Post Anyone watched Electric City?
Tom hank's is apparently producing and starring in an animated Web series. I tried to watch it the other day, but the odd animation style threw me for a bit, Should I try to pick it up again, or is it not worth it?

I didn't know this was a thing till just now.

I finally found episode 1 here.
Apparently, it's a yahoo exclusive.

Having just watched I'll say that, aesthetically, it's not bad for flash animation. In terms of writing, nothing stands out. It might be a cool setting but there wasn't anything intriguing there or enough for me to develop interest over. I'll give it a couple more eps to hook me, but for now, I give it a a largely blase "meh."

So far it seems like more effort has been put into the promotional devices of the game and the ARG.

Shame, I generally like just about anything with Hanks.

It has a moment or two, but overall, it seems a bit confusing.

Still, I applaud the efforts of any celeb who tries something different like this

I enjoyed it, but I also like quirky stories like Eon Flux.

See, I liked Aeon flux the first time I saw it. I could INSTANTLY SEE what made it different;engaging. Here, in episode 1, I see some boiler plate and am TOLD why i might care.
