Mysterious Cities of Gold: Season 2!

Crispy said:
Straight continuation.
I imagine the first episode has a "Previously, on MCOG" opening.

hope when they bring it out in english its on some format like netflix or lovefilm where one can binge watch it rather than waiting week by week for episode feed. week by week is killing breaking bad final season imo...

just watched the first 2 episodes of season one of MCOG there on lovefilm, the story holds up really well even from watching it as an adult. so a lot more than just nostalgia to drive it on... gonna introduce it to my kids later when they get back from school...

any word on when the english version of season 2 is gonna be released?

I'm both excited and scared about this. I was obsessed with MCoG as a kid, and rewatched the entire thing a couple of years ago with my daughter, who also lived it. This better be good! :mad:

according to wikipedia a lot of people involved in the original are involved in the production of the new season and also that series 2 is based on the orginal drafts of series 2 so there seems to be a fair amount of continuity hopefully to guaruntee that the story remains to the high quality of the original...

cartooning looks amazing not so sure about the updated theme tune ...

 
I was a bit old for first time round although I watched a few episodes with my wee brother. IMO it wasn't a patch on Ulysses 31 ;)

Heh, I used to feel like that about Once Upon A Time... (late 70s/early 80s animated educational series). In any conversations I've ever had about kids TV, people used to look at me puzzled when I mentioned it and I convinced myself I must have imagined it too :hmm: Then one day, I finally discovered that it did indeed exist and put a name to it :D

Mysterious Cities of Gold.... yeah!!! :cool:

I remember Once Upon a Time!

Was just a bit too old for Cities of Gold, I was aware of its existence but I think I was about 14 so had stopped watching kids telly by then.
 
I just watched 6 in a row of the first series, yes it does stand up, good stories. i remember from being a kid that feeling of "wow this programme has been on for several lifetimes and they still haven't even reached the new world yet".
 
Bah grow up you lot.

Actually that animation looks pretty good, and nicely in line with the old series.
I did enjoy the original when I was a lad, but I wasn't obsessed, maybe I was just out of the age range. It did seem to give kids a little bit more credit than other cartoons. Kids aren't stupid.
. . . Oh no, I was just listening to that you tube clip above and the title music came on as I was typing. It's the same music . . .and I welled up a little now I have to wipe away a slight tear in my eye. Maybe I wasn't too old after all.
 
Yeah, even though nobody ever really dies or gets injured, the Conquistadors are proper nasty and the Incas properly rise up and go to war. It's good stuff :)

even in like the second episode the inca girl Zia tells Esteban "my father told me never to say where my home is, because white people will come and steal it. But it's ok because you're not really spanish"!
 
not entirely suitable for young children though... my little boy was pointing at the screen laughing and saying "turtle turtle" when they get washed up on the galapagos islands and see a cute giant turtle, but then in the scene they are cooking it over a fire and eating it.

how is that a problem?
 
I don't know but it seemed quite upsetting. using my imagination i guess it was that he had seen a cute animal and then it was killed and eaten. death and stuff is weirdly upsetting for kids.

I have a few private torrent client invites available but you have to promise to obey their rules :(

im prepared to follow just about any rule if i can get to watch mysterious cities of gold :D
was thinking that it was maybe a bit too geek/niche to register on the torrents or on the p2p streaming sites. do you reckon it will get on them?

I'll keep an eye out and if I find a good download i'll PM you x
 
We are watching series 1 at the moment (there's a good torrent out there now, including all the mini documentaries for each episode), so have ordered series 2 on DVD. The reviews are glowing, so I'm really looking forward to it :)
 
I remember the name of this, but I can't remember ever watching it, but then I recognise characters etc.

I really want them to repeat ulysess 31.... that rocked.
