>What do you all hope for the show?
Furry porn. Muscle horse makes my dick hard
the op is so generic i could probably cross faded between 100 other weeb show openings with the same sounding garbage and no one could tell the difference.
It to get canned. I'm serious, its really plain. As much as its a change of pace from the usual CN shlock, its not much of an improvement.
glad we all agree, its good furrybait, and not much else

You really think so? The designs are so nice I'd be surprised if people didn't take to it and I'm counting kids in this.
>Cat is male.
Hard pass.
Adorabat is still yelling all of the time.
The designs are decent, arguably the best thing in the show
The acting is bad
The writing is average
This wasn't a bad episode. Just predictable. At least Mao Mao actually killed shit with his sword, as those monsters were living creatures and he just cut them into bits. Step up over classic Samurai Jack if nothing else.
What do you think of my Mao Mao?
Cute puss puss
He doesn't look all that heroic.
The designs are nice and recognizable
Even dc superhero girls threads get more attention than this. Remake it on /trash/
There's something very homey about the way the characters say "y'all."
well it *is* the middle of the night

Great episode.
I wish my dad hugged me like Adorabat's dad hugs her.

>What do you all hope for the show?
I hope it won't get screwed up. That is all.
Love triangles, at least three.
Why is that?
It started too good. Hence the probability that it will go to shit if the creators do one wrong step.
AND I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!
If OK KO remained to be good, then this will be.
Time will tell. For now we watch.
Didn't know this show existed since cartoons haven't interested me in a long while. Is it good, and is there a good alternative to kimcartoons that doesn't spam you with ads but takes donations instead?
That has to be an edit.
Is very anime in its presentation so if you like that kind of thing, yeah is good.
Nope, just out of context.
Just use the mega.
Okay, fine, where's the MEGA for the 1st episode? I'll be grateful.

Thank you, user.
where can I watch?
It's boring like the three bear show these guys made. They have 0 sense of pace.
>these guys
You do realize this isn't from the same guy(s) right?
shit I actually enjoyed it
This show is such a disapointment.
well then it looks like it's from the same guys. Looks boring and clearly trying too hard to be too safe for kids.
Wonderful episode today!
So.. new episodes come every Monday or what?
Original concept art from the creator shows Mao Mao shot full of arrows doing samurai shit. While that's probably what he wanted, of course it has to tone itself down for kids when it's on fucking Cartoon Network. Even in spite of that, they managed to do shit like have Mao Mao decapitate a monster offscreen; they're pushing it as far as the network is allowing them to.
>Pic related
Adora-bait
Mao Mao is such a good dad to Adorabat’s, it really warms my heart.
Fuck shipping, I love a good adopted child/parent dynamic.
remember when CN allowed crap and piss on regular show? I miss THAT cartoon network
You know, I just noticed that the premise of this show is nearly identical to the Puss in Boots show.
I hope with the shakeup at Warner the show lasts long enough so that it can start doing the kind of stuff that it very clearly wants to do but is having trouble doing with the executives
It's crazy the stuff Regular Show and TLTS got away with, it's like a completely different network
One two weeks ago, one today and eight more coming at the end of June.
>it's like a completely different network
Because everything changed after Miller took over.
>eight more coming at the end of June.
CN, please, just adopt a regular fucking release schedule for once
Well those are app releases: the proper tv premiers happier in july
Is this an unironic adventure show or is it trying to make fun of it's own premise?
Yes and no. Adorabat is a wide-eyed child who wants to become a tough adventurer, while Mao Mao is a protective idiot who also happens to be a competent hero. The entire idea of being a cool adventurer is played straight with Mao Mao, it's the aspiration of Adorabat, and it's totally subverted by Badgerclops, who acts like a 20-something who just does the hero stuff as a hobby.
This show sounds like propaganda for the Chinese Communist Party.
Mao Mao's the only damn character in the show with any sort of Asian influence at all, and he's a dumbass who wants to be famous. Are you high?
I hate everyone except Mao Mao.
I don't think I've seen anyone ship them though, if anyone is getting shipped it's Mao Mao and Badgerclops
>GOOSH GOOSH
Because it's easy to see them as being Adorabat's gay dads, duh.
