>Netflix has revealed that for the past two years, Youtube creator James Rallison (17.8 million subscribers) has been working on an Odballs series for the platform which will be available to stream later this year.
>Synopsis: Oddballs follows James, a bubble-shaped boy, whose observations on life fuel his comedic rants at everyday annoyances and elevates them to laughably absurd heights. Along with his best friends Max (a talking crocodile) and Echo (a girl who claims to be from the future), James’ ridiculous schemes to question norms often result in disaster.
The future of animation is now.

the only thing keeping netflix relevant is licensed shows and stranger things
They just made it official that they'll be offering cheaper subscriptions with ads.
They borrowed $20 billion to make content, burned through it and only delivered a handful of content that had any pop culture impact, then they had to promise the shareholders they won't borrow more money, meaning they will have to produce content with what they make off subscriptions.
This is a sinking ship, the level of incompetence makes you wonder if some people were paid off by Disney and Amazon.
>They just made it official that they'll be offering cheaper subscriptions with ads.
The problem isn't cheaper subscriptions, it's that everyone has already watched everything good on the platform. Giving cheaper subscriptions is a bandage solution in hopes people don't cancel. People cancel because they've already watched everything good. This will not save them.
and sharing passwords/accounts. lol
also Cobra Kai and Korean show that moms and maybe teenage girls like to watch
why you gotta call out my mom like that?
Because we know she's catching up on the newest episode of terrace house
she doesn't watch that shit, guess yours do
i have never seen a video from this guy, are max the talking crocodile and Echo the girl from the future characters made for the show or not? because it really sounds like that
They are.
I can't think of one recurrent characters fro. m his videos outside of her gf but she is more of an excuse to talk about a subject or to make a joke.
Also I must say these two seems to come out of a Family Guy gag about animated sitcoms.
This is why I despise liberals media. They shill out to the least inoffensive milquetoast person in the world.
Is this the same liberal media that constantly offends the right?
>least inoffensive
They let lesbo brown kid on Disney. They left know exactly what they were doing.
Don't talk about Dave Chapelle that way, anon.

I HATE STORY TIME YOUTUBERS
I HATE STORY TIME YOUTUBERS
I HATE STORY TIME YOUTUBERS
NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE. THE OTHER TRANS TUMBLR COMIC NETFLIX CARTOON SHIT THAT CAME OUT A WEEK AGO WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE BUT PEOPLE JUST KEEP FINDING WAYS TO MAKE WORSE SHIT
WHATS NEXT
WHAT THE FRICK IS NEXT
FRICKING VTUBER GARBAGE?
I honestly love story time YouTubers in small bites, it’s like junk food.
Like all things it depends on the personality, but the Odd1sOut has to be one of the most boring ones that has a sizable audience. If Odd1sOut was a junkfood he would be McDonalds nuggets without any sauce.
I liked Jaiden Animations before the Aroace thing, she was like a virtual girlfriend
I always assumed she was a homosexual or something. I didn't care, but she always struck me as weirdo.
>it’s like junk food.
At least junk food can give you energy, story time Youtube just wastes time and rots your brain.
>FRICKING VTUBER GARBAGE?
Wasn't there already a Vtuber anime announced
Yes, unironically.
You will never be japanese
Is this what Cinemaphile refers to as ‘Full Weimar’?
Reminder they cancelled Bone and many upcoming projects for Big Mouth and this
Odd1sout is a youtube i want to frick
Him and IHE
Holy shit, the storytime animators won.
>Along with his best friends Max (a talking crocodile) and Echo (a girl who claims to be from the future)
>can't even get real friends for his self-insert
kek, would be funnier if it wasn't so sad
Once again SMG4 remains the smartest YouTube animator in the room
i remember when he used to just make funny mario 64 videos. now he makes autistic bullshit full of anime girls.
Only the Mario characters are funny, his "Original characters" are unfunny and out-of-place garbage.
I miss when all the characters in his videos were his friends recolored mario ocs and scatman played once per video
>this chump without a creative bone in his body gets a cartoon because youtube while thousands of greater artists, writers, and others are ignored.
Truly the industry is a popularity contest and nothing more.
Of course, it's all about who you know.
Holy shit, this leak last year was real?
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/122518145/
Damn it was real?
Holy crap someone leaked concept art of this show on Cinemaphile last year
The thing about the female lead being from the future explains why all the kids had sci-fi gadgets in the concept art.
