An Animorph webcomic.

http://www.charreed.com/Animorphs/

How many of you guys are reading it?

>>44905713
I AM NOW!

Oh wow this page came out today...

>>44905817
it actually updates?!

Reporting in.

>>44905832
>>44905713
>>44905817
YOU HAVE PIQUED MY INTREST
As if I needed another fucking webcomic to keep up with

From the previous thread:

>>44905669
They never said. I think Jake was just scared of using the Howler because he saw all the Yeerk hosts as victims and didn't want to sonic scream them.

But seriously? One howl could have leveled the entire Yeerk pool.

>>44905817
>sad Jake
d'awww

>>44905713
Oh wow
I think I'm scared by how the art isn't half bad at all. That means it's gonna be full of weird fetishes doesn't it. . .

Fuck, I glanced at this thing and thought it was Homestuck general.

I thought this looked familiar.
Then I realized that this is the first update in a year and a half, and that I've read the rest of it before.

>>44905713
So is this a fan comic? Is it licensed by Applegate or Scholastic? It looks like a word for word re-make of the first book so far.

ya know.
whenever I see the blue box my brain screams ELIACUBE

Must read now!

this is neat, but I'm a little worried how the previous page was posted nearly a year ago, and the page before that was posted several months before it.

I get the feeling we won't get the next one for a long while.

>>44906163
Yeah it's been a while. Fan art is funny though.

>>44905909
Ah shit, I missed a decent Animorphs thread? Those are so rare too. At least I caught one on /v/ like a week or two ago

>>44905713
That update schedule isn't looking too good

Favorite books?

I don't remember all of the numbers exactly so I won't post them to confuse people, but I do know the plots.

Rachel first becoming a bear and them destroying the mini sun.
The brown sugar oatmeal drugs.
David.
The north pole.
The howlers.
Most of the chronicle books.
Visser.
Rachel in control of the team.
The final books, from the DNA tracking to the finale, though the last book went downhill pretty fast.

>>44906466
on /v/?
is anamorphs that thing that all boards can discuss peacefully?

like dbz?

>>44906616
Most boards can talk about porn pretty peacefully. Until Sasha Grey is mentioned.

>>44906670
Choose your next words carefully, ser.

>>44906616
Probably. It kinda turned into a 'kid books that were actually kind of fucked up' thread, but with a focus on animorphs part way through

Did anyone read the everworld books she did as well? My bro had some but I never bothered with them.

>>44906825

I had two or three. They were a lot more focused on hormones and sexual attraction. I don't remember much more than several paragraphs of OH GOD THIS WOMAN IS SO HOT. Also a song about vikings.

I loved those books when I was a kid. It kind of was fucked up stuff at times, but in all the right ways. It didn't treat kids like they were stupid.

>>44906505

One of my favorites is when they go to the governor and finally decide to bring the war into the public.

It felt like an actual victory for once and I like that we got a reasonable figure of authority with it.

>>44906505
>David
God damn that shit was dark. I always thought it was FAR more evil to trap him as a mouse on a tiny island than to just kill him.

My favorite books were the Chronicles as well. Particularly the Andalite Chronicles.

>>44907006

Yeah, it got fucking DARK at times, and even at the end when they won, it wasn't a "yay every problem is solved and we're all happy again!"

War is hell and it didn't cut any corners in actually showing that.

>>44907109

I'm a big fan of the Megamorphs book when they got dropped into Dinosaur times.

So the age old question. Who's your favorite Animorph?

>>44907145
That was one of the great dark ones where they let the entire race die because "time travel."

>>44907205
Jake because I'm boring.

>>44907205

I liked Tobias a lot when I was younger because, y'know brooding loner stereotype.

Now I have to say Marcos, actually.

>>44907205
I thought we had agreed to this one already

>Ax

>>44907205
I was always a fan of Rachel, you know, girls need "badass role models" and all that .

If I read it again, I'd probably appreciate Marco more than I did.

>>44907328
Ax doesn't count until like the end, officially he was a member of the Andalite military, not an Animorph. Until he decides he officially sides with his friends and shit.

>>44907345

Rachel went beyond "badass role model" and was shown to be downright bloodthirsty at times.

>>44907109
>andalite in a car

he can run at 30km/hr

plus they are claustrophobic

>>44907205
Tobias. I always like the underdog character who is shit on by everything but refuses to give up. Which made reading his books where he almost did just give up really gut-wrenching.

>>44907345
>>44907392
Let's be honest, Rachel was nuts.

>>44907272
Wasn't Tobias stuck as a hawk for a while? Did he ever get out of that?

...How did Animorphs end, anyway? I was so young at the time, I couldn't keep up with reading for pleasure.

>>44907205
Marco was number 1 with Rachel coming in for a close second.

>>44907452
>>44907392
>>44907345
That was the greatest thing about the series, the differing opinions each character had on themselves and others. Read Marco's books and he's convinced Rachel is a blood-thirsty psychotic who loves the war. Read Rachel's book and she's genuinely terrified but takes it upon herself to be a bulwark of "courage."

>>44907452
I'd wager that there are quite a few people that would respond to getting super powers in the same way that she did.

>>44907525
Yeah, Tobias was trapped as a hawk all through the series. However, he was granted his morphing ability back and access to his own human DNA through time-travel and Alien-God shenanigans.

>>44907396

That's why it's open-top.

>>44907525

Basically the Ellimist pulled a few strings to get his human self as a morph he could do near the end.

But hawk was still his base form and the same two-hour rule applied while he was human. If he stayed human, he wouldn't be able to morph ever again and would've been out of the fight for good.

>>44906825
I did
they were okay, I guess
ended kind of abruptly

>>44907525

It ends on a cliffhanger.

