In topic: "How do you guys think the meta elements of Homestuck will work in the animated series?"

It's been kind of funny seeing people worrying about trimming it down - it BETTER! IIRC the first episode is going to cover Act 1, and with relatively short episodes they will have to do a Lot of hustling to get to somewhere interesting by the end. I do wonder though if they plan on making a lot of changes between the pilot and if it gets greenlit (which..... I have to imagine they're already planning for it to with a strong built in fandom and it being an almost Tumblr household name).


I agree wholeheartedly with Jake that I think there is an opportunity for Hussie to really ADAPT and see what new opportunities there are with the new medium. They could do some really cool things with transferring a lot of the web/coding jokes to animation jokes, and even while officially on music/VA I think Toby (idk anyone else on the project) would also have to have some sick ideas/jokes. I know a lot of people groaned (I personally was in hysterics with everything going on) when they saw it was Vivziepop, but I actually kind of think that they're one of the better 'indie'(?) studios to take it on, since Helluva Boss and Vivzie herself had a similar rise from web project to Oh Shit Actual IP, but for animation.

There are a lot of funny pesterlogs but they will not be needed nearly as much when we can actually WATCH characters do things, instead of them having to talk to each other to fill out whats happening in the 2 frame gif. They can focus on snappier back-and-forths and cutting down to important information. I really am excited to see what they choose to keep, cut, and what new parts/interpretations are put in. I'm also genuinely kind of hyped to see new fans that liked the cartoons then getting a TOME of more of the characters they liked :)
