First off that ominous shot of a bloody Jonas venture in a cave turned out to actually be Jonas, in case there was any question:
(I was kind of surprised nobody said anything about the Jonas shot myself!)
Next up some extra info about the show being made in HD:We're drawing the show in the 16:9 ratio and keeping the important action within the 4:3 "TV safety" window. I have no idea yet if we're pulling this off successfully, having not seen any footage back yet. Also, I'm not sure how we'll handle the pre-titles opening scenes, which we've traditionally put a fake letterbox on. Adding to my ignorance, I'm not even sure adultswim broadcasts in HD anywhere yet--but the DVDs will sure look nice.
To add to that, Cartoon Network HD is available if you have DirectTV, but currently no other providers carry it. Continuing this theme, here's a brief thought about releading a HD version of the season 3 DVD:Honestly, I seriously doubt adultswim will spring for an HD or BluRay release at this point. But we'll at least make sure the DVD features the episodes in their widescreen aspect ratio.
And what about things to appear (or not) in the upcoming season?As for Underbheit, he almost got a cameo in one episode but we couldn't fit him in (for the record, he got more play in Season 2 than he did in Season 1!). Consider him in exile, wandering the earth in search of a new dominion.
And not to break your heart over and over, but sorry...no Keenan and Kel jokes that I can recall. Maybe a Dune joke or two?
You'll be pleased to know that Holy Diver eventually made his way into an episode.
And what about the ever-present Star Wars references?If it makes you feel any better, Doc and I had a gentlemanly disagreement just today, while recording an episode, over what constitutes an official Star Wars reference. It seems that one or two jokes we made in this upcoming season could be construed as goofs on that most celebrated space epic, though the verdict is still out. So, there's new hope. But I can at least guarantee 98% less Star Wars references this season.
And finally, when the crap does this season even start, anyway?I'm actually not sure. Late spring, I think. We don't start delivering finished episodes to the network until January, and then it's one every two weeks after that. Usually they wait until we have 7 or 8 of them finished before airing the first one (they have to wait until we have at least six, because our premier is the sixth episode we're making). So that puts us into at least April, maybe later.
So there you go. Now you don't have to root through those pesky comments yourself!Inexplicably Torn From the Pages of Kafka
I might have some 'stuff' for you guys in the future, if I am not too lazy. If.

Now that I can look back on a full 13 scripts, I can truthfully say it will be a weird season. We dug deeper than we have before, told richer stories, took some chances (we'll see if they pay off), and, as promised in the commentary for the Season Two DVD, made no intentional Star Wars references. I think we managed to hit just about every semi-important character who's appeared before (with the exception of Baron Ünderbheit--might as well tell you now), including some Season 1 favorites who didn't get much play in season 2. And we introduced plenty of new ones, adding multiple layers of backstory (and forwardstory) to the Team Venture saga.
And of course the usual bevy of backgrounds which promise to turn to stills when animated episodes begin coming in from Korea in a month or so. In HD. Yes, HD.For those of you keeping track, episodes take around 10 months to animate, meaning if everything stays on track the final episode of the season will be done in about a year, so the show could begin airing in six to eight months. Good, yes?

For anyone who hates Metalocalypse, uh, sorry I guess. I'll have another clip tomorrow and Sunday and then the site will be back to normal. Brutal.