>>44907571
Of course, but they were also kids thrown into a horrible war. The fact that she carried herself so well outside of battle for the most part is impressive

>>44907396
>>44907586
It was also the Taxxon homeworld and he had hundreds of miles to cross. You don't want to take that on foot...hoof.

>>44907205
Tobias and Rachel. I cried when Rachel died.

>>44907525
You should really read them, but if you don't want to i'll spoiler your answers.

Tobias: Is eventually allowed to gain the ability to morph through a gift from "god" and is sent back in time the day before the construction site so that he can acquire his human form again

The story: After 50 books shit gets real. Their identities are revealed, the Yeerks steal the morphing cube and gain the ability to morph on their own. With the help of the robots, free hork bajir, Tom (who has become power hungry), the US Army, and Taxxin revolutionaries, the Animorphs take the Yeerks down just as the Andalite fleet shows up. Tom tries to escape on the Blade Ship but Rachel infiltrated the Blade Ship under Jake's orders and murders Tom before being killed herself. Years pass and Ax disappears in the "unknown regions of space." The surviving animorphs (except for Cassie, on Jake's insistence) go to rescue him on a small ship they named "the Rachel" only to discover that Ax is onboard the long lost Blade Ship and is the host of some unknown evil force. They're outgunned and not fast enough to get away, so Jake puts on a crazy smile and orders them to ram the Blade Ship with the Rachel. The End.

So when Tobias acquired his old human morph, why didn't he get stuck in that morph and then use the cube to get his powers back? Did he really enjoy defaulting as a hawk that much or was it addressed as being impossible?

>>44907806
This, these, and that.

>>44907886
People trapped in a morph normally can't regain the ability to morph. The Eliminist gave Tobias a freebee and let his hawk body gain the ability to morph again, but if Tobias let himself get trapped a second time, he'd be unable to gain the ability to morph again.

>>44907830
Didn't Tobias completely abandon his humanity when Rachel died and disappear into the woods to die as an animal?

>>44907830
That ended fucked up my childhood something awful.

>>44907886
His life was shit before. He didn't really think he had much to go back to, and he refused to abandon the fight. He didn't enjoy being a hawk.

>>44907946
yep

>>44907946

More or less. Jake meets up with him again, but he mostly lives as a hawk.

>>44907987
>didn't enjoy being a hawk
Sure he did, once he got over eating living things in #23.

>>44907946
Sure, but Jake brought him back in.

is this comic based on the old Animorph book series?

what do I need to read this stuff, and what do I click to download?
http://filesmelt.com/dl/MyZip.zip

>>44908117
direct translation to comic form

>>44908143
click the MyZip.zip link in the bottom righ

I wonder how many people though to "acquire" a child and then morph into them when they're in their 70s. Two lives for the price of one.

>>44907806
she wouldn't be able to handle the peace.

also, With the influx on new species there's a high probability that we'd advance technologically at astounding speeds and it wouldn't be long until A new war breaks out.

>>44908389
Well of course not, the book basically ends with a new war breaking out.

Shit I want to reread the books now.

>>44907538
It was great how in Marco's books, he would say that Jake was much better with women than him, and in Jakes books he would say the opposite. Stuff like that really added depth to the characters.

>>44908389
I still think she could have joined the army and trained soldiers in morphing strategies.

Then they would have had one of those stereotypical scenes where Marco and Ax are strolling around some seedy neighborhood and they find an underground morphing fight club where some grizzly bear is fighting five wolves at once, and then the bear demorphs and Rachel walks off with 20k in gambling money.

>>44908366
Imagine how people would acquire celebrities and then immediately do porn.

>>44908487
>>44908487
I'm on number 4 at the moment.
Joey wants extra fish.

>>44908552
Touching a celebrity would be even more frowned upon.

>>44908543
Holy shit haha

>professional wrestling federation composed entirely of morphers- they still wear outrageous spandex costumes

>>44907205
Rachel, followed closely by Jake
>that feel of horror when re-reading the books and you remember how you used to ship Rachel and Ax
>the shame

>>44908746
I would probably watch the WWE then, just to see all the crazy intros/moves they could think of while morphed. Flying in from the rafters, turning into a gorilla to slam people into tables.

>>44908231
Can someone put them up somewhere else?
I can't seem to DL from that website

While you guys are all reading the series, you might want to check out cinnamonbunzuh.blogspot.com

Two people did a retrospective, and it's really quite funny.

>>44908975
THANK YOU!
this'll make my time in bed due to cellulite much more bearable!

>>44909080
How has cellulite made you bedridden, if my prying can be tolerated?

I used to read these books to my mother and younger brother on the way to school. I had to skip over the morphing sequences though, since they gave him nightmares.

They really were quite detailed.

>>44905738
Is that a Vort, Redwood?

>>44909179
it's in my foot, the pain and swelling make it difficult to walk without extreme pain.
oh wait, I meant cellulitis, not cellulite.
>>44909258
it's bacterial infection because of a cut I got on my footfoot

>>44909472
>footfoot

You pediphile.

They should have done an Everworld comic instead considering the travesty that was the series ending. (Or lack thereof.)

>>44909608
hahaha.

anyways, let's continue discussion from the previous thread.
what would post Animorphs 4Chan be like?

>>44909710

a much more fucked up and confusing place

>>44909710
Lots and lots and lots of morphed animal porn

>>44909710
Aliens coming to earth and asking lots of questions.

They are called newfags and criticized for their ignorance.

>>44909805
There's a web comic.

>>44909817
that'd be hilarious

>>44909834
And since the webcomic is a direct adaptation of the books, well...

>>44909710
/an/ and /d/ would become the most popular boards. There would also be a /xeno/ board, which would be full of aliens talking about how good things taste, humans pretending to be aliens, and WH40K threads that confuse and scare younger aliens.

