Tonight was Adult Swim Night at Manchester Animation Festival #MAF2024, it was a lot of fun, I spoke to Mark Taynton (the head of Adult Swim EMEA and International Adult Animation Content Management) before the screening and got a nice shout-out which I wasn't expecting before the screening. 🥲

I've seen the first episode of Common Side Effects, and YOLO: Rainbow Dynasty before public release, also it was awesome to see Invincible Fight Girl and the first episode of Uzumaki on the big screen.

From audience's reception, they found YOLO: Rainbow Trinity and Haha You Clowns the funniest, it was hard to gauge the shows at the more serious end of the spectrum (Uzumaki and Common Side Effects) only by applause, but talking to people afterwards they said they enjoyed it.

Afterwards was the Adult Swim Live Drawing Challenge, I was a bit worried about taking part (knowing that I was an underdog, going against professional artists), but it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I did as it was a good laugh!

There will be more Adult Swim and Cartoon Network related events on Thursday during Industry Day (Animation Nation Forum) at the festival.
