Is this actually worth watching...

Is this actually worth watching? I saw it posted here recently I got a bunch of nostalgia flashbacks from when they used to air this on Jetix. I remember enjoying it as a kid but is it actually good? As far as i recall the prot got really deep at one point ( or maybe thats just my retarded prepubescent brain).

Don't watch it. And thanks for summoning the autist.

Comic book is vastly superior in everything
Cartoon has mediocre, low-budget animation and dumbed-down plots and characters

Here's what I've said to several other anons:
Watch the 2-episode pilot (in full, this is extremely important!). It's 44 minutes long.
Unlike with many other cartoons, the pilot is (a) one of the best parts of the show and (b) will give you a excellent feel for the show.

So if you like the pilot, you will LOVE the show.
If you don't like it, feel free to blame me all you want, haha. I won't badger you about it at all.
At least one user has already done this (maybe two), and definitely liked the show enough to continue watching it.

Oh, and BTW get the "multilingual DVDRip" torrent, and avoid all other versions at all costs.
(Quality issues, among many other problems.)

I never watched the show, but was subscribed to the comics for a couple of years, and can confirm this. I wouldn't say it's a 10/10, but it's got great balance between the social stuff and the lore. I especially loved the sprinkled elyon stuff, they had great pacing with the secondary characters that really complimented the main cast out.

Cornelia was a bitch though.

OK, I was going to ignore this and the little taunt from but on second thought? Fuck all of you.

The cartoon had far more interesting and believably developed characters, far deeper plots with less focus on slice-of-life bullshit, and most important of all far more internal consistency. (The comics were basically rebooted in the middle of their first arc because they weren't able to handle the original writers leaving, while the cartoon not only survived an entire writing team replacement but actually got better for it. That alone tells you it's vastly superior right away.)

Furthermore, the cartoon has the best quality animation I've seen in any Western animated series, even better than say Avatar's. It's up there with the best anime in all major respects.

Don't get me wrong, the comics are by no means bad. But you comicfags certainly are. You not only killed your own fucking beautiful animated adaptation, you helped ensure the downfall of the Western animation industry (because Avatar couldn't transform it into something like the anime one all by itself). Additionally, you destroyed the one show that might have put a serious dent in TV feminism, and just about the only one that actually made girls who grew up on it better for watching it (encouraging developing actual personalities).

So again, fuck you. Fuck all of you.

You're welcome.

This. It is true art. I think we should definitely story time it now to get more people to see it. And generally whenever we have a thread like this.

you're kind of like the W.I.T.C.H equivalent of chris-chan ain't ya?

Thanks for the mental image, user.

More like the Famicon guy of W.I.T.C.H

Seriously, what is with these retards and thinking their precious shows are the be-all, end-all of animation?

W.I.T.C.Hfag why do you do this?

You fucking comicfags, you think it's just me saying this shit? Oh please:
(one of the posts that convinced me to watch it in the first place!)
>WITCH was quality Western take on the magical girl genre that adopted some basic ideas and developed them in positive ways. In doing so it surpassed the vast majority of the interchangeable cookie-cutter bullshit from Japan. It had character development, it had ongoing plotlines, it had actual changing dynamics within the group, secondary characters were actual characters, villains had motivations, plots that made sense and spanned multiple episodes, and they were threatening, the antagonism between the girls and the villains was developed in them acting to frustrate the villain in an organized manner. And the romance and drama weren't too dumb or too boring. So yes, it was unironically good as far as little girls' cartoons go.
>Not that guy, but:
>The first 6 issues of the first arc in the comics are excellent, possibly the best in the entire run. Then there was an executive decision to change almost everything and toss a good chunk of the original team off the book. Issues 7-12 are pretty dreadful as a result and outright contradict 1-6 in grievous ways.

[a bunch of detailed info removed thanks to Sup Forums's fucking bullshit post limit, go read it]

>Season 1 is not a masterpiece, and it has nothing on issues 1-6 of the first arc, but 7-12 completely dropped the ball (on purpose no less) and Season 1 is better overall than Arc 1 of the comics due to that.

Take responsibility for your actions, and stop denying what happened.

Keep crying, kiddo. The fact that you keep crying "co-comicfags!" at everyone just makes you look like a fucking child

Responsibility for what? You have NO PROOF that it was the fans. Did you even pay attention to the news regarding it's cancellation? Because if you did, you'd know it was Disney who pulled the plug, not the fans. Idiot.

Take responsibility for your crippling autism and quit being a sperg

Oh, I'm not crying. I know exactly what shitheads you people are. I'm simply calling you out so that innocent anons (like OP presumably is) know who they're dealing with.

>Cant have WITCH threads anymore because of one autist

At least isn't a Danny Phantom thread

or Tiny Toon threads or Avatar threads with Azula as the spotlight

I know you're baiting, but in case anyone else is reading this:
Yes, the show was cancelled by the owner of the franchise. Thanks, Captain Obvious. (And here I thought fans could actually do that... silly me!)
But it was cancelled due to low ratings, and the question is why they were low.

In America the ratings were low because of a lack of distribution, in part due to competition from a certain other series that shall not be mentioned but that somehow managed to get preferential treatment over Disney (how???). But other factors were it not airing on Disney Channel itself (why?) and terrible scheduling.

However, over in Europe many people were already familiar with the comics, unlike in the US. So that's where you comicfags managed to torpedo their popularity. The idiotic whining basically destroyed Western European interest in the show, and in fact barely anyone would remember it now were it not for the fact that Eastern Europe doesn't follow trends as much (or at least didn't back then) and people there can actually think for themselves more. (And it certainly wouldn't have got a full DVD release!)