>>44909932
do you even rule 7

>>44910006
Someone in the last thread pointed out moot would have to make a /taste/ board after /ck/ got overrun by andalites. I lol'ed.

>>44909710
/tg/ would be almost completely dead due to the entire population of the board being too busy jerking off to /xeno-soc/ to ever post.

QUESTION: what were the Megamorphs books?

>>44910161

choose-your-own-adventure books I think.

>>44910161
Like really big books that had time travel, dinosaurs and some weird aliens.

>>44910161
Megamorphs were giant books that starred all six characters point of view. There were four of them.

The first book was about Visser Three enslaving a morph hunting monster and it hunting the animorphs. This was the only one of the megamorphs books mentioned in the main series.
The second book was about the Animorphs going back in time and turning into dinosaurs.
The third book was about a time traveling Yeerk that destroyed the timeline and the Animorphs had to stop him.
And the third book was about Jake cracking under all the pressure and taking the offer of the "devil" to retcon everything that happened so far in the series and they avoid going into the construction site. Shit gets real, but everything gets fixed.

Here's a question: Anyone remember the TV show?

>>44910518
I try not to.

>>44910518
It was turrible
But I lapped it up, 9 year olds are not well known for being critical.
I think I can even still remember the theme song, damn. And it had an Ashmore!

>>44910518
I remember that one existed but I don't remember the details.

>>44910636
I can literally only remember Chapman's general appearance, Ax and Visser Three having an Andolite duel, and also Ax's face in the opening credits covered in food.

>>44910518
Yeerk Pool - An enormous complex spanning dozens, maybe hundreds, of city blocks below ground and capable of servicing thousands of controllers. One of unknown thousands across the globe.

Just put some dry ice in a below-ground hot tub and call it a day. Good enough!

>>44910518

agghhhh nostalgia

I hate to be the guy that ships (no really, I hate it), but were any of them together besides Jake and Cassie?

>>44910640
It had no budget and wasn't very good.

>>44910518
I've seen lots of the episodes, but I think they stopped making VHS tapes. I saw one semi good episode, which was when Tobias found out about his dad.

>>44910763
>Ax and Visser Three having an Andolite duel
Christ, I remember feeling embarrassed for everyone involved while watching that. Two guys in cheap blue fuzz sissy wrestling, filmed close in and from the waist up only. Bladed tails? Eh, kids are stupid and won't remember that.

>>44910790
I dimly recall they used the same shot of a hork-bajir for every fight. That and some stock footage of a tiger or something.
Seriously, why wasn't it a cartoon from the start? They must have known that shit was unfilmable with 90s kid show budgets.

>>44910808
Rachel and Tobias had a whole star-crossed bird lover thing.

>>44910864
Fucking good question. Can you imagine a world where we got an Animorphs cartoon?

>>44910808
Rachel and Tobias.
As much as they could be.
Also Rachel and Marco dated in a parallel universe.
And Tobias had a big hate boner for a girl named Taylor who tortured him almost to insanity.

>>44910808
Rachel and Tobias had a deeper thing than even Jake and Cassie. Whole tragic "doomed from the start" thing.

>>44910518
>animorphs fanart
why does this creep me out?
I guess I never looked any up and I've never really seen any before, and back when I read the books the internet wasn't the way it is now.

I don't know how to feel and I don't understand why it makes me vaguely uncomfortable

maybe because the series was so fucked up and I never finished it and there was never any closure, just pain and terror

>>44910946
Oh shit, that book. That was almost kind of hard to read when I was a kid.

>>44910808
Tobias and Rachel.

>>44910864
>>44910918
Good luck getting anything but a watered down version. And that's if you're lucky. Animorphs was dark as fuck

>>44910946
Taylor was also a Controller.

>>44910967
They all live happily ever after.
And by that I mean, they die, get absorbed by a monster, retire with a bit of a broken heart, or fight a seemingly suicidal battle in space.

>>44910967
I'm uncomfortable that there isn't more.

>>44910918
And a movie, a mid-00s CGI reboot that was somehow worse, followed by an actually decent reboot maybe?
Aww man, if some coke-addled exec had made the sensible decision we could be living in an era of the gritty animorphs reboot. We could be the dickish older fans looking down on people who never read the original books. We could be arseholes... damn.

>>44910918
It would have been censored to hell and poorly animated.

>>44911044
She probably died mashed between a bunch of rocks and unable to breathe.

>>44910918
I bet if someone made a movie with a decent budget (animated or not) it'd rake in some cash.

>>44911021
>>44911061
we Should have the French take a shot at it.

>>44911053
>gritty animorphs reboot
How could it get any grittier? Seriously, the sixth book is entirely about an alien mind-rapist slowly starving to death in the main character's head!

>>44911047
yeah I think I heard about it at some point. I mean.. I.. I couldn't ever really envision a happy ending for anything. Man, maybe it's time to reread this all again. Maybe reading it as an adult will chase off some of the shadowy childhood perceptions. Like just thinking about it is genuinely kind of creeping me out.

>>44911112
Give it a couple of years for the core older fanbase to have a little more disposable income and more nostalgia, crowdsource it.

>>44911117
this

Here's some food for thought: what if it was made into an anime?

>>44911130
Let me gently assure you, it gets so very bad by the end.
War crimes and horrors unspeakable done by kids too young to buy cigarettes.

I remember the toys best of all.
Visser Three and Ax were the only good ones, but when I got him, Ax's changing directions were too much for my young mind to handle. I could do Visser 3 blindfolded, though.

I also had a Tobias that looked more like Hawkman.

>>44911119
By gritty I mean cartoon gritty, so maybe Ax rides his skateboard without kneepads. Radical. You know it wouldn't be good but it's all about the 6th or 7th reboot of the reboot of the remake.