Should have gone with e. Reminds me of Splatoon porn
>https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/122518145/
That was the first thing I thought of, kinda nuts to think about really.
it's weird this show got leaked so much

Hey don't compare annoying orange to odd1sout, annoying orange is actually funny sometimes.
since some of you guys actually grew up watching stuff like Annoying Orange it's hard to tell when you're joking about these things
The Fred show was decent. Got way more respect for him than others like that
>wacky "relatable" protagonist
>smart inventor girl that probably uses her inventions to solve problems or create them on accident
>random alligator comedy relief character that feels shoved in the show
>somehow all of these characters are friends that live in an RV ontop of a giant cactus that can talk
literally none of this makes sense
Also, the antagonist is an evil sentient toaster? What??
Why does it have to have a cartoon story.
Don't people watch it so they can enjoy "relatable" retellings of his childhood?
>that flying girl with popcorn
I'm not moronic right? Her design really clashes with the show. Looks like straight out of Clarence or something
agreed. this cast would've probably been fine if it was just his girlfriend in blob-form or something; or any girl character he's already done in his art style (like the alligator)
I'm guessing mixed character designs might be what they're going for in context to its wackiness.
The main marshmallow blob character doesn't even look like he's from the same show as the girl and the croc. Did they not even try to match the artstyle?
They should've just gone with all of the characters using his blob design, like it is in the videos. Max is really the only one that can be excused because it is a design directly taken from a video.
I guess every character being a blob goes against the creed of "Every character should have a unique silhouette", but they could have done the Gumball thing where every "set" of characters are drawn in a different style. But looking at the other concept art
it just feels like they took the main shirtless blob (and I guess the croc?) and slapped it on a completely different show
Happens all the time…
>tubi originals
Holy shit this looks generic. No wonder kids are opting out of animation.
I was onboard until they showed the human sandy cheeks clone
the adventures of a marshmallow man and his gator bro sounded kinda fun
>and the girl character is generic brown and will probably be trans
God dammit I can already tell DaftPina's gonna fricking shit himself and obsessively make a 6+ part series dissecting it down to the molecular level.
Oh you already know there's gonna be sour grape since Daft already tried and failed to make a cartoon
Daft genuinely isn't allowed to say shit about animation anymore if this is the type of shit he found acceptable to release.
i have never seen this before and i have no idea why he made that in the first place. daft doesnt fit in the "animated series" category at all. kek
I couldn't finish it. Sorry.
Frick that put me to sleep
I was not at all expecting his self insert marshmallow man to be the protagonist, that's kind of surreal.
I'm part of the few people here who actually likes storytime animators
But this makes no sense.
Jame's appeal was it was just him recalling cute little anecdotes of his real life presenting in an exaggerated way for comedy purposes.
Any time James attempts scripted humor, it comes off as forced and just plain unfunny, and that's when he's not litreally adapting shit he made when he was in middle/high school
He never really struck me as a funny guy either. He came off as a really milquetoast dude who watches GameGrumps and Minecraft videos all the time. The only videos of his I kinda liked were the Dark Crystal ones he did, more because I like Dark Crystal rather than because of anything he did in the video.
> a really milquetoast dude who watches GameGrumps and Minecraft videos
that sounds like what assburgers chuds like to watch
He's homies with Egoraptor, and his fanbase is/was mostly teenagers/younger boys who also like Minecraft. His whole shtick was being very kiddie-friendly.
>He's homies with Egoraptor
"homies" is the last thing I'd call a 30-something orbiter that's trying to "build his brand" by doing collabs with somebody he literally has nothing in common with.
This show looks like some generic cartoon that they slapped Jame's character in for marketing purposes. You could replace the marshmallow guy with any generic male lead and the show wouldn't change at all.
I don't understand this sentiment. Jame's content has always been pretty milquetoast humor. He never tries to push any boundaries in his videos, so likewise his show is a pretty safe and generic slapstick kids comedy. Better for him to stay in his element than get in over his head with some pretentious lore show.
Guess it's just frustrating that he's where he is not because he's talented or passionate, or at the top of the animation game, but because he's safe and neutered.
>Jame's content has always been pretty milquetoast humor. He never tries to push any boundaries in his videos, so likewise his show is a pretty safe and generic slapstick kids comedy.
While that may be true, part of me expected that to be more a constraint imposed by having a very limited staff (started as just him) and having to kowtow to youtube's standards of brand safety and what not.
