At one point MTV had several animated shows that were quite good, between Aeon Flux, The Maxx(one of my favorite US animated shows ever), and The Head. I think the block was called Liquid Television, however these were all very surreal whereas this sounds like it's going to be somewhat serious.

Liquid Television was its own show of animated shorts, but many MTV cartoons did spin off from it. Aeon Flux and Beavis & Butt-Head, for example, came from shorts on Liquid Television.

Okay, so it seems like I'm the only one who may be interested in this (because I like parodies, and I'm kinda interested in how things like that work).
So I open this question to the forum: Who should have had control of this: MTV or Spike TV? |

Spike TV? aren't they tghe Star Trek:TNG rerun people? They don't really make original programming. MTV would probably improve if it also stopped making original programs. |

The MTV people aren't ever going to have success with anime until they realize that it doesn't lend itself to their random scheduling. No anime will be able to build a TV fanbase for them unless the fans know when they can find it, same time, same day of the week every week. And they need to realize that anime episodes need to be run in order, not at random.
Or maybe they think anime is no different than Beavis & Butt-head, runnable anytime in any order. (I never could understand the appeal of B&B. It strikes me as an ugly show about nasty people that I wouldn't want to spend my time with.) (^_*) |

Uhm... I don't think they're really trying to make a real authentic anime. It's a parody. So they need not really adhere to any of the general rules of anime, including consistant episode order. Who ever said that MTV could have a success?

Oh god, I hope that they don't go overboard on the "fabulous life of Voice Actors" because it really isn't all that glamourous. Heck, most VAs that I know....and I know a fair few.....have a day job to support their acting....because even though it definitely is great fun to do.....the money won't pay for all the bills. Seriously. I know of one famous VA who works at Poke E Joes bbq restaurant....then there's another who works as a hair dresser at Fantastic Sams and then there's one who is a UPS delivery man, another who works as a scrub in a hospital....the list goes on. VA work is great, don't get me wrong...but you have to have an additional form of income in order to make it in the industry....and I'm afraid that this MTV show will give an over glorified view of VO acting. But that's Seiyuu here in the USA. I'm not sure about the VAs in Japan. But honestly, being a VA does not bring fame and fortune....and it'd be really sad if MTV glorifies it to the point that when new VA talent try to work in the industry they aren't disappointed.....I don't want to ever see that happen. I know a guy who got one small role in VA work and then because he got that role, he figured that he would become a world famous VActor....so he quit his job that paid a pretty penny....unfortunately, the role that he got....was only for a small OVA show and he hasn't had a role since. So, he's out of work on both ends and has been having to pawn his stuff in order to stay afloat. I don't want to see that happen to anyone....because I've seen it too many times. sigh.

What, no one saw the MadTV music video sketch, "The Music's Gone?" That kind of summed up what MTV is nowadays. |
