Incredible show, beautiful animation style, original concept and world, catchy musical numbers, and enrapturing character. It’s a little rushed at times, but I’m tempted to blame that on Prime only giving them 8 - 25 minute episodes.

It’s got great production value, and I love the concept, the story, and bones the of the episodes, however, I’m a little perplexed it’s gotten as high ratings as it has. I’m usually a pretty easily entertained, have a pretty powerful suspension of disbelief, and try not to be too critical. However, the dialogue and acting just seems off. The dialogue and writing seems pretty clunky and blunt at times, and the acting seems jarringly off, e.g. Percy shrugs off the death of his mother and doesn’t even seem sad she’s gone, his mom explaining his heritage almost non-chalantly and with little emotion, constant “telling instead of showin. In conjunction with all of this, everything from the cadence of conversation to character development feels very rushed. The shows gives little reason to become invested in the characters, and their relationships & dynamics seemed forced without connecting them to the audience. It’s interesting, and I’m definitely going to finish the series, but it’s disappointing that it feels like the show could have been so much better with minor changes to dialogue, writing, and acting/directing. Maybe these things weren’t considered as important because it was geared towards a younger audience, but c’est la vie I guess Though I do love that Pimento is Dionysius

Brilliant show. Beautiful animation, incredible animation, and interesting character development
