The fifth year of Totally BS!

Posted by omegafinal - February 13th, 2012


Feburary 17, 2007. The very first Totally BS! episode was released, it was also my first award as well. So being delusional and selfish, I whipped up a sequel that never got released,The Act of Cosplay: Totally BS! 2 (Or TBS2: Convention Rumble). Then I made it into a random webcomic with the title Re: Totally BS!, but there are so many inside jokes that it just isn't funny at all. Although to be honest, the original sucked, graphically, and I've thought about remaking it, although not sure if I want to reuse the same voice clips or redub it, because three out of the four original cast members were replaced.

On October in the same year, and going by the email prefix theme, FWD: Totally BS! came out, and established the defining chibi art style, with its mouthless, "line eyed", stub armed look. I really liked it, because quite frankly, it's cute, I don't want to change it. That incarnation later got the subtitle "The Girl Gamers" when the actual cast of the series was established and went on for a few more episodes with a fifth episode finale that never got released along with a lost episode set sometime before the second episode.

After a lot of hurdles and bumps, I've helped Rina-chan animate one of her Haruhi Suzumiya fan-audiodrama, which got released on April 2008, although I made the stupid decision of renaming it That's Totally BS, Haruhi Suzumiya!, and I thought about remaking it and more input from Rina-chan, but it fell through, because it was bombed with multiple negative reviews that it isn't worth it. Also, with the new Newgrounds update, she can now reply to the reviews here now, since she wrote the story, she should have the ability to.

That's Totally BS! later would see three other episodes based on Lucky Star and Team Fortress 2, which was geared towards the RIT Anime Club. I'll admit that the Team Fortress 2 episode was downright terrible for a lot of reasons, and there are time where I want to make a better episode for either that or reuse the character and put them in any of Valve's multiplayer games, like Left 4 Dead in like a VR environment.

Because the Team Fortress episode sucked, I didn't want to end it on a bad note, so that's how The Fallout [3] of That's Totally BS! came about, which was also based on my own experiences of moronic incidents in the game. It's a success and I'm happy that a lot of people liked it. And sorry, there won't be a New Vegas episode, because I haven't had the time to play it. I own it on Steam thanks to a holiday sale (and a free TF2 item), but my computer doesn't have the power to run it smoothly, so that would sully the experience.

There is one thing common in the That's Totally BS! series, and that is Yuki Nagato and the Skunk's appearance, so I decided to make Absolute BS!, which is a Doctor Who-style fan series where she and some companions travel through different worlds. It failed.

Finally, one last series, CC: Totally BS!, only two episodes released on September and October of 2009. Featuring the daughter of Satan and her boyfriend, which ultimately would've ended with the two getting married if I went on with the series. I've used a mixture of both "realistic" hand drawn art and the usual TBS chibis, which I think gave it There's a shelved third episode, which would've came out on Valentine's Day 2010, with an unproduced fourth and fifth episode, which would've dealt with their marriage. The sad thing about the third episode is that's about 90% complete and it kept missing the Valentine's Day or Week due to whatever the hell happened.

I also scripted up something called !Totally BS: The Fault is Yours (Pronounced "Not Totally BS") on November 2010 with a January 2011 release, which is actually a drama and based on how bad my previous job totally fucked up Project TRITEN, which is the second Cyberangel series I tried starting up, but failed. It would've symbolically explained my frustrations with my job and how it affected my creativity. I'm glad that I canceled this. But yeah, I hated that job to the point of making a script, and if it got finished, forwarded to the higher ups as an "F. U.". Didn't even want to put that job in my resume too (it's more or less written in very small print.). There was also a NaNoWriMo project I tried making based on it, but I was laid off from the company, so the anger I had all pent up is gone, and the entire project collapsed, thankfully.

What's next for the series coming on its fifth anniversary? Well, I'm making FWDTBS2: The H.A.T. Trick, two episodes actually, based on a news article about some Jedi-wannabe causing trouble at Toys R Us and a video where some father shot up her laptop all because of a Facebook post. And there's Turned-A Totally BS!: The Spotlight is Yours, which I'm making right now and hope to release by the end of the month. After all of that is done, a nine-part Cyberangel project.

Until then.
