Pen Ward, Rebecca Sugar, Pat McHale, and Ian Jones-Quarty Collaborate On an Adult Swim Project

Wow, OK, so The Elephant is going to be a three-act animated project, each helmed by a different creator (Rebecca and Ian are sharing their act), and none of them know what’s in the other two acts when they make it. Only a pair of other Adventure Time alumni (Jack Pendarvis and Kent Osborne) know the full story, and acted as guides for the others. Oh, I get it. Like that one fable about the blind guys and the elephant.

Episode 1 of The Mighty Nein Releases

Although Critical Role‘s first campaign, The Legend of Vox Machina, still has at least another season to go before it’s finished getting adapted into an animated series, it looks like they’ve already gotten started on the second Critical Role campaign, The Mighty Nein! This story puts a heavier emphasis on gritty political intrigue and morally-grey misfit outsiders; it’s pretty cool! Also crud crud crud I’m still only halfway through watching that campaign, I really gotta catch up before I’m spoiled on it…

It’s Animation Time!

What animated things have you been into lately? What’s a recent episode of something you saw that lacks a dedicated review spot? Here’s where we can talk about it! Like the old AT comment section, try to begin top-level comment threads with the name of the specific show you want to talk about in bold (assuming you are talking about a specific show), so it’s easy to find for others who want to talk about that show.