It's actually really cute how at the end of the second episode, Mao Mao lets Adorabat put her wing on his shoulder, but when Badgerclops tries to do the same, Mao Mao slaps his hand away. Badger is still firmly just a friend to Mao Mao but Adorabat has rapidly become something more important to him than just a friend.
Learn to take a joke. Mao refers to a certain real person. Don't be so defensive.
Mao is a regular-ass Chinese name though. In fact, as a given name, it's considered feminine. Plus, it can be treated as an onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes.
Yep, definitely defensive.
I'm defensive against smoothbrains, yeah, what about it
Honestly I'm really enjoying this. Finding it so cute and wholesome, makes me feel really happy inside.
I would scrap that bear from the team. Bears are boring characters and they always force cliche gluttony onto these characters.
Bears eat to survive and they actually spend months without food, they don't eat because they crave food all the time.
he's a badger
Are they even allowed to make fun of the gays anymore? His character feels antiquated.
Are we talking about Mao or the lion? If its the lion then they can say that he just extremely posh.
Everyone in Pure Heart Valley acts like the king does though: they're all colorful and effeminate idiots. It's just that the king is buff.
Ep 2 could have done with extending the action scene but looks like the first episode wasn't a fluke. It's kino.
>What do you all hope for the show?
3 good seasons no more no less
Who dies in the finale?
Us
Not a bad second episode. Needs more monster slaying of course.
is the villain a Sekiro reference?
I wish Adorabat would just shut the fuck up for five minutes.
>Mao Mao going full Sherlock to discover the passage behind the stairs
I cracked a smile at that.
I wish I could shove my cock into Adorabat's mouth for five minutes
Care to give any reasons WHY you think it's disappointing?
(Your opinion ain't jack if you only say you don't like it.)
worth noting that the original Mao Mao short from 2014
1) Has an identical artstyle yet predates WBB by a year
2) had the Badger guy be a polar bear so the WBB resemblance was actually stronger
Badgerclops was always Bearclops originally. I imagine that CN wanted him changed to something besides a bear solely due to WBB.
This is pretty much Mao Mao in a nutshell: a narcissistic hero whose jerkiness is balanced by a sincere moral code, a goofy sidekick, and a spitfire daughter that brings out his softer side. Just replace the toon shenanigans with action sequences.
IDK if it's just me, but it feels more "anime" then actuall anime, probably due to the fucking constant anime symbols and tropes they use.
wtf now I want to watch Mao Mao
I'm more and more convinced Mao Mao was originally conceived as some sort of antivillain.
well the original 2014 teaser short's description is:
>Mao Mao is the hard-bitten sheriff of the Snuggle Shire. He fights for supreme justice with the help of his deputies: Bearclops (the most relaxed, bear cyborg on the planet) and Adorabat (the undisputed master of cuteness).
It's actually impressive how little the show changed in all of that time. The only thing was Bearclops becoming Badgerclops, but even then, all they really did was mix his original colors and give him a new fur pattern.
I've only watched the first episode, but it felt a lot like Wakfu to me in the humor and general "adventure" direction.
I thought it was a bit bland at first, because the "hotheaded, coolheaded, and cuteheaded characters" formula gets stale VERY VERY fast, as with every show. I'll wait for it to pick up, but I'll probably drop it if it doesn't get anywhere after the 2nd season. We Bare Bears has overstayed its welcome and has drawn the formula out WAY too long.
I'm hoping it actually has some decent action. I at least enjoy the main character being a fame obsessed hero so that's something. I'm tentatively hopeful.
would pet
I wonder if this ep was the actual first ep boarded sometime during development; that's usually the case when there's an early ep boarded by the creator and/or director themselves (in this ep's case, Parker himself and director Mike Moloney). Meanwhile the actual first ep just has two normal boarders
Parker's from the south
He outright mentioned on twitter once back when he was on OK KO that he went out of his way to have KO say y'all (weirdly parallels a similar statement from SU boarder Lamar Abrams when it came to Steven)
Speaking as someone who also just has "y'all" in his lexicon, it's nice that they use it casually without really forcing it. A lot of times in cartoons when someone says "y'all" it's just too enunciated and shit, man. They don't get the nuances of it.
