Newgrounds - Daily Collections

Daily collections are existed between 2004 and 2005. They were written, created, and submitted to Newgrounds within the course of one day. Due to the short timeframe, the majority of the included animations are of poor quality, featuring little (if any) animation and for the most part, speech to voice synthesis used for voices. Each collection features from four to five animations, typically with each cartoon produced by a single animator.

These collections are masterminded by Newgrounds user "Coolboyman", better known as "Strawberry Clock", the self proclaimed "King of the Newgrounds Portal" and leader of the infamous Clock Crew. As such, various other "Clocks" have guested on daily collections, as well as members of the similar "Star Syndicate", who also produce their own type of daily cartoons.

The daily collections are generally themed. Most of them are based on TV shows, mainly sitcoms, anime productions, and kids' shows. Certain collections are based after people, while others have been based on movies, cartoon characters, and video games. Some daily collections were submitted simply under the name "DailyToon________" with the cartoon's submission date in the blank space. These collections have no theme, and seem to be primarily compilations of rejected or unused daily collection animations.

None have been made since spring of 2005, and it's unlikely that more will be made.

Astroseries 2 became the very first submission to be received by Newgrounds in 2006.
