Peanuts: Grow'd up and Anime'd

Remember years ago when EVERYTHING had a lunchbox?

Anime is the lunchbox of the next generation. So is video games.

As for the designs in the post itself, I thought it was a cool concept. I watched Rugrats when they had the special episode where they were all older (the only episode I voluntarily watched), but apparently 'Rugrats' are now permanently older.
I laughed at the fact that Charlie Brown still had his hair issues, but wasn't incredibly impressed beyond that, just interesting to see how this artist thinks they would look as older people.

Whilst I don't want to question your infinitely evil wisdom, what's wrong with it?

It's so funny how everyone is so upset over this. It's one artist, who was probably bored, who was probably a fan of the Peanuts and wanted to do a little sketch of what they would look like in his mind. It's not official, no freakin animation studio or whatever has taken it up so relax.

Actually, I'm mad about the style, I'd prolly be one to take Peanuts and attempt to draw them in my style too if I was bored enoug, I just can't stand to look at pictures that look like they came from an American drawn "How to draw Manga" book. That style went through artists like the game "telephone" someone started to draw american like anime, then it would go to the next person, get more exagerated, and repeated that until you have a style that you can actually tell an american drew, it lost all individual style, because if you go to a bookstore, pick up one of those books, they'll look -just like- those peanuts pictures. =[

Yikes.

That's what it looks like. I can't stand the faces, that guy would be a great artist for the ten year olds, but the uniqueness is gone. Plus.. the peanuts got butchered in wannabe anime style... It just hurts..

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was gonna say.

The only one I like is Sally. She's adorable.

This, just like the comments in the livejournal, is split entirely two different ways, people saying it's either utterly amazing or utterly pathetic.

It's pretty amusing to read basically identical comments both here and on there.

I think it's kinda fun, the guy is a pretty good artist and it's not really something anyone should take seriously. I fail to see how Peanuts is being 'defiled' or 'ruined' or whatever, it's not like by creating this the original ceases to exist or loses anything of it's magic; it's just some random guy having a bit of fun drawing a cartoon he likes in an alternative style.

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

Once more, for emphasis, HOLY CRAP.

The art is unoriginal, but the idea isn't. Just freaky.

I thought they were great pictures.But the only people I could recognize were Pepermint Patty and Charlie Brown until I noticed the little drawings of the original characters!But jeez people,don't get all worked up over the pictures.

I wonder what a Rugrats anime would be like...*shutters*...Yikes...

Lindy posted an opinion...without insulting anyone. Wonders never cease.

And yeah, his post summarizes what I feel.

The only two times I've seen you post is commenting on me, umm, congratulations on having nothing better to do?

Heh heh, cute. :cat:

Edit: He even said 'umm' xD

You wouldn't know Charlie Brown's attitude to life without the dialogue. He could look like anything and still be the same person, as long as the dialogue's the same. So the absence of dialogue here in the anime versions is the problem in not tying people together, rather than any particular artistic aspect. IMO.

After the Brady Bunch Kung Fu fighting game. Nothing surprises me. I wasn't all that big a fan of the original Peanuts. Though I did like them. I'm not appauled by this. The idea has merit and kudos to the person for trying it. For some reason I kinda like it. And I'm not even an obsessed otaku anymore. So I dunno why I like it. I just do..
