    I loved it. It made me smile and it felt a little surreal to be watching a continuation of THE cartoon of my childhood.

    I was pleasantly surprised. A very strong start for the season. I ended up starting a watch through of the original animated series

      First episode for me was just meh. Definitely a recap to bring people back up to speed on things. 2nd episode went full throttle and if that’s the way they’re gonna approach the rest of the series, it’ll be a hit.

      I was talking to my wife about it. She likes how it is stylized to look like the original show, but personally I don’t like how digital it still looks. They did a good job keeping true to the original style, and I know technology has advanced a lot, but something seems off not to me by using cels.

      It seems to “clean” to me, but I might just be an animation nerd asking for too much

        Is it because it’s computer generated animation? That was the vibe I got, similar to a lot of the newer anime. It looks ok but something about it throws me off.

          Yeah that’s the main reason. I don’t want to knock it too hard since they did a better job than I thought they would, but I’m a sucker for traditional (non digital/computer) animation. Story wise I love how they are picking up from the ending and not taking it a different route so far, and all the characters are acting like how they were in the OG series. Great reboot in a landscape of cheap cash ins
