a reminder to everyone in the USA that a new episode, "The Robo-Roundup", is playing Sunday night/Monday morning @ Midnight EST. Last night they played the leaked episode "Julie and the Amazons".
Meanwhile, Canada is getting "Julie and the Amazons" on Thursday December 20th @ 8:00PM EST, with "Robo-Roundup" (hopefully) coming the week after.
-
Ehhhh… I can't see this as a good sign. Even if it's Valve, making a console in the decline of consoles will not end well. If this project is a part of that predictably sinking ship, it might be doomed to obscurity.
-
Chris Pyronski and George Krystic tweeted these two images of some Motorcity: Seaosn 2 storyboarding they'd done before Disney pulled the plug. A glimpse at some of what might have been:
!
! And a close up of the character stories side of the board:
!
No close up of the green "Villains" side of the board, but I can make out "More mutants", "Car Thief", "Used Car Salesman", "Kane-Funded Gang" and "Robot Gang" over there, as well as "Fire Trucks", "Motorcycles", "Party Bus", "Dune Buggies" and "Construction Vehicles" in the pink "Vehicle" section.
There is so much on here I would have loved to see…the fact that one card just has "TEXAS" on it amuses me deeply, and makes me wonder just what that card meant to the Titmouse gang. Also, the Mike story cards; dealing with his family/history, Jacob as a new father-figure, accepting not everyone in Motorcity likes what the Burners are doing, why he and Chuck are so close...AUUUUUUUUUUGH.
And for those going O_o at the "Julie is an Android" card, one of the people at Titmouse said that idea had been canned even before Season 2 was.

texas could never offend me
-
I'm a little disappointed that they never really planned to develop Texas. The only Burner with less cards up there is Dutch, but at least he received some backstory and character relationships. I always figured that Texas would have some interesting backstory and/or growth since he's both very unBurner-like and relatively unskilled.

That's what hit me here too, but the one real story with him could be some actual development if they went that way. "Actual gang of Texans are offended by 'Texas' (who actually doesn't know anything about the state)". Say that he's is forced by this gang to renounce the name, or change how he acts to reflect it better; if Texas can't be Texas, then who is he?
As for unskilled, I like to think that Texas is the only Burner to have been born and raised in Motorcity (his comment about the Mama's Boys 'messing with him for years' cemented this for me). He's no good with the technical stuff, but he definitely knows how to smash bots; maybe he was fighting Kane's bots even before he was a Burner? Or he would have been a guide to the city for the others (maybe Mike right after his defection from Kane?) before they got to know their way around Motorcity.
Meanwhile, I think that whole "Tooley is Texas without the imagination" card isn't quite right: IMO, Tooley is at least a couple levels below Tex in terms of intelligence. After all, "Texas is intelligent (okay, maybe not in an obvious way, but let's not nitpick)."
I wanna see those Dar episodes ideas too, where he acts as another insider for the Burners (discovering the truth about Julie? YES PLEASE) or bugs Dutch to come down to Motorcity; I could see him getting along with Ruby.

For the record, tonight's episode marks the beginning of the end. Finale Pt 1: Vega premieres tonight at 12:30am!
-
We have roughly 12 hours left until Finale, Part 2: A Better Tomorrow airs, and Motorcity ends. I really wish I'd discovered this series sooner; not two weeks after starting to watch, I found it wasn't renewed by Disney. Didn't even get to delve into the fandom before it started slowing down.
At least I now know iTunes Canada has the episodes up for sale, so I can support the show in it's final moments. We still have four unaired episodes to go…
-
There's a part of me that thinks part 1 would have been an appropriate end to Motorcity. It's not so much the "to be continued", but more on ending on a note of despair/Kane winning etc. that's hilarious to me.
But sadist in me aside and despite my issues/flaws with the series, it was a good show. Deserved a second season at the very least.

"The part of Abraham Kane will now be played by Disney Corporation." Heh.
But yeah, I just can't see Disney letting the bad guys win at the end of a show. It's a good thing Titmouse planned this finale assuming it may be THE end, more than just AN end; they've been burned enough times, now they're playing smart. Meanwhile, PoM on Tumblr said that Vega was 'child's play' compared to tonight's episode. I'm not sure what to make of that.
All shows have flaws, and Motorcity is no different. Would it have been different if Titmouse had their way, with more of a running plotline? Yes, but then again, if Titmouse had their way Mike Chilton would have been a very different protagonist as well. Even if it would mean getting another season and more backstory, I wouldn't change the characters I've come to know for the world.
What I DO know is that I've decided to marathon Motorcity tonight before the finale; I figure if I start around 7pm EST, I'll be done right around 12-12:30am. This cold's gonna keep me up anyway, I might as well do SOMETHING worthwhile, right?
-
I liked the finale a lot uggggh I'm still upset there won't be any more. It was a lot of fun though.