Moral of the story: Russia is fucking awesome. Oh, and fuck you comicfags. Again.

Winx Club was the superior show. Deal with it.

calm down witch-chan and go drink some orange soda

Here's the other half of just for you:
>Winx was plagiarizing, unimaginative garbage with awful design and animation, cardboard characters who were defined by having a single interest which was also their name, cardboard villains, and boring, retarded plots that were literally cobbled together from plagiarized stories and clichés. They took the shittiest, laziest magical girl template and somehow managed to execute it in the worst way possible, all to exploit little girls for their parents' hard earned money with shitty merchandise.

>it was canned due to low ratings and poor distribution
>this is somehow the fans' fault
You are so goddamned retarded, sonny boy. Are you even old enough to post here? Because you sound like a fucking 14 year old.

You first.

It succeeded where your shitty show did not. It was still better than your mediocre adaptation.

>no u!
Aren't you adorable? Where'd you learn how to argue? Knowyourmeme?

When I was a kid, I was really into the W.I.T.C.H comics. My mom thought she'd buy me the game for my birthday to make me happy. She ended up being me the winx gameboy game.

I finished that game in one fucking day, and it wasn't even good. I was pretty pissed at the time.

Fantastic retort.

There was a WITCH game?

It's the one where this amazingly beautiful instrumental comes from (the only official one, fuck you USA intro): youtube.com/watch?v=kpxaAJtPqTQ

No comment on the game itself, though. Haven't played it.

>can't talk about Sym-bionic Titan with TMSfag crying about it being allegedly stolen
>now we can't discuss W.I.T.C.H cartoon because some waifufag has fallen in love with the series
What's fucking next? Someone who only loves the shitty live-action Code Lyoko season and won't let anyone enjoy the original animated ones?

Sym-Bionic Titan is horrific, and also horrifically overrated garbage.

Nice bait, son

Not bait. It's shit just like other overrated shows on this board (OTGW, Motorcity, etc.) just with a horrifying moral on top, making it even worse.

>loves the shitty live-action Code Lyoko season
Sounds implausible for someone to have such shit taste, but again, this board has endless SU threads.

waifu game seems on point.
im intrigued

>he doesn't know the difference between those
I know! It is, and it actually makes sense too.

Nice opinion, brohan.

"You first" is literally the same thing, retard. But a newfag like you with shit arguing skills wouldn't know that.

It "succeeded" the same way the current Western animation industry (amongst many others) does: nepotism. Financially, yes. Quality-wise? Bahaha.

Considering we're in a thread with the WITCHfag, it's not that unlikely a scenario. Faggotry exists in many forms.

No, you fucking retard. "NO U" is just an empty retort, usually blatantly false. "You first" is only used correctly in a literal sense.

In this specific case, anyone who posts on this Chinese cartoons board is obviously autistic.

yeah there was a witch game. Objectively, it was pretty bad. probably worse than the winx game. It was a standard platformer, but with terrible hit boxes and boring attacks. The game was more frustrating than fun. It was also super ugly, and had a couple (as any game based on a movie/comic) moments that didn't follow the canon plot at all.

Get that weak shit outta here!
look at this, this is the real deal.

...

It's still literally the same fucking thing, dipshit. Saying "you first" is the same thing as "no u are", a shitty retort made by someone who can't come up with an actual response and just throws the insult (this being someone sperging) back at the one who said it.

...

...

You didn't actually read my post, did you? Faggot.

there better be r34 of this shit

Kek. What a fucking troglodyte.

Winx was here. W.I.T.C.H is a loser

I did, and you're still fucking wrong, dipshit. That's fine if you like the like the fucking cartoon, but you're the only fucking sperg here with your shit attitude towards anyone who likes the comics.

...

>he didn't bother using the DVD version and instead left the obvious TV channel logos in

...

...

...

Can confirm this user.
The comic had a quite a surprising artistic aesthetic that was quite unusual for me at the time. I don't know what happened with the comic after I stopped, but the first 10-15 issues are worth your while. Not perfect, but a good read.

...

...

...

Wasn't it right around the 15 issue mark that Disney put some braindead buffoon in charge of the story?

...

...

Not that cartoon porn isn't fucking disgusting, but there basically isn't any because of the comicfags.
(At least AFAIK...)

last one for tonight

>again with the bullshit claims about comicfags
Give it a fucking rest, kid

The comics were way better than the cartoon
read those

same user
I mean, take a look at dat comic artwork:

In overall story, sure. But the cartoon was pretty solid, maybe not the Holy Grail a certain user is making it out to be, but still a good show nonetheless.

Buddy, please. If you think the comics art can even begin to compete with the fucking beautiful cartoon, see Oh, and pic related too.

I would do some absolutely criminal things to Taranee Cook.

Butt things.

Wonder who had the best butt of the five girls

Bitch please, this is nothing. Dressguy was way worse. At one point, any given Jenny thread was 50% his posts, either begging for new pics or rambling about how much he likes Jenny in his semibroken english. Fortunately it seems like he's either dead or managed to get meds for whatever is wrong with him.

It's not really a war, just some idiot who thinks comic readers are the source of all woes and basically throwing stale muffins at windows.

Please user, whatever you may think of me because of these fools, give the show a chance. Just follow

>i have rekindled the flames of a comic-show war
A one-man war you mean, which leads to your next point.

At least he wasn't like Famicon/TMSfag, that guy is literally impossible to speak to. He has to go on and on about the false claims regarding the origin of SBT, and how TMS are the "Gods of anime animation" or whatever. Surprised he hasn't cropped up into the Toonami threads since that fourth Lupin show began.
