And let's not forget the neighbor carl, gruffly voiced by co-director matt willis. The poor foreigner-loving slob lived next door to three giant pieces of fast food and routinely found himself getting mutilated. There was an attempt, right at the beginning of the series, to have meatwad, frylock and master shake act as crime-solving private detectives, but that got scrapped pretty quickly. In fact, you can almost physically feel the moment when the last strand of sanity snapped and they decided to just let the whole show fly into beautiful oblivion.

Of course, animation is also one of the more expansive tv subsets, with dozens of different tones and styles that make comparisons often feel like apples and oranges. Disney had one hit animated series after another in the late '80s and 1990s with the likes of ducktales, tailspin and chip n' dale rescue rangers. However, the iconic studio went outside their usual style in a big way with gargoyles. The creator of the series, greg weisman (now the man behind the spectacular spider-man), told a layered and intriguing story, refusing to write down to his audience.

There were also some amusingly dark moments snuck in, such as a scene in which lead character doyle smashes a fly between his hands, only to be told that the fly was a fellow student. The...

Anime scenes place an emphasis on achieving three-dimensional views. For example, anime often puts emphasis on changing seasons, as can be seen in numerous anime, such as tenchi muyo!. Anime is often considered a form of limited animation I.E. Common parts are re-used between frames instead of drawing each frame. This fools the eye into thinking there is more movement than there is, and lowers production costs becase fewer frames need to be drawn. Interviews have revealed that a lot of the animation team were inspired by japanese creators, and that went into the show. The transformation sequence from adora to she-ra is definitely magical-girl influenced.