Turns out this show is the first major gig for a lot of the VAs on it. Surprising because Mao Mao sounds really good.
Wow really? I'm honestly a little impressed by the voice acting.
It's cute.
yeah most of the VA's are in house titmouse people, the same people who did the original short (Parker himself as Mao Mao, Badgerclops' VA Griffith Kimmons is a titmouse animator; was a director on China IL and is now a boarder on Mao Mao, Adorabat's VA Lika Leong serves as a production coordinator on a buncha titmouse shows)
Parker and Griffith both have done a lot of voices for various 5 Second Day shorts tho. Parker also did a bunch of minor additional voices when he was on OK KO
Probably the most experienced VAs on the show are Chris "Jackson Publick" McCulloch (Orangusnake) and Debra Wilson (various minor female characters)
So exactly what is this furry show even about? Seriously what is it about? Because if it's not good then it's not worth seeing and I hope it flops harder than OK KO and of course let's all pray the staff are MeToo and everything that comes with failure. So then, what is this FURRY SPAM even about?
Don't get your furry hateboner in a twist.
>Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart centers on its title character, Sheriff Mao Mao, a daring cat who has high intentions for action and adventure. The adventurer gets stuck on a cute and cuddly town called Pure Heart Valley with his sidekick Badgerclops, a cyborg-armed badger, where they meet Adorabat, a cute little bat. Together, the three go on adventures to protect their citizens of Pure Heart Valley from the forces of evil.
Darkwing Duck acts as the sheriff of a town out of Hello Kitty, but monsters from Samurai Jack show up occasionally that he has to fight. Plus, there's a pirate crew of Scratch and Grounders led by Cobra Commander who try to steal the Master Emerald, so they have to be stopped too.
Looks to be generic garbage that will only be remembered as furry garbage in due time when the children exposed to this grow up to be gay furfags and the girls become furry. It's shit. Kung Fu Panda's films are better than this.
That's nice. Goodbye.
Oh damn, Titmouse animated this? No wonder it's such impressive eye candy.
>a daring cat
There's your problem cats aren't daring heroes. They're garbage animals who spread toxoplasma gondii parasites. If anything they should be villains and never be seen as heroes. Cats are shit you disgusting beastiality practicing zoophile sons and daughters of cunts.
Do you come from Yea Forums? that's the only place I can think of that would post something this stupid.
It IS nice. It being furry trash means I need to monitor these threads and as soon as you furries start spamming "fanart" well this stupid Mao Mao character will be just as BANNED as Nicole from Gumball who the mods repeatedly purge thanks to the No Furry Rule. I like this show in this regard it will give me something to ruin. So please start posting gay furry junk or furry anything of this garbage furry series because it's always fun to report the furry trash. And the best part is that the mods may be shit, but they're consistent on deleting furry anything even safe for work images.
It's literally the Chinese character for cat 猫
>titmouse
Oh god. It's doomed.
Titmouse does preproduction (storyboards, designs, animatics, etc), it's one of the few shows they do where the animation is fully outsourced like Hanazuki and Venture Bros (in Mao Mao's case to Inspidea, the malaysian studio that does the animation for Hanazuki, Mighty Magiswords, and Apple & Onion). Titmouse did animate the intro in house, and since titmouse's in-house stuff is also (good quality) flash, the designs lend themselves better to Inspidea doing it in flash compared to some other Inspidea shows
But Chinese cook cats, god bless them.
Extra props to Lika Leong. She has an adorable singing voice.
she's not the one who sang the intro, Kaho Kidoguchi did
I've noticed that the, uh, Chaurus that Mao Mao and Badgerclops and Adorabat fight have the same noise as the boars from RDR2.
Weird choice for SFX, but serviceable I guess.
Well, that's disappointing. I thought it was being sung from Adorabat's perspective.
>Well, that's disappointing. I thought it was being sung from Adorabat's perspective.
It definitely is, just a different person doing the singing for any number of reasons.
Parker says it is (citing other anime theme songs that are sung from a character's perspective but not by the character's VA, like the Pokemon intro)
Watched first episode.
It's pretty dope.
Ratarang best boi!
