The internet sensation from the turn of the millenium, setting the world on its ear, then setting the world on its other ear, has finally made it to become a streaming series. Vivziepop, the creative mastermind behind Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel and Zoophobia, joins with Spindle Horse to bring us Andrew Hussie’s Homestuck.

Homestuck was, and is, wildly popular. Begun as a web comic by Andrew Hussie in 2009, the comic started as something being done in MS Paint, establishing its defiant stance before a single frame was released. It was interactive, contained videos, animations, micro-games, flash animation and more.
Now it is apparently taking its next evolutionary step and becoming an animated property via Vizziepop, and we have this trailer for a pilot thing to look at. Honestly, it looks fascinating, though Vizziepop will have their hands full with this. Doing the full Homestuck series justice might be impossible, since the original was made between 2009 and 2016 and is comprised of some 8123 pages and 500 “episodes”, some of which uses internet technology that is no longer broadly supported. Spindle Horse, however, appears committed to the task.
There is an IMDB page about the new production, but it doesn’t reveal very much that we didn’t already know. The voice cast features Toby “Radiation” Fox as John Egbert, Cherami Leigh as Rose Lalonde, Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Jade Harley, Adam McArthur as Dave Strider, and Brandon Winckler as Karkat Vantas. Toby Fox is already canonically the voice of John Egbert.
