Off-topic: Tron Uprising

[Ultra Magnotron]

I don't know if off-topic posts, especially about other franchises,
are really tolerated here. I just finished watching the Tron: Uprising
prelude, and I have to say it's awesome. It will air on Disney XD
tonight, so if there are any Tron fans here who haven't seen it you
may want to set your DVR.

Now, I'm a stickler for kick-ass animation. The art style has to be
amazing if you want me to pay attention, and the character art in
this show sucks. The designs are awful and I can't stand the faces.
However the backgrounds, vehicles, special effects, and other details
are all spot-on!

The one thing that can ake me overlook sucky character models is a
good story. I mean, that's why we all tune in anyway, right? The
story for this show takes place between the the end of the original
Tron and the beginning of the new Tron: Legacy. I won't give away
any spoilers, but I can say it focuses on a young program named
Beck and his mission to save the grid from the tyranny of Clue.

So that's all I have to say. Back to Transformers.

Very timely, thanks. It's also on regular Disney Channel
tonight if you missed the XD broadcast, and it looks like it will be
repeated numerous times on both channels over the next week. And
there's also YouTube, of course.

You mean Clu. Seriously, I've been looking forward to this
show. I really liked Tron Legacy, mainly for the landscape and
vehicle designs that you highlighted. And the music. It will be on
at a convenient time, too, starting June 7 at the same time that I'm
now watching Fox's Touch (which concludes the week prior).

- Shin Hibiki, should really get around to modifying my Quorra figure
