Futurama News Past 6ACV13 - No spoilers outside spoiler tags!

So we see a new character, a holographic Pimply-Faced Boy, which is always worth a laugh.  My favourite though is still the robotic Pimply-Faced Boy, with flashing LED zits.

Anyway, my personal favorite bit from those ads was Fry's line: "Leela, I'm no doctor, but I'm afraid you be exhibiting symptoms of illin'."

Second.

I hope we get more material from Reincarnation, even though we have four already. I need something from the video game one...

I'm pretty certain we will. The Fleischer stuff was act I, the anime stuff is act II, so the next logical thing is to spend a few days on act III concept art. That'd also explain what's going to fill much of the next eight days. I think we'll get 3 days of video-game segment stuff, then 5 days of promotional clips / ads / etc. Plus maybe some sort of complete surprise -maybe something like that recap of past episodes narrated by Zapp Brannigan from last year?

There hasn't been any news about any of the new episodes being broadcast outside of the US.

I think they've just been waiting for a full production season. When shows like this go abroad, they tend to air them in production order and moreorless stick to it. I think they sell seasons abroad in production batches rather than broadcast batches basically. Hopefully we'll get a complete season 6 DVD set in region 2 to make up for the wait.

cyber_turnip: I would love that!!!

[Reply #1044 on:]

Hasn't it been noted several times that the first half of season 6 has already aired here in Australia?

That said, there's been no news about the new episodes being released on DVD outside the US so maybe they will be released as the whole production season.

Anime Leela and Bender:

This reminds me of Coldy's stuff....

I have Foxtel and I haven't seen any sign of Futurama on Australian television past Into the Wild Green Yonder (in separate parts, of course). Does it air on Fox 8, The Comedy Channel or Channel 10/Southern Cross Ten?

[Reply #1047 on:]

11 airs both old and new episodes like all the time.

[Reply #1048 on:]

Indeed. They just finished another run through the new ones less than 10 minutes ago. Go digital, you'll get a handful of new shows to watch.

Today's update: Clip from "Benderama": Infinite Benders


I don't live in the US, so I have no idea what's going on other than the title and this image.

[Reply #1050 on:]

Great to see more video material. Funny clip, my favorite part was the Professor shooting Bender (or a duplicate) at the end.  

Does this work, Dorsal? http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.8.5.swf?uri=mgid:cms:video:comedycentral.com:389344&title=sneak-peek---infinite-benders

Something funny. I hope that detailed run-through fans any flames of inquiry you had.

[Reply #1052 on:]

It's just your typical scene showcasing conference table antics, Dorsal Axe. Plenty funny, like FoA says. My favorite part was the dramatic sting on the equation, and Fry's matter-of-factness about his inability to understand it.

[Reply #1053 on:]

Video link that works in the UK anyone?

[Reply #1054 on:]

Unfortunately not. Thanks anyway.

[Reply #1055 on:]

Haha, awesome clip. Benderama still looks to be an amazing episode. Love the math and the ending.

edit: Does http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.8.5.swf?uri=mgid:cms:video:comedycentral.com:389344 work?

[Reply #1056 on:]

Nope, Aki...

[Reply #1057 on:]

The gist of the clip:

Show spoiler

The Planet Express headquarters have loads of small Benders running around, duplicating each other. The big Bender and the PE crew sits by the conference table, everyone is mad at Bender. He says he likes the idea of lots of Benders, but the others don't. The Professor appears and shows a mathematical formula, which shows that if not stopped, the Benders will multiply until they consume all of Earth's surface. He concludes that the Benders have to be destroyed. Bender asks if he too needs to be destroyed, whereupon the Professor picks up a gun and shoots Bender in the chest.

By the way, it seems that the Countdown is done with the stills and concept arts, and will spend the rest of the days on videos. Or at least that's my interpretation of the text:

We've seen lots of great storyboards and character designs throughout the Countdown, but a quick comparison of the Mona Lisa and Fast Five is all you need to know that motion pictures are always better than still pictures, so let's watch a video today.

A little sad, seeing as I wanted to see the video game style from Reincarnation, but cool to see videos too.

can someone just put it on youtube please??

I and Danny would love to see it too ...

Or you could get a proxy IP...

I guess Bender's going ... into his bronze age.

futurama fans that aren't computer nerds, son, i am dissapoint.

Never fear fine citizens InfoMan is here

Superhero of the futurama forum remember that name 'InfoMan!'

[Reply #1064 on:]

Didn't we already have Super Heroes in the PEEL 2 Beta Madness?

And I have the feeling you're some other user's second/third/fourth etc, account....

Also, yes, InfoMan!'s link works. Something I notciced, it appears the Professor has a modern style pistol, not a futuristic laser one.

[Reply #1065 on:]

Some pics uploaded to the Infosphere, screenshots from the commercials. And concerning the Neutopia ones, there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

The Silence of the Clamps:

What's with the giant pink ball?

What's with the giant pink ball?

That's what you got out of the pictures?!

The whole Professor picture makes me consider that he's some sort of stripper... I hope I'm wrong. :P

[Reply #1068 on:]

I've already looked at the main details enough (urgh), now I'm looking at the background details that may lead to clues and stuff...

For example, the clock on the wall in the Female Hermes pic, it appears to say 5:05 AM/PM.

[Reply #1069 on:]

I'm really starting to worry about some elements of the episode. For example, is this alien really just changing the genders (and thus, some elements of it like the "men" starting to enjoy shopping), or is it also changing other stuff, like their personalities? If not, why the hell would Hermes strip naked, et cetera? I really hope this isn't just "for the sake of it" out of character behaviour.

[Reply #1070 on:]

It looks like they are shooting a Planet Express calendar.

Is it wrong that I find female Fry kind of hot?

[Reply #1071 on:]

Oh, right, I totally forgot about the porno-ish storyboard... maybe the alien is forcing them because he (yeah, he) is a total pervert and is interested in the (to him) weird and kinky gender aspect?

It could also be about you being 14 and entering puberty.

[Reply #1072 on:]

I like the screenshot from The Silence of the Clamps. It has a very clool art style. I'm very very afraid of Neutopia and feel like it'll be the Gadda of this season.

I'm really looking forward to SotC in general, it looks to be a cool gangster episode. And yeah, I'm nervous about Neutopia too. Still I'm glad Neutopia and Benderama air together, so hopefully no-one will be extremely angry about the new season right away, but give it a chance thanks to Benderama.

To be fair, Hermes has never had a problem with stripping naked. Him and Farnsworth enjoy a bit of naked chess in Xmas Story from what I remember (gone are our primitive notions of modesty).

Awesome! I love all the minor characters in the background.

Not naked for the sake of sexiness, as seems to be the case here.

[Reply #1077 on:]

Those clips look excellent. It's interesting just how many characters are there in Neutopia -do you think they'll all play into the gender-swapping plot or if they're just there in act I for whatever reason.

[Reply #1078 on:]

I started to think of that too. And I'm curious as to what they're all doing on the rock planet.

Is that goth chick the Professor's fat love in 300 Big Boys by the way? I hope she's having a larger role, I don't think we've seen her even in the background before.

[Reply #1079 on:]

Is it wronger that I would willingly bone female Scruffy?

Also, Neutropia is gonna be a pr0ner's wet dream. Here's lookin' at you, kid Freako.
