Classic 80s Cartoon "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" History.

He-man and The Masters of the Universe is an 80s cartoon classic, reintroducing kids to cartoon violence. The History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by manwhoooo is a great reedit of actual clips from the original 80s cartoon. This is a great montage with great background music accompanying it. Succinctly, telling the history of how He-man and The Masters of the Universe all began. Really useful reediting of scenes from He-man to give us the story in an engaging, entertaining chronological way.

THE SIRENS' CARNAGE: THE FINALE by RoTV

Here it is, folks...my thrilling conclusion to Volume 2 of my Star Trek: The Animated Graphic Novel series.  I think it's some of my most solid Trek writing to date.  But, I guess you'll be the judge of that.  I hope you enjoy it. - RoTV

STAR TREK: AURORA

I posted Parts 1 and 2 of this series a while back on the "old" ToonPub.  This is an extremely well made 3D animated series set in the Trek universe...but in a part we're not used to seeing.  It's beautifully rendered and I'm finding the story quite compelling.  Here are the first 4 parts with the next chapter due out in the summer of 2010.  Enjoy! - RoTV

Fumiko's Confession

Randomly searching for animations on Internet can bring us pleasant surprises... 

Check out this animation that has been favoured by hundreds of Japanese style animation fans. According to many blogs in the net, it's been made by Hiroyasu Ishida, a young student at Kyoto Seika University. An University with its own Faculty of Manga... Now, those are some studies I didn't even know existed!

Although having received some help with backgrounds and 3D CG textures, it seems that most of the work has been made by this 21 y.o. animator. This is someone to keep an eye on in the future!

Here it is the original version in Japanese. Not many dialogues, and pretty easy to guess what happens: A young girl is turned down by Fumiko, who prefers to play baseball rather than going out with her...
