Agreed! Glad you enjoyed it. It was my favourite animated show of last year.
It’s on Netflix now and apparently they are considering picking it up for season 2 depending on how season 1 performs for them. Not sure how it’s doing, it’s only been like a week since it premiered on Netflix. Hopefully it does well.
I disagree with your premise. Not only do those types of shows continue to air to this day (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park) but newer shows as well (Veep, Big Mouth, Solar Opposites, etc).
I’m surprised you thought Castlevania looked bad? I’m not the biggest fan of the show but I thought the animation, especially during the fight scenes was great.
Haha yeah. It’s an unfortunate side effect of the fact that animation in the English speaking world is still mostly associated as kids focused entertainment by the broader population.
Well I’m gladly eating crow. Other than some occasional weird CGI this movie was awesome. And I was down on Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth but both of them were awesome.
This is wild, the entire film was animated and directed by a single person (Denver Jackson) over a period of 2 years. Apparently created over 1 hour and 34 min of final animation. Not certain what the final runtime is but that’s amazing.
Man, their run from the 90s to the end of the 2000s is absolutely incredible. Even films like A Bug’s Life and Cars are pretty great. It’s a pity that since then outside of a few films (Inside Out is a personal favourite) it’s been a very uneven filmography at best. I think their decline a few years after Disney’s purchase is very disappointing.
Grim #17 - Grim has been solid throughout but one of my main criticisms was that the characters weren’t super fleshed out. However character focused interludes like this one really help.
Read a couple of DC stuff today including Wonder Woman #9 which continues be really good.

Which upcoming Animated show are you most excited about?
For me it’s gotta be Arcane season 2 later this year. Did a rewatch of season 1 a few weeks ago and it’s completely re-ignited by hype for the show.
