Letting you know what's indie and what isn't.
Aw, did your Disney TVA friends Kiana and Dana not want to share their Australia/BCG money with you?
Being a smaller creator , getting my project out there is tough. Trying to reach the vampire, twilight, and black anime nerd fans that want to see a black girl at the center of the story and vampire romance haha. If you're out there give my pilot a shot!
If you're a Twilight, Card Captor Sakura, Vampire romance and black magical girl fan, check out the Indie Animatic pilot "The Three Tomes

Tammy, after gaining the powers of a witch from an ancient tome must search for 13 magical spirits, while dealing with a vampire love triangle.

Because that doesn't get views. Everyone wants to be Bojack Horseman or Promare minus what makes either of those good.
A big problem I notice with indie animation is how there is really nothing for all audiences

Why does all indie animation have to be dark edgy stuff only adults can enjoy? Where’s all the wholesome stuff?

Why can’t there be more indie shows out there similar to Phineas and Ferb?

Hard to trust other board artists since they might not understand limited animation. PowerPuff and anime are great at that.

If I had more money & crew, I could probably fund like 4 eps of Loki for the price of 1 big indie animation

Wheels and Roses is a CHEATER.
The creator has numerous connections with Cartoon Network, DreamWorks, A24, Netflix, and Sanrio.

Dude who thinks the Phineas and Ferb animators are literally Hitler for being crunched against their will is a stan for the fucking rapist, not surprised in the slightest.
ngl they need to do reveal his art channel immediately

he needs to live draw everyone in the tower

And yet they're the only ones who can actually afford it while everybody else either is losing their home or has to coast by on industry big names as a bargaining chip to get people to finance it.
Lackadaisy IS indie

Glitch Productions is just pitching in to help pay for the show

Because guess what

Animation is hella expensive
November 14, 2025 at 12:13 AM
Lackadaisy is NOT indie.
It got scooped up by Glitch Productions, who have major investors in the Australian government, Epic Games, and Amazon, and that combined with the utterly garbage state of Hollywood and social media has given them a monopoly on animation.
November 13, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Lmao that's never happening, why would Kevin, Luke, Viv, and Dana want to share the spoils of their victories with the filthy masses? Indie should be for Hollywood nepo babies and industry plants only. Missed out on pre-COVID, pre-AI Hollywood? TFB, loser!
Someday, I hope indie creators stand up to those big corporations and save those who’ve been affected by their bad decisions.
November 13, 2025 at 5:59 PM
People like you are the reason why animation has turned into homogeneous trend-chasing slop and why smaller artists without flashy budgets have been permanently screwed.
Okay, #HazbinHotel season 2 was damn good before, but these last couple episodes are suddenly turning this into legit peak TV.
November 13, 2025 at 5:55 PM
No it isn't you stupid idiot, indie has been monopolized by two studios being funded by Amazon and foreign governments while everybody else is getting fucked over by YouTube and capitalism, indie is NOT sustainable, it is NOT the future, and EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SCREWED OUT OF THEIR ANIMATION DREAMS.
Bob Iger and David Zaslav are reasons why indie animation is booming and why big corporations continue to fail.

Strawberry Vampire is a CHEATER.
Goldie and Hilda are industry productions streaming on Apple TV+ and Netflix, and Brundige has been working in the industry for over a decade.
‘Strawberry Vampire’, a new pilot animatic by ‘Goldie’ creator and ‘Hilda’ head writer Emily Brundige has released on YouTube.

It follows Franny Fragaria, a young vampire as she tries to fit in America.

Far-Fetched is a CHEATER.
It's technically indie, but it's selling itself based on its connections to Glitch Productions, a studio with huge investors in the form of Screen Queensland and Epic Games who have a monopoly on animation.
November 13, 2025 at 2:23 AM
I'd be proud of my son too if he became a huge success in animation despite having no talent for it to the point he needs to leech off of like three different women at this point.
November 13, 2025 at 2:21 AM
This looks like the worst fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
November 13, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Because Webtoon sucks ass and has become YouTube for comics.
November 13, 2025 at 2:14 AM
Yeah whatever you and every other self-proclaimed "free thinker" is still gonna see that shit opening day, along with some tweets pathetically begging Pixar to give you a job on their latest movie.
November 12, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Cuz heaven forbid people want to raise awareness of scummy behavior by a very well-known individual who constantly dodges responsibility for it.

Lexie the Superfox IS indie!

This looks like a job for someone else...

Lozza being Quartering's strongest soldier as per usual.

Meanwhile when Crash Bandicoot is merely hinted to not be completely dead and buried y'all go "ZOMG NEW CRASH GAME, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY~!!!11!!!!1!"
At this point, fuck Rockstar and fuck GTA VI. No game is worth financially supporting a union busting corporate entity, regardless of quality.
November 10, 2025 at 5:37 AM
Sad how this is what makes headlines and not your rampant bigotry, flippant, romanticized attitude towards SA, and horrific abuse of the people underneath you.

Loki IRL IS indie!
Loki IRL Ep 2 Script is basically done

Writing a few more eps while talking to a more consistent animation team

Shorter and more focused script