>>44911117
...that might work. That or we get japan to take a crack at it

>>44911130
It's actually kind of worse. They really didn't pull any punches in those books. I read a lot of them again last year. I forget which number, but one of the Marco books has a scene where he starts morphing into a shark at school (just enough for teeth and bloodlust) and almost murders some kid who was making fun of his (supposedly) dead mom. That whole bit just seemed cool as a kid. As an adult, that's fucking horrifying. Not for the murder angle, but because it's a kid who is at this point and it's hardly the worst thing in his life!

>>44911233
I had the Tobias one. Dude looked like he was on steroids and had some sort of feathery skin condition even as a human.

>>44911265
like I said>>44911195

>>44911265
We've been over this before.
I believe we tried to contact a studio.
The french option sounds good though. Someone got Moonscoop on the phone. Or the guys doing Miraculous Ladybug.

Imagine the reaction of the Ancient Aliens guy to an animorph world.
>PYRAMIDS?
>ELLIMISTS

My brother and I brought up animorphs on a fucking whim a few weeks ago. Basically I downloaded all the books soon after and have been doing like an average of three a day.

holy fuck this is a lot darker than I remember

>>44907205
1:Ax because goofy alien
2:Rachel because HOLY SHIT SHE JUST DECAPITATED A HORK-BAJIR!
3:Marco he was funny had the shittiest life outside of Tobias and he grew up to be Tony Stark Also dead

>>44911982
>Downloaded
You better provide a link bro.

>>44912085
piratebay, that's where I snagged them, on book 44 right now

>>44912085
look here
>>44908975

I liked that all the yeerks weren't dicks, I actually have kind of a thing for symbiosis stories (although 9/10 there's a bad end for the alien/whatever)

they actually explained their whole deal quite well in the books, I actually felt sorry for them

>>44908975
>>44912185
Fuck, how did I miss that. Thanks!

>>44912227
I always wondered why the kids never tried to leak the whole "genetically engineered hosts" thing they found on that shopping mall planet or get the idea across somehow to the less invasion inclined yeerks

>>44912288
I personally liked how a lot of them went native

>>44912288
How would they convey that information before the war was public? They couldn't just walk up to The Sharing and say "hey, what if you guys just engineered your own hosts?"

Besides, before the revolution, the less invasion inclined yeerks would have been destroyed by the yeerk army for daring to speak out. By the time the idea became something casually discussed, earth would be long enslaved.

>>44912349
Flip books never work for me anyway.

>>44912349
I wonder if someone has taken pictures of each frame and turned them into gifs? If not they should.

>"On December 11th, 2012, it was discovered that Sony Pictures had registered four domain addresses that may or may not allude to their involvement in an Animorphs movie. There is yet to be any official word, however all four domains redirect to Sony Pictures website. The URL's include:[11]
>animorphs.net

So, there's this...

>>44912288
>less invasion inclined yeerks
Another reason those books were amazing. The evil invaders aren't universally chaotic evil. They do have internal conflicts and even pretty decent "people" in their ranks

>>44912404

WHAT DOES IT MEAN.

probably nothing since the books didn't sell much.

I tried getting into a Graphic Novel of the series.
May well attempt to again, but it's pretty hard to do a quality stint on your own.

>>44912404
Not sure how to feel about that. Could be good, most likely would be shit.

>>44912465

>mfw there is an Animorph thread, right now, on /co/

Goddamn I'm happy.

>>44912492
>>44912492
I don't want to be mean, but holy shit that's bad.

>>44912528
FTW, mate

>>44912541
They never elaborated much in the series, as to what was in the Yeerk Pool complex, did they?

>>44912541
And that's actually pretty good.

>>44912572
Not in enormous detail, no. That's pretty close to what I pictured, if smaller.

So be honest.

Would you guys just welcome our new alien overlords?

>>44907578
DAT FAN ART

holy crap wow haha, that's great. Great interpretation.

>>44910799
Still kind of like the theme song but everything else was awful

>>44910799
>>44912652
I'd like it if they used it for whatever sony is planning.

>>44912637
No, I like being control of my wasted life.

>>44907979
They coulda just dropped it dammit. They coulda just stopped with the visser trials and everyone splitting apart. But no. FUCK this ending rustled my jimmies
>"I wanted to end it with the kids going out as they went in: fighting"

NO, the first fucking time they ran away at the yeerk pool, and even before that, hesitated strongly before going into the industrial park or whatever. I know, it shows their change over time, they certainly aren't those frightened little kids at the beginning of the book, but still. Applegate.....Dinklebeeeeerg

>>44912554
>I don't want to be mean, but holy shit that's bad.
I'm digging these up. They were concept sketches, niggs. And done aaaages back.
That one is an idea for a #1 cover.

>>44912404
The Animorphs series could only be best captured by a series with hour-long episodes. At least, that's my opinion...

With like 60 books I think that's like 4 seasons if you do one book an episode. Then make the Megamorphs as movies.

>>44912637
most 4chan people'd drive the poor bastards insane.

>>44911048
Isn't that the one andalite sniper bitch Ax was hot for but then dumped when she and her comrades were about to glass the earth from orbit?

>>44908960
will do thanks

>>44912904
Yea, what ever happen to that girl?

Oh right no one is allowed to have a happy ending

>>44912904
Wasn't their deal that they had sided with the yeerks?
Because the Andalite fleet was going to glass earth anyway.

>>44910056
i'm fucking dying here

Fuck Animorphs.

This was the worst fad to come from the 90's.

>>44913079
Had more images but I think they are on an external hd CBF finding right now.
But it's a pleasant surprise to see /co/ into the Anis mfw

>>44910918
If someone had the ability to make it, and somehow keep it close to the violence and dark overtones of the books, it would be so cash. Guys, I'm gonna do it. Somehow, some way. Even if I have to animated the whole thing by myself. See you in a couple decades.