>best boi
>Ratarang
That's a funny way to spell Snugglemagne.
This show has so much potential that I’m worried about the off-chance that CN cans it. If it is to be successful, it needs to get dubbed in multiple countries, have some toys with McDonald’s or something, maybe even come up with an app game for the kids to enjoy.
Oh, it’s Snugglemange? Great pun.
Thought it was just Snugglemane.
Makes sense if he's King of the Franks, weenie that he is.
It definitely gives off first episode vibes. I'd even say the writing and pacing were stronger in this one than "I Love You Mao Mao."
Yeah, EP 2 was way less frantic, which kinda worries me since it seems like they would prefer to pack a plot heavy episode in 11 minutes instead of trying to get a 22 minutes episode.
Episode 2 was really fun. The only thing I don't like about the show so far is how barren and lifeless the town is. I really want to be immersed in the setting, not feel like there's only a couple characters in existence.
>mao mao slaps badgerclops's hand away from him
wtf my ship
Hanazuki and Mighty Magiswords are fairly well animated compared to other contemporary shows. So, gotta say these malaysians are better than whatever studios the west has been using for cheapo animation.
Hanazuki's director Allison Craig (who's worked on a buncha other titmouse shows, like Motorcity) mentioned she did some freelance boards for Mao Mao
Protective father, very good
The porn will be awkward if they have that relationship.
I don't think this show is going to have much porn. So, you won't have to worry about that.
I feel like it needs a Korean and Japanese dub immediately.
Not until his sisters show up, at least.
Wait, Mao Mao has sisters?
When are the next episodes?
Parker's voicework is surprisingly enjoyable in this show. Who could tell the guy had such range?
buncha eps are dropping on the app on the 28th, and the true tv premier is on july 1st
Parker was on a podcast thing back in January and actually drew a Mao Mao during it.
you'd know if you watched OK KO or any of the titmouse 5 second animation shorts he was involved with
said podcast conducted its interviews way back in 2015, back when Joe Schnepp was alive and pre-Parker being on OK KO
Is this an ultra-expert edit, or is this real?
He might. We've been shown that he comes from a family of legendary heroes, of which he's the black sheep because he doesn't have any legendary feats under his belt.
Edit
Creator tweeted that Mao Mao has five sisters. He wouldn't have said that if it was unimportant to the show.
Where is Mao Mao's tail?
So Mao Mao might just come from a family of heroines.
Recklessness took it as a trophy.
He's a short-tailed breed.
Lost, the MC's are all amputes
Yeah, but the animation is ten times worse.
>"Legendary heroes don't sit around eating pie all day. They travel around the world, they get swords, not to mention upholding a familial code passed down from generation to generation! And THAT'S what makes a hero truly legendary."
Wow, i did not noticed that until now, usually I don't like animal characters without tails because they look kinda weird, but Mao looks just fine, must be the cape.
Are you a furry? Why would the tail be important? Please don't let this show inspire more furries and more furry art. I don't need to see images of Mao getting cummed on.
go outside
>show inherently has animal people in
is inevitable
>Why would the tail be important?
It looks weird, what can I tell you.
Adorabat is really the only one whose an amputee. Badgerclop’s cyborg arm is an upgrade, since he can turn it into several different weapons and tools.
A lost arm is still a lost arm
So I'm guessing Mao Mao really wants to be a hero because all of his family are heroes and he's the last to really become one.
Mao Mao really is either missing a tail or born without one.
I'm pretty sure all MCs are amputees, like what said.
Mao Mao is wearing armor. He could have a tail under his armor.
>Mao Mao is wearing armor
Barely.
He’s wearing knee pads, gloves, a sash, a cape and... toe less socks? He’s naked otherwise. That includes his tail-less butt.
>it's black so it must be his fur
He has a black helmet for fuck's sake.
That's kind of a stretch, you can clearly distinguish when he is wearing the helmet, it looks shinier.
such fluid animation
Do you love Mao Mao, Yea Forums?
fall in love
When is the 5 sisters episode?
yes
What legendary gains.
GOOD BOI
the style of this show kind of reminds me of something I'd see from Ankama, which makes me interested. Although I'll have to put off watching the eps until tomorrow
Can you guys give link to first episode?
