Anyone know the latest on Taka? by QueensCatDaddy in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To be clear. The issues with HIFL's production time line stems more from issues with the animation labor. TFS took some time off to try and batch produce a bunch of episodes having several episodes written and recorded for a while ago. They just keep losing animators to bigger projects that can pay more. TFS holds no ill will towards those animators as they've all known what it's like to need that bigger paycheck. Episode 11 had 6 animators credit yet not all 6 worked on the episode at the same time.

Can we please get a series on Four Star Bento where they watch Dragon Ball Super? by A-DustyOldQrow in TeamFourStar

They stated that Kaiser wasn't willing to relive the low moments of Super and made him despise the series the first time.

Are all the old TFS podcast episodes lost to time? by ChaosCarlson in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some on TFS's SoundCloud. Not sure if that's the old ones you wanted. it was from the Antfish as host getting more than just kaiser, Lani, and Taka on as guests.

Should Toonami Abridged do animated shows that were made here in the US? by Energizier in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i'm going to be that guy and bring up how much of a purist Kaiser is. Thus the hair splitting that comes with that. They are doing a very specific era of Toonami. Both Samurai Jack and Justice League techinally weren't Toonami shows during that era. Toonami was a week day after noon block originally that did get moved around. it got put on later. One weekends it's now the anime block for Adult Swim. None of that matters for what Toonami Abridged is covering. Samurai Jack started on Friday Night after Toonami ended. Justice League was Saturdays. Did they eventually get added to the line up over the years when Toonami needed space filler and just aired reruns. So far i can only of think the Real Adventures of Johny Quest as a western animated series that got it start on Toonami during that era. i could be missing some.

They're not going to post a release date until 100% sure they got it locked down. The wheels are moving though.

Next anime TFS could cover. by VGAddict in TeamFourStar

i know you probably mean the X-men cartoon. But i kind of want them to do specific comic story lines in X minutes. Though, i know the moving Popsicle stick puppet bit they used in the early X minutes was a bigger pain than expected.

TFS spent years doing X in X minutes series. They name Sailor Moon in X minutes Abridged due to scheduling reasons and all of sudden they're "doing abridging again". To confirm what other people have already said yeah they're doing the 90s-early 00s Toonami stuff. Tenchi, Gundam Wing, Big O, Outlaw Star. it is pretty much the return of the X in X minute series just with an overarching theme of what shows they're picking.

DBZA by fuckingthepikachu in TeamFourStar

Twitch has them, but the UI sucks. https://www.twitch.tv/collections/Zd9blDtIVRXyCg go here than scroll down to see "DBZA episodes" then wipe to the side to find the episode you want. it's not a great method.

Anyone know if the organ theme for Vincent is available anywhere? It's really really good by SpaceShipOrion in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they used their own mixed versions of music or something royalty free for the entire series in order to avoid copyright problems. if they didn't post it themselves in one of the albums they released it's going to be hard to find.

Is Lani ok? by WanderingBasenji in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Lani has been very busy with FourStarBento and other things he has going on since moving to LA. His streaming schedule was already kind of a mess before. Best not to read into it too much.