I suspect the kowtowing needed to appease Netflix is even worse. It would explain the deletion sprees he's been going on during the past few years, and if you're making a kids show you can't keep sneaking in yiffing jokes in the background like you can on YouTube, so you have to play it even safer.
>I suspect the kowtowing needed to appease Netflix is even worse.
>Laughs in Big mouth and cuties
But more to the point, considering the how safe and sanitized Arlo was, I imagine that you are correct. That being said, did not know he was on a deletion spree. That seems to be a shame, as animation, even story time animation, probably took a decent amount of work. To just delete feels like a waste. Maybe try an edit or something.
Smiling Friends proved there's a pretty low barrier of entry to get your cartoon picked up
I suspect that James went through a redesign since those leaks came out. The concept art differs a bit (mainly in colors) from the "final" design we've been seeing glimpses of.
Personality: social outcast in middle/high school
more like: popular kid larping as an introvert
They were "artist". No way in hell they were popular. Definitely the kids sitting alone just like you
Daftpina, is that you?
Isn't domics an og before the rest of those guys? I remember seeing his stuff on Smosh's website way back (don't judge me too hard)
Yeah, but he's a fat chink
The blue one fricking infuriates me for whatever reason. I watched one video of his after watching the SrPelo parody and I felt pure annoyance throughout.
Who's the blue one
Do you mean Alex Clark, the Odd1sout clone on the bottom?
fun fat, he was the one that leaked Jaiden's face at vidcon against her explicitly telling him not to, before she made her face reveal video
Jaiden called him out for doing it in her face reveal video but never outright named him.
He also made an animation titled "Jaiden Animations Cry Eating Pizza" after the fact, under the guise of a "twitter request", so there's definitely some animosity between the two.
Kek this is so stupid
>I don’t get it. Is he saying she’s a crybaby?
>Do a little research and find out Jaiden is anorexic
KEK. This Alex Clark guy is pretty based.
Domics is an OG. I believe he was making content when swoozie was still around.
Also Swoozie is the only funny one I’ve watched.
Everyone else is just boring copycats, including Oddsone since I’m pretty sure he copied domincs style of awkward storytelling.
>YouTuber gets TV show that is ultimately far removed from what made them popular
Where have i heard this before?
I felt so happy watching this homosexual get knocked out in that boxing match.
watch it get cancelled by the second season 'cause nobody knows who the frick this guy is
Americans can’t into animation.
There's a special place in hell for storytime "animators"
At one level, I want to laud someone for working towards a goal for many years and finally achieving it. Putting effort into a singular task for years on end isn't easy, and it's nice when hard work is rewarded. But on the other hand...is that it? Of the whole swath of youtube animators you got a netflix deal and this is it? I couldn't even imagine what people like worthikids, umami, vewn, Aaron Long, Betsy Lee, or any of the other youtube animators who are doing solid to great things on the platform, sometimes by themselves. And yet, with an entire team behind you...that's what you came up with?
>doing solid to great things on the platform, sometimes by themselves
*doing solid to great things on the platform, sometimes by themselves, would do with a netflix deal.
I'd mostly just want to see what Ryan Dorin would do if given the same opportunity.
I get the feeling a lot of his magic comes from the cheapness of his work, or at the least a lot of money wouldn't make it better
that said, maybe it would, he already has a really good grasp on storytelling
Starship Genuis/The Flood is a fricking masterpiece
His strengths are the stories he writes, the worldbuilding and especially his music. He's admitted that his animation skills aren't the best, even though they've improved since he started. They mostly serve as a vehicle to tell the story, and he's doing it in Blender because it's more convenient for him. He's mentioned that if he could he'd bring somebody on to make better animated stories.
Fan-works also help show how fricking good the stories and key scenes are.
>Putting effort into a singular task for years on end isn't easy
Yes it fricking is, it's what literally everybody that has a JOB does. James and the rest of these pathetic narcissists became millionaires that never have to work a day in their lives ever again by putting the bare minimum amount of effort into something and getting lucky. There is nothing laudable or special about their work or them as people, and deep down they know this which is why they got so butthurt about the Pelo video.
