Special 'Class of the Titans' Flyer -- Includes Much Season Two News!

THIS ENTRY CONTAINS SOME MAJOR AND MINOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF 'CLASS OF THE TITANS'. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, THEN PLEASE NEITHER READ ANY FURTHER NOR CLICK ON ANY LINKS. THANK YOU.

A quick look at the newsblog's statistics last night revealed that a surprisingly high number of new hits were coming from a particular page on Studio B Productions' website -- seems like the studio, along with Corus Entertainment (official website here), has put together an amazing promotional flyer about the show for the animation industry, with a particular focus on its second season.

What so amazing about this flyer? You'll have to see for yourself, but here's a quick spoiler-heavy rundown:

  • A key phrase at the beginning is 'werewolves bay at the moon, Mother Nature drops by, and even Hell freezes over!' We know from previous comments by director Brad Goodchild that the werewolves are from Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself and the reference to Hell freezing over is from A Cold Day in Hades. However, the mention of Mother Nature seems to strongly suggest that Gaia -- the personification of the earth and the mother of Cronus, among many other offspring -- will make an appearance in Season Two.

  • Beneath the animatics thumbnails is the official studio summary for the plot of Graes Anatomy. We're not going to copy and paste it here, so please go to the link to read it. Overall, the episode seems to be focused on Odie, with the all-seeing eye shared by the three Graeae playing a key role along with fear. The summary also reveals that the episode will go with Horror, Dread, and Alarm as the individual names for each Grae.

  • There are links to the animatics for Graes Anatomy and two video clips from Season One, although at present, we can't get any of them to work. If you are tech-savvy and know what we're probably doing wrong, please drop us a line in the comments.

  • An Educational Component document (PDF) that explains how each episode in Season One can be used to teach mythology and important life lessons.

  • A Fun Facts document (PDF) with more information about the original myths used in each episode. If you're not familiar with mythology beyond how the cartoon interprets the originals, this is a must-read so you can learn more. And if you're already myth-savvy, it's great reassurance that yes, the writers do their research.

  • Links to various big websites in the fandom, most of which you're already familiar with. And yes, our little fan-run newsblog here gets a mention!

  • Five fan reviews from the summer are also published on the flyer. If you submitted one, have fun knowing that tons of people are reading your thoughts (note: one of the reviews was written by the newsblog editor -- see if you can guess which one), and if you didn't, see what your fellow fans have to say about the show!


That basically sums-up the entire flyer, but you must see it for yourself to see how great it really is.

Also, we've finally gotten around to updating the Season Two news summary with all of the recent information, including the things revealed here. It's a fairly big update, so please take a look at it.