>>44913030

The worst? Really?

Someone doesn't like reading.

If Marco wasn't your husbando, you had shit taste.

>>44913142
Godspeed Anon. Godspeed.

>>44913030
Worst?
Do you even pogs?

>>44913194
I'm not gay. Does that matter? Tobias would have been my husbando anyways. I like tragedy.

Or Furby, even

>>44913265
Touche.

>>44913265

Wasn't Cassie basically the most "normal"? Jake's brother was a Yeerk, Marco's mother was gone, Tobias is stuck as a hawk, Rachel's in love with a hawk and likes to kill... what's the matter with Cassie?

>>44913328
She's Black.

>>44913328
She's a hippy.

>>44913356

I laughed. Good one.

>>44912404
WHERE CAN I GET HIRED TO WORK ON THIS.

I've done storyboard of some of the scenes.

>>44913328
Peace-loving nice girl who is forced into a violent war and often can't deal with being forced to kill for survival. Admittedly, pretty petty compared to the others.

>This is the current model for Marco, being used for the 2011 relaunch of Animorphs. (Replaced the original, less-hispanic model at the request of the fans at the Hirac Delest blog and the Richard's Animorphs Forum.)

What the fuck? Isn't he hispanic?

>>44913432
Yeah. At least, I thought he was. I always pictured him as hispanic.

>>44912637
You get a fucking lounge area down by the yeerk pool where you can watch cartoons on tv while your yeerk takes a bath. Free cable sounds good to me.

>>44912803
You're scaring me anon, I've come to that exact conclusion as well. Been working on how to translate all the books into something like that.

How long does it take to read an Animorphs book? Are there pdfs of the series online? I think I own about half but grew up before it finished. I wouldn't mind reading the first few, if I could blow through one a day I'd be happy.

>>44913565

Not long. They were, oh, less than a centimeter thick, and the writing wasn't very small.

>>44913565

And hour if you're not trying very hard. They're fast reads.

>>44913565
They're kids books so they clock in at about 150 pages average, if I'm remembering correctly. You can get through one very quick.

>>44913565

http://www.mediafire.com/?r95ck267ykox67e

All the books.

>>44913565
They're literally like 110 pages, they take like anywhere from an hour to 2 hours to read.
inb4 >doze
I think I'm a good reader?

>>44912637
honestly I'd probably get a yeerk due to my own stupidity, I'd never join something voluntarily called the sharing because sweet fuck who would? But stumbling into a yeerk pool entrance because I thought it was the mcdonalds bathroom? yes.

that yeerk would fall for my absolute and utter conviction of cowardice and hedonistical lifestyle

>>44913565
They were only like 150 pages, and pretty standard size text, shouldn't take more than an a couple of hours to read one.

>>44913565
One a day would be taking it slowly.

>Later at home, Rachel researches on the computer and discovers that the pathogen she saw in Marco's bloodstream was rabies, and his near death experience actually saved him from the virus

How...?

>>44913523
Who would you want to pick it up, HBO? Disney? (lol) SyFy?
I actually wonder if J.J. Abrams would do well on the movies.

>>44913565

I could knock one out back in the day in about an hour, hour and a half, they aren't hard reading

So why did Axe have a boner for Cinnamon buns again?

>>44913635
I love you. You've saved me the embarrassment of going to the kid's section of a local library.

>>44913646
Yeah, I think I blew through them that quickly as a kid, but that feels (or was) like fifteen years ago. That's awesome though, I hope they didn't age horribly.

>>44913701

Because they are delicious? (also, mall food)

>>44913720

They're pretty okay; I gave my collection (30+ books) to my boyfriend's little sister and found myself reading one with her without grimacing too badly.

>>44913701
I think it's the combination of the sugar and maybe the cinnamon

who knows if it's like crack to them

we know he really liked sugar and grease as well

>>44913662
I gotta come clean, I'm a huge Lost fan. I really liked all the character interaction in that, though I know Abrams wasn't there for the whole thing, I'd say Abrams could make it pretty good. Honestly, I think the show would benefit from being animated, not anime-style, not pixar cg style, but like a nice, unique blend. 2D might be more fun to animate the morphs and stuff. Getting the 3D ones to look as cool as they sound in the books would be hard. Unless you have some really good maya programmers or something.

>>44913701
His species works by mashing the grass under their feet and consuming the plant matter through their hooves. I remember being incredibly disturbed as a kid when he stepped on a snail or a slug or something, and consumed it through those same hooves.

Anyway, they don't have a sense of taste, so when he goes into his human morph, all the sensation is new and exciting. The author just picked a "favourite" sweet food out of the air.

>>44913701
In general? Andalites do not have mouths. They eat by absorbing nutrients through their hooves (they live on a grass planet). Specifically? Cinnamon buns are delicious.

>>44913701
Not any cinnamon buns, Cinnabon™ and clearly you've never had one before because they are like the pinnacle of cinnamon bun creation. The mall by my house had one and it was like impossible for me to not buy one every goddamn time I went in there.

>>44899226
>Oh God, if only Animorphs were adapted to a comic or cartoon. I was more obsessed with this series than probably anything else since then.
I WISH, MATE!

>>44899266
>We must only wait. Soon people who grew up reading animorphs will be old enough to be the runners of industry.
>I mean they just re-released the books fairly recently. Shit maybe it's happening already
FTW, MANG

>>44899667
>So, anyone remember David
I effing hated that kid

>>44899831
>There was a later book where he came back calling them on this hypocrisy and demanding to be killed. It's heavily implied at the end that Rachel did kill him.
I wish #The Return hadn't been Ghostwritten. It had so much potential.
1/3 of the book was just dream-sequences dicking around with the narrator's brain.