>never have to work a day in their lives ever again by putting the bare minimum amount of effort into something
that hurts
>Putting effort into a singular task for years on end isn't easy
Maybe I should have specified that I meant putting years of effort towards incrementally improving at a specific hobby or skill. People who work jobs for years on end usually plateau fairly quickly, at least from my experience. Part of this is because generically doing the same tasks over and over again don't necessarily yield successive substantive gains, Hell, in nearly all cases route repetition leads to a skill plateau very quickly. There's a reason why people don't get arbitrarily better at typing despite some people doing it every day of their lives for years on end. There's actually some interesting studies based on this very phenomenon that have been bastardized in the popular literature under the meme "the 10000 hour rule". In any case, I have no clue what story time animators do in their day to day lives, they may indeed be exactly as you say. I was just making a broad statement about how, in general, I like to not putdown those who, at least seem to be, trying to get progressively better at the things they are passionate about.
>I meant putting years of effort towards incrementally improving at a specific hobby or skill
They haven't done that either, they started out sucking at art and they still suck at art, they just have money to pay people now. I have no idea what the frick you're talking about with the rest of that bullshit, if you do something every day for years of course you get better at it unless you're actually moronic.
>They haven't done that either, they started out sucking at art and they still suck at art, they just have money to pay people now.
I mean, anon, I literally just said that I made that as a blanket statement, not something that was specifically targeted at James or any story time animators. Since I am pretty ignorant of what these people do and what work or lack there of goes into the production of their videos, I figured it'd be better to err on the side of caution and preface my opinion with a statement that disappointment was squarely focused on what I gleaned from the video and the material posted in this and past threads.
As for the other stuff, it wasn't at all a statement about James. Instead, it was just me mentioning that I like it when people who make consistent, substantive improvements in skills related to their passions because it can be difficult to do after a point using only route repetition. I used the example of typing to point out that, despite most people having typed nearly everyday for years on end, studies have found that the speed and accuracy of their typing levels off fairly quickly. With regards to the above, generically repeating the same tasks over and over again provides nominal gains over time. Conversely, consistent, substantive gains over long periods of time require one to go far beyond route repetition. It requires one to deliberately push themselves past their perceived limits over and over again, usually failing many times in the process before any tangible results materialize. Therefore, people who are able to truly hone their craft are those that have displayed true grit, perseverance, and drive, and it's nice to see that rewarded. James and his ilk may be like Bendis, putting years into his craft with no noticeable increase in quality, but I was stating my admiration for people like Sim who improved with age.
I didn't think you would. And frankly, I don't care if you do. Do whatever you like anon.

There’s a special place in hell for these Storytime homosexuals and the morons who enable them.
Like it or not, this is the future of Cartoons.
Our animation industry has sold itself out with literal shit like nuPPG and TTG.
I feel really bad for putting off watching resistance
the puppetry was god tier, watching the og and AoR back to back shows just how impressive puppet tech has come it's nuts
also in the absence of everything else SkekMal singlehandedly carried the entire show it's fricking insane
I was incredibly worried that it'd be pozzed and they'd ruin the series by making it pozzed, but they managed to restrain themselves surprisingly well.
They know their shit when it comes to puppetry, and the directing and writing was good enough that they were able to do really powerful scenes. They even gave Barnaby Dixon something to do.
what the hell is a storytime youtuber?
People who can't draw yet makes tons of money by exploiting the low attention span of a zoomer

Dont be too ecstatic. I seriously predict this thing will only last for a season or two, like so many other YouTuber shows like Annoying Orange or Fred.
Even if it does only last 2 seasons, it'll really rub it into Daft's egotistical brain that James and other storytime animators will always be more successful than him no matter what.
Daft sucks at animation, he sucks at writing, both Saturdays Off and the next pilot he's developing are going to flop hard-fricking-core, and no amount of fame-whoring or twitter leg-humping the Pan Pizza crew is going to get him an "in" to the industry.
I want those grapes to be as sour as Fumaric acid when the time comes for Daft to make a video series deconstructing this mindless kid's cartoon to cope with his failure.
>and no amount of fame-whoring or twitter leg-humping the Pan Pizza crew is going to get him an "in" to the industry.
Its interesting that you mention that, because MANY artists in the industry hate these people with a passion. Not because they are offended by their criticisms of the shows they work. But because they see them for what they are: wannabes who see themselves as “temporarily embarrassed showrunners” whose genius ideas will one day make into the big screen. In reality most of these critics have zero idea of how to animate or even draw. Have never taken any kind of art class and have ZERO fricking idea as to how an animated production actually works, like when that idiot Mr Enter seriously believed that pilot were overrated, because they dont represent the best that the show has to offer, yeah no shit moron, its supposed to sell the show, nothing more.
