I will share the hell outta this, because clearly she has worked painstakenly to make this happen and she deserves all the respect for the hard work put into it!

Can’t wait for this to come out! I’ve been a big follower and am so happy for her to finally make this!

Is it okay to make a tv tropes page for it, or would it/will it be too adult to allow on the site? It does say it's an adult comedy/musical series, but whether it will show nudity or such is another thing.

Should be fine from the looks of it

Uh... there's plenty of works that show nudity that have pages on this site.

I'm not sure if they mean things like hardcore sex when they say adult but I don't think so.

Judging by the trailer, the F word is dropped, at the very least. Also, it will feature an ex porn star as a main character.

I ran into the trailer by accident, BTW, and that got me interested. I'm a sucker for well-made colourful animation, and it looks like it will fit the bill.

You'd be surprised what sometimes shows up in Youtube recommandations.

Kind of funny a lot of people ran into the trailer by complete accident according to the comments.

I happen to come across it on my You Tube page.

It's the darndest (or is it damnedest? Heh, hell humor) thing. I found it because it was on my recommended list on YouTube as well.

For some reason, it makes me think of 90's-era Warner Bros. Animation. Like, it's as if you were making The Haunted World of El Superbeasto with the energy of Animaniacs rather than Ren & Stimpy if that makes some remote sense.

In any case, it's gotten me piqued.

The animation/character designs are gorgeous. It looks super cool.

They wouldn't let them show hardcore sex on youtube in the first place, would they...?

No, that's banned on youtube. I'm not even sure how this question came up, but yes, Youtube allows sexual humor and mature content and cursing on its site, and doesn't allow porn or outright nudity on there.

Shit, if it didn't allow cursing they'd have to spend days getting rid of all the Let's Players on there not explicitly aimed for children.

I'm not even sure how this question came up, but yes,

It's mainly because we don't know just how adult this show will get. It takes place in Hell, there are 2 cases in the trailer alone where characters curse, and it features an ex-prostitute.

I just hope they don't kill off/maim anyone I like.

I love her art style.

Seen the trailer I'm absolutely hyped for this series and intrigued what kind of the direction that the series will take by the by.

Vivienne herself stated that the most shocking thing we’ll see is violence aside from that there won’t be anything too explicit, but to be honest I’ve seen shows that are way more violent, gory, and sexual that were allowed on tv tropes, I mean hell if devil man crybaby and big mouth are allowed than I think hazbin hotel is more than fair game. The stuff you guys pointed out are relatively tame compared to those.

Not trying to be mean, but it’s not like tv tropes and You Tube havent allowed worse

Indeed Vivzepop doesn't seem like the type of person who would go bonkers-NSFW!

I find it ironic that the demon who was literally born in hell is more good natured and optimistic than the ones who used to be human.

COMMENTARY ON HUMAN NATURE!

Well to be fair, in one scene it shows that she might not necessarily be above it all, so I get the feeling she will show a darker side.

Context, maybe. For her, Hell is where she was born; it's her hometown and she wants to see it prosper. Dead human souls have the context of "Well, that's it. I lost my life in the world of the living, and now I'm doomed for eternity. Fuck it, let's raise some hell; things can't get any worse for me than this!"

Dead sinners have nothing to lose anymore, basically.

Pretty much this, she (Charlie is her name I think) doesn't know anything but Hell but the dead sinners knew something other than Hell. She also clearly has a more demonic side judging by one of the scenes we are shown.

I am curious about this and I love the designs. This a story about demons and Hell but the designs all look unique and colorful. I have been keeping an eye on Vivzie for awhile but didn't expect this..

This popped up on my recommended list because I liked one of her earlier animations, the music video she made for Kesha's Die Young. Been kinda watching her stuff on and off ever since. I really like her animation style, very smooth and curvy, not too many sharp angles or blockiness.