>>44899879
>The Taxxons and Hork-Bajir are the only ones they've taken over completely to my knowledge
For such the big enslavers of the galaxy, we only ever saw the Hork-Bajir and Taxxons, as enslaved alien hosts. Apart from Gedds (which were creatures from their own homeworld).
They name-dropped a couple of others, but nothing came out of their premise.

>>44899887
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivQ9OU2B5so
Oh, shoot! "The Questioning". That is brilliant! lol

Who out of the 5 had the highest killcount Rachel?

Did anyone else really enjoy Visser and the Ellimist?

The backstory of the female visser was really interesting, and how it tied in with Marco.

And I was so close to finishing the series a few months ago, but it said online that I had to read the Ellimist first before moving on to the finale, so I was really at a crossroads. But then I read it and was like "Holy shit this could be an amazing movie!" If you left out the opening bit, it would be an amazing start to the series. Have this as a in-theaters movie, then follow up with the series.

>>44913837

>I wish #The Return hadn't been Ghostwritten

Wern't most of them towards the middle and end ghostwritten?

>wtf hashtag

>>44913916
I don't think it works without the opening.
It contextualizes how the Ellimist actually thinks and operates, and how absolutely brutal the universe really is.

>>44914004
I mean I like it, I'm just saying it would then spoil who dies. I mean in a book you could get around that with no audio, but in a movie, it would be difficult.

>>44913916
all the "chronicles" books were fantastic pieces of Sci-fi.

it's a shame the series was so focused on quantity instead of quality for most of the middle of it's run. Ellimist, Visser, Andalite and Hork Bajir chronicles are proof.

>>44913328
Marco's mom was Visser One
No I don't mean controlled by Visser One

>>44913523
It's the only clear way to go. It's too long of a story to even do as a movie series, too dark to do as a kid's cartoon, and the books, while short, contain enough action and drama for an hour's worth just like many other prime time shows.

If there is someone from sony in here, or whoever, who is getting a feel for public interest, please make this story with respect, it has a lot of potential.

Let's be real here. Those fucking helmacrons were little shits messing things up and contributing nothing except almost getting everyone killed repeatedly. Anytime it was a book about them I was pissed. That damn ant-eater one.

>>44914085
If only there was an animation studio with the budget to make one hour episodes. Maybe, you could just have shorter seasons? Usually, a cartoon season is like 22 episodes or so? But they're 30 minutes. So maybe the story could be told in short seasons, like Korra, except 1 hour episodes, so the pacing isn't screwed horrendously. I just don't think live-action could. It will always look hoaky. Animation gains more suspension of disbelief, and yet can still connect on an emotional level.

>>44914145
Helmacrons were some weird shit

>>44914068

I know, spoiler asshat.

>>44914145
Yeah, the helmacrons weren't that good. Amusing, but they felt really out of place.

>>44914247
I dunno, cgi these days is pretty great, but I suppose that would require a budget too.

>>44914145
Like the helmacrons, there were also those sea people living under the ocean in that weird cave place. I kinda wish they had played some sort of role in the battleship book or somewhere at the end. I thought they were kinda neat.

>>44913635
before i download this what format are these in (want to read it on my kindle)

>>44914698

PDF.

You guys better keep this thread alive till I get home. I'm still at work and this has made me want to re-read Animorphs again. Think it's been 12 years since

>>44914698
Wish I could find where I downloaded mine, can't find the place now. They were all in pdf format. I'm afraid to say this thread is dying.

thanks to the anon who posted these pdfs. my job is really, really slow on fridays and saturdays.. i can't wait to sit out of the public eye and binge read these.

ZESTFULLY CLEAN! ZESTFULLY CLEAN! YOU'RE NOT REALLY CLEAN UNLESS YOU'RE ZESTFULLY CLEAN!!

I hate you /co/ now I have to read this series for the first time since I was in elementary school. God just go die in a fire.

"The Andalite Bandits MUST BE CAUGHT!!!"

>>44908960
Seeing this made me remember Blogger Beware. Now I'm sad that it's basically dead and he never did the Give Yourself Goosebumps books.

Animorphs...

Transformations...

Furries...

...Quite fetishistic.

Oh my. Animorphs has a webcomic? And there's an entire thread about it?

I love you, /co/.

>>44907205
Cassie because she was the most conflicted character. Being a huge farm owning hippie and forced to kill all the time.

>>44907205
A tie between Ax and Marco.

>>44917055
Animorphs you would think would have more art because of it but like people in the thread said it's pretty dark. Not even furries could extract sexual pleasure from en mass.

>>44918903
WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SAD, STUPID FEELS

>>44919487
Because they'll never get a happy ending ;_;

Well /co/, today for the first time in 12 years, I reread the first book. And fuck, I'm back in. All those feels, specially reading them as an adult. The moment you realize, holy fuck these are just kids. And they're in a fucking war. How the hell was this marketed towards children. This shit is dark

>>44919781
Thank god it was. We're actually really lucky that they didn't tone it down.

>>44912404
OH GOD!
DO FUCKING WANT! I COULD TOTALLY WORK ON THIS.
Pic related, a Hork-Bajir 3D model I've been working on for a good long while now, for no particular reason.

I've actually given this a LOT of thought.
I'd start it off with one of the most elaborate viral ad campaigns ever waged. "Found Footage" of ten foot tall spiked creatures fighting an elephant and a tiger, or whatever, people handing out pamphlets for "The Sharing", oh fuck, the mind REELS at the possibilities.

Still working on how the movies would actually work. I know I'd want them to be substantially dark, while maintaining a PG-13 rating. They'd be, at heart, parables about growing into adulthood, with morphing being analogous to puberty.
I'd like to do three, but I can see the studio wanting to stretch it out to more. At the VERY least three, with one movie being basically the first book, another movie combining the David books with that one story about how not all yeerks support the war. It would be the "Empire strikes back" movie of the franchise. Up is down, good is evil, the animorphs don't win in the end.
The way the movies play in my head, they'd be almost like a cross between The Goonies and Red Dawn, if that makes sense.