Sigh... It's in this very thread.
I'm hoping Mao Mao gets a sexy villainess who almost tempts him away from the path of being a hero by appealing to him with the idea that he can become a legendary villain instead.
Because it'd be fun.
>those are his sisters
I'd let them snu-snu me
What are you talking about, the first thing this show sprung was r63 lewds.
You might have just convinced me to watch Mao Mao.
Why do you guys keep insisting Adorabat is like a daughter? Didn't give me that impression at all, at least in the first 2 episodes. Not everything needs to fit family dynamics you know. Cute show btw.
It's just because she's a child and Mao Mao immediately adopts a protective mentor attitude to her.
You don’t spend 11 minutes holding hands and hugging a random child you have no connection of any kind to. Or do you?
lol
When did I say they have no connection? I only said that the show didn't make me think of that kind of connection in particular.
Thinking about it, if anything it feels more like he's her older brother or cousin desu
no, but i am sure gonna get CONNECTED by the end of it.
>Badgerclop’s cyborg arm is an upgrade
He's missing an eye as well
>but Mao looks just fine, must be the cape.
I thought the opposite, in fact. It's the first thing i noticed because his lower body is extremely cat-like, so the lack of tail sticks out like a sore thumb.
I wanna be just like Mao Mao!
Why is a mod itt removing all posts with any kind of sexual reference, even jokes? That's not against the rules, they never delete stuff like that.
Cute show but the bat gets on my nerves. Her voice sucks.
no it doesn't, she's adorable
I don't get it
Really?
I don't like the yellow eye color. You got anything in blue or green?
It's pretty fun thanks for making this thread.
So when is episode 3?
See the rest is gonna be dumped on the app at the end of the month basically.
Child!Mao Mao does have a tail. So it seems like is right.
New clip.
youtu.be
RIP Mao's tail. Wonder if they'll ever explain what happened to it.
I hate the way his whiskers look, they make him look like a girl at times.
Of course she's annoying, she SCREAM TALKS!!!
>That would NEVER happen for three reasons.
>1) Art style is shit, it's simplistic crap.
>2) A sexy female? Political Correctness will take care of her faster than Crash Team Racing eliminating the Trophy Girls. So no, SJWs will make her dumpy looking and please don't say "Durr hurr recent examples like Lord Dominator are hot" because she's not.
>3) Even if they do add a sexy female like how you want? She would be an ANIMAL. That means that the instant you people start posting her on Yea Forums? She'll be banned on sight just like pic related. In fact I've already seen the mods deleting pics of Mao himself or certain posts talking sexually about Mao. I think the mods realize this is the next "Nicole from Gumball" and they're preparing and getting used to deleting Mao content on sight.
Wow the faggot mods work very quickly to delete posts even if they're making a point just because Miranda from Wakfu was posted. Fucking losers. Either that or a bot to auto-delete Miranda but I'm going with beta losers being the mods.
Clearly, since he has older sisters only and no brothers, he's used to being feminine and caring about his appearance.
There's a mod itt deleting any posts that references anything sexual (even though there's no rule against it). It doesn't surprise me that this post was removed so fast.
I regret coming to this board.
Oh come on, if they're already forcing the villain to be a huge retard then what's the point
And yet they leave anime threads and live action movie threads and plenty of videogame discussion threads like when Sonic threads are blatantly centered on the games. The only thing that the mods of Yea Forums always delete is the furry stuff. And you know what? I think it's going to make discussion for this show a pain. That's it. I remember how the mods got all anal about certain females in OK KO because they're anthros. But this show is ALL animals so it's going to be a real pain to discuss anything.
Maybe they will pull a "Toffee" out of this...
The badger is even worse. So fucking generic and boring.
But there's no worse than the fucking villain, they made him an imbecile.
In top of having a retarded design. Is the snake attached to a headless gorilla's body? Did they got that from Sekiro?
Mao Mao is so cool! Adorabat will be a great sidekick!
I don't get what you mean. I'm a tourist on Yea Forums
It's worse than that, they literally are defending trash and treating garbage as if it's something worth protecting. Like even if it's a small segment of an episode it's just a dumb joke. A dumb joke that not even kids will find amusing. Trash is yuck is how kids will react to this. Maybe this show isn't that great all.
