What was the “something”?

This is the My Little Pony reboot we need, and deserve :D

I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I’m gonna crop this down to only Twilight and caption it with something.

Rarity is still cute tho

I don’t think it’s too bad, (despite the androgynous designs, probably intentional, as Gems technically have no gender) but the overused “upper lip” half circle detail seems off-putting to me kinda. Other shows like “Craig og the Creek” seem to use it alot too, oftentimes without a lower lip detail.

@orbsah  
Steven Universe’s artstyle is unappealing to me, but that is just my opinion D:

So, “calarts style” is basically Steven Universe now?

@Sr Pelusa  
As much as I respect John K.‘s art, (despite his unfortunate apparent crimes) it’s a li’l ironic of him to accuse other animators of being blinded by nostalgia for ‘60s cartoons, considering he himself hates almost every cartoon that doesn’t emulate the retro animation styles he himself was influenced by.
 
Heck, John K. hates every cartoon he worked on that wasn’t his own personal creation. (Like “Heathcliff” where he was a character designer.)

The animeesque fad kinda got old too after awhile, and kinda turned some people off anime, and animeesque shows. Though, animesque wasn’t just in the 2000s, as they were actually common in the ’80s & ’90s too, as many American cartoons had overseas animation done in Japan like the first season of the original TMNT cartoon, Tiny Toons, several Disney Afternoon shows, the original Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, and others. (Oddly, the intro to the “Super Mario World” show was done in Japan too, and as a result looked better then the actual show.)  
As a result, those shows actually had some animesque moments too, like some of the facial expressions, and tropes like “cross-popping veins.”

@Chuy Ryu  
i miss tom and jerry.

@Chuy Ryu  
And Where almost every American, Canadian and French cartoon had something Asian in it or was a martial arts themed one to go with it

I miss the 2000’s and the animesque fad…

@Itsthinking  
a lot of the hate comes from the thundercats new art style being butt-fugly as well.

I think it’s more how this style is associated with only one kind of show (for the most part.) People don’t look at this style and see “serious drama show,” which is a shame because Gravity Falls and Over the Garden Wall were a thing.

holy shit the way they drew twilight ha ha ha ha ha ha

LOL the internet is awash in insecure dudes who define themselves by their “knowledge” of nerd culture trivia without actually knowing what they’re talking about.

>fake geek boys  
This won’t ever be a thing, no matter how desperately you wish otherwise.

@TexasUberAlles  
The funny thing is that the trm CalArts was created by John K because he hated the visuals of The Iron Giant
 
According to him, this is CalArts:

I would actually watch this version of Equestria Girls, I swear to Faust.
 
@TexasUberAlles  
If it makes you feel any better, I don’t call it the “CalArts style” what I call it, shouldn’t be reproduced in text. Even if I’m not interested in watching Thundercats Roar myself, I’m sure some people out there will enjoy it.

@PonyQuarantine  
This is some well-roasted comedy right here.

@Background Pony #4131  
Okay professor.
 
 
@TexasUberAlles  
You ever heard of a comedy roast?

@Background Pony #4131  
Use of calarts style as an insult started among easily-offended manchildren on 4chan and Tumblr as an easy label to slap on cartoons they don’t like; it doesn’t matter to them that for the most part it isn’t even accurate– Steven Universe is a frequent target, for example, even though Rebecca Sugar studied at SVA in New York– they just want a hashtaggable label that’s short enough to say with a sneer.

I don’t see why people call the art style that 2010s cartoons are in (even though it actually predates this decade with stuff like Chowder,Flapjack Superjail, Persepolis, many old Video games and I think MTV’s bumpers and Liquid Televison) the Cal arts style?

Come on, jump on the butt hurt bandwagon  
Funny doesn’t hurt the butt.

Honestly not surprised.

Come on, jump on the butt hurt bandwagon.

This may be bitchy in origin, but it’s still a hoot.
 
@sumbozo  
It’s hilarious how many fake geek boys are whining about le calarts style right now because they’re only capable of speaking in buzzwords and catchphrases and can’t be arsed to check Wikipedia or something to see that most of the things they’re whining about have nothing to do with CalArts.
 
Also, I don’t think most people really “miss” pedophiles who get run out of town on a rail.
