There are some situations where writers/producers/animators/whateverguys are better able to portray what they see in their head using cartoons and animated series. Some stories should just not be portrayed using Real Living People(tm).
One very good example is the animated series Undergrads.
There are lots of movies and tv shows about college life out there. Some are very good(ie Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, American Pie etc.); but they all have this feeling of cheesyness to them that I can never shake off. You know what I mean. Most of these films about College life are usually marketed towards the 1.0-2.0 GPA average crowd who spend all their time Fucking Off like the characters in these movies.
Apparently none of these people ever had to spend 150 hours working on a complier assignment that was worth 5% like a lot os us. Fuckers.
College is about so much more than drinking and sex. Infact, since I was Canadian AND good looking the drinking+sex parts were the easiest!!!
Getting to the point; these movies never seem to cover it all. College is about growing up and finding your place in the world. Inspirational shizznit. Like learning how to do your own Dam! Laundry and cooking. Those are the single most important things I learned there. But They are never covered.
Then one day I was busy reminising about College so I flipped on this show called Undergrads. Within minites I am slobbering all over the floor; desiring more after watching the ending credits.
Here ends my rant. Laterz to all you Gimpies out there:p
