CN are testing the waters with this new pilot minisode. I've heard that there's already at least one petition to take it to a full series.

I'm picking up on some pretty strong Adventure Time/Gravity Falls vibes from it so far.

Feels more like Over the Garden Wall to me, the cars of the train help make it episodic, but it feels like it would benefit from having a tighter myth arc too.

[up]I thought the same thing, for some reason it gave me an OTGW feeling.

I really hope that if it gets made into a show that 1-It actually goes through its planned ending and 2-That the fart car was the last fart joke on the show.

No, there need to be more fart jokes! You can never have too many!

I'd love to see this as an actual thing. The robot buddy is funny and the premise is inventive (not to mention a creative gimmick).

Fanfiction I hate.

Holy shit, this look amazing! I have high hopes that this will become a miniseries.

Also, apparently the creator, Owen Dennis, worked on Regular Show. If this gets picked up for a miniseries, it'll be the second one made by a Regular Show alum (Long Live the Royals was made by Sean Szeles).

The robot guy reminded me of Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I agree that this has a strong Over the Garden Wall feel to this. Considering how much I like OtGW, I'm very interested in seeing this pilot develop, preferably as a mini-series to keep the Myth Arc tight, but a normal series would be great too.

The setup is Ot GW-ish with an In medias res and the main character trying to find their home from a weird place but the setting, humor, and things that happen are much more Adventure Time.

Bag of food actually made me smile rather than upset me. LOL.

Maybe because a joke at my expense for being so angry is funnier. LOL.

That flatulence car seem to be more a verbal joke...because the actual thing didn't seem be around long.

Though, I wasn't fully paying attention during that part. It just kept getting mentioned.

I so badly want this, we're running out of good shows on CN.

"Selfish" part was my favorite.

I will need time to get used to that this brainy redhead is voiced by Gwen Tennyson, though.

I'd love to see this get its own works page so I can review the pilot episode.

But this show doesn't look too bad to me. It's a mixture of silliness, adventure and mystery, and I happen to like this particular mixture.

I say this as someone who does not like Adventure Time or Gravity Falls.

Seems interesting enough. If it gets picked up I'd watch at least the first half dozen episodes.

I thought Sad-One was played by Maurice Lamarche, until the credits showed it was the Director.

We need more like this. A lot of shows can be great with a meh premise, but a very good one can take a show far. This would make a excellent setting, especially with the dash of Cyberpunk going on. I'd like to see a CN show take more of the science edge of Science Fantasy.

I am hyped for this show. It has a good premise and good artwork.

I liked the pilot, the corgis were ultra cute and the robots are neat. smile

I mean the ally robots are neat, but the antagonist robot was also kinda cool.

MC is tolerable.

Kinda reminded me of adventure time

Well, there was that one AT episode with the infinity train. It's like they made that episode premise into a full series, with original characters.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

I did read scripts for an unproduced Adventure Time episode about a train full of hobos!

[up][up]It was just a bunch of rotating train cars replicating random dungeon generation, not a real infinite train...
