Has anyone here seen this before: http://anibationfantasy2.blogspot.com/
I was pretty sure someone would have posted something on this in February (when the blog originally appeared), but I can't find any thread.
Basically, it seems nothing whatsoever about modern animation - most of the cartoons themselves, the industry, the writers - pleases this guy (whoever he is). Almost every aspect of contemporary animation has him foaming at the mouth. The blog's subtitle says it all: "I work in animation. I am in hell." The blog isn't merely a put-down on modern animation, it's a cry of protest - he basically thinks that, if the animation world continues in the directions it's going, it's doomed.
The reason why it says "I am back" is because he had originally retired the blog after a few short but controversial weeks, as intended. He had hoped others would follow in his footsteps, inspired by his example. But this didn't really happen as he had hoped, so he's back, probably feeling that SOMEONE has to speak up about the evils of the industry. It's worth noting that some of the more amusing posts from the original version (for example "Horrible Cartoons that Everyone Loves") are gone.