>>44919820
I don't think a movie would work. The content just isn't there for a standalone flick. And not in the sense that there's not enough story, but there isn't enough to keep it simple without needing all the shit that comes later on. And it'd have to start like that to see if it's profitable.

I really think either a series of shorts is the only way to do it, and the more you get into it, you can expand it and do longer features from that point on

>>44919882
I honestly don't know.
Movies really wouldn't be THAT hard. The big challenge would indeed be trimming the fat, but there is a SHIT TON of fat going on in those books. The Pemalites, and their androids, for example. Not REALLY necessary for anything.
You could list on one hand the necessary narative elements of the books
Five kids (and one alien), each with their own personal link to the conflict, fight to protect their home from a largely unseen enemy, in a fight that ultimately turns out to be the ultimate battle between the embodiment of good, and the embodiment of evil in the universe. That's really the whole story.
It would take a LOT of trimming, and a little re-arranging, a word-for-word retelling certainly isn't happening, but I could totally see it working out as a movie series.

>>44919985
But that's the thing, it would work as a series. But what if it tanks? So you need to make the first one work as both part 1 of a story and a standalone feature. And I think that's going to be the main problem. There's no way this works as a standalone. It needs sequels. But if there's no money, we get no sequels, we get an unfinished story

>>44920007
Oh, no, that's the EASY part! The first movie would be really easy to do as an almost straight adaptation of the first book, with maybe parts of the next two or three indispersed throughout.
>Five kids on their way home from school
>AWW SHIT, ALIENS FIGHTING
>We can turn into animals now?!
>Crazy teenager hijinx ensue
>The implications of the Yeerk invasion realized
>More crazy animorphs antics, this time a little more serious. Someone mauls a police officer and gets cold feet, someone sneaks into Chapman's house to find the location of the yeerk pool, they sneak into the zoo for battle morphs, etc
>Finally a giant setpiece moment where they infiltrate the yeerk pool, sabotage shit, SHIT HITS THE FAN, blah blah blah, everyone miraculously makes it out alive, save Tobias, who is trapped in hawk form
>The battle was won, but THE WAR IS FAR FROM OVER
>Roll credits.

Boom, first movie done.

>>44920061
Dude that's a half hour at most

>>44920084
I highly disagree! It's all in the writing and pacing.

>>44920084
If they can make the Hobbit into a trilogy, they can stretch the first book into one average film.

>>44920145
I guess you haven't read any Hobbit reviews.

So... is Animorph becoming /co/s flavor/interest of the month?

>>44920166
No.

I always thought they should do a live action tv series. I remember there being some good kids series when I was still a kid or teen, though unfortunately a lot of them were short lived.

>>44920182
Oh, you poor poor fool

>>44920157
I saw it, quite liked it. Yes it was padded, but if they did it with the animorphs book they wouldn't have to pull so much out of their arse.

Seriously, all they have to add is some stuff from later books- maybe a smaller mission or something, like the excursion into Chapman's house, and you're laughing. Maybe something to ~foreshadow~ Tobias' fate. If anything, it'd make the pacing better.

>>44920157
You wouldn't even really need to fill any time at all, though.
As far as pacing goes, I'm thinking of something very similar to Star Wars. When you get right down to it, there's not a WHOLE lot there, in terms of story beats. But they give each of them their due and move on without any fuss and the movie, at least from a pacing standpoint, feels very satisfying and conclusive, while leaving the universe wide open.
Animorphs, and The Invasion in particular, is not entirely dissimilar, story structure-wise.
That's kinda what you want to aim for.

>>44907205
Tobias was my favorite. Total crush on him as a kid. I haven't read the books since I was a kid, though, and never managed to get ahold of the whole series.

Tobias getting trapped as a hawk, and all the awkward tension with Rachel, and him always feeling like the outsider who couldn't connect with the others... He was my husbando.

>>44920258
>never managed to get ahold of the whole series.
You're in luck:
>>44908143
>>44908975

>>44907588
>But hawk was still his base form and the same two-hour rule applied while he was human. If he stayed human, he wouldn't be able to morph ever again and would've been out of the fight for good.

Oh god... When he got to be human again, and had to decide weather to keep living as a bird which would mean a shortened life span, or giving up... And then when he wanted to get closer to Rachel but knew he couldn't be with her. Agh... So many feels. I am always a sucker for this type.

Did Tobias get to become human permanently after the war ended, or was it a bitter sweet ending for him?

I know nothing about the Animorphs other than there was one guy who changed into an eagle for too long and got stuck like that. Is that guy in this comic?

>>44920306
>When he got to be human again, and had to decide weather to keep living as a bird which would mean a shortened life span, or giving up
Yeah, how did this work? So he gets his morph of his human-self when he's 13 or so. As he gets older, when he morphs into himself, does he morph back into 13 year old him, or older him relative to his hawk life span? So if he morphs when he's really old as a hawk, which let's assume is 5 years later after he originally turned into a hawk, when he goes human is it him at 18 or him as a really old guy?

>>44920306
Do you really want to know? I'll tell you, but you won't like it. Rachel dies at the end of the war, and Tobias finally gives up on his humanity completely. He disappears into the hills to live and die as an animal. Years later Jake does find him again, to bring him on one last mission to find Ax who had disappeared in deep space. Ax was possessed by an some kind of evil entity, and Jake orders a ramming action. Everyone dies.

>>44920319
That comic picture is no more than a flimsy cover for a gratuitous Animorphs thread. I sincerely doubt anyone in here has read the comic.