I remember one time a couple of industry artists on Twitter were shitting on these idiots because they kept sending them demo reels of their “work” and it was just their stupid critic reviews with their crappy arms crossed avatars just barely animates
Kudos to Pan for making a pilot anyway, and having it look pretty decent.
>I remember one time a couple of industry artists on Twitter were shitting on these idiots because they kept sending them demo reels of their “work” and it was just their stupid critic reviews with their crappy arms crossed avatars just barely animates
Got the sauce to that tweet?
Damn I forgot to screencap it, but I think one of the artists was Michael Rucco (I think thats his name).
>LOOK AT ME, I'M JOINING THIS SINKING SHIP
I don't care.
Dude, James, I like you, but Netflix is dying at this point. This is like being proud you published a book with Penguin.
I remember discovering TheOdd1sOut back when he had under 100,000 subscribers. There was a certain charm to the early video. It wasn't just story time animation it was about whatever was on James's mind at the time. (quite of few of which are deleted now)
I still watched the channel over the years but as time went on I stopped caring less and less as the video seem to lean more towards the younger demographic that was watching. (I actually prefer Jaiden Animation because her animation style and video topics feel like they aren't aimed at just 10 year olds)
I predict James will stop uploading on his youtube channel except for promotion videos for the show and then come back when the show is cancelled after 2 seasons.
Jaiden also suffers from the same problem as Odd1s, where her sense of humor is pretty neutered. The nuzlocke videos were neat, tho.
Yeah but she’s attractive
Her character has lots of porn though, which seems to upset her.
She made a big stink about it too, even though the biggest chunk of her audience is horny teenagers.
Sauce?
It was a few years ago, she might've taken the video down since I can't find it atm.
Aww damn. Anyway I’m thinking of drawing some porn attic her giving a guy a foot job, might be cool
Please do that, there’s never enough art of her giving footjobs
She's stated she's moved past it but acknowledges there's nothing she can do about that type of art being made. She just doesn't want it to clog up search results or recommendations for young fans and people who avoid it. Like keeping it to imageboards and not YouTube videos going on and on about how disgusting it is.
literally what is the appeal of these people who make up fake ass stories with bad animation?
His stories were so basic that if he made them up, he managed to make them mundane enough that it's hard to tell.
Its RELATABLE
They are basically wannabe comedians. Because like comedians they tell funny stories, only unlike comedians, they arent funny. But they are relatable to sheltered zoomers.
Also they cant animate for shit, so some hire actual animators to do the animation for them.
They draw in the general masses who don't really care about or pay attention to YouTube animators.
TheOdd1sOut is just discount Jaiden, who is just discount Domics, who is just a fully animated version of Swoozie.
Why are you all surprised that this dude sold out? Netflix is a sinking ship and he's a lifeboat.
Every time someone does the krabby patty training video joke I actually want to kill myself I liked that episode but that fricking joke has been run so hard into the ground.
Youtube is trying to hide the negative comments
Who cares, It won't have shit on Smiling Friends
What the frick happened to this industry? If it isn't sterilized zoomershit like Molly, COTC, and whatever this flop will be called it's poozed shows like Owl House.
Reminder shit like this will continue to happen until California is purged or dealt with
Just nuke LA, the rest of the state isn’t so bad. In fact the countryside area is basically just Texas/Oklahoma, and SF isn’t that bad. The problem is that Californian cities attract people who get high off their own farts
Actual native born Californians are fine. It's the narcissists who move there to go into entertainment or tech that are buttholes. It's a concentration of every egotistical lunatic in the country.
>Our service is shit! What do we do?
>Let's add more shit to the pile!
>Great idea!
Well if you guys are so smart where is YOUR cartoon??
I'm smart by not going into animation
Love how people are defensive about this but probably would've been a lot quiet if it was another Big Mouth type show
That wouldn't happen
His follow and the story time "animation" community will shill this
just imagined the storytime community defending a new Big Mouth spinoff because Jaiden Animations was hired for it
>First thing in the video is a stolen Spongebob joke
What will streaming services take from seeing netflix go down like this? How will they react and change out of fear?
If Jaiden got a show instead everyone would cream their pants.
why do people like that b***h? she's annoying
You think all woman are annoying though, it’s not for you
so its for gay boys? no wonder
The only good thing to come from Netflix in the last 5 years is Baki and Kengan Asura and they didn't even finish Kengan
I've never heard of this guy before and none of his stuff looks good
You're not in his target demographic.