Star VS reference
>Adorabat will be a great sidekick!
No. She's annoying. Her being LOUD LOUD LOUD combined with being a fangirl just annoys me.
I think they stole the design of the snake villain from Talespin which did have a snake villain in a metal suit because it wasn't anthropomorphic without it. Even so, yeah being an imbecile is not flattering. The entire show's routine is extremely generic and been there, done that.
>Clearly, since he has older sisters only
Okay...this is a DEAD show already. Sisters? I can already imagine all the Off Model fanart and of course furry porn. That means this show is dead. No way the mods are going to let threads for this show with furry females on board. It's going to be a purge just like World of Gumball threads. I swear this WILL happen the instant one of the sisters is revealed.
Coward
Star Vs. was a shitty show with retarded villains, then enter Toffee, like one of the very best villains in modern cartoons, period. As soon as Toffee left the Star Vs., the show became shit again.
>he dosent want porn of mao maos sisters
What's so cowardly about acknowledging what's going to happen. Hell it would happen even sooner if sleazy art of Adorabat starts being posted where she's an anthro bat girl who looks like Rouge the Bat.
dude you're weak.
That's not annoying, that's SO CUTE!
oh ok, I found Stars Vs a complete snoozefest too, but I dropped it before that guy was introduced.
Best comparison I could come up with would be Wander of Yonder where Lord Hater was a complete loser so they had to introduce a better villain. I bet this is what will happen to this guy, sadly.
Something about this makes me feel like Mao Mao is actually a teenager who's desperate to be as cool as his adult older sisters.
Toffee is (or at least was) the main antagonist of Star vs. the Forces of Evil. In the show, Ludo was the first shown antagonist, using his monster army in order obtain Star's wand. In the middle of the season, Toffee was introduced and wanted to work with Ludo for the wand. The plot twist was that he didn't actually want to work with Ludo and instead backstab him and take over his castle and his minions, all to lure Star into destroying the wand as the start of his master plan to completely destroy magic altogether.
"Pulling a Toffee" simply means that there will be a bigger main antagonist to the show rather than just the established main antagonist, similar to what happened in Wander Over Yonder.
So, were his sisters really cunts or did he just have an inferiority complex compared to them?
What did he mean by this?
It's a modern cartoon. Female characters are Mary Sues while men are emasculated failures.
He explained in a reply that in 2014, the show was called "I Love You Mao Mao". He wanted to make the name "Mao Mao" significant for the show's title.
I was making a veiled joke about Chairman Mao, but okay.
it was never funny
How dare you question ultrasatan.
The answer is most likely yes.
Mao Mao defeated his A-team in the first episode. Also, he is a snake riding an orangutan. The ape head is on his chest.
I liked the badger dude.
Kind of liked the messing of the lazy, big-eater with the sensible voice of reason.
Anyone here bothered by this show's usage of "y'all" or is it just me?
I’m glad to hear it used without the awful rural-South-stereotype accent.
People keep pointing that out but I just don't notice.
Me neither, but I actually say "y'all" IRL, so I'm probably used to it.
I like it, especially coming from Badgerclops. It really fits with him.
is there any official promo art for this show?
Just to give this thread some substance anyone else ship Mao with Nicole from Gumball? I see Mao as a true male alpha who forces Nicole to show her feminine submissive side. Lord knows a worthless obese manchild like Richard isn't going to be good for anything. And besides it keeps their species pure.
Shut the fuck up about Richard, he and Nicole love each other.
If they were not both cats would you still ship them?
Only because Nicole's parental controls are on. Turn them off and she dumps that retarded fat unfunny piece of shit.
Given CN does plenty of crossovers within their series. Yes, I mean stranger crossovers have happened like Batman and Ninja Turtles. So why not this which is between CN originals?
>Only because Nicole's parental controls are on. Turn them off and she dumps that retarded fat unfunny piece of shit.
Stop saying your headcanon like it's truth and watch the Choices you smoothbrain.
I hope they don't dive into unnecessary drama with his sisters. Badgerclops said Mao Mao's fantasy involved them loving and respecting him, implying that his sisters don't love or respect him.
