If this show had been 10~12 episodes long, it would have been genuinely great. For reasons unknown, they spread everything so thin that they had to recap and literally rerun every single event three or four times over to the point where I was just wanted it to end. To add insult to injury, the big event that was teased throughout the series never actually happens. This isn't the worst Anime ever, but this is such a spectacularly-unforced error that should be taught as a cautionary tale in animation schools around the world.
The very definition of "Out with a whimper."
The music selection for this show is abnormally good. I have a good mind to make a Spotify playlist.
This show is Mad Men set in a Black Mirror universe.
I guess it's getting low rating from people that need the conceit revealed within the first couple of episodes. I like that we're being led along and not allowed to see the whole board. There's a chance that it could end in disappointment, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I can enjoy the Rocket-age aesthetic in the mean time.
They actually did it. They captured the original magic and self-awareness of the original show. If you are a fan from the 1990s, you will lament the loss of all the minor characters (except for Pinky and the Brain), but you will never-the-less enjoy this revival.
Good satire will always be evergreen.
This show is far from over, but it is already the best Digimon since the original series. Turning Digimon into a mystery thriller probably saved the franchise. It's enough of an original story that you don't have to be fans of the original to enjoy it. You may need to avert your child's eyes from time to time as it can get surprisingly graphic for a show meant for older kids.
EDIT: Unfortunately, while still technically being better than most previous Digimon entries, it got stuck in it's own gimmick and couldn't figure out how to be anything more than a Scooby Doo monster-of-the-week kiddie show... with a lot of material that is not appropriate for kids. The finale throwing a curve ball and saying that it was aliens without any setup what-so-ever ended this experiment on a whimper and tremendous disappointment because of what this show could have been for the franchise.
This is made by Williams Street Productions for fans of Williams Street Productions (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, The Brak Show, Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law...). A hellish take on The Office set in the dark upside-down version of the Hanna-Barbara universe created by the demented minds at Cartoon Network. I highly recommend it.
This is some of the best alt-history you will ever watch.
"Attorney at Law"
You had my curiosity, now you have my attention.
Basically, this is Japanese Garfield.
Pokemon: We will forever churn out cut-rate children's TV that's of "okay" quality while mercilessly teasing you with random shorts and one-offs of the significantly higher visual and storytelling quality that you would rather we focus our attention on.
I'm literally giggling because this is a real thing that exists. This will either be very bad or it will be amazing.