>>44920409
I have. It's okay, but it's a retelling of the series and, unfortunately, the series is NOT paced for a webcomic. I check every couple of months to read a few pages in bulk but even that is too slow.

>>44920319
Tobias, red tailed hawk, and yes. It's a one-to-one retelling.

>>44920449
>It's a one-to-one retelling.
That's a mistake, I think.
One, because it's long as FUCK
and two, because there's a lot that simply doesn't need to be told again. Animorphs is very front and back-heavy, with some happening in the middle, but it's very, very VERY decompressed. That's not good for a page-a-week/month/year webcomic


(Has the thread stopped bumping? Should we make another thread?)

>>44920567
I think everyone is asleep. There's no need for a new thread. You don't want to overdo a good thing anyways.

>>44918885
>>44918895
>>44918903

Oh my heart.
This might sound weird, but even as a kid, I always found it frustrating that nothing happened between them. I had enough of an understanding of romance and sex that I just felt like SOMETHING physical should have happened between characters, before they run off to nearly die all the time. I shipped them so hard.

Any of you guys experience that, or was I just a freak?

It feels so much weirder looking back on it as an adult, since the characters are so young.

>>44919820

Fund it.

>>44920843
No, I was in the same camp. I desperately wanted them to find some kind of happiness.

>>44920843
I'm reading the review site that got posted in this or the old thread and they mention a couple of suspicious fade to black moments that just make me think it was edited out.
I mean, we might be freaking out over these books still, but they were after all marketed to children. Any fule kno that disembowelment on the reg is a-ok in children's literature but anything even remotely physical is just not on.

>>44920344
God damn. Fuck the Hunger Games. THIS shit is real.

>>44920903
Yeah, I always assumed there had to be something physical there. How could there not be? Plus, in the Rachel and Tobias books you see that they do share a number of private moments.

>>44912686

Sci fi books. Honestly the yeerks probably did see a bunch of concepts they could have used (for peaceful means or just plain raping the galaxy)if they weren't under a totalitarian regime.

First of all, I would like to thank the various based gods who've been posting those download links.

Secondly, I'm just going to be a faggot and ask if there's any way to read those files on a mobile device. It's just that I have a thing going all weekend and it would be a great thing to do in the hotel. Apologies if it's something stupidly obvious.

Don't enter rage/wut/depression threads.

The sheer number of unique aliens in this series was amazing.

Had Andalites be described as Greys I don't think I'd have nearly as much nostalgia.

The image when looked at closely is uncanny valley level horror. It was a concept sketch, we get that, no one is judging it as some finished work of art. So go ahead and be mad about absolutely nothing. It's not proving your point. It's not 'auto-bitch mode', it's just 'fuck, that is terrifying.'

All of them. All the main series, all the Chronicles, all the Megamorphs, the Alternamorphs, even the stupid Meet the TV Stars book.

And yet, I'm not a fan of this webcomic.
I just think it has too slow of an update schedule--at this rate, I don't even think they'll get through the first book by the end of the year--, and I don't feel like it can capture the frenzy of the battles.
But maybe they'll surprise me.

There's about an eternity of books to cover.

This web series will NEVER see its end.

-Ever-.

Better projects have turned to ash.

So we can postpone this question.

What was terrible about it? It was dark, but I liked the ending. It wasn't all sunshine and butterflies.

>>44924731
>get through the first book
they're on like chapter 2 and it's been like 4 years.

>>44923168
that's how aliens see us anon.

>>44924791
Exactly. That's why I don't have much faith in it.
Unless they start taking it very seriously and dedicating a lot to it, it's worthless.

>>44924753
it was just ramming the enemy ship and then Pic related

>>44924895
Exactly.
Sometimes shit just happens.

>>44924944
And sometimes a shit ending happens.

Doesn't mean it should, when it can be avoided.

>>44925006
Did you want "and they lived happily ever after?"

Nice a drawing as that is, you're

Lick my hole, nigga

>>44925475
It doesn't have to be happy. Hell, I would take everyone dying. All I'm saying is some fucking closure and explanation would be nice.

>>44925475
no, but a vague "Rocks fall everyone dies" end isn't really a good way to end such a great series.

>>44925530
>>44925551
They're tired of fighting. Tired of all the bullshit.
So they kamikaze the enemy.
Done.

>>44925551
But they DIDN'T die. It ends with them starting a new fight.

>>44926231
we fon't really know that because the book ends right after the ramming.

>>44926290
It just depends on whether you like those open-ended endings or not. Some people interpreted it as the start of a new fight, and some saw it as everyone dying. Personally I like to have closure, but I know there's some people who like those 'open to interpretation' type endings.

>>44926830
I guess.

anyways, we need a story about a rebellious Andalite teen Dating a human and all the Spaghetti that would come about from such a relationship

>>44923136
The ending to animorphs wasn't even bad though
Somewhat dark sure but you are missing that its supposed to mirror the beginning of the series.
At the end of Andalite chronicles Elfangor tells his crew to ram the blade ship which is how he ends up crashing on earth in the first place.

Throughout the series Jake is constantly compared to Elfangor (Part of the reason Ax calls him "prince") and is shown through flashbacks to have a similar personality differing only in his hesitation to be leader however by the end he has come to begrudgingly accept his leadership role and the very ending shows things come full circle with Jake finally becoming just like Elfangor.

There was closure though
Every plot point was neatly tied up at the end.
The war was over
Humanity was saved
All the loose ends were taken care of

The bit with the AI controlling Ax at the end was not a cliff hanger it was just a "and the adventure continues" sort of thing it could have been anything it was just there to show you that they were eager for the next war because they never really recovered from the one they had won.

>>44927456
W-what? WHAT? Oh I can't believe I missed that.

>>44927456
Dude. How did I miss that?

>>44927456
holy hell, I never thought of it like that.
